Hank Mobley - Soul Station

[Johnny Vinyl]

So I have this LP on an inexpensive non-audiophile Blue Note reissue, which sounds quite nice. I was surprised actually. However, I'm really enjoying this record and wouldn't mind springing for an audiophile release or an excellent original (yeah...ok).

So to all of the WBF Jazz experts......where do I start or what should I consider?

Obligatory pic (because I like that...haha)

Chances are if it's a recent "cheap" release, it's digital.

I don't know. I do know I like this album and want a better copy.

You want a Classic Records reissue. There is a mono and I think a stereo version. If you don't use a mono cart on a mono record, you are better off getting a stereo version. I will have to check my collection to see if I have both.

No mono cartridge, so I'll stick with the stereo...thank you Christian!

Any good sites you can recommend for me to look at? I used to buy from The Music.com, but they changed I think.

Here' a sealed version on eBay. Do a search there and you may find a nm copy for less.

Cool! Thanks again! I'll browse around and will let you know what I turn up!

Music Matters released a version of Soul Station in 2x 45 rpm (in stereo just like how it was recorded). It is sublime, one of my favorite reissues regardless of genre.

Here are all the Music Matters Blue Notes I could find at Chad's shop. Soul Station does not seem to be in print anymore.

John, IMO the Music Matters is the one to get...IF you can source it. An original Blue Note deep groove pressing is going to cost you some serious coin!

I actually found a sealed copy as well. I remember I had to buy a complete subscription when I signed up after the series was under way, so I have duplicates of some of the early titles. Anyone interested send me a message.
