Here's How it was done FOR THE 45 SPEED PRESSINGS:

Using only the original analog master tapes,  remastered and cut all of the titles at AcousTech Mastering, which features a pure Class-A disc-cutting system. AcousTech is located at Record Technology, Inc. the plant where the vinyl was pressed. It is a tremendous sonic advantage to have the pressing plant plating department & mastering room in the same facility as Steve & Kevin could cut a lacquer and plated immediately. This prevents the degradation of the grooves in a lacquer which is very fragile to quick deterioration.

And of course cutting at 45 speed is the audiophile choice for the highes quality. A 45-RPM record is sonically superior to a 33 1/3 variety because of a 35 percent reduction of groove curvature compared to a 33 1/3 cut.. It means that while you can't fit as much music into a 45, the undukations of the groove that your cartridge has to track are stretched over a longer distance. For these reissues, the music was displaced onto four sides, meaning each side contains about 10 minutes of music.

This is the ultimate reissues. The only way you'll get closer to this classic music is to listen to the master tapes or have been in the studio with the artist originally during the actual session.

 You should never pass up the opportunity to upgrade your collection. They're each very limited in their pressings and disappear with extraordinary quickness from the vinyl market. This causes prices to skyrocket because once they are gone, they are gone forever! Don't second-guess yourself with this chance to upgrade your collection  because before you know it, the opportunity will have passed forever.

 

BOSS TENOR 45 Speed – 2 Sealed LP Set –  SO RARE THIS TITLE A LONE SELLS FOR $350 IF YOU CAN FIND ONE STILL SEALED 

At Prestige, Gene Ammons basically did two types of sessions: a jamming situation with several other all-star horns; or a quartet format featuring a top-flight rhythm section behind him. Whatever the setting, "Jug" as he was nicknamed, displayed that dominant trait held in common with other giants in the grand history of his chosen instrument, the tenor saxophone-the ability to tell a story. Here are the blues, the ballads, Charlie Parker's "Confirmation," and Eddie Heywood's "Canadian Sunset." The latter had Been a hit for its pianist-composer and was again for Ammons. An added feature here is the addition of jazz-oriented conga player, Ray Barretto, to the piano, bass, and drums of Tommy Flanagan, Doug Watkins, and Arthur Taylor. Track Listings 1.   Hittin' The Jug 2.   Close Your Eyes 3.   My Romance 4.   Canadian Sunset 5.   Blue Ammons 6.   Confirmation 7.   Savoy

 

 

 

  

 

GENE BLUE 45 Speed – 2 Sealed LP Set – 

Another of the mid-1950s Ammons' studio jam sessions for Prestige, Blue Gene lives up to its title by utilizing blues changes as the basis for three of its four selections. Pianist Mal Waldron wrote all these lines and the minor-key ballad, Hip Tip. Ammons was one of the most expressive saxophonists and, in Idrees Sulieman and Pepper Adams, he found soulmates among the other horns. Each man had jammed with Gene on Prestige previously.

GENE AMMONS NICE AN' COOL 180 GRAM 45rpm SPEED NUMBERED 119  DOUBLE LP SET

 

Always a popular jazz artist, Ammons recorded dozens of albums. His most creative period was the early '60's. Almost anything he recorded is worth hearing. There have been album collections of his complete Mercury output, complete Chess recordings, and a whole spate of Prestige reissues. His work is highlighted by a hard-driving mixture of bebop and R&B devices delivered with a tone as big as a house. One of the great ballad players of any era, he has been widely hailed as a great interpreter."- Bob Porter.

SOULFUL MOODS 45 Speed – 2 Sealed LP Set – LOW NUMBERED #140

 

One of the best efforts from Ammons' extensive catalog. A fat, warm, rich sax tone - you know, the one you immediately identify as Jug - is on display in all its glory on this great Moodsville release.

"Feeling tired and stressed out? Give Uncle Gene a spin. Besides perfect pitch, Ammons' other special gift was a melodic sense that allowed him to effectively convey feelings at slow tempos. Here is a great jazz ballad player given full scope to spin his charms." -

BAD! BOSSA NOVA ALTO AA 026 LIMITED EDITION PRESSING - This is the ultimate reissues. The only way you'll get closer to this classic music is to listen to the master tapes or have been in the studio with the artist originally during the actual session.

Island rhythms abound on Bad! Bossa Nova and the floating, flying, expansive tenor saxophone of Gene Ammons exploits them like "Air" Jordan soaring up and over an opposition defense. From the mellow strains of "Pagan Love Song" to the extended and extremely rhythmically-oriented "Ca'Purange" (a  hit when first issued), Ammons takes us on a tour that stops in the Caribbean ("Yellow Bird), an Italian film featuring Silvana Mangano ("Anna"), and the Brazilian jungle ("Moito Mato Grosso"). His powerful second solo on the last one is alone worth the price of admission.

Track Listings 1.   Pagan Love Song 2.   Ca'Purange (Jungle Soul) 3.   Anna 4.   Cae' Cae' 5.   Moito Mato Grosso 6.   Yellow Bird

GENE AMMONS - FUNKY - RE-ISSUE ON PRESTIGE PR 7083 - The extended solos on Funky by Gene Ammons, Kenny Burrell, Jackie McLean, and Art Farmer - each among the all-time greats on their axes, each with their own very recognizable tones - are so melodic and creative that I have practically memorized them. Ammons in particular creates solos that sound like little songs in their own right .  It's really a shame that these Prestige Records "blowing sessions" of the 1950s are so often dismissed as being unrehearsed, spontaneous and somehow without artistic merit. How could you have ears and think that? On the title tune of Funky, for instance, you get a simple, riff-based head that is then repeated in a tight harmony by the horn ensemble before Ammons launches into his song-like solo. Thereafter, each soloist can be heard deliberately taking a phrase from the previous soloist to launch his own, almost as if each is completing the others' musical thoughts. Burrell picks up and finishes Ammons musical sentence, before McLean later picks up a motive from Burrell. When pianist Mal Waldron enters, he goes all the way back to the opening phrase of Art Farmer's solo. It's marvelously sustained. Everybody's listening to everybody and actively creating a single, cohesive musical statement. On the two Jimmy Mundy-arranged tunes, Mundy also keeps everyone on their toes by making all four lead soloists share a single bridge or exchanging fours in unpredictable pairs. And then there's "Stella By Starlight," on which Ammons turns in what may be the definitive ballad exposition of this standard before everyone solos during a double-time section. Throughout, bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor create a hazy, nighttime groove that makes this album a great record to chill out to. (Taylor only picks things up a bit on the final track.) Despite the "hi-fi jam session" marketing spiel on the otherwise super-cool album cover, Funky deserves to be recognised as one of the most memorable albums of the 1950s.
