1945:

A pretty successful weekend with picking up some new vinyl. Spent way too much money, but two of those Blue Notes are original pressings in fantastic condition, so I really cant complain. The Sonny Criss album I have is the original stereo pressing but is in the mono sleeve with a stereo sticker on it. 

Soul Station is an album I’ve been after for a loooooong time now. I’d much rather have an earlier pressing (even a King era Jap. reissue would be okay, but Liberty repressings and earlier are my ideal), but this was too good a deal to pass up. $20 for the reissue plus a cd recording of the album. Now I’ve got something to listen to on the way to work!
