    One of my Japanese sources told me that they really are two release dates; you only see them on reissued Japanese discs. As far as I know these Beatles CDs are still available; I got them from Amazon Japan only a few months ago.

    The CDs were released on March 11, 1998.

    Forgot to mention the Keller Quartet - Chuck is right, their Complete Quartets are great. I've edited my post.

    I agree, with the exception of the JRVGs, which I don't like at all.

    $70?? Good grief How much are first row seats?
  12. J.A.W.
    What is the title of the Mitchell and what label is it on? That Pinnock set has great "period" performances, though I always found the complete symphonies a bit much...
  13. J.A.W.
    Any comments on the music, Chuck?
  14. J.A.W.
    ...And thanks also for the unforgettable Untouchables!

    Comment?

    If you like Red Garland, these CDs are recommended. The remastering is great. Reinier (the seller) has never sold me a bad CD.
  17. J.A.W.
    Procession of the Great Ancestry is available from Chuck as Nessa N-26.
  18. J.A.W.
    In addition to Chuck's Golden Quartet recommendations I can recommend his 1979 ECM album, Divine Love, with Lester Bowie, Kenny Wheeler, Dwight Andrews, Bobby Naughton, and Charlie Haden. It's still available in Europe.
  19. J.A.W.
    No bids yet, with less than a day to go.
  20. J.A.W.
    No, we aren't; we can only hope... Blue Train will be a hybrid SACD: http://store.acousticsounds.com/store.cfm?...11470&do=detail
  21. J.A.W.
    ...or about €44 at today's exchange rate ($1 = €0.87 / €1 = $1.15)

    Please keep us posted, Kevin - I'd be very interested in a hybrid SACD box!
