I think the price change is due to the exchange rate.

Maybe we will see rolling reissues of batches of these. Is anyone aware of plans to reissue titles after these 48?

Oh yes... Thanks! Duh - I hadn't seen that in such a flap was I...

Does the Armstrong JSP box contain a booklet? I need a smattering of data for a paragraph in a book I am writing (uhhhh... that I want to finish by Sunday, yikes). I was sure there was a book but there seem to be only poxy inserts. If there is no book, could anyone kindly point me to an online source giving details of dates and personnel on these sides. Thanks all. PS the book isnt about jazz so don't hold your breath.

Now you mention it, I always thought that MJQ LP was rather trebly. Man can they PLAY though...

Anyway who really NEEDS more than one pair of shoes?

yeah that 'anonymous' certainly wrote a few well thumbed 'classics'...

Hey I scored one for re-reading old classics. But, uhhh, that seems to be part of my job so maybe it doen't count...

I know there is another thread of this type - I just thought I'd start a fresh one. My pick of the day is Charles Hayward, Double Agents (Live in Japan Volume 2) Locus Solus LSR 002, recorded 1996 Duets with Brotzmann, Haino, Tatsauya Yoshida and Yoshihide Otomo, plus two trio tracks with Brotz and Haino. OK its a noise fest but ME LIKEE. Has anyone heard or even heard of this one? Post your obscure favorites here!

What happens when it all goes to SACD? That's what I am hoping for anyway...

Support EMI! At the cost of about a dollar a minute...

Well I agree with that. And I sure as hell don't get any fun or pleasure out of buying product with a STOP THIEF label on it.

You are right Stephan, so it is worth correcting me! However it also sort of bears out my point, that the marketing on some of these sets is as much about getting people to rebuy things they already have and to lure them with an album or two they don't. Also lets be aware that single disc releases of the previously unreleased titles may follow. This Patton set is aimed directly at people who already have some of the material. Those people don't get very much extra because the set is not in any way 'complete'. Anyway, its down to preference. Personally I wouldn't (usually...) buy a set just to get one LPs worth. In any case when such sets are released it often releases vinyl copies on to the market!

Thank you all very much! Some very good advice in there as well... When I get back maybe I will post some of the wedding photos... if you're lucky!

Actually there may be a slght problem with the music, in that the rest in the music seems to be a shade longer due to the inclusion of the cue point. That may be a false impression however.

And I'm too lazy to read this thread. Will somebody tell me what it says?

The TOCJ of Sonic Boom contains only Sonic Boom. The second session of the is on the TOCJ of Procrastinator but NOT on the Conn. That second session is added to Sonic Boom. Perhaps that is why they are changing the cover but I think they should have stuck with the original.

Well we have been together a while and it is time to do the decent thing. Hurrah!

Thanks for posting this. But I am too lazy to look at it. Can anybody tell me what it looks like?

I wish the Patton and Chambers sets had something to add. I prefer the archival spirit of Mosaic to the convenient re-reissue 3-pack. The Carmell Jones was very welcome - there should be more like that. The Grachan Moncur was the least creditable since it offered one album new-to-CD as a draw to those who had the other titles. At least the Patton and Chambers, by offering nothing new, aren't as cynical as the Moncur. Still, the CJB is a good and welcome release so perhaps I shouldn't moan!

I'm too lazy to post it.

How much of the Chambers is new to CD? I think I have it all already. As with the Patton I am just a bit bored by this return to recently released material.

I also like that DG are hip to Brit jazz - touting releases from the likes of Ian Carr, Don Rendell, Tubby Hayes and so on. Obviously I can get mine here in England - but YOU lot should be getting them from DG!

The US McMaster issue has the wrong cue points, as you described. They are all like that, AFAIK.

Shrdlu I think early records has lower prices and charges less shipping - am I worng? Soul Stream The BN titles listed at DG as in paper sleeve are the JRVGs.
