medjuck Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I'm getting ads from this label on Facebook. Is there anything they've released that I should buy? Who are they and how good are their recordings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhatta Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Do you mean this folks? https://en.thelostrecordings.store/ I have the CD version of Live in Rotterdam 1967 / Thelonious Monk and was not bad. I'm not sure whether it's legally white / gray / black or whatever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) I have the Monk, Blakey, Dearie, Brubeck, Gillespie and Getz/Gilberto--the cd releases. . . I like them all. I personally believe these are legit. Devialet would be foolish to put themselves at such a risk, and I don't think they're fools. And Sony distributes them, again a legal risk I don't think they would take. Edited March 22, 2022 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) They seemed a little fishy to me, though I have acquired several of the CDs. Now that I have looked at the website, I think they are legit. There are so many European labels of shady backgrounds, but there have been plenty of "legit" US and European jazz labels that shafted artists on royalties.

hbbfam Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Has anyone purchased their HD downloads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Their vinyl is very expensive— they want $100 for the Blakey. Ultimately, I decided I didn’t need them or wish to spend the money on another concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 That's the way I feel about most modern vinyl reissues. I spend my money elsewhere. The Lost Recordings cds can be found reasonably priced, or at least I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a French enterprise, searching broadcast station vaults for unreleased tapes. https://en.thelostrecordings.store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 So how does this work legally - European copyright law, or did they clear everything with the Monk and Blakey estates for example, as well as Blue Note and Sony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
