JSngry Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I see a few Ellington (and other) things that look, shall we say, interesting. But is this total POS bootleg, or is there at least a little love in there? Nothing I see has been grey-marketed before to my knowledge, so is this just rips of torrents, or, again, is there a little love in there? And what's up with that (those?) live Wild Bill Davis side(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I've noticed some Ellington on this label that tempts me, but I have the same qualms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Dunno, and the intertubes are singularly unhelpful here thus far. But just searching "Squatty Roo Records" on Google did turn up this pretty cool thing... http://entertainment.ha.com/itm/music-memorabilia/memorabilia/duke-ellington-squat-squatty-roo-handwritten-score-for-the-true-jazz-fan-few-vintage-documents-would-make-a-more-spect-total-1-item-/a/648-23022.s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Brown Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I have three of the Ellingtons. They're pretty amateurish productions and they're CDRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 And what's up with that (those?) live Wild Bill Davis side(s)? Just had a look at Squatty Roo records but couldn't find any Wild Bill Davis. Could you provide a link to where you saw them, Jim?

JSngry Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 http://wwX.emusic.cXm/browse/album/all/label:1042149/?sort=downloads Please keep in mind that the above is NOT an exact link to the site, as that would be against board policy. So, just...you know, improvise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopkins Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I am looking for the CD "Duke Ellington’s Sound Of Space" which is a bootleg of a Sun Ra concert https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/6825693?ev=rb If anyone here has it and may be willing to sell it (or a copy - it's a bootleg, after all...) please PM me.

Ken Dryden Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Squatty Roo is a piece of shit bootlegger recycling a lot of old audience recordings. I made the mistake of buying 2 or 3 of the LPs years ago, issued in cheaply produced jackets by The Old Masters, two of which had some of the last live recordings of Johnny Hodges with Duke Ellington (Duke Ellington Opens The Cave). The graphics and paper quality of Squatty Roo CDs look like the cheapskate owner printed them on his home printer. Don’t waste your money.

hopkins Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Thanks. Had not seen that the tracks are available in this video, so that will satisfy my curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
