romualdo

Until recently I thought the label was extinct but was surprised to find it still functioning (effectively?). Do they really have the Parker/Lytton Ra LP in stock?

thanks for the encouraging comment

Has anyone dealt with the German label Moers in the past? It appears they have an active website & LPs/CDs for sale, primarily from their festival concerts. I placed an order (Parker/Lytton LP, John Carter CDs) 9 days ago, have been charged but heard nothing from them since ie no email to confirm my order but it is actually still visible on their site. I did send them an email 3 or 4 days ago but have received no response. Have I been dudded?

Have a collection of jazz 78s (Australian, UK, German & US pressings) played on an old wind up portable gramophone (Columbia 109a) or a 78 compatible technics SH-10E turntable (separate power unit) that i sourced from the ABC radio studios in Sydney a few years back. My preamp has the capability to switch to 78. There is definitely an audible difference to the quality of the sound.

RIP Louis a prolific & inspiring musician/human being - just checked my database & he appears on 70 recordings in my library

That Byas set (44-46 US recordings) is one of my fav Mosaics & one of the best releases IMHO

RIP Sly The recent doco is essential viewing IMHO

I'd also add "Omniverse Sun Ra" (Art Yard, 2015) by Geerken & Trent - has updated material missing from Campbell

+1 but it probably would have only fitted the Mosaic Select format & not a big box (or is there more unreleased material)

Interested but unfamiliar with this period - Cook & Morton consistently give 3 stars to most of the Evidence CD releases over various editions

You bet!! never experienced this before where a CDr created from a faulty CD plays clean - generally if there's an issue with the file you won't be able to extract it from the CD to create the CDr

received my Dorham CD today & in my CD/SACD player the distortion on track 7 (& part of track 6) makes it unlistenable BUT the whole CD plays fine on my apple CD drive (computer). I also created a CDr (extracted AIFF files) from the defective disc & lo & behold it plays perfectly - what gives!!!! - it can't be the files then but a likely disc defect

I have the Henderson Mosaic & the (J) SHM Mode CD - both have the alt (tk #20) The alternate take (tk #20) of Mode For Joe from the Mosaic is the same as the alt tk on the SHM CD - both are about one & a half minutes longer (9 min 30 sec) than the master version

as Jazzbo just indicated it is indeed in the Mosaic The other alternate "Black" from Mode was released very early on with the first CD issue of this release

No unreleased material on Hubbard set but 8 (7 alts) on Hutcherson set & 3 (all alts) on Henderson set - I've included a further Henderson alt (Mode For Joe) which was only released on a Japanese SHM CD a few years back pulled this info from my iTunes library Aquarian Moon (tk #1/alt) (8/2/66, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Bobby Hutcherson Quartet - Hancock, Herbie p/BH vb/Cranshaw, Bob b/Chambers, Joe dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 7CD 278) Bouquet (tk #9/alt) (8/2/66, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Bobby Hutcherson Quartet - Hancock, Herbie p/BH vb/Cranshaw, Bob b/Chambers, Joe dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 7CD 278) Rojo (tk #5/alt) (8/2/66, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Bobby Hutcherson Quartet - Hancock, Herbie p/BH vb/Cranshaw, Bob b/Chambers, Joe dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 7CD 278) West 22nd Street Theme (tk #13/alt) (10/6/65, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Bobby Hutcherson Sextet - Hubbard, Freddie tp/Spaulding, James as/Hancock, Herbie p/BH vb/Carter, Ron b/Chambers, Joe dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 7CD 278) • •• Una Muy Bonita (tk #35/alt) (14/7/66, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Bobby Hutcherson Quintet - Henderson, Joe ts/Tyner, McCoy p/BH vb/Lewis, Herbie b/Higgins, Billy dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 7CD 278) Black Circle (tk #38/alt) (14/7/66, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Bobby Hutcherson Quintet - Henderson, Joe ts/Tyner, McCoy p/BH vb/Lewis, Herbie b/Higgins, Billy dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 7CD 278) Verse (tk #12/alt) (14/7/66, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Bobby Hutcherson Quintet - Henderson, Joe ts/Tyner, McCoy P/BH vb/Lewis, Herbie b/Higgins, Billy dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 7CD 278) Photon In A Paper World (25/11/68, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Bobby Hutcherson Quintet - Land, Harold ts/Cowell, Stanley p/BH vb/Johnson, Reggie b/Chambers, Joe dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 7CD 278) La Mesha (tk #15/alt) (3/6/63, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Joe Henderson Quintet - Dorham, Kenny tp/JH ts/Tyner, McCoy p/Warren, Butch b/La Roca, Pete dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 5CD 271) Homestretch (tk #22/alt) (3/6/63, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Joe Henderson Quintet - Dorham, Kenny tp/JH ts/Tyner, McCoy p/Warren, Butch b/La Roca, Pete dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 5CD 271) Our Thing (tk #15/alt) (9/9/63, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Joe Henderson Quintet - Dorham, Kenny tp/JH ts/Hill, Andrew p/Khan, Eddie b/La Roca, Pete dm - prev unrel, Mosaic 5CD 271) Mode For Joe (tk #20/alt) (27/1/66, Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Joe Henderson Septet - Morgan, Lee tp/Fuller, Curtis tb/JH ts/Hutcherson, Bobby vb/Walton, Cedar p/Carter, Ron b/Chambers, Joe dm - non LP, BN (J) UCCQ CD 5120: Mode For Joe (Japanese SHM CD)

link is still active (fine on Mac) - SQ isn't that bad - very listenable IMHO https://crownpropeller.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/105-minutes-with-legendary-clarence-c-sharpe/

Thanks for the tip but again shipping is ridiculously high to Australia ie 44.95 euros (DHL only again) - I've emailed Honest Jon's to see if they intend to carry these LPs

I did try Honest Jon's earlier (been buying from them for a few years now) - not listed yet Did eventually manage to get the 2LPs into a basket but the shipping to Australia is a killer ie £52 for 2LPs!!! that's over $110 Australian (only option is DHL express) - hopefully other shops will carry & this won't to be a limited release

tried to pre-order both but this initial pressing with "poster" appears to be already sold out actually I've tried multiple items & all are unorderable due to being "sold out" - what gives?

would have been an ideal Mosaic Select?

All of that Harriott/Garrick material now gone cept for one twofer & a DVD Also missing in action: Shake Keane, John Surman, Harry Beckett, Henry Lowther, Alan Skidmore, Mike Westbrook, John Cameron, Amancio D'Silva, Bob Downes, Ray Russell...........

A Mercer Mosaic has been previously discussed here - how many discs would that involve - enough material for the box Rx?

thanks for the Widney High tip

Looks like the Nimbus West website has disappeared again - hope it hasn't folded this time

I can see that Peter Losin doesn't mention that Softly.... & Makin' Whoopie are trio tracks though he does have Miles as out on Stardust
