On with the Big Beat honkfest! In this post we feature updates to previous Red Prysock posts, especially the revamped "Cryin' My Heart Out" Saxophonograph LP. For a little bit of fun I thought I'd come up with a new front cover which is more "in period" as it utilizes a 1940s photo of Red with Tiny Grimes in New York. The real cover and label artwork is below.

An anonymous donor sent in "The Big Sound Of Red Prysock" which is a 1964 LP on the budget Forum Circle label. The original post is here:
I can't find any discographical information on this release but having listened to it earlier today I can say that "Castle Rock" is one of the best honk tracks I've ever heard.

Back in 2010, Jeff sent in a copy of the Sil Austin v Red Prysock sax duel LP, "Battle Royal." You can read the original post with comments from Jeff here:

Coming soon - more New York honk with Sil Austin, Buddy Lucas and Freddie Mitchell.

Re. THE BIG SOUND OF
Album was released in 1964. Forum Circle was either owned or affiliated to Roulette so the probability is that these are unissued Roulette recordings from 1963/64.
An oddity - I have a scan with the label shown as Parliament - Pop Series and number as PAK-EE but also showing Forum matrix SF-9083-A
Thanks, Daddy Cool. I wonder if somewhere there is a record of who is playing with Red on these tracks.
