Nina Simone, Let It All Out, 1966 on Philips
Yes, back in the day Philips (who you likely know more now as the maker of Sonicare toothbrushes) was also a reputable jazz and classical label. Though the copyright was 1965 they put out this album in 1966. Simone switched to Philips in 1964 and was there (putting out seven LPs) until switching to RCA Victor in 1967. My copy—again via Mystery Train in Gloucester MA—is a 2016 reissue in the "Back to Black" series by Verve Music Group, pressed at Record Industry in The Netherlands.

Sonny Rollins, Sonny Rollins On Impulse!, 1965 on Impulse
Classic album, featuring Rollins with Walter Booker (bass), Mickey Roker (drums), and Ray Bryant (piano). Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in the summer of 1965. Sadly Rollins passed this May (2026) in Woodstock NY. My copy—via Mystery Train Records in Gloucester MA—is the 2021 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue, supervised by Chad Kassem, cut by Ryan Smith, and pressed at Quality Record Pressing (QRP). Sounds fantastic!https://goatless.org/2026/06/10/sonny-rollins-sonny-rollins-on-impulse-1965-on-impulse

Mose Allison, Mose Allison Sings, 1963 on Prestige
Compilation of tracks from Allison's first albums which had been released on Prestige between 1957 and 1959. Though he was first known as a pianist, he gradually sang more and more. This was the first compilation in which he sang on every track. All were recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, and Ira Gitler wrote the liner notes. My copy—via Mystery Train Records in Gloucester MA—is a mid-sixties (c1965) reissue on dark blue Prestige labels. You can see how the laminated cover has started to […]https://goatless.org/2026/06/05/mose-allison-mose-allison-sings-1963-on-prestige

Bill Evans and Jim Hall, Intermodulation, 1966 on Verve
This was a follow-up to 1962's Undercurrent, which also featured Hall and Evans. Produced by Creed Taylor and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in two sessions in April and May 1966. It's just Evans on piano and Hall on guitar, starting with two standards ("I've Got You Under My Skin" and "My Man's Gone Now") and then a number of more contemporary tunes, including originals by Evans and Hall as well as Joe Zawinul. My copy—via Mystery Train in Gloucester MA—is a 60s pressing with Van Gelder […]https://goatless.org/2026/05/31/bill-evans-and-jim-hall-intermodulation-1966-on-verve

Home Country Cape Ann Puzzle
Via RoseArt, Home Country – Cape Ann 1000 piece puzzle.
“Cape Ann” by Anthony Kleem is the source material here. You can see many of the inspirations on the Gloucester HarborWalk: The Paint Factory, for example.
Love the colors on this one, especially the fall trees in the foreground and on the hills in the background.

For the cycling-inclined, I thought you might enjoy the bike racks there.
But watch out for the nearby Shellfish Constable. I did not know this was a thing.

Some less silent photos of other tree highlights. Each lobster pot buoy is hand painted.
And from the inside of the tree there's a shot that made me feel a little bit like a lobster might feel....

Wonderful story a few days ago in the Boston Globe about Maria Herrick Bray (1828–1921), a Gloucester woman who kept the two lighthouses on Thatcher Island, off Cape Ann, lit for three days and nights during a snowstorm in 1864. And that's not all! She led a jam-packed life. Link is below, but silly Boston Globe doesn't let you give gift articles, so if you'd like to read the story, let me know. I have a Word doc I can send you. #CapeAnn #GloucesterMA #lighthouses
