felser Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 What is the price? That is an interesting period of his recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Clifford mentioned $49.99 Hopefully that's the case. I frankly see nothing to warrant anything beyond that. At first, I found the language unclear and thought this was a 2xLP + 4xCD thing, but it's just 4 CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Train Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) The thing I find interesting is that it includes Black Magic Man....ironic that it's the very first Hat Hut recording not reissued by Hat Hat....and says a lot about Hat Hut's problems.

colinmce Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 No, Corbett vs. Dempsey also did Glasses and Variations on a Blue Line/'Round Midnight a couple years back. They said they would do more (including Phillip Wilson's Esoteric) and I hope that they do. But yeah, Hat's not looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romualdo Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Very Nice not listed on Dusty Groove yet (best place to get the Corbett vs Dempsey releases) Looks like it will supersede the 1999 Atavistic single CD release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had access to the original vinyl and made copies. Now, I will have to order them as well. It's like when Atvastic started reissuing FMP releases before FMP imploded, or whatever the real story about what happened. not listed on Dusty Groove yet (best place to get the Corbett vs Dempsey releases) You mean beside directly from C vs D? .

king ubu Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 How could they get alternate takes by doing needle drop? Just edit out a few seconds here and there and call it "alternate"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Train Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) How could they get alternate takes by doing needle drop? Just edit out a few seconds here and there and call it "alternate"? Yeah, I thought about that...but something just doesn't sound right. There are tapes for the very first Hat Hut....but not the other two later ones they had to needle drop on? Uehlinger doesn't come across as someone who would throw out the original tapes....especially anything by McPhee. The whole thing started to record McPhee. It's like Chuck throwing out AACM related tapes, or any tapes. Edited October 29, 2013 by Blue Train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefromtheforest Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'll probably end up buying this even though "nation time" doesn't impress me as much as "the willisau concert" or the "po music" records from the late 70s/early 80s. I'm a sucker for lavish box sets that I usually never get the time to listen to completely ;/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uehlinger and Hat didn't come into the picture until a little later. Yes I know, but we're talking about Hat Hut recordings and not the CJR. Even the CJR reissues by Avatastic were not needle drops. P.S. Keep in mind; I haven't heard C vs D's reissues of Glasses and Variations on a Blue Line/'Round Midnight to confirm they were needle drops.

Uehlinger doesn't come across as someone who would throw out the original tapes....especially anything by McPhee. The whole thing started to record McPhee. It's like Chuck throwing out AACM related tapes, or any tapes. I wouldn't know if the tapes stood with Uehlinger or went with McPhee. Remember Uehlinger was a newbie then, he actually just made this McPhee record, then another one, and one more ... and eventually started his label, while still working a day job (which had initially led to his travels and the chance to meet McPhee in the first place). So it's not like he was this exacting record label guy from the git go, rather to me his story sounds like fortuna was in place, too. But why don't anyone send a mail to C vs D and inqire?

mjazzg Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Response from C vs D "Nation Time and Black Magic Man are mastered from tape. We returned to the original source tapes to remaster Black Magic Man; Nation Time is the same mix and master as the Unheard Music Series reissue" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
