Here's a good place to start - reptet

Now where's the finger!

Please show this ignorant fellow how this can be done. The way Uptown tried (for the Mingus cd) was a series of "legal" letters from lawyers to retail establishments and the "distributors" we could track down. The legal costs were about equal to the "profit" one would expect from a very"successful" historical release. Maybe we should just let the US justice dept know someone is sending in cds we don't want here 'cause of unfair competition. Then they'd protect us. Right? I guarantee Uptown spent more money trying to protect their work/investment on the Mingus project than Jazz Factory spent on their entire product. Get a grip and show me the way to go home. Do you have any idea how many worthwhile projects are "on hold" because of this crap?

I read it that way as well. I suggest a post was deleted and replaced, thus no edit listed.

Andy and the Bey Sisters recorded for Fontana in Paris on April 15, 1959. Clarke played on that date as did Kenny Dorham and Barney Wilen. I'd guess the Metropole date was done around the same time.

But, is there an infrastructure for enforcement and collection?

I always had the suspicion Disconforme used the Andorran address to avoid music publishing fees. Does anyone have real information on the term of "written" copyrights in Andorra?

You forget about the record company exemption.

The Trip lp was original to them as were a couple others - Blakey for one. FWIW, Randy does not care for Blue Moses - he doesn't think of it a "his" record. I think he felt overpowered by the Taylor/Sebesky combine.

The title of the topic scared the crap outta me. After my blood pressure went down I went looking for a good deal.

If the "sound difference" isn't major for you I suggest you decide from a "programming" perspective. Most of the McMasters insert the alt. tracks next to the masters while the RVGs put them at the end. Then dump one and keep the wife.

As I scrolled the topic and saw this image I thought of Herbert Lom. Anyone else make this connection?

Same outfit.

Why aren't there any Blue Note recordings in the set?

Fischer on Philips.

Who you callin' John?

In reality, it should be ok.

and use a straw. And drive a car. And say goodnight Gracie.

Sure, go ahead.

All Impulse monos from Van Gelder's studio are "fold downs" from the stereo tape (just as BNs of that era were) so I'd say you be "mis-hearing".

Andrew Hill deserves some consideration.

I'm going to confuse things further by suggesting "A Ghetto Lullaby" and the two with Dexter. I'd suggest hearing a bit of "Dr Jackle" and "Tune Up" before buying - the sound is a bit rough, but the playing is fine indeed.
