mjzee Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Amazon UK carries both 8-CD Art Tatum Complete Masterpieces sets (2010 reprints, European, possibly Italian) for just over £18 each. Solo / Groups F The "Groups" is a wonderful box; highly recommended. It's surprising to hear how Tatum blossomed in a band - he's good with a drummer kicking him, and he's a surprisingly good supporting pianist. The solo box I find kinda draggy, and think there's better Tatum out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigshot Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Those Quincy Jones boxes are available at Amazon US through third party for $9 each. Pretty good deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Curious mjzee at to what the better solo Tatum records are in your opinion. I think solo Tatum at his best was when he was lively and astonishing, often in front of a small audience. The Pablo material (recorded towards the end of his career) is slower and more maudlin. Of the good solo Tatum, unfortunately many of the surviving air checks and such have fairly bad audio quality, which in these cases do get in the way of listening pleasure. I'd characterize much of the Storyville box this way. So we're talking about the combination of virtuosity, enjoyable performances, and listening pleasure. I'd start here: Originally 3 LPs, recorded at someone's house in front of a lively, appreciative crowd. This is the other one that comes to mind: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Man Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) This one looks like a bargain to me.... released on Monday.

crisp Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yeah, I've not been into soul before but I spent some time listening to music from this set on Spotify last night and enjoyed it. I think I'm going to get this one. Another bargain: The Byrds album collection about £26 on Amazon UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yeah, I've not been into soul before but I spent some time listening to music from this set on Spotify last night Great idea ! I'm interested in this set myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Might be a bit cheaper from amazon.fr by now ... not sure I need this, will have to take a closer look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 No, €40. That £28 must have been a misprice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to get this one. Not sure I'm into this stuff either, looks like more disco than soul from what I remembered from the first boxes anyway do you another place to listen to this stuff besides Spotify it ain't available here (Spotify not the boxes ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 No, €40. That £28 must have been a misprice. I know, but depending on where you live and the consecutive shipping costs ... also xe converter tells me 40€ is about 33£ - so definitely cheaper.

Hope you didnt sleep on it like I did! Sadly.... yes I did. Ah well, it'll be back (he says hopefully). I did have a look on Spotify and couldn't find it but did enjoy catching up on some MFSB and Jones Girls disco stuff for old times sake !

crisp Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 The actual box isn't on Spotify but many of the albums are. That's what I listened to. I don't know of any other free streaming sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 The Beach Boys six-discer Made In California is about £32 from two Amazon Marketplace sellers, one US, one UK, here.

Van Basten II Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Not sure if that's a bargain or an overpriced collection of material slowly getting out of copyright "prison " , looks interesting, anybody can share more light on this set, details are sketchy at best http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IY28XK0/ref=pe_208681_48552121_em_1p_0_ti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the set will be interesting listening and broad in scope (120 different artists for the 269 cuts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
