All my interest in early stuff is now focused on the Jazz Oracle JRM release. Nice price from Amazon but I have to wait for the "official release date" in October. Thought of buying it from Worlds Records (they claim to have it now) but the price/shipping combo put me out of the box. I think the retail music business is cutting their own throats. BTW, the Jazz Oracle site doesn't even mention this issue - all their time is spent touting the Red Nichols box sets.
May 16, 1975 - In Walked Sonny on Sonet. Sonny Stitt with the Jazz Messengers. This edition of the Messengers is Bill Hardman, Dave Schnitter, Walter Davis Jr, Chin Suzuki and Bu.
Same thing with my copy.
Has this ever been on cd on its own? To check the distortion I popped a cdr I'd made from my copy into the computer and the song titles came up.
I bought about 25-30 individual discs from the previous complete set. The earlier set included the EMI recordings and I bet they are missing from the new box.
I know it was common practice in the 30s and 40s for the band leader to get writing credits when they had nothing to do with the composing of a song, 'Round Midnight is one such case. Wouldn't Hank Jones have copy-written the tune? I wonder how Nat thought he could get away with this.
Nat would not have known Hank wrote the tune - he was just laying claim to an "unknown".
My front is the same as Paul's and the back is the esp catalog in grid form - you must have seen some like it and the far right column is a listing of players and credits as in your scan.
He's at least a snob. I have used it for a few years and love it. Someone misunderstands how this works. It is not direct from the turntable - connect it to the out terminals of your amp. I really don't think he investigated the product.
If you want an example, I can send one.
