In case you missed it last week BGO has put out a sweet compilation of Hubbard's late 70s works. Keep Your Soul Together, his last work on CTI in my opinion is just as good as his first Red Clay. All 3 releases are remastered and sound better than before, especially Polar AC.which never sounded good on the previous issues I owned, http://amzn.com/B00IKXVMXI

I'll have to pick this one up. The last Cannonball album I bought was The Happy People, which is wasn't bad.

Oh I recommend picking this one up as soon as possible! It's on Wounded Bird who delete titles only after a couple years, and this one's got a two year head start!. It's highly worth it.

So was there ever a newer mastering that corrected the squeaking problem? And if I understand right this was due to a faulty drum pedal?

Can anyone comment on the quality and sound of Freddie Hubbard - Backlash and Griffith Park Collection? Should I replace my originals?

Hi I'm looking for an album on CD called Yama by Art Farmer. As far as I know it was only issued in Japan. The last 2 on ebay sold for near $100, I'm willing to match the price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ART-FARMER-YAMA-JAPAN-CD-JOE-HENDERSON-/140945794921

Very good find! Gentle Warrior was my first Tim Warfield album as well. I later got all his albums except for his last one "A Sentimental Journey". My favorite one and the one I recommend as your second choice is "A Whisper In The Midnight". While I'm at it, I also should mention that Tim Warfield appears on most of Terrell Stafford's albums on MaxJazz label. I highly recommend "Taking Chances: Live at the Dakota" He's awesome on that, as well as Stafford! . Theres another album with the same group, but this time lead by the drummer Dana Hall. "Into the Light".

I've really gotten into classical music recently and I've started to develop a passion for these Living Stereo recordings. I bought about 15 within the last 30 days! However I have been buying the original CD issues from 93-2000. They sound amazing, I can't imagine the redbook layers on the sacds sounding remarkably better. Plus the original issues didn't shrink the beautiful cover art like the SACDs have.

I got the Yusef Lateef box a few days ago. The sound quality is excellent, and I discovered I think what is a new favorite album. The Dreamer. It looks like outside another compilation this album has never has a stand alone CD release, but I think it's definitely worth it.

I have Cookin on a seperate release. The box set I was considering was http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Albums-Miles-Davis/dp/B005HWUD4O/ but if its not Stereo I'm backing out. The issues that I have say they digitally remastered but no credits are given. They sound decent but noticeably mono.

I currently have a 3 CD box set of Miles Davis' Workin Relaxin'. Steamin albums on Proper Records UK from 2008. I'm not sure if its bootleg or not, but I did notice that all the album sound Mono. I was thinking of upgrading to a new box set released last year on Prestige which has the RVG remasterings, but I wanted to know if there were or if there exists Stereo version of these albums?

Hmm the packaging does not indicate that it is remastered but I did compare the wave forms and spectral views in Audacity and saw small differences in the shapes and sizes of the forms. Im not sure thats the right way to compare, but they dont appear to be the same masterings.
