The Tone Poet and other BN LPs are in the racks at HMV stores in the UK. That is good distribution.

Noted, and enough to put me off. I’ll probably sample as as and when, and take it from there. FWIW, I don’t think you need especially sensitive ears to notice the piano-warbling!

You’re part of history! I see from a uk website that your notes are indeed used for Poppin’ https://www.prestomusic.com/jazz/products/8714149--hank-mobley-poppin-vinyl-edition

Blue Note. Right up there with the Andorrans. Royalties for liner notes? Really?

Thanks, both. Looks like the streaming/dl releases could continue - maybe include material not on the Mosaic, if they can keep it up.

Has anybody figured out how the Mosaic release maps on to the National Jazz Museum’s version? https://www.savoryjazz.org/

Basement? I find myself wondering why this didn’t make its way on to Psi. Maybe it’s no good. I can’t remember and don’t have a deck set up.

Here is what they are saying on discogs about this not-as-rare-as-I-thought LP: https://www.discogs.com/release/424234-Tracks/reviews#c827295

I went into the loft. I have got Tracks. Go me.

I’m dealing with another company at the moment that promised delivery before Christmas on a gift. Nothing after a week, not even a promised confirmation of availability. They just lie and take your money.

Purchasing multiple editions of minor records is obligatory on this board!

Evan Parker and Matt Wright, Trance Map (Psi). Heard them perform this several times - very attached.

Well I love Henderson’s contribution on IEIWLY and I can’t imagine they’d cut that. In fact all of those are choice compositions which give significance to the date. It’s hard to imagine any one of them being cut. I hope they just squeeze it all on. Maybe I’ll stick to the CD...

Oh dear...

Here’s one of the earlier discussions of SNF:

Probably have a fairly dry clear sound like those BN Mosaics of the past. I’m remembering why I sold my 1989 issues of NRFS, Turnaround, and SNF. The two originally issued albums (as heard in the RVG issues) were so much stronger. People may not know that the 1989 issues contained the original four dates in (something like) recording sequence - as given in the discography of the new set, but not as presented there.

Hawkins/Mitchener Quartet, UpRoot (Intakt). Other jazz/improv records are available - but no, no they’re not. There’s just this one.

They aren’t in session order within each session!

The sequencing in this set makes no sense, by the way.

I hear you. Re. Mobley, I rather wish I’d kept my first issue CDs of No Room for Squares and The Turnaround, which put the sessions back together. Though not in session order. Anyway.

I’ve started to be up for these. Even though I currently have no stereo. And no plans to buy one. Poppin’ and The Kicker look tempting. And maybe go back to the previous issues for Clubhouse and... oh dear Further thought. Is The Kicker maybe too long to make top notch vinyl - ?

Something tells me that even if you got the individual disks you’d keep the box sets. But what do I know?

I wonder why the alt of Me ‘n’ You didn’t make it to the UCCQ SHM.

Unkind. I predict FOMO.
