Pure Pleasure Records

[Tango]

Recently I bought a Budd Johnson's The Definitive Black & Blue Sessions, Pure Pleasure Records. I enjoy the vinyl greatly. I am wondering how other find records from this label. And I would very much appreciate if you guys could recommend interesting albums from their catalog pictured below.




Thank you,
Tang

According to my music spreadsheet I own 4 Pure Pleasure pressings:

1 - Mingus Presents Charles Mingus
2 - God Bless the Child - Burrell
3 - Jefferson Airplane - Bless Its Pointed Little Head
4 - Keb Mo - Back by Popular Demand

My recollection is that all 4 albums sound excellent. I have listened to the Keb Mo LP the most and it is outstanding.

After MFs 100 AAA-LP recommendation I bought the Cassandra Wilson - Belly of the sun. Love the music (her characteristic voice, the variety in her music styles), but sound quality and pressing quality are great too.

Thank you for the information, because I was thinking about purchase some new albums.

I have ordered a whole bunch of their releases for the store, as they have been reissuing a lot of spiritual jazz titles, from labels such as Strata East and Nimbus. Originals of those are $$$, so the reissues are always welcome.
I have listened to a few, and they sound great, but none of those are particularly great recordings as far as sound quality. Just great music.
Their releases are quite spendy ($30+) and go out of print fast.

I bought the Pure Pleasure Strata East recordings and have been very impressed. I highly recommend Clifford Jordan's Glass Bead Games, great example of post bop jazz. I did extensive A/B comparison between my perfect original copy ($200) and the PP copy ($50) and found that I slightly preferred the PP copy.

Does that mean you are interested in selling the original copy???
