erwbol Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Getting the Japanese discs while they're available is probably the smart thing to do. It seems Verse's own re-issue program is going nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hope the Hank d'Amico CD from that reissue batch that I bought in the very first days of March from that Japanese eBay seller mildly recommended somewhere here will eventually show up ... Not that I would really expect to receive a reply to my mail written to inquire about the shipping status (I guess their item descriptions are pre-texted somewhere so do not necessairly reflect on their ad hoc knowledge of fluent English communication) but it's a bit discomforting to experience what other buyers leaving negative ratings have had to say about this non-communication - yet I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope I haven't been burnt ... in case this is the seller - http://www.ebay.com/usr/ftfym65 - that`s the one I just linked to Greg M.

romualdo Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I didn't realize until learning about this reissue series from this thread that Art Blakey's Big Band on Bethlehem even existed. I found Coltrane's The Bethlehem Years, which includes the Blakey date and Winner's Circle, for $5 at a shop today. Good score! Winner's Circle is one I like a lot. Indeed. I played Winners Circle last night (the previous mini lp series) - really a very nice record; as a consequence I preordered this 2cd Coltrane set to be released on the 12th of March '14 (of course I could have get just the Art Blakey Big Band released last year but it was not available from cdjapan, so... - I ll check the mastering differences of the Winners CD for the forum's benefit...) along with two more Bethlehem titles to be released that date (Stan Levey/Plays the compositions, and the Terry Pollard ones); a very productive ordering session last night thanks to this forum , with some tiltles from the Sony reissues (Garner Paris, Willen x 2 , Duke suites, Ornette, Woods x 2, Louis at Town Hall, Parker Birdland), Prestige 7000 (Sonny Criss Kaleidoscope, Teddy Charles collaboration West, James Moody x 3), Atlantic (Teddy Charles Bird). I just received the 2-cd japanese set of "John Coltrane - Turning Point - The Bethlehem Years" (CDSOL-6155, 12/03/2014). It includes 46 tracks and is an extended "Art Blakey Big Band" release: 3 x Midriff, 8 x Aint Life Grand, 2 x El Toro Valiente, 5 x The kiss of no return, 8 x The Outer World, 4 X Oasis, 7 x Tippin and 7 x Pristine. Actually all these tracks are from the "Art Blakey Big Band" Bethlehem LP, with "Late Date" missing from the 2-cd set. Do you happen to know the reason? Perhaps Coltrane does not play in this particular track? Also, none of the Winner's Circle LP tracks are included in the 2-Cd set. I like my recently acquired The Bethlehem Years and it drives part of me crazy to think that it now has been made obsolete by a more extensive reissue. However, another part of me thinks that 7 or 8 takes of the same tune may very well be too much of a good thing. note that this new double Bethlehem Coltrane/Blakey set (It's actually a reissue of an earlier TOCJ double called "The Outer World") does not contain the master takes of each title (that was on the Art Blakey Big Band Bethlehem LP) & yes, omits "Late Date" even though it contains 46 titles It's not a time/space issue as each CD only contains 54-55 mins of music - I'm wondering if the master takes were composites? - anyone who has the Wild "Coltrane reference" -> it's all there so keep your old US version of the double CD - this contains the master takes & the Coltrane inclusive titles from "Winners Circle" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erwbol Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) There is one Japanese seller on eBay whose prices are still reasonable, ftfym65. True. My experience with Maximum Rare Records of Japan (ftfym65), however, has been hit-or-miss. This seller doesn't necessarily have all the items he lists as in stock. He does have rare discs — no question there — but if you're ordering (buy-it-now) a disc that's, say, from two years ago — e-mail first to check that it's actually in stock. Just a heads-up for those posting here. I'm not discouraging shopping with Maximum Rare; I'm just trying to prevent some (potential) frustration for members here. I have purchased a few SHM-CDs from this seller without problem. Shipping is slow though. In contrast, the credit card purchase goes through right away. You're right about Maximum Rare Records Japan (ftfym65 on eBay). Over the last year they have become progressively slower to ship items bought on eBay. It can literally take them two weeks to dispatch an order. When I emailed them about this delay and explained the item was purchased as a birthday gift, they were friendly and promised to ship the next day which they did. Maddening. I'm waiting for another order to ship now. It will probably be my last with them. There was one occasion last year where they had completely forgotten about my order.

ArtSalt Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've had similar experience with ftfym65, rare discs that seem to be out of print, actually prove to be not available. I go to them only when I can't source through CD Japan, at one time I thought that might be two of the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romualdo Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 my friend in Japan came through & managed to source two of the bonus CDs (arrived today) - The AJQ Three Penny Opera & Tommy Watt Orchestra (with Tubby Hayes) An added bonus that they sent me is a booklet of the complete series (155 discs plus the 6 bonus ones) - a pic & description (in Japanese) of each release I'm so impressed with this series that I've been slowly buying lots of 10 from HMV Japan (have almost 130 of them) - currently landing them for approx $12 (Aus) - once the batch is more than a year old, HMV drop the price to 810Yen (multi buy special offer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm a big fan of this series too, don't have any bonus discs but I have all but about a dozen of the releases, those I had in other forms and didn't feel I needed to have the new ones as they aren't favorites. This is the best I've heard the Bethlehem catalog on cd, and I am really enjoying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Man Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I've been playing my Affinity CD containing both of Charlie Mariano's Bethlehem albums today and I wondered whether anyone can comment on the sound of the equivalent Japanese re-issues. The problem with my Affinity CD is that whilst Charlie is up front and very clear, his backing group is way back in the mix and sounds very muddy. The music on my CD was licensed from Charly Records so is hardly likely to be the highest of fi! Anyway, I'm not sure whether the two Charlie Mariano albums were part of the release programme earlier this year and the information on the two albums showing on Amazon at the moment states that one is a "Toshiba" release and the other is a "Japanese Import". Both albums are also available as "Solid/Bethlehem" releases at HMV Japan, but like someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, I too cannot work out how to place an order with them. So, how do they sound and which version should I go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xybert Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I recently picked up Mingus' A Modern Jazz Symposium. I already had an older version, and one of the tracks was plagued with digital glitches, as handily noted in the below Amazon review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1DCTWN3V008PF/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00B2KDD56&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=5174&store=music "This review concerns production defects in both the Shout! Factory (2005) and Avenue Jazz (2001) reissues of one of Charles Mingus' best recordings. I purchased the Shout! Factory reissue of "A Modern Jazz Symposium", hoping that the digital ticks on the previous issue of the CD (Avenue Jazz, ISBN: 0-8122-76678-2) had been corrected. They have not been fixed. Ticks can be heard on Track 4 ("Duke's Choice") at 2:29, 4:40, 5:40 and 5:42 on both the 2001 and 2005 releases of the CD. This means that Shout! Factory reused the same defective master that was released in 2001." It thought i'd take a chance on the 2013 reissue and was happy to find that it is glitch free. Worth noting!
