Big Beat Steve Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hope you got the 2-LP set. Savoy released a CD version of this in the early 90s (same cover artwork'n all), and its contents were truncated compared to the original LP with a couple of tracks missing.

Ken Dryden Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Savoy screwed up several of the twofer LPs when reissued on CD, including the Don Byas, Red Norvo and many more. Chalk it up to cheapness and stupidity on the part of the company that owned the label at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just picked up the Vol 1 'Black California' in near mint, to add to Vol 2 ! The Savoy 2LP reissue series is the greatest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 LP sets of both Vols 1 and Vol 2- I wasn't aware these had been on CD at all. Like you can read above - forget them. They were released way after the vinyl twofers and really are a letdown because of their incompleteness, though you might be lured into thinking you get the real thing because they reproduce the LP cover artwork. Actually some of those 2-LP sets are among the VERY FEW LPs that I ever got myself a second (NM) copy of (when the occasion arose DIRT CHEAP in a secondhand record shop) because the original ones had been played so often that (though there still are no audible concerns) the scuffs get a bit more visible and the surface less glossy).
