king ubu Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I just wish they'd restore it to running a half step slow on the one side, too! Now that would be something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 There's probably some whack jobs out there who REFUSE to buy the corrected version. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 There's probably some whack jobs out there who REFUSE to buy the corrected version. Bertrand. That includes me probably. I'm waiting for them to discover, as in The Sleeper, that red meat, cigarettes, and the uncorrected Kind of Blue are all really *good* for you. As for the fake/modified covers, they are quite amusing in a way. Filling out some of the discs with much rarer tracks is ingenious, but, you know, who cares.

Ken Dryden Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I wonder if they used the original defective offspeed master for part of Kind of Blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different covers on classic jazz albums is a great British tradition, quaintly begun by Esquire in the fifties MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yeah, and all those London LPs... different covers is a long tradition anyway, but it used to be mostly (or muchly) legit stuff, distribution deals and stuff like that. Nowadays it's just crappy pirates... and some less crappy ones... after the demise of EMI, Concord, and Universal's lack of interest in reissuing a broader selection from their vaults, by now I'm mostly pro Fresh Sound and less anti-Lone Hill then I used to be... at least someone cares to release the music, after all! But there's not the slightest need for all these silly ones doing original albums with different packages, and mostly of stuff that has been in print forever!

How in the hell did that pic of Miles from the 70's get on the only (at one time) CD reissue of THE best-known jazz album of all time?? Unbelievable.

Yeah, and all those London LPs... They were fabulous pressings - heavy vinyl deep groove, usually way better sounding than the US originals. Not to be mentioned in the same breath as these Piratical operations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dova Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I orederd Don Ellis "New Ideas" and it showed up as a POLL Winners copy. I feel ripped off as theis is a co. from Spain. Has anybody else accidentally got a CD on the PW Label? Any thoughts. I'm probably going to send it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Well, buying such stuff it's good to look very closely ... if it was wrongly declared, I'd as for a full refund (including my shipping expenses) - if not, I'm not sure I'd even bother to return it (as shipping would probably cost me more than the money I'd get back).

David Ayers Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 What he said. There are so many of these PD versions around you always need to check. Caveat emptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybert Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I always check the label listed on Amazon now, same as i always check to see if it's a CDR. I actually think i have Thelonious Himself from this label... i think this label has been around for a few years (?). http://www.amazon.com/Thelonius-Himself-Portrait-An-Ermite/dp/B003097AYM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1382556204&sr=8-6&keywords=thelonious+himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 FWIW I compared the PW to the OJC on Spotify and the mastering sounds identical (at least in that limited medium) and the PW has an extra track, if that;s any consolation. Still it's annoying to always have to shop like a detective to avoid versions we don't want. At least somebody cares enough to keep issuing this stuff!

king ubu Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Well, when did he stop wearing suits in concerts? Late 60s surely, lost quintet time? Or even before that? He didn't do too many gigs in 1968, what was the wardrobe looking in 1967 - don't have the Bootleg Vol. 1 set at hand to check ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
