Before OJCs go away


Chuck Nessa

Recommended Posts

Well, we don't know what will happen with Concord in charge, but it's certain that OJCs will be more expensive than the current 5.85€ sale.

But the number of titles at jazzshop24.de is quite limited compared to the complete Fantasy catalogue, and some CDs (the "limited edition" series) are 9.85€

Just in case you're not aware of it, that Farmer CD has some labeling (track sequence) errors. At least I assume it still does... I alerted them back in 1996, and I don't think they ever fixed it.

Here's the label from mine:

What should it be?

If the cd is programmed like the lp, Autumn Nocturne should be number 1 and the rest bumped down.

Apparently not, Chuck. Here's the actual running order on the CD:

1. Confab in tempo

2. I'll take romance

3. Wisteria

4. Autumn nocturne

5. Soft shoe

6. I've never been in love before

7. I'll walk alone

8. Gone with the wind

9. Alone together

10. Pre amp

Edit: BTW, if anybody who has bought this more recently than I (Fantasy sent me what was supposed to have been a corrected version in 1998, so it's been awhile) has a disc that doesn't correspond to the above list, then maybe they've fixed it...

I received the same catalogue. It should be noted that it is a sale catalogue listing CDs for one to four dollars off, with another 10% off if you order via the internet. It's not a complete list of their current ctalogue.

Did you folks ask for that recently? Via e-mail? I was on their mailing list for decades, but I don't get any mailings from them anymore (and they haven't answered any of my e-mail attempts over the last couple of years).

Jim, I didn't ask for mine, and I got two copies!

I was going to include my extra copy in my Grey Cup contest prize, but nobody cared about winning a free CD!

Thanks GA. It's actually been years since they sent me anything. Not sure why, unless it was because I was spending thousands of dollars on their CD's in stores instead of ordering from the company.

BTW, regarding this track listing mess on "Early Art", I forgot to mention that the track timings on the CD booklet (and on the tray card as scanned above) are wrong. In case it helps anybody in sorting it all out (and in case I made an error regarding the Farmer compositions that I was otherwise unable to cross-check), here are the run times on my CD:

1. 3:58

2. 5:01

3. 4:35

4. 4:08

5. 5:03

6. 3:52

7. 3:59

8. 4:13

9. 4:00

10. 3:36

Guy, tell us what you got!

Sigh... I'm still pissed off at myself about this binge. I tried to be picky too... and didn't even touch the Coleman Hawkins catalogue... :( Also tried to avoid stuff that's received 20K remasters since I figure those are popular enough to stay in the catalogue. If some of those Art Peppers I want go OOP I'll go postal.

Exactly. Everything still seems available at the Concord website so it doesn't look as if anything's been deleted... yet.

That's good to hear. Doesn't Concord tend to keep most of their own discs in print?

Regardless, I'll probably pick up the rest of those Yusef Lateef and Booker Ervin discs this weekend - I only have three of each from the Fantasy catalog.

I can't tell you all how angry I am at myself for not just downloading the whole catalog back in the unlimited days of emusic...
