  1. Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd, Jazz Samba, 1962 on Verve

    Early work in the bossa nova trend in the US, recorded at Pierce Hall, All Souls Unitarian Church in DC and released two years before Getz/Gilberto. Includes “Desafinado” (which was also on Getz/Gilberto) and “Samba de Uma Nota” composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

    My copy—via a private sale—is the 2023 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue on Verve by UMG / UMe, which is a fantastic pressing.

  8. the spring wind
    still cold...
    with such a scent of plum blossoms
    I just cannot close
    my windows’ paper sliders

    はる風は
    まだ寒けれど
    梅香に
    まどのさうじも
    さされざりけり
    -Ōtagaki Rengetsu (太田垣蓮月 1791-1875).

  13. Elvis Costello, My Aim Is True, 1977 on Columbia

    Costello’s debut album, coming roaring out of the gate with a new mix of punk, rockabilly, new wave, and British pub rock. Produced by Nick Lowe and recorded in Islington, London. Out on Stiff Records originally in the UK, then Columbia in the US.

    The original US version added “Watching the Detectives” but this version follows the original UK tracklist and cover (well, with the yellow background front cover, not the early black & white).

    My copy—direct from the merch table at an Elvis Costello / Steve Nieve show—is a 2015 reissue on 180g vinyl by UMe on Columbia-style labels with “Costello” where Columbia would have been.
