Yes, you're right, the Aaron Sachs on Rama (see below) was reissued by Fresh Sound.

This Aaron Sachs 10 inch on Bethlehem (see below) has not, to my knowledge, been reissued on CD.

It had been reissued on LP as half of this 12 inch:

The other half of "We Brought Our Axes" was originally on a 10 inch Hank D'Amico record (see below) and has recently been reissued in Japan.

Looks like mostly the same old stuff.

There are some interesting Bethlehem titles that never seem to get reissued, such as the Dick Wetmore, the Milt Hinton, the Sam Most and Aaron Sachs albums, and the two albums by the Six to name a few, although it's possible that Fresh Sound may have covered some of these.

The Hank D'Amico on Bethlehem seems to be out at last in Japan.

Some of the listed titles look like they may be downloads only.

Aaron gave me a burned copy of the Bethlehem LP he made with Jimmy Raney and Hall Overton, so Fresh Sound probably put that one out.

That sounds like the LP on the RAMA label ("Clarinet & Co."), not the Bethlehem LP which had Urbie Green, Danny Bank, Barry Galbraith, Clyde Lombardi and Osie Johnson.

And yes - the RAMA LP was reissued by Fresh sound both on vinyl and CD.

Otherwise, I agree with jazztrsin. Lots of obvious items there that have already been reissued a couple of times whereas others seem to be overlooked constantly.

'BCP 6069: Eddie Davis – “The Best of Eddie Lockjaw Davis” (CD & 12”)'

Does anyone know what this is? The Bethlehem discography at the JDP only lists 2 tracks from 1958 (though Lord has them as 1957) on this LP.

Is the rest some of his King material? If so, who knows what?

I haven't found a full list of those reissued in Japan, but Dusty Groove lists nearly six dozen.

Allen, all I have seen of the Lockjaw disc is that it has both Bagby ad Scott on organ (not together). I should receive that in a few days, I'll post some info here.

Oh, I see. There were two LPs numbered BCP6035:

Various - 15 star saxophones

Jaws & Shirley - Eddie's function

The Jaws & Shirley LP 6035 was a reissue of BCP6069. (Eh?)

Well, it has 6 tracks from a Feb '56 2 day trio session with Doc Bagby & Charlie Rice and 7 from sessions between July '56 and June '57 (or '58) with Shirley Scott instead of Doc.

I really want all of the King material, but I suppose this'll have to do, if there's no other CDs around to cover the lot.

Just to follow up on this, these CDs have the catalogue number beginning CDSOL. You can see what's in print at this link: http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/search/music/advanced_1/category_1/catnum_cdsol/formattype_1/genre_VARIOUS_800/sort_datedesc/

I should say there's no 'clean' way to search for these titles on that site as there are a lot of CDSOL releases.

This search cuts it another way http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/search/advanced_1/category_1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C7%2C9%2C10%2C23%2C24/formattype_1/labelcode_SBEHE/sort_datedesc/

Amazon UK is currently offering a 3-CD set called Love Me or Leave Me: The Bethlehem Records Story.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Me-Leave-Bethlehem-1958-1962/dp/B00E7QTRWK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=15OXMQC9Z0YS9&coliid=I2DTBZSXR6XZUS

Its price is only 6.99 GBP. Do you think that it is a public domain "bootleg" or a legit promotional compilation?

As I recall, when Bethlehem reissues came out in the late '70's, they were owned by Salsoul.

Sorta, but not exactly..."International Jazz Emporium - Bethlehem Records - Distibuted by Caytronics - A Cayre Industries Company"...which was the Cayre Brothers who did found Salsoul, but who had already been involved in the record business prior to so doing.

That "International Jazz Emporium" is what stands out to me...what kind of a shell was that?

I just got the Japanese release of This Time The Drum's On Me. The disc states "All tracks licensed courtesy of VMG Salsoul LLC, a Division of Verse Music Group."
