Guess you never took a marketing class. My thoughts exactly

I'd be interested. It would make a great Mosaic for sure.

You should get it (IMHO), the material has never sounded this good and the booklet is GREAT. The organ is off putting, I agree, but Lester sounded great on that session. There are outtakes, but they only add (for me), as I love Lester. I would not hesitate getting this if you are: a Count Basie Orchestra fan, a Prez fan, pre-WWI jazz fan. I listen to this set often. Pre-WWI? Whoops Pre-WWII, that's what I get for posting at work. lol. I was just kidding By the way, "pre-WWII" doesn't quite cover it; for Americans "pre-WWII" is pre-1941, of course, but WWII began in Europe in 1939. I'd prefer "pre-bop" (just nitpicking )

I think this topic is (as the thread title says) about "Mosaics That Could Have Been, But Weren't (and were probably better off that way)", not about which Mosaics you would like.

Well, they did...

WTF? I hope this set WILL be released and not fade away.... Good thing I have been bingeing on some Analogue Productions Blue Note SACD's and the Nat King Cole SACD's.... But still....I remember the original release date was November now it's June? Well, if it takes this long to get clearance there's nothing they can do, can they. Blame the owners of the recordings, not Mosaic.

The Young/Basie set is now on the "Last Chance"-list.

It seems some remixing has been done. Mark Wilder did the remastering: credits.

That is one fine release, and it was at a very fine price. Why indeed did it disappear so quickly? I'm told it's going at ridiculous prices on ebay. That release showed the majors could beat the bootleggers at their own game...but as it seems to be a one-off, they choose NOT to do it. That was a European release. Sony have their own release policy in the various European countries.

Where do you see your member number? We're glad you are back AB. It used to be in the left-hand column, under the avatar. Jim removed the member numbers years ago.

Found one. Thanks for the replies. And also Straight No Filter. Later issues had the same content as the original LPs, with several sessions scattered over the 3 CDs.

Hi Brad, No, I have the "BN Works" TOCJ and it has a few different tracks from different sessions. I am looking for the first "McMaster" CD reissue from 1989 with the tracks listed in my ad.

I am looking for the late 1980s CD reissue of Hank Mobley's The Turnaround (Blue Note 84186) in excellent or better condition, with these tracks: - Pat 'n Chat - Third Time Around - Hank's Waltz - The Turnaround - Straight Ahead - My Sin The transfers were done by Ron McMaster. My only payment option is PayPal. Please PM me if you're selling a copy or know where I can get one.

Wow, CD issues of Warne's Revelation material would be fantastic! I have the hatOLOGY, but I'd like to have more, much more. I saw Warne live in the Netherlands in the 1970s and I've always loved his recordings from the Atlantics onwards.

I believe we learned that the target size was 7, in economic terms. Correct.

This sale is closed. A new sale thread with "Blue Note Works" CDs will be posted shortly.

Jeff, Mailed John and gave him your regards. He's doing well at the moment; he's very busy and doesn't have much time for other things than work.

Here's the breakdown on the US 15 CD box following the LP sequence Abide With Me - Stereo (Mono in K2) Well, You Needn't - Stereo (Mono in K2) Ruby, My Dear (Coleman Hawkins) - Stereo (mono in K2) Off Minor (tk 5) - stereo (mono in K2) Epistrophy - stereo (mono in K2) Crepuscle With Nellie (tk 6) - mono (mono in K2) non LP (CD bonus) Off Minor (tk 4) - mono (mono in K2) Crepuscle With Nellie (tks 4 & 5) - stereo (stereo in K2) Blues For Tomorrow (Monk absent) - mono (not on K2) -> the stereo version was first issued on the 2006 Riverside twofer (TM & JC); also stereo on the recent OJC remaster Hans, I'm interested to know the details of the Japanese box - are there both mono & stereo versions of these titles? Also the European 20bit Digipak OJC of Monk's Music is also mono (same as US K2) These titles appear on my Japanese box (Riverside VDJ-25010~24): Crepuscule with Nellie (take 1, stereo) Crepuscule with Nellie-breakdown (stereo) Blues for Tomorrow (mono) Off Minor (take 4, mono) Off Minor (take 5, stereo) Abide with Me (stereo) Crepuscule with Nellie (take 4/5, stereo) Crepuscule with Nellie (take 6, mono) Epistrophy-fragment (mono) Epistrophy (stereo) Well, You Needn't-opening (stereo) Well, You Needn't (stereo) Ruby, My Dear (with Coleman Hawkins, stereo) Ruby, My Dear (with John Coltrane, mono) I didn't do a thorough check, but there seem to be tracks that appeared only on the K2. Avoid that 20-bit remastered German digipak reissue, the sound is horrendous.

Agree on both counts. They both made this a better place! Thanks Aggie!! I really appreciate it. I was wondering what happened to both couw and catesta. I looked up catesta's account and saw that he was last here in January, so hopefully he's still coming around. I used to exchange a lot of messages with John (couw). Is he okay, or is it something that happened on the board? They were both real assets to this place! Catesta was last here over a year ago, in January 2011, and couw left the board years ago after a major fight about the direction this board was taking. I'm in regular contact with him; he's had some major changes in his life and he has no intention whatsoever to return here. Unfortunately, many of the "old guys" from the BNBB and the early days of this board have left.

It'd be nice if catesta and couw would also come back, but in couw's case it's not gonna happen...
