  2. Jan Johansson reissue coming?

    in Re-issues

    Posted · Edited by tjobbe

    Some news on the Jan Johansson remasters:

    it seems that there is a new rematser of Musik Genom Fyra Sekler out at cdbaby...

    Has anyone checked that out and compared to the original version and can either recommend an upgrade ? Is there as well some additional footage embedded ?

    Cheers, Oliver

    EDIT: the new 2CD set is as well available at www.cdon.com for european orders.

  4. Black Lion 24Bit remasters at 2001

    in Re-issues

    mhhh, just listened to the three Pettifords (which I was mainly interested in beside the Monk in London Vol.1-3) which are live recordings from 1959 and I would not complain about their quality.

    I have non of those duplicate as original Black Lions (16Bit transfer) so I cannot comment on previous transfers. The sound is acceptable for a pre-60's live recording, heard much worse stuff. When I recall correctly there was an older thread somewhere in the re-issues vault that as well complaint about the 24bit were a bit "sharper" than the first transfers.

    Cheers, Oliver

    BTW: I wouldn't buy them for the full price like JPC charges for them here at 19€

  5. Unrestricted digital music on the Internet

    yes Claude have seen that as well, that pricing schema might be now a bit weird but there are two interesting aspects

    a) download and Hi-res can go together and there will be an alternative. I believe that there are/will be hi-res streaming clients soon as well that have high quality DAC's build in

    b) that a record company (though being indipendent) is explicitely mentioning to avoid any DRM

    That is a promising signal...

    Cheers, Oliver

    since few weeks Linnrecords is as well providing all of their catalogue as download without ANY DRM at all. They as well provide artwork with it for downloading and printout as well after successfully loading a record.

    What I found rather promising is the fact that they as well provide you with different quality for different price model so that you can choose between MP3/320k and WMA lossless but for some they as well provide hi-res WMA download comparable to their SA-CD quality (right now, its 5 records only, but who knows).

  9. LF: 1987 German Impulse! CD reissues

    Hans,

    I sold my German 1987 Out of the cool version recently after I compared it to the Japaneses version (guess who that sold to me :D )

    Sonically that was definitely worse than the japanese one.

    I meanwhile checked my Inpluses and found others (not for sale of course ;) ) which are the Blakey, the Coltrane&Ellington, the Jarrett Treasure Island and the Coltrane Ascencion being manufacture at Record Service GmbH Alsdorf and from 1987.

    Cheers, Oliver

    254 619-2 John Coltrane - The John Coltrane Quartet Plays

    I got that with booklet and disk in mint condition Hans... the jewel case is not that good. In case of interest (trade possible as well) please PM me. I still have the village vanguard three track as duplicate here but without the booklet but pure CD so maybe that is not what you're looking for

    Best regards, Oliver

    Thanks Mike,

    my direct neighbors suffered more heavy with a destroyed car and the other with lot's of scratches in the roof of his house we couldn't fix during the night so the rain go in there poring into the bathroom where the tried to catch and stop it somehow. In other cases only some damage to trees.

    The leak I have in the barn's roof is at clear sight not that bad as it is only at an area where few bales where stapled so the majority has not suffered from the rain at all and kept dry.

    Due to the height of the roof, there was not much chances to fix anything myself. I'm waiting for the guy to fix it at least temporarily but he's late due to all the damage

    Cheers, Oliver

    sunny now <_<, the storm was rushing through quicker than expected and left over some rain the night only, so as my Mosiac'S are all save its only the straw that gets a bit wet...

    Btw, Mosaic's... the famous Dionysos mosaic in the cologne Museum of roman art is potentially damaged by a wooden pannel protecting a fountain 100m nearby crushing the window and falling on to it

    lost again power for 1h and 1/4 of the roof of my barn....ups

    Do you mean "oops"? Or do you mean the roof flew ups in the air?

    ....

    both Scott, the german ups=oops and the ups=up as 10qm is gone with the wind...do not where it landed at least not on my property.

    Hope that the worst is over now, but I fear it might start raining before I can close the holes. Have about 100 (missed a "0" there...should be 1000) bales of hey and straw in the barn.

    Cheers, Oliver

  17. Black Lion 24Bit remasters at 2001

    in Re-issues

    Posted

    some of these titles are available at www.cybermusicsurplus.com for only $5.50, with free shipping on orders over $50 (in the u.s.). btw, the label is 1201, not 2001. ;)

    2001 is the shop name and the label releasing them here is DA (Deutsche Austrophon, da-music.com) :w

    The Cybermusic's offerings is nice but not that attractive for me in Europe with Shipping and custom&tax added on larger orders.

    Cheers, Oliver

    All,

    for the 2001 aficionados they are currently having roughly 60 CD's in store from the Black Lion 24Bit series that normal sells at 15-18€ regular price tag. Not sure if that is attractive for US folks but within europa that might still be a bargain.

    Best regards, Oliver

  21. BFT #42 CD 1 - Answers

    in Blindfold Test

    Posted

    thanks for that set of discs ! Was fun to listen and guess

    From the CD "Hot mallet" . It was recorded in December 1982 and originally published 1983 (LP) by bell records. The number is BLR 84 030. My CD must be a sort of reissue, because is has a copyright sign with the date of 1992.

    it a re-issue of the Jeton 125/1 Cd that came out in 1985. Bell has taken over the vault of jeton after they went out of business. The Jeton CD is a japanese manufactured one and still sounding great compared to other "HighEnd" stuff.

    Cheers, Oliver
