Posted 6 Sep 2007 I remember a number of the Xanadu LPs that I obtained directly from Don Schlitten were very noisy, substandard pressings. Give me CDs any day over noisy or warped LPs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Sep 2007 The reason why Don himself didn't issue his albums on CD is that he detests CDs, at least that's what he told me and I recall detecting a measure of passion in his voice. But that doesn't explain why so many of these albums are available on eMusic. You would think that he would detest MP3s even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Mar 2009 Does anyone have a list of the various CD reissues? Particularly, I am interested in what has been reissued in Japan only, although I am also curious about the French reissues and the Prevue series (to the extent anything else appears other than what has already been posted on this thread). I had asked in the Warne Marsh thread whether the Hampton Hawes Memorial album appears on CD (other than the "Jazz Factory" reissue). Likewise, the "Wardell Gray Live" By the way, and someone on this board may have mentioned this someplace, but for those who want the "Inimitable" Teddy Edwards on Xanadu, it appears on the Duke Jordan/Cecil Payne CD reissued on the Prevue label.

Posted Monday at 10:04 PM Recently listening to Dolo Coker, California Hard, and reading all the bumf on the CD sleeve about digital remastering and wondering why there are pops and clicks throughout Frank Butler’s drum solo. Elemental music 2015. Hurricane Sandy referenced by Zev Feldman. Tapes destroyed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Tuesday at 7:00 AM a vinyl rip would be pretty odd given that there were various cd editions in the 80s and 90s... I have one of them - could say specifically where on the cd you hear pops and clicks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Tuesday at 9:57 PM Roots 4FB from around 9mins to 11 mins, for example. 9.55. Elemental 2015 edition. The sleeve notes refer to damage to the Xanadu tapes, related to Hurricane Sandy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sleeve notes refer to damage to the Xanadu tapes, related to Hurricane Sandy. I listened closely to my 1995 Xanadu reissue XCD 1229. I believe what you're hearing as "pops & clicks" is the sound of Butler's sticks occasionally hitting each other and sometimes the rim. There's a "woody" quality to the sound that makes me think it's not damage to the tape, but the result of how the drums are miked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted Tuesday at 10:56 PM I hear that but at 9.55 there is a v odd non drumsticks related sound. Perhaps I am just looking for an excuse to clear out my CDs. Any UK member wants this CD, let me know and I will send on free. Anthony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted Wednesday at 10:29 AM fwiw the artefact around 9:55 or 9:56 is also audible on my 1994 cd... https://www.discogs.com/Dolo-Coker-California-Hard/release/3574163 (but it's not for sale, at least not from me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
