Rooster_Ties Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) I just discovered that Eric Dolphy's "Vintage Dolphy" on the GM label, aparently ISN'T just a bunch of repackaged tunes from elsewhere -- i.e. the suprerfluous compilation that I sure thought it was all these years. I'll have to track one down now, probably, one of these days. So what OTHER "damn that sure looks like a comp I really don't need" releases have I been oblivious to all these years? Especailly with unique material either not available anywhere else (or not on CD anyway). Actual compilations are OK -- as long as they're especially interesting, and if they include otherwise hard-to-find material. Here's the details on "Vintage Dolphy" (and the line-ups and provinance of each track is slightly clearer than on the back-cover image below, though neither one is 100% clear). Mods: Feel free to move this into a different forum (other than 'Discography'), if appropriate. https://www.discogs.com/Eric-Dolphy-Vintage-Dolphy/release/1482588 Edited February 4, 2019 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ayers Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Same content as the enja lp, which has a differently cropped version of the same photo on the cover. In the attic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to remember if I ever heard it... Yep. And by now I'm pretty sure there was only an Enja edition of the old version (CD and LP in the US), which did not include that piece. So there's only the second GM edition (depicted above) that has the full contents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 also more than meets the eye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted April 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) OK, this ISN'T a compilation -- but I only just realized today that these apparently AREN'T all the same release?? I kinda, sorta knew about the earlier 1983 Strata East version, but I thought it was actually the same thing as the 1986 one (which I have the Evidence release of). But "Such Great Friends" isn't the same as "Great Friends" -- who knew???? Is the earlier '83 Strata East date as good as it looks on paper? If so, then I gotta track this one down, sometime. Which is apparently entirely different than THIS (below, both of these are the same thing)... Edited April 12, 2019 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Admittedly just as an excuse to bump this thread for more input, here’s the entire Dolphy disc I mentioned in post #1... If you pop out to it on the YouTube page, all the tracks are individually delineated too, for easier access track by track... https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ckiyp5WLPZg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Martin Denny's Enchanted Isle (Liberty, 1980). The cover art, or what passes for cover art, makes it look like a budget compilation. It is actually a previously unreleased (save for one track) session from the early 1960s.
