LF: TOCJ 5884


Late

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for the 1994 Japanese issue of Cecil Taylor's Jazz Advance, TOCJ 5884. If you have any leads, please PM!

I noticed that there are currently two copies at amazon.co.jp — I've never purchased from Amazon Japan, so thoughts/tips/advice in this regard are welcomed. Thanks!

I have ordered a few times from Amazon Japan and from third party sellers on Amazon Japan (note that most of them don't ship outside Japan) and I've never had any problems. Their shipping rates are pretty high, though not as steep has HMV Japan's.

Member "bluerein" offered me that disc a few years ago, at a pretty high price. I didn't take him up on his offer. No idea if he still has it. He can be contacted at info@jazzcenter.nl

I have both the domestic (U.S.) issue (1991) and TOCJ 9348, the latter of which isn't horrible, but halfway through you can begin to hear the "bell rattle" (a remastering artifact?) which plagued the initial reissues of The Soothsayer and Clubhouse.

I love this session, and am wanting to hear the first Japanese reissue. Apparently it's TOCJ 5888 and not 5884?

... good luck searching!

I was able to purchase this title from a board member. (Thanks!)

It sounds very good to me. More "mono" sounding than the other editions, and more natural (seemingly with less, or no, compression). It is, however, lacking the bonus track, so keeping TOCJ 9348 is imperative.
