Do you have this one? I have always been curious about it - I have the other Mainieri Solid State LP. Like you , I've only got Journey Thru an Electric Tube , which IMO , is a record that in its best moments approaches Burton-Coryell territory , but one that , given the psych-rock vocalizing and fuzz guitar , I find that I'm not in the mood for all that often . Insight , being a quartet date , might cleave more closely to a Burton-Coryell dynamic and as such might be of greater interest to me , though I must admit to never really having been knocked out by Joe Beck's playing . I had both records back in the day. Liked "Insight" better. The Burton/Coryell comparison is apt, it's a quartet date, while "Journey" is a mixed bag that works only partly.

Both these tracks have been out before, perhaps not legitimately. The Zurich concert (4/8/60) is on Jazz Unlimited 2031. The Netherlands concert (4/9/60) is on Unique Jazz 19 and Natasha 4002. Have the Zurich Jazz Unlimited edition and I'm not sure if its legit either (although it looks professionally done especially the cd booklet) and the sound is very very good; so I guess that would leave just one live track that I don't have.....think I'll pass. Jazz Unlimited was a wing of Storyville, based in Denmark. They issued their "grey area" material on JU. Unique Jazz and Natasha are definitely bootleg releases.

One thing that might turn people off is that there is considerable overdubbing of the reed parts. Tastefully done, I'd say, like the two Zoot Sims records.

That would depend on how much buildup there is. I wouldn't go to any great lengths, just leave it.

Elmer's White glue works fine for me. Use it sparingly. Put a few drops on the label and spread it around with your finger. Apply the label to the surface carefully. After it has dried, if there is any residue you can remove it with a damp paper towel. Fortunately, the glue is water soluble, so you can't do any permanent damage if it gets anywhere other than where you want it.

Whoopee!!!

Forced them? Look who composed When I Dream of You. The arrangement is a dog, agreed. Nice tenor on the instrumental side.

Allen, Ever heard of the Naked City release?

FWIW, I auctioned a copy of this on Ebay recently for significantly less - under $20.00! $99.00 is a little steep. It's probably not the record he wants, anyway.

No others that I know of. Those of us familar with the Tenor Conclave LP caught the error right away.

Saw him at the 1369 when I was about 13-14 with my Dad. He went in in front of me and they almost didn't let me in. Rhythm section didn't bring much that night, but then, Griff rarely needed help. I'm in good company! I was at the 1369 gig, also saw him at the Regattabar one time (he played there a few times). The first time I saw him was at Jonathan Swift's in Harvard Square around 1980. Steve, I expect you were there as well! Always played his ass off!!

A true giant! Got to see him a couple of times. RIP

As traumatic as the event was, you are very lucky that nobody was killed or permanently injured. Hoping for a speedy recovery for your mom!!

First off, bear in mind that this is the same soap that one uses to wash dishes. I doubt that there is any discernable film left on my dishes after I wash them. I have been using this method for about 40 years with excellent results. In regards to toothbrushes, remember that this is the same device that rubs up against your gums, so by definition it is not abrasive. Record surfaces are far more durable than human gums!

Soap and water will do the job, and will not harm the record. Liquid dishwashing detergent and a soapy sponge are all you need. Lather up both sides of the record with the soapy sponge, moving the sponge is circular motions all around the label, then rinse with lukewarm running water, making sure you have rinsed off all of the soap. Let dry in a dish rack, and after about a half hour, dry the beads of water with a paper towel. 99% of the time this is all you need to do. If there are still patches of grime, you may need to scrub those areas more vigorously. An old toothbrush with liquid detergent applied directly will do the job, and again, it will not harm the record.

This recording was made by Gerry MacDonald, an amateur recordist and jazz fan. Apparently it was made in MacDonald's living room. I agree that the piano is not so great, but Zoot is really on, and it's one of my favorite Zoot records. I especially love the version of Neal Hefti's "Fred", originally written for Fred Astaire. This is the tune that led off the original Choice LP.

I gasped when I saw the thread title. Jo is one of my favorite singers. RIP

Agree with many of the above comments, but this set isn't aimed at us anyway. More product to confuse the novice buyer. One of my pet peeve phrases: "hand picked".

Sentimental Journey - Les Brown Orch w/ Doris Day, vocal Definitely know this one!

Same here!! Is this my first exposure to age-ism???

Fraternity was based in Cincinatti, IIRC, but I wouldn't characterize them as a country label. Their biggest hit prior to "So Rare" was "Ivory Tower" by Cathy Carr. I suspect that Dorsey may have produced the session himself, and sold it to Fraternity.

And it's not even an original pressing!!! How come I never get bids like that?? Presumably a real 'original' has '47W 63rd New York 23' on one of the labels? Oh dear ! The original would have the Lexington Ave address. This pressing is from around 1960 or later. No. This record has been issued originally on two label variations : ONE with the 47W63rd labels on both sides (sold here), ANOTHER ONE with mixed labels NY23 / 47W63rd. Those two were issued at the same time using a stock of old and recent labels. Both labels variations are original editions. Last Lexigton labels both sides were around 1542/1543. This 3300 $ record is an original pressing, sold by a very reputable NYC dealer. This record, was a poor seller among Mobley's records, and has never been reissued by Blue Note in the 60's. It only exists on this two forms. It is considered as one of the rarest Blue Note records. Depending on sources, between 600 and 2000 copies have been pressed. I stand corrected. Getting the whole Blue Note succession of labels/addresses, etc is something I'll never get straight! The record was recorded (and the catalog number was assigned) in 1957. Does anybody know when the record was actually pressed and released? And, FWIW, I never intended to impugn the integrity of Fred Cohen & the Jazz Record Center. I've known Fred for 30 years, and he most certainly knows his stuff.

True, Dorsey is definitely the alto soloist on "So Rare", but I believe that Stabile does play on some of the tracks on the subsequent LP, which was issued after JD's death. Tommy died two weeks after "So Rare" was recorded. Did he actually get a chance to hear the record?

Topsy Part 2 was a huge hit in the States back in the late 1950's. I remember watching the kids dance to it on American Bandstand. Shake a Lady, Shampoo, and Like Young got lots of airplay on jazz radio back in the day - don't believe they actually crossed over to pop.
