We just watched part one of this four-part series. Great archival footage, with the actual participants telling the story. Refreshingly, there is no Sting, no Bono, no Bruce, no Elvis C. Let's hope the director manages to keep them out of the next three installments.
Yep, there's a lot of interesting 70's Muse albums I've never heard, as I couldn't take it all in fast enough in real time and they've never been reissued.
Yep. It was a fun time. There was an avalanche of reissues.
These days, I think the best we can hope for from Concord is occasional, potluck reissues -- and the possibility that one day they will actually make the music available on streaming platforms. If that happened, at least people would be able to hear the more obscure albums in their MASSIVE catalog without having to track down used vinyl.
And Fantasy, after miraculously releasing all those OJC's, was starting to do some very nice multi-disc sets with the catalogs just before the sold out to Concord. The Miles Quartet box, the three Trane boxes, the Evans VV set, the Monk/Trane 2 disc set, Red Garland, Sonny Stitt, etc. And the earlier Fantasy boxes of Miles, Trane, Sonny Rollins, Monk, Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans, Eric Dolphy, etc. were highlights of the early CD era.
