I wonder how many tapes made at Van Gelder's had backup copies. Didn't impulse! have a fire at some point?

I'm in for all Classic Quartet and late sextet recordings. I'd love to hear this: Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, March 29, 1967 90784 Number Eight Impulse! lost 90785 Number Seven - 90786 Number Six - 90787 Number Five - 90788 Number Four - 90789 Number Two

The "Just Coolin'" release is the one that really bugs me too. This session was widely distributed through back channels for years & years... decades even. I don't think I knew of any Blakey fan who didn't have it. I even had someone send Michael Cuscuna his "mastering" take on an CD sequence but Michael wouldn't budge that it was not worthy of being released. Michael often talked to the artists about sessions like this and for all we know, Blakey himself might not have wanted that session released. I know that Donald Byrd specifically did not want those Montreux recordings released, but we see what artists' desires mean to today's Blue Note reissue team.

Will read this again when I get around to it, so thanks for the link. But in THIS thread I would not want to go too far into BN territory. The "Prestige/Milestone" twofer experience is a case of its own!

Craft just reissued Amazonas, one the best Tjader Lps from the 1970's. Of course they reprinted the original back cover with all the errors Duncan and me corrected in the Tjader bio and disco. Sometimes I ask myself who we are working for.

Could you translate this for me please? Thanks

What do you thinl the record Compagnie will throw upon us next year? And what would you really want?

David Bowie’s final work. . . pretty fascinating. Too compressed in mastering, but if I adjust my gain structure down it sounds better. David Bowie “Black Star” Sony Blu-Spec cd

Yes! Some of the twofer liner noten were full of variable insights. The noten Jon Hendricks wrote for the King Pleasure twofer are a gem of Jazz prose. The book that Orrin Keepnews published includes many of his Milestone twofer noten.

👍

Time for a listen to this beautiful album. I love late Jobim. A family of musicians playing lovely music they love. Antonio Carlos Jobim “Passarim” Verve Japan cd

Dan Barrett “Melody in Swing” on Arbor Jazz. Barrett is an amazing trombone player, one of the few modern men who mastered Jack Teagarden’s water glass as a trombone bell method. 200×200 8.83 KB

Which reissue series would this have been? I do not own all that many OJC CDs but those I have include the original liner notes, as do the OJC (and similar, somewhat earlier) LP facsimile reissues reproducing the original cover artwork and layout. OTOH, that crop of Don Schlitten-produced Prestige/New Jazz reissues from the 60s/early 70s featured updated, insightful liner notes from (what I have seen at a quick glance at my LPs) the likes of Mark Gardner, Martin Williams, Chris Albertson, Doug Ramsey, Dan Morgenstern a.o. Not a bad selection of writers IMO. But I think you are right about not knowing (initially!) what you got when looking at the exterior of the Prestige twofers. For example, a photo of Miles Davis from (more or less) the "Electric Miles" period on the cover when 1956 classic quintet sessions are inside can only be attributed to the tastes and expectations of the average jazz buyers of the early 70s. But the insides of those twofers tell it all - so no doubt about what the buyer gets. And after all, this out-of-tune cover artwork problem was one that occurred with most reissue labels of the 70s (and often later as well). Good idea!
