BFS Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Introducing Julius Watkins and Vol. 2 are combined on one Blue Note re-issue from 1998. The 9 tracks look like the two complete 10' releases from the 50's ? 1 Linda Della 2 Perpetuation 3 I Have Known 4 Leete 5 Garden Delights 6 Julie Ann 7 Sparkling Burgundy 8 B and B 9 Jordu Does anybody have this? Is it worth picking up? Does it contain all the tracks from the original two releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 This CD is very nice and not at all common. Don't miss it. Some excellent Mobe to boot. The Conn Cd was complete AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkertown Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 If you can do vinyl, Hiroshi Tanno lists a King pressing that includes both of these 10"Lps, probably fitting each one per side. (That'd be about 24 minute sides.) 2800 yen = $24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 The Conn CD as well as an earlier Japanese LP include both 10" LPs complete. Arguably the best Julius Watkins ever recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereojack Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I had always had mixed feelings about Julius Watkins until I first heard these sessions some years ago. It's great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.A.W. Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Arguably the best Julius Watkins ever recorded. I agree. He didn't make many recordings as a leader, and those two are the best Edited March 4, 2007 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
