Really enjoying this archival release.

I’m waiting for them to appear on Spotify. I want to listen first before buying. I’ve never liked the way Resonance and Elemtal issue vinyl so it’s cd for me too.

Yeah and it might also be an indicator there isn’t much more left on the shelves I guess?

32 Jazz CD reissue Original LP cover:

I reached out to the person at McFarland who overseas the final stages of publishing titles and this is the reply I received today: "The book is in the final stages. We expect it to go to the printer next week with publication likely in early May." My thanks to all on the list who have pre-ordered my book. Jim

It sounds like this is the equivalent of the many live from the last row bootleg LPs of the seventies of supergroups.

Billy Ver Planck “Dancing Jazz” Savoy cd Oh so tight and polite.

And another here.

And consider that, with this being the introduction to the series, the remainder may sound even worse.

Mozart - String Quartets K.464 and K.465 - Mozarteum Saltzburg

Id probably get it for I am a Coltrane completist. And will listen trough the material but if its that bad I’d doubt it comes of the shelves a lot. Definitely go for the cd version.

Never.

But not on Fridays.

ha, good to know...

yeah, I'm okay with owning the other Elemental/Resonance releases on CD.

Anyone bought the Mark Murphy? I'm tempted but would love a steer on the sound quality

And let's face it Nat is a pretty good authority. Convinced me not to go anywhere near it

Don't go higher bitrate CBR. Instead, switch to Q0 (highest quality) VBR. Same sound quality as 320 CBR but with smaller files... not that storage is an issue anymore... but it might be in your car on a thumbdrive.
