Bill Evans - Behind The Dikes: The 1969 Netherlands Recordings

Url: https://www.discogs.com/Bill-Evans-Behind-The-Dikes-The-1969-Netherlands-Recordings/release/19527619
I've really been enjoying this Bill Evans three-record set I picked up on RSD.

Elton John's Greatest Hits, vol. II;
J. J. In Person, the J. J. Johnson Quintet

Getz/Gilberto 2, Live at Carnegie Hall - just bought this on Discogs, and am pretty disappointed with this copy- the seller rated it NM, but it it's got so much surface noise it's nearly unlistenable! It looks good, so they must have just rated it by sight. I love the album, though, so am now looking for another copy. 

I sauntered into my local record store today around 1:00 pm and was very pleasantly surprised that they had one copy left of the RSD release Bill Evans Behind the Dikes. I snapped it up and just got the chance to sit and listen - so far, it sounds very nice!

The New Stan Getz Quartet Featuring Astrud Gilberto - Getz Au Go Go

Just love this record, wonderfully recorded - sounds if I'm sitting in Cafe au Go Go in 1964.

Red Holloway & Company
Kenny Burrell - Guitar Forms

Two I picked up yesterday at my local used records spot: Eagles "Hotel California" and "The Individualism of Gil Evans."
