Late Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Five new SHM-CDs. None of these titles, to the best of my recollection, have been reissued as SHM-CDs in Japan. I'm especially excited about Hub-Cap and Blue Spirits. The latter will have seven tracks, which means it will include the fabulous "Melting Pot" track, not found on the TOCJ Blue Note Works issue. Hubbard, Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, Reggie Workman, and Elvin Jones. (And the stealth sixth man Hosea Taylor on alto saxophone, though only in ensemble.) I hope these SHM-CDs sound as good as the 75th anniversary titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Any other non-Hubbard titles coming out around that same time? In other words, what else is in the pipeline? Especially interested in any titles that have any previously unreleased material (like "Out To Lunch" and "Unity" had, among others).

Late Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Bummer! These are RVG remasters. Just cancelled my order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you click on one of the titles and then scroll down to the song tracks, it will say (for example) "Remastered/2003 Rudy Van Gelder Edition." Goin' Up and the live disc are exceptions, however.

jazzbo Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Okay, thanks. Weird, as when they were reissuing RVGs as SHM-CD they clearly stated that everywhere else. The live disc of course never was an RVG Edition. I'm going to keep my order in place. . . I don't mind the RVGs of these to be honest. We'll see what I get.

Gheorghe Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I have them both but bought the Mini-Lp-format Japanese BN, many years ago. Wonderful albums like all of Freddie´s albums..... I noticed that Blue Spirits as a very very strange amplified sound of the bass. It sounds almost like a boosting synti bass. But still enjoyful to hear, even if I doubt it was the original sound. Strange thing on two of those reissues then. Two of them have that strange bass sound: Blue Spirits, and Dizzy Reece "Sounding off" . I haven´t noticed that on other items and I have dozens of them...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 That's disappointing. I really wanted Ready for Freddie. On the other hand, I just found a near mint copy of the mono Platinum SHM-CD of Blue Train for $19.95 on Discogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now CD Japan has pulled the RVG description from the song titles. Never seen that happen before. Maybe these aren't RVGs ... ? I'd have to re-order if that's the case.

jazzbo Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 I received them. Except for Goin' Up and the live date the Hubbards ARE RVG versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for letting us know! I wonder who remastered Goin' Up. McMaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'm not sure. It sounds a lot like the 75th Anniversary 24 bit Japanese engineered remasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
