Chuck Nessa

Wouldn't be too surprised to discover they are the same mastering.

Gives new meaning to the word "spunky".

Originally recorded for Warner Bros. but first issued by Albert Marx (on his Discovery label) around 1980.

Sadly, that disc was not complete. Lots of alternates would make a decent cd. Maybe the Japanese have done it right. I think there are a total of 14 masters.

The Collectables version had not been issued at the time.

The lp version of Inner Space was a 2 disc set and the Collectables disc duplicates it as I remember it. The premise of Inner Space was to reissue Tones + 2 unissued titles + 2 tracks issued under Hubert Laws' name. If you really want to be complete, hunt down the 2 Laws Atlantics.

His sound was as big as it sounds and his bearing was confident/majestic.

I would add the "Up Tight"/"Boss Soul" combo disc to Goldberg's favorites list.

Ha!

Best wishes Ed. Keep us posted.

Curious to see the new Uptowns.

Spotted Med Flory in the band too.

Another so soon? Seems like only yesterday. Happy Birthday!

Let the cats decide. They know more about the situation than we do.

did you win any prizes with your jams?

In another league, Cubs win 2.

thought this might be a sheep thread.

No mention of the Bob Thiele collection?

Must have been some divine purpose behind the early issues.

All this time and no mention of Big Eye!

What's the name of that tune?

I thought he was out of his league.

But I answered your question.

Pretty hard to beat the early Morton Victors with Mitchell, Dodds and Ory or the Wanderers/Bootblacks sessions with Mitchell, Ory, Dodds and Joe Clark. Morton should be credited for arranging his stuff and Lil Armstrong the the Wanderers/Bootblacks.
