CJ Shearn Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have a like new CD version of the set on the way to me as shamefully I've lacked most of his Atlantic recordings. I've heard of a few defects, should I be concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I don't think so. You're in for some great listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 This is the new budget version, right? Don't remember hearing about defects. Got one here but haven't opened it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 No, this is a like new copy of the 1995 set. I don't think so. You're in for some great listening. Looking forward to it, I've already offered my mini LP (US version) of Giant Steps and Coltrane's Sound to friends gratis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 No, this is a like new copy of the 1995 set. Cool! The new one is no frills, but at least it doesn't take up much space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have both the original CD box set and the vinyl version. This is important music in my listneing world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I did just open my copy of the budget box and it contains a very nice 74-page booklet. Never saw the booklet in the original set but this one is just fine - essays, lots of photos, discographical information. Pretty good actually.

jazzbo Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Sounds like the same booklet! Awesome value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Same as the Mingus then, which also holds the same (or nearly same) booklet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coooltrane Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 just curious. I checked amazon and didn't see a new version of this great set. I have the 95 box, which I still am enjoying 18 years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erwbol Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 The original edition also had a booming bass sound. I'm more excited about the Hybrid SACDs of Coltrane's Atlantic albums ORG Music Group is scheduled to release. Their SACDs of Rollins' The Bridge and Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come were fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Apparently Org Music has canceled all their upcoming releases. That seems to be the case, places that had them for preorder no longer do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erwbol Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Apparently Org Music has canceled all their upcoming releases. That seems to be the case, places that had them for preorder no longer do. That's a blow! Do you know which SACD titles were released before this cancellation? I believe My Favourite Things was released early on. Are their LP releases also cancelled? Edit: Just found your post on this matter on the Hoffman board, Lon. It's sad ORG decided to call it quits with the SACD format. Edited December 24, 2013 by erwbol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 might help to buy a boombox instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yes it is sad because the three I have (the Coltrane, Coleman and Rollins) are very very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 So, is the revised version of "Heavyweight Champion" also a remastered version? Or has the packaging just been slimmed down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 So, is the revised version of "Heavyweight Champion" also a remastered version? Or has the packaging just been slimmed down? Probably the latter. I have the earlier version; that one was mastered by Gene Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Berger Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 This is amazing music, except for the Don Cherry collaboration which is merely OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
