I don't know. The site seems to be up now. I was thinking of getting a few things, so I will go see what happens when I put them in the basket. No kidding. Wonder if it's because I'm out of the U.S. I just get a contact screen: --------------------------------------------------------- EMAIL cdbaby@cdbaby.com Need to send us an attachment?

It knows the way. I'm not in the United States either, but I get the full site so to speak.

The continuous availability of the Hank Mobley set (not part of this sale, by the way) is even more remarkable.

* jazzbo's * Fer Urbina's More input? Actually, I found Mr Sunenblick's e-mail quite funny, but it is indeed an overreaction and rather offensive. As for the sound quality, I haven't heard the CD, but, given Allen's experience with de-noising, I trust his judgement.

Great set

Mosaic end of August sale (right-hand column)

Thanks for the warning. The transfers and mastering were done by Bill Welham; never heard of him.

This may be tough for Mosaic to pull together, as they would have to draw from at least four labels to gather it all: Drumfusion (Columbia) A Different Journey (Reprise) Passin' Thru (Impulse) Man From Two Worlds (Impulse) Transfusion (Studio West) I agree that these are all fine records, and would make an excellent set. The last one consists of short tracks recorded for the US Navy, and first issued in the 1990's. Perhaps not as essential as the others, but interesting. Lloyd is also on Chico's previous Columbia LP ("The Chico Hamilton Special"), but the format is closer to the old Hamilton group, with cello and no Szabo. Szabo is also on The Further Adventures of El Chico and Chic Chic Chico. I suggested a Mosaic with Hamilton's Columbia and Impulse! sessions with his Quintet featuring Charles Lloyd, Gabor Szabo, Garnett Brown and Albert Stinson to Michael Cuscuna, and he replied that he'd love to release a set with those sessions plus the Hamilton Reprise album, but that it is not going to happen due to all kinds of licensing problems.

See the info in this Uptown thread.

Ah, I see - it's a YouTube comparison. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Pristine Audio and better sound? You're kidding, right? Pristine Audio's Andrew Rose manipulates recordings taken from sources like MP3 (he has said that the source is of no importance!) and sells them as the ultimate in remastering on his public domain label, as was discussed on other fora some time ago. To my ears his "efforts" sound horrible.

Edited.

Thanks for clearing that up, I remember it now. Simply put, it was a case of "you can't sell what you've already sold once and therefore isn't yours anymore."

There was; as I said in my previous post I have it. It came out in 1991.

Well, I'm not too confident about the sound quality on this set. It will probably be mastered by Erick Labson, who mastered Hip-O's other Chess sets (Muddy Waters, Little Walter), and I'm not fond of his work: it's often too harsh and loud to my ears. OK. Listened to the Labson mastered Hip-O Muddy and Walter sets, along with a couple of Labson mastered MCA sets. Compared with the Charly Muddy and Walter boxes, the Labson sets are more harsh and loud, though perhaps they have a bit more clarity. I guess you make your choice of what you want to hear. For now, at least, I'm glad I held on to my Charly boxes. They may not be the best - not sure what else is out there - any suggestions, Hans? - but they're certainly listenable. This kind of listening makes me crazy. I don't have the Charly sets (if I remember correctly those were not legit), so I can't comment on them, but I do have the Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf MCA/Chess boxes and earlier individual MCA/Chess CD reissues and, though they were all mastered by Mr Labson, to my ears they sound less aggressively harsh and loud to me; they're not as fatiguing as Labson's more recent masterings of Chess recordings, which, by the way, include the first set with Muddy Waters' complete Aristocrat and Chess recordings, Rollin' Stone: The Golden Anniversary Collection (The Complete Chess Masters, Vol.1, 1947-1952), which was released on Chess, not Hip-O. The advantage of both Muddy Waters sets (Chess + Hip-O), the Little Walter set (Hip-O) and the upcoming Howlin' Wolf set (Hip-O) is that you get their complete recordings from their prime years in chronological order. I hope they will do a Sonny Boy Williamson II (Rice Miller) set next.

I agree. A typical example of two albums that don't match very well, at least not in my view.

A 4CD Howlin' Wolf Chess box covering the years 1951-1960 is scheduled for release by Hip-O Select on October 18, 2011.

No, I don't have them. Maybe I should get them. Anyway, thanks to Chuck and you for bringing these to my attention.

Ah yes, Sound of Joy and Sun Song, both from 1956.

Just checked and I have fewer Sun Ra CDs than I thought; I'm not fond of his post-mid-1960s work. These would be my recommendations: • Super-Sonic Jazz – Evidence; 1956 recordings • Visits Planet Earth/Interstellar Low Ways – Evidence; 1956, 1958 and 1960 recordings • We Travel the Spaceways/Bad and Beautiful – Evidence; 1956, 1958-1961 recordings • Angels and Demons at Play/The Nubians of Plutonia – Evidence; 1956 and 1960 recordings • Jazz in Silhouette – Evidence; 1958 recordings • Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy/Art Forms of Dimensions Tomorrow – Evidence; 1961-1963 recordings • When Angels Speak of Love – Evidence; 1963 recordings • Other Planes of There – Evidence; 1964 recordings • The Magic City – Evidence; 1965 recordings

I agree, many of the Evidence CDs are worth getting, even though they're marred by noise reduction. As far as I know it's the only way to get this music on CD.

That's exactly the problem I have with "2LPs-on-1CD" reissues like these: the couplings are often arbitrary and not always a good match.

Thanks. I did a search, but didn't find any earlier threads. I'll ask Larry to merge the threads or lock this one.
