Saturday Spins - Three new acquisitions

Local importer finally received his shipment of vinyl which included two albums I'd ordered. When I popped 'round to collect them, I also discovered he had a spare copy of Joni Mitchell's "Blue" on a newly re-issued 180gm - so I snatched it to replace my 40 year old copy which is knackered.
Here are the first impressions...
1) "The Hawk Flies High" (Coleman Hawkins) - MoFi 180gm
Recorded in: 1957
Pressed in : 2006
Stereo/Mono: Mono
Recording  : Historical
Mastering  : *****
Pressing   : *****
Performance: *****
Impressions: The age shines through ito recording, but performance more than makes up for it.
2) "Blue" (Joni Mitchell) - Reprise 180gm
Recorded in: 1967
Pressed in : 2006
Stereo/Mono: Stereo
Recording  : ****
Mastering  : ****
Pressing   : *****
Performance: *****
Impressions: A worthy replacement for a worn-out favourite album.
2) "Holly Cole" (Holly Cole) - T&M (German) 180gm
Recorded in: 2006
Pressed in : 2007
Stereo/Mono: Stereo
Recording  : *****
Mastering  : *****
Pressing   : *****
Performance: *****
Impressions: One of the best pressings I've heard - Holly weaves her usual magic.
All in all, a worthwhile Saturday's listening...
