PM on the Shepp/Parlanns, the Reece and the Donaldson.

I've opened it. Very basic packaging. No mastering information. Very good sound. . .or as good as the recording is likely to sound.

One great thing about moving from Texas back to Ohio six years ago is that Mosaic material arrives much much quicker.

"Charles Tolliver All-Stars" cd 2019, Strata East (via Mosaic Records). Sounds great, no mastering credit.

Thad Jones "The Magnificent" Blue Note Rudy Van Gelder lp facsimile cd Japan

I haven't removed the cellophane yet, but it seems very basic as far as the cover and back, in a jewel case. I doubt you will be impressed.

Right, they were paired together on a US Blue Note cd. I really like those early years of Blue Note.

Ben Webster "Valentine's Day 1964 Live!" DOT Time cd. With David Friedman, Richard Davis and Grady Tate. Sound is okay, performance is killer.

I didn't get a tracking number, a week ago I got a message that my order had been turned over to their shipping outfit. Mine arrived today, along with he Ben Webster on Dot Time.

Astrud Gilberto "Now" 24/96 side of Dual Disc

Another wonderful release from Adventure Music. Excellent sound. Echoes of Jarrett Impulse! and early Weather Report as if recorded on ECM. "Fronteiras Imaginarias" Antonio Arnedo, Benjamin Tabukin, Joao Taubkin, Sergio Reze

I got the five SHM-CDs in from cd.japan and the two I have listened to sound EXCELLENT. Very nice printing on the LP facsimile covers, and my one quibble would be that the cover material could be denser and there not be tabs folded across the back.

"Introducing the Kenny Drew Trio" Blue Note, Japan UHQCD. Sounds fantastic. Great playing. Followed by The Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet "Phase III" Japanese mini-lp facsimile SHM-CD

Yes, my typing error.

I just went through the upcoming list on cdjapan. Kenny Burrell's "Introducing Kenny Burrell" is listed as "Remastered" in the track listing. McCoy Tyner's "Tender Moments" has one track that says "1987 - Remaster" and three that say "Digitall Remastered" and two with no indication. Bobby Hutcherson's "Total Eclipse" has one track that says "1968 Version" whatever that means. All the others either don't have any extra notation on the track listings or don't have track listings. I don't know what to make of that but I suspect the majority of these if not all of them will feature older masterings.
