J.A.W.

Might have something to do with the rights?

I was. Sometimes hard to tell on the internet.

Several reasons: these are CD-Rs and, as I said in my first post, I don't want a CD-R, and I'm not going to support activities such as selling unauthorized CD-Rs of copyrighted material. Do they at least clearly advertise these discs as CD-Rs? When I last ordered from them through their own website (not eBay) some years back they only made a distinction between new and used discs without going into specifics about the condition used discs were in. I only ordered new DIW discs from them (with complete satisfaction). See post #7 in the Movie Gold thread:

Yep, I know. He has supplied me with a few rare CDs, but his prices are indeed pretty steep.

Not long ago a copy went on eBay for a reasonable amount, with only 1 bidder. Missed out on that one due to an error on my part.

Still looking for the Bluiett

I'm looking for this CD in excellent or better condition (NO CD-R): New York Art Quartet - Mohawk - Fontana (Japan) PHCE 1003 PayPal is my only payment option. Please PM me if you're selling one or know where I can get one. Thanks.

In that case I don't expect to get a reply from them... Charging $15 - $16 for bootlegs is a disgrace in my view - but I'm probably being naive...

I didn't see that on their Movie Gold page. Did you get a CD-R, maybe taken from a Japanese CD? Or are these perhaps needle-drops, i.e. taken from vinyl? If you click on the individual titles in the OP's link, "[CD-R]" is the first thing you see in the description. Ah, I see. Thanks.

I've asked DMG about Movie Gold. Will post here when they reply - if I get a reply. I didn't see that on their Movie Gold page. Did you get a CD-R, maybe taken from a Japanese CD? Or are these perhaps needle-drops, i.e. taken from vinyl?

Seems to be a European label. I wonder if it's legit.

That album (Out of the Storm) sounds weird to me, with the drums too much in the foreground. The mix spoils it for me and so do the tuned drums.

I don't know which Clifford Brown Voge album is listed above, but some of the material he recorded with Gigi Gryce in Paris was also released on Prestige.

Vogue LD 169 was reissued on Prestige 7827. Personnel on this date: Konitz, Henri Renaud (piano), Jimmy Gourley (guitar), Don Bagley (bass) and Stan Levey (drums).

See my last post and Larry's post above yours. It can now be accessed again.

The older Kenny Burrell thread (from 2012) seems to have been deleted. I have no idea why.

This is a Sony Europe release.

Recent thread on Kenny Burrell:

I agree with you there, the legitimacy of many live recordings released on obscure labels is questionable to say the least.

If the radio stations don't own the rights of their Miles Davis recordings and don't have the right to license them, then why didn't the actual owners for instance stop the Dragon set, which was released way before the old 50-year EU copyright limit? As Kevin posted above they did so with other releases. Furthermore, as was discussed on this board (Lon's first link above), Miles got royalty payments from Dragon and thanked them for it; I don't think that would have happened if the release had been illegit. Why don't copyright holders stop Amazon from selling PD material that shouldn't be brought into the US? Sometimes the fight isn't worth it. Just because they haven't stopped this release doesn't prove it's legit, esp. if it just slipped under the wire for PD status in the EU. As I indicated a few times the Dragon set was released when the material wasn't yet in the public domain in the EU, that's why I specifically mentioned it. Why would they have paid Miles and why would he have thanked them if the release had been illegit? Did you read the discussion on this board Lon linked to above?

Check out this post: Also on this search page: https://groups.googl...zM/gYqVy-xh3SMJ Thanks for posting those links. ----- Exclusive contracts under U.S. law, such as Miles Davis is assumed to have had with Columbia, don't necessarily apply to the rest of the world.

As was the case with the Stockholm concerts that were released on the Dragon set (which, by the way, came out long before the old EU 50-year copyright limit and wasn't stopped; it's still available) the rights of the Amsterdam concerts are owned by the radio station that recorded them, not the estate. The release is legit.

The Dutch set is now also available from German store jpc.de for €25.99: http://www.jpc.de/jp...3251459?lang=en (English) or http://www.jpc.de/jp...3251459?lang=de (German).
