    Should be. Of course, if Hans hears back from Scott, we'll have the definitive answer. Haven't heard from him (yet).

    Jazz Times obit, posted by Kevin over on the Hoffman site.

    Kevin posted over on the Hoffman forum that Hank Jones passed away. Very sad news. Loved his music. I edited the thread title.

    Using the mono button won't undo the bad effects of fake stereo.

    As far as I know this date has never been issued on CD.

    Member Hot Ptah posted a thread about this project on the much-maligned Hoffman forum. It should help sales a bit.

    Prestige 7249 was the "electronically rechanneled for stereo" (= fake stereo) reissue of Prestige 7074. This session was recorded in mono and thus never issued in "true" stereo. The 7249 reissue dates from the early 1960s - I think it was 1962.

    Thanks, but I don't download music and certainly not stuff in MP3 quality.

    Thanks, but Half.com is "U.S.-only" and I'm in the Netherlands, and you don't seriously think I'm gonna spend that kind of money, do you??

    I am looking for the Rahsaan: The Complete Roland Kirk Mercury Recordings box in excellent or better condition, so if you're selling one or know where I can get one, please PM me. It should be complete, with 10 CDs and 1 bonus disc. PayPal is my only payment option.

    Missed the Kirk box again...

    It appears that either this set will include a lot of un-issued material, or there will be more recordings included than the ones that Hans lists (perhaps including the Impulse! sessions?). I am hoping for the former. The set will include Jamal's Argo/Chess sessions only, no Impulse! dates. As mentioned on this Mosaic page, there'll be 23 unissued sides.

    There was no digital noise reduction when the LPs were issued in the 1970s (I think it was 1977). Sonic Solutions' NoNOISE technology, which was used on the CD reissues, was first introduced in 1987.

    Another year? In that case I can hardly believe the numbering is sequential, with mixedupfiles' set being in the high 7400s and the total number being 7500. Hans, since you seem to be in touch with Scott on a regular basis, could you ask him about this? Up until recently, at least, the big boxes were definitely numbered in the sequence in which they were shipped--based on Mosaic's email to Brad, and also based on the numbers people have posted here for soon-to-be OOP sets that they just purchased. Perhaps this has changed? Or perhaps mixedupfiles' Mobley number is, well, mixed up? Given the recent outsourcing of shipping operations, who knows? I've e-mailed Scott about this.

    I think he meant that the 10" date could have been added to the Hank Mobley and His All Stars CD pictured above.
  17. J.A.W.
    Correct, though it's not necessarily one dollar more; the difference increases when the bidding goes higher.

    I just received this e-mail from Mosaic:

    The link in your post didn't work. Please re-post it. (edit) Is this the book you're referring to: Amazon link?

    Thanks. I stand corrected; the info I got that all UCCI CDs were 24-bit remastered is clearly not correct.
  21. J.A.W.
    Strange. All my UCCI CDs are 24-bit remastered, not 20-bit K2, and my Japanese contacts assured me the whole UCCI-9xxx series is 24-bit remastered. What are the catalogue numbers of your discs?
  22. J.A.W.
    There were no UCCI 20-bit K2 remasters; those K2s had MVCJ and MVCZ prefixes and were exclusively issued by Victor. The UCCI discs were all 24-bit remasters and they were issued by Universal.
  23. J.A.W.
    The Japanese Impulse! UCCI-9xxx CDs are not new, they were issued years ago. They're not the same as the 20-bit K2 MVCJ remasters that were issued in the 1990s; the UCCI discs are 24-bit remastered and opinions on their sound vary. To my ears they sound harsh, as if the higher frequencies have been boosted, and a tad loud; I find them fatiguing. Others here like them. The MVCJ and MVCZ and earlier MVCI series were released by Victor Japan, the UCCI series by Universal Japan.

    I have tried this already but all I get is the following options: My Profile; My Settings; Messenger; Manage Friends and Manage Ignored Users. Sorry, I meant: click on "messenger".

    Click on your name at the top right-hand corner and a drop-down menu will appear, then click on "conversations".
