Record Buying Tips

"Thumb" Through ECM's Vinyl Catalog

Michael Fremer  |  Jul 17, 2018

ECM recently sent an email blast containing a link to the label's vinyl catalogue, which you can "thumb" through to see all that's available.

You'll appreciate the separate category for records sourced from analog masters—not that a high resolution digital file transferred to vinyl is to be avoided! The catalog is more extensive than I thought it would be and even digitized online, is so beautifully laid out you'd want to leave it on your coffee table.

Among the many recommended "analog masters" titles:

Köln Concerts Keith Jarrett
801/81 Haden, DeJohnette Redman, Brecker
Offramp Pat Metheny
Paris Concert Circle
Crystal Silence Gary Burton/Chick Corea
Conference of the Birds Dave Holland Quartet
Return to Forever Chick Corea
Contrasts Sam Rivers

Especially from the analog masters series and classical section.

Just wish the clips were a little longer but kudos for the idea.
