Posted 23 Mar 2021 Just got an e-mail that the Teddy Wilson set is on last chance. The Lester Young/Count Basie set made a come back just as the Woody Herman Decca, Mars, MGM set. These come backs are usualy short lived. If you don't have them it's time to pull the trigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 23 Mar 2021 I have no problem with the alternate takes, but there seems to be a lot of vocals which give me pause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC (and I often don't) Brunswick was a subsidiary of Columbia, though maybe it was a subsidiary of Decca.

And (I think) the Charlie Christian twofer Lp. I don 't have a turntable but I kept that just because I like the look of it. ( I also like the extended versions of songs that our Chris Albertson created by combining the solos from different takes-- though I managed to digitize them so that I'm really just keeping the album for the cover. ) Edited 23 Mar 2021 by medjuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, it's John Berg, who did all of the Miles 80s albums too. Some nice work in this guy's portfolio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bought by Warner Brothers to press records for their talking movies system that din’t make it. They leased the labels to ARC (Columbia/Okeh now Sony under the provision that a minimum number of records be sold. In 1940 they failed and the labels returned to WB who then sold them to Decca (now Universal) Decca also bought the pre late 1930 recordings. The recordings made by ARC stayed with ARC. The Columbia and Okeh label made a come back at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Columbia did that as well as, if not better than, anyone else, but the volume is low as a result. Just turn it up, no biggie. This twofer was U.S. Columbia CG 31617. I got it not too long ago from Dusty Groove for a good price. If you're shopping, be aware that there is a different Chiaroscuro date with the same title. 3 minutes ago, miles65 said: Brunswick/Vocalion was an independent record company until end 1930.

I've often wondered whether the Weather Report albums released on ARC/Columbia had anything to do with the earlier ARC: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
