I only have December (1982) bought around that time or a little after, when Windham Hill was a new label.

(I thought I'd framed it better - must have bumped the camera!)

But I also have a William Ackerman album that George Winston also plays on (and who co-produced the above with him).

They should be in fairly pristine condition. Only played a few times, clean stylus and a Hunts brush always used at that time, stored since.

I'd forgotten about them, I must give them a listen again soon when I have the turntables and associated amplifier back online.

Anybody else remember Windham Hill records?

I only have a few tracks of his and Windham Hill records on these sampler albums



And a favourite album is Tuck and Patti's Tears of Joy

Thanks for the effort to find those, take out and photograph!
Yes now I vaguely remember seeing a sampler or two. You did well.

I'll have to look up Tuck & Patti again, posting before having done so - the names ring an affectionate bell !!

Did you have a listen to Tuck and Patti RdM ?

Found another Windham Hill, "An Invitation to Windham Hill"

I did eventually look them up, their home page, Discogs, the name and that album cover had rung a bell. Thanks!

Love her precise diction. Discogs shows that they had a a few albums on Windham Hill label including that first one.

But meanwhile I've found another six Windham Hill LPs that I have, the first two should have been shelved with them.

Tried to take photos tonight but light too low ... I might try again tomorrow.

Cheers !

The other six Windham Hill LPs I found I have I thought I took fairly carefully aligned front and rear iPhone photos of, but weirdly only three fronts turned up, none of the rears.

The linked rear  full size ones should have been good enough to read the small print on. But I got weird .HEIC files which may've been part of an inadvertent HDR sequence?

Hmm. No, it's a new format in ios 15+ photos that I need to convert to jpg. I use Irfanview on Win 7 apart from other viewers on the various linux laptops and PC. Getting there ..

So now I've started converting them, I might have the full sequence to upload later.

It was much easier with jpgs straight from the old Lumix digital camera.

But I had an iphone holder for the horizontal tripod so thought it might be easier to level, try out for a change.

Here's a start: Obviously still not leveled, and the only rough outer cover condition one (I tend not to use outer sleeves ... )

More piano;- this is great, closely miked. Er, recorded with close microphones...

I played both of those and they sound quite clean, which is a relief. Hardly played, and the outside cover damage is superficial.

Up next a couple of solo guitar albums from Alex deGrassi, another from  George Cromarty, and a mixed instrumental album with Scott Cossu.

Later ...
