Something released in Italy through Universal. Totally legit.

See my post #6 above.

Ok. Are these cd's or cd-r's?

It is outstanding. Great performances though the live recorded sound is 'of its time', so to speak. Evan Parker is cited as calling it the best Tubbs he ever heard. He rests my case. Thanks. How 'bout the Harriott - Live at Harry's 1963, also on Tony Levin's label?

Early Fantasy OJC mastering is actually quite good when compared to early Blue Note, Columbia and Impulse cd's. This was just a cheap way for Concord to get the OJC's back into the marketplace through their new association with Universal Distribution. There's also a similar 8 cd Sonny Rollins Prestige set and an 8 cd Duke Carnegie Hall set. I'm sure others will follow.

Without having knowledge of my reasons for picking up the "latest incarnation", what am I denying?

Label M did not put out a Kelly at the Left Bank. Verve put out 2 separate cd's with Joe Henderson. Fresh Sound put out 2 double discs sets - one with Mobley in 1967 and 1 with Coleman in 1968.

Does anyone have any opinion on the Rare 2 cd release "Addictive Tendencies"? Is this worth seeking out?

Original OJC mastering from the late 80s/early 90s. Yes, I'm afraid the OJC logo does appear on all the sleeves. These only have the front covers with white back covers listing tunes, dates, credits and mastering credits.

You must've gotten beaten up an awful lot in high school!

I love it when non-New Yorkers try to make heads or tails out of New Yorkers!

I use Worlds alot also. But for some reason, these British releases are dirt cheap directly from Britain as opposed to buying from Worlds. I know he's a lawyer, but I'm just trying to give the man some options

No love for Branford???

Just stating fact. You'll notice no expression of opinion in my initial post.

I don't know, but just fyi, BMG Spain issued all of those albums on individual CD's in 2002. Yes they did. And Jordi Pujol was involved somehow.

And we would have gotten many more lousy sounding Muse recordings!

Spoken like a true lawyer!

If you think all of their "fare" is "safe", then you haven't been listening closely enough. Maybe Venus is more to your taste? where the Japanese producers (and Todd "I need my payday" Barkan) think that assimilation into American culture equates to pigeon-holing all American jazzers to play standards? Have at it if that's the case.

Avid is British. This is a good release --- much cheaper to order from Amazon UK.

He may be full of skata, but he is one of the most under-recognized, underappreciated guitarists in rock!

I ordered the Pieranunzi and Rava from Amazon France and the Threadgill direct from CAM Jazz (after I realized that I was missing a few of those discs too). All have shipped.

uh, dood...sure about that? Guess I wasn't so sure after all.

Allen Lowe is becoming unhinged.......AGAIN!

They probably picked the 3 with the smallest Atlantic output. I think any MJQ Atlantic box would have been like 10-12 discs.

Ah......to be 12 again!!! I have the first Blackmore's Rainbow album, with Dio's first appearance on record.
