It just didn't seem right to me to buy an SACD that matched the LP version now that all of this material has been released on a single CD several times. Any digital reissue of this music should include all of that material or it's just applying LP's time limitations for no reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 13 May Getting my daily fix of the wonderful Carmen McRae: Here to Stay (Decca/GRP) Compiles 2 LPs: By Special Request (Decca, 1956) and Something to Swing About (Kapp, 1960) For some reason, they didn't include one cut from each of the LPs on the CD -- even though there's plenty of room. Don't you hate it when they do that?!?! Oh well. The completist in me doesn't like it, but whatcha gonna do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 13 May Depends on who you ask, but it seems to fall under some variant on the Motherfucker Let It All Go To An Already Big Head And Then That Head Finally Just Went And Blew Up And Made A Mess Like This theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 13 May I have the complete sessions too, on cd. But I prefer to listen to this originally released version. And the SACD sounds really really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can dig that, for sure. Sometimes, the original release sounds exactly right. No amount of "enhancement" -- extra cuts, alt takes, etc. -- makes it better. In those cases, it's best not to futz with it. Just leave it alone. Back to this jazz vocals masterpiece: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 14 May (edited) Excellent 4CD set brought out back in the day by Fantasy. Covers the whole gamut from Lighthouse All Stars to Woody Shaw. Nice booklet with session photos and memories of John Koenig too. Superb sound on this set too but no surprise given the source of the recordings.

Nearly forgot about it, time to dig it out ! When Fantasy had their big disposal these sets could be had at bargain prices. I think I paid £10 for the first at FOPP and about the same for the second. Awesome bang for the buck. Interesting to read about Koenig/DuNann’s Telefunken/AKG mikes and all-valve input streams and Westrex cutters with minimal complexity in the input signal processing. They got that absolutely right ! Edited 14 May by sidewinder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
