GA Russell Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've ordered this 2-CD Sauter-Finnegan set called Inside the Sound, now going for $9.99. http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Sound-ORIGINAL-RECORDINGS-REMASTERED/dp/B000X1L85C?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ7T5BOVUVRD2EFYQ&tag=camels-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B000X1L85C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted O'Reilly Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 It's interesting to note that the Ellington title in the "Original Masters" release was a new or different mastering than US issues of the material. Sounded good. I've never heard the Fats Waller entry, being so happy with the US box set, and having all the JSP sets, and . . . well I've a lot of Thomas Waller. I'm with you... I liked the Ellington set, and the Waller is the same as the US set offered by Popmarket. No missing tracks -- both have 66 sides. When I put the Euro set in my computer, the album cover that shows up is the US long box cover. As to "complete" sets, I have the JSP sets, and am happy with them. And did RCA ever finish their "complete" series? Am I misremembering, or did it poop out, undone after being 3/4ths finished? Or was it simply years before they finally polished it off?

Fer Urbina Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) The EU set has the same titles as the US, except one (can't remember which). ... the Waller is the same as the US set offered by Popmarket.

It didn't get to the end of the series on vinyl. But RCA France had a compete set on vinyl. I remember oogling it at the record store back before CDs.

That's a good price. Amazon US doesn't carry it, and Amazon UK has it for £40.99 (= $64.06 US). I snagged a copy. FYI, they're charging $7.20 shipping.

medjuck Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 JSP apparently does both: commission new transfers, and "lift" existing transfers. As far as solid proof for the latter, I believe that the Charlie Patton material was "proven" to be a lift from Revenant and some compensation ordered in court. I've sets from them that are explicitly labeled as remastered either by Davies or his protege Kendall. I've heard a few others. . . wasn't that impressed. But I thought the JSP Patton was supposed to sound better. (Can't remember where I read this.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JSP is said to be a copy of the Revenant box and/or the initial Yazoo CDs. Most seem to think that the best sound is on the two most recent Yazoo CDs. http://blindman.15.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=41570&hl=patton Edited March 26, 2012 by kh1958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.D. Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Dunno whether this qualifies as a bargain (4 CDs / $31.82 / FS @ Amazon, lower base price at Jazz Loft), but looks pretty good to me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, to be drama with it, INTENSE!!! Either way, but with confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm one of those dinosaurs who doesn't yet do the mp3 thing, for various reasons. Another interesting box, though it's not my cup of tea (I'd like some of the constituent discs, but the whole package is too much): Same proviso re. mp3...
