Seriously? What was your connection to the folks at Steeplechase that they were soliciting suggestions for the title? I set up and operated the US offices of SteepleChase around 1980. Welcome to the world of the jazz record biz. OK. But Something Different was recorded/released in 1975. I guess it took a while before you got the go ahead to set up the US office. It was not released in 1975. Where the farque do you get this info? It, like other SCS Dexter masters were held back to cash in on the Columbia promotions. Duh! Edit to add that in Denmark (at least at the time) the musicians didn't need to get paid until the date was issued. Nils used this to his advantage and regularly recorded multiple dates with musicians at a time and paid later. Not saying that was "bad", just the way it was.

You should buy it but understand they don't necessarily perform together.

Crown, aka Modern. aka Kent, aka Bihari brothers licensed stuff from Fantasy and other West Coast labels. Nothing bought, just a license for a limited period of time.

Got 'em all. AND I felt good when I saw "Something Different" mentioned since I chose the title for that recording.

I had the mono lp originally. That went to pay for the AE set. The McMaster is more than interesting (not useless) but would love an RVG reissue. So much negativity about "mastering", so little discussion about the music.

I prefer the SteepleChases to the Premonitions (as a group). No electric piano.

Guess that's the price you pay for being an "individual".

Those would be my choices too.

Rick used to post here too. Say goodnight Gracie.

Wrong record.

No way to reflect category "drift". I have joined a new grouping since the poll started.

Looks like more Schaap crap. My original (Columbia CL 1445, mono, 6 eye) plays the same as the "master" on the current cd.

Very sad news. She was a lovely lady. My prayers for Sam.

Going from "faint" memory but this might be one of the BNs with a catalog printed on the back. Don't remember notes. Maybe Larry Kart could help.

That would be dandy. Just don't expect me to strap some sticks on.

Everybody please stop whining. We have had over 2 and a half feet in the last 10 days. I shoveled about 6" this morning and we expect another 6" overnight. Weather channel says it will be like this for 4 more days. Did I mention it has been around 20 degrees all day. Gotta admit it's better than zero and lots of wind.

I think many, if not all, of the Byg reissues (of US titles) were dubbed from vinyl. I know the Delmarks they reissued were on the market before Delmark could send them the tapes.

Just burned a disc for Ann's car. Thanks.

Doesn't he play keyboards on the Letterman show?

GregN intorduces useless facts. We don't need stuff like that in a thread like this. Bones, Schmones. Let us all have our fantasy scenes.

Also worth searching out is "My Heart In My Hands", Columbia CS 9563. This is some sort of ultimate "male torch song" record. One of my favorites on the record is "Eight Million Stories (in the Naked City)". Happy endings are few.

Only if you can make money by hiding your product.

There's a "rainy day" recommendation.
