Any ECM fans here?

In 1976-77 I went to Record Hunter on 42 and Fifth Avenue NYC twice and bought a total of 50 ECM LPs at $5.99 each. Excellent SQ and fine contemporary jazz! That was for my first high-end system!

@roberjerman those were the days...I lived near the east village and used to love going to the used record stores down there.  I found some real gems.

Killer places in Manhattan then,46,49 st.off Bway .As a young man I loved going through thousands of albums from every where in the world...Didn't really learn till later that the Brill Building on Bway was probably the reason so many record and music places were near buy.

I was fortunate to have been managing a hifi store at the time ECM pressings first appeared. The European pressings were very prized. I was also blessed to have a jazz-fusion bass player as one of my employees. Between us, we managed to afford a few Jarrett, Metheny, Burton and Corea discs. Gary Burton used to give my old Decca cartridge fits!
It helped that Pat Metheny dated my best friend's sister when he was in high school. Didn't really know him personally, sadly, but only because I didn't know he was there. The kids had him cornered in the sun room with his guitar. 
I was gabbing with my best friend's family and you know.

ECM has created audiophiles out of modern jazz fans
AND VICE-VERSA! I'm digital now but an ECM freak from back in the day.
