A "sidebar" to welcome Allen here.
Members should check out his books. That Devilin' Tune is the place to start.
Like only a few writers, he makes me think.
I think you answered your own question with the word "nearly".
The 2fer called Jacknife made available 2 lps scheduled, but unreleased. Jacknife was to be BN 4223 and High Frequency was given the number 4236. On the other hand, Vertigo was an incomplete date. When it was later issued on lp Michael added another track to fill the record out.
It would be possible to issue High Frequency and Consequences together.
I don't have a clue.
Somebody posted a picture asking for identification. I wanted to say it was possibly Jimmy Harris (trumpeter in the Erskine Hawkins band) and discovered I could not post.
Yes, there are a bunch of flaws in the original recording from 1954. I like the choices Rudy made in 2001 for this reissue.
BTW, if it don't matter why keep this going?
My only point is, considering the 1954 tapes/RVG technology, the current versions are wonderful.
Sorry you can't hear the great stuff happnin'.
Mike, I urge you to search out the Rosen (vinyl or cd).
What Schumann recordings do you have by him. CR's been a favorite for over 3 decades. I think he's "as bright" as a musician dares before becoming a pedantic bore. He lives on the edge.
Do you know his writing?
