J.A.W.

I have the complete Haitink cycle with the LPO and the CGO on individual CDs, Ashkenazy's interpretation of the 5th with the RPO, Previn with the LSO in No.6 and Karajan with the BPO in No.10. Shostakovich's symphonies are definitely a mixed bag, but I'm not so negative as David - I guess I'm a bit more tolerant of some of the "film music" aspects of his work and the influence the pressure (euphemistically put) from the Soviet authorities may have had on it. The Haitink, Previn and Karajan interpretations are regarded by some as being "too smooth, too Western." I don't mind, many Russian versions I've heard often sounded too "raw" to me.

Very sorry to hear this.

Thanks for clearing that up, Jonathan. I think the FD catalogue is in good hands with Ace.

Click on your handle at the top right-hand corner, click on your profile, click on "edit my profile" at the top right-hand corner, click on "manage ignored users" in the left-hand column, and finally add a name to the bar at the bottom of that page, tick one of the boxes or both below that bar and click on "save changes", and Bob's your uncle, to use an English expression

Very sorry to hear this. The first two Band albums are favourites of mine.

http://www.organissi...post__p__116047 So I guess the question now is did the daughters sell FD to someone else or did they relent and lease the rights? Thanks for digging that up. I found this recent post by JLH: So Sony owned the catalogue up to about 2010, the daughters after that and it's now owned by whomever the daughters sold it to.

Well, that's the info I got a while ago. Maybe I was misinformed - so who does own FD? I thought someone, maybe JLH, posted last year that Thiele's daughters owned the rights to the catalog. Furthermore they didn't want to license the FD recordings out piecemeal because they felt they would get more money for the recordings if they sold them all together. The info I got was that they had sold FD. Maybe the answer is somewhere earlier in this thread, but I don't have time to re-read it. Well it looks like Jonathan has the rights to 'em, so... Yes, the three he talked about, but does he also have the rights to the rest of the catalogue?

It is owned by Sony and distributed by their Legacy subsidiary.

Agree. I will buy all 3. Haven't heard them, but am certainly interested.

Agreed. The best option since Hiroshi Tanno closed up shop. CD Japan

I asked them about this and they told me they stopped selling booklets separately a few years ago, unless the sets are OOP and they still have copies of the booklets.

Or change the title of this thread - Jonathan can do that himself: click on "edit" --> "use full editor" --> thread title at the top. Done.

There is one on eBay now. Thanks, I noticed that, but thought I'd try here first.

I am looking for this Mosaic CD-set in excellent or better condition: Freddie Redd - The Complete Blue Note Recordings - Mosaic MD2-124, 2CD-set PayPal is my only payment option. Please PM me if you're selling one. Thanks.

CD Japan. Their service is good and in my experience they're reliable. They're selling these CDs for 952 yen, which is about $11.75, £7.40 and €9 at today's exchange rate as used by Universal Currency Converter.

Castro's Groove Funk Soul was scheduled for release on CD in Japan in 2007, but was withdrawn. Jordi Pujol's Fresh Sound released it as part of Teddy Edwards' 2CD-set Sunset Eyes-Complete Recordings in 2010. Mood Jazz was only reissued on CD by Collectables.

The Nat Adderly WAS part of a Collectables if memory serves. .....and it does. It was coupled with Freddie Hubbard's "Soul Experiment": http://www.amazon.com/Soul-Experiment-Autobiography-Freddie-Hubbard/dp/B00004YNFA According to AMG the Jack Wilson album with Roy Ayers was issued on CD in 2005, but I can't find it anywhere. It will be included in the May 23 batch. The cover looks familiar, so it's quite possible I have this on cd. When I get to storage, I'll try to remember to check. Actually, it too was on a Collectables: http://www.oldies.com/product-view/66262.html Two of those idiotic Collectables couplings in rather poor sound... Instead, how 'bout "Thank you, John, for doing the research"? Why? I didn't ask you to and I was only giving my opinion on those Collectables reissues. Or is it not allowed to criticize the items you found? Sheesh man, get over yourself. Really? I would say the same to you. I wasn't endorsing the items I found; just being factual. Didn't your mama teach you right? Whatever. And leave my long-deceased mother out of it. Your response says a lot about you. Anyway, I won't read your posts anymore, I've had enough of your arrogance and insults and I've just promoted you to my ignore list. Bye.

Thanks for posting this. The 1,000 yen price tag is very attractive, even with today's high yen exchange rate. In my opinion one of the "must have" CDs is Art Farmer's Live at the Half Note with Jim Hall. The Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh CDs are also worth getting, as well as the George Wallington, Phineas Newborn and Jimmy Giuffre discs. Fortunately, I already have all of them, either on individual CDs (no Collectables, those did indeed not sound good) or in a Mosaic set

Another one gone...
