Helsinki 1962 also appeared on this companion to the 1961 Chante du Monde box: https://www.discogs.com/master/1475755-John-Coltrane-European-Tour-1962

Well what I mostly mean by that is he's pretty much just following what Cuscuna prepared for CD release in the 80s-2000s, including many of the unreleased sessions he got into the world and stuff he put out through Mosaic. Both instances also include music from other labels under the EMI ownership umbrella like the Amy and Marable titles above.

Agreed all counts.

I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like they are continuing the Revisited series (and frankly the last many, many entries have been total bullshit). And after getting a start with Cecil/Braxton/Lacy/Ran Blake with "First Visit" it also seems like they are also just going to be releasing new sessions under this banner. but I'd love to see any of those you listed come out!

Good stuff as always, but as always I already have the CDs. On the one hand, Was is just taking all of Cuscuna's work and restamping it. On the other hand he's smart enough to know that he should just take all of Cuscuna's work and restamp it.

In a later edition there's a short forward by Chambers explaining the whole thing.

Haven't read the Carr, but I do like Jack Chambers' bio quite a bit. It does however have a bit of the opposite problem wherein Chambers is unrelentingly critical of the music, not unlike Gunther Schuller in his early jazz and swing books. You'll learn just about everything you need to know about Miles' day to day but come away with the conclusion he only recorded a small handful of truly successful pieces. That said, an interesting perspective that's worth hearing out.

Will definitely pick this up. Hopefully we can get a reissue of Opus Krampus soon!

Ordered mine the other day, really looking forward to this one

Time will tell I suppose, but the label seems to be headed in a fairly wan direction now. I'll certainly keep my eye out, but it's been quite awhile since they've released much of interest to me at least.
