This does not include "Greatest Hits" or "Best Of" albums which of course duplicated tracks from regular albums.

The original LPs are featured two per CD in chronological order. Produced by Bob Fisher whose detailed essay covers the entire history of Mose Allison's career with quotes and endorsements from artists like Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Pete Townshend, Georgie Fame, Van Morrison and many others who were inspired by his music.

Designed by Michael Robson and mastered by Simon Murphy this is the definitive collection of this period of Mose Allison's career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 This is welcome news! I was just wondering the other day about how to procure all of Allison's Atlantics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are always much better pricewise than Amazon on anything from the Cherry Red family of labels (which this release is). Everything on those labels is usually beautifully executed and incredibly reasonably priced. And they are all fully licensed, no PD worries.

I've bought many hundreds of CD's from them and have been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) I have only one of the Prestige albums, and not a single one of the Atlantic or Elektra albums, so this is welcome. Offered for 47 € over here. The Prestiges are all on this great Fresh Sound set: Then there was an excellent sounding 3 CD set with the Columbias (which I have): ... then follow the Atlantics. Time to complete my man Mose. Edited June 7, 2021 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) I pre-ordred a copy, along with the Prestige box from Fresh Sound. The latter is oop at the label, but JPC got me one from the German distributor. I feel lucky. Listening to the Hi Jinks Columbia box right now. Mose was a groovy musician.

mikeweil Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) The new box set is already out of stock! I had pre-ordered but JPC obviously didn't get a single copy of that set. Sold out with pre-orders, it seems. I hope they make another batch. https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/mose-allison-the-complete-atlantic-elektra-albums-1962-1983-6cd-box-set/ Edited July 31, 2021 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
