LOL!! (Labour Of Love)

has the Tapscott almost sold out? - knew it would be a good seller

no fingerprints on any of the discs in my set - amazingly I snapped that very disc (#2) when I first received the set - just trying to get it out (almost fainted) Had to get a replacement from Mosaic

I'm in the same situation, having most of the black digipak series but the Vogue Box is aesthetically "gorgeous" & a great price too

knew it would happen eventually!!

no pics of the covers for the first 2 frames (latest 100) on my web browsers (Safari & Firefox) - frames 3, 4 & 5 are OK (previous releases) have no idea what the releases are tried CD Japan future releases - not listed there yet

does this help?

lets try again - hopefully I can remember how I worded this (was deleted with the upgrade attempt) been listening to "Sweet Honey Bee" It sounds soooo good! - much improved on the US RVG I've been replacing my pre RVG BN CD's (or ones I didn't already have) with their SHM equivalents but generally holding onto my US RVG's (though have got the SHM Monks, Jackson, Davis, Brown, Johnson & releases that contain extra unreleased material) Any advice or consensus on what SHM's sound significantly better than their RVG (US) counterparts - have gone through the last 39 frames & have some ideas

What a shock!! RIP Ornette

I think this has all been previously released on LG's Dragon & Sonet CDs

finally opted for the vinyl version (we'll see how it sounds with my new tube/valve amp) - pity they don't include a digital download with the purchase

got a copy of this from Jazz Messengers a few days ago - SQ is very good (compared the originally released titles on official CD to this boot & sound is equivalent) Was very cheap considering its a 6CD set - in sturdy/glossy "clam box"

Currently reading the Havers "Uncompromising Expression" Blue Note publication & he mentions that some of the early BN LP's go up to $5000 - but this figure is insane!! Who buys these LPs - Japanese collectors?

Import Cds have the first 6 (of 25) listed $11.25 for singles & $15.26 for the double http://www.importcds.com/advancedsearch?aar=&aal=&aso=&ala=elemental+music&agn=&afrom=&ato=&afmt_cd=true&afmt_mdvd=true&afmt_lp=true&afmt_sacd=true&afmt_dd=true&afmt_other=true&mod=AM&r=1 I'll be grabbing some of these

Found an excellent detailed breakdown of the session on Noal Cohen's Lucky Thompson Discography site It's already been updated with the new CD/LP releases http://www.attictoys.com/LuckyThompson/Lucky_Thompson_discography3.php (look for Nov 25, 1960) Wow!! this is a killer NDR live in studio session - ranges from trio to octet performances

Looks like it's going to be a reissue of Cadillac LP 1003 (Stan Tracey Alone At Wigmore Hall) with the previously unreleased duo material added Would love Hazel to rerelease (on CD) the Ogun Tracey/Osborne duo session - Tandem: Live At The Bracknell Jazz Festival 1976

cheers The other thread on this site gives Rega turntables a good rap - maybe I should just go for the RP78

I've had the CD on my wants list since reading "The Dark Tree"

AFAIK some of the Daagnim vinyl is still available - bought 2 LP's ("Stars/Air/Stripes" & "Witness" with Prince Lasha) from Dennis a couple of years ago BTW as has already been mentioned, he's a lovely person to deal with I buy the majority of his output directly from him - he also makes CDr's of his early OOP vinyl

thanks for the advice - been doing some searches for the two recommended models (Lenco GL75 or Technics 1210 MKIV) - both are very appealing but trying to track down either in Australia may be a bit of a problem - both a far & few between here I'll keep searching for the time being

Amazon France has the Jimmy Lyons set for 16.47 euros & The Chico Hamilton one for 17.70 euros (once VAT removed) plus shipping (13 euros for both to Australia) - other sets not as cheap as these Interestingly, the most recent batch appears to be more expensive than previous releases

any comments on the 2 Carla Bley releases I'll probably get the live European Tour 77 disc - nice lineup there (tentet including Michael Mantler, Roswell Rudd, Elton Dean, Gary Windo, Hugh Hopper, Andrew Cyrille)

I picked up the SHM CD and compared it to my RVG. The RVG CD was squashed like a pancake from compression and the stereo image is narrowed and quickly generates listener fatigue. Additionally, Aphex Aural Exciter artifacts suggest that Rudy used the device to manipulate and goose up the sonics and results in an artificial splashing of the cymbal across the stereo image in a bizarre phasing effect. The RVG of Morgan's The Gigolo is truly one of Rudy's most awful remasters. In contrast, the SHM CD has a wider sound stage, greater dynamic freedom and more natural cymbal presentation. many thanks - I've added the SHM version to my latest HMV Japan order Aphex Aural Exciter artifacts - what an alliteration - sounds like something from Dr Who (thought you were taking the piss initially but this is real!!)

If you were coming to Brisbane you could have stayed at our place for nix - we have 2 spare bedrooms (children away studying in different cities) Unfortunately Brisbane is approximately 1000kms north of Sydney Those prices don't make sense (that price in October!! did it coincide with a public holiday weekend?) - peak season or even shoulder season doesn't start till November (late I think) & is at its peak in December & January - coincides with the School Holidays (usually commence early to mid December) October is a lovely time of the year here (Spring) - not too hot - just right - perfect motorcycle riding weather Don't come to Australia in January/February - it's unbearably hot (& getting worse - records being broken yearly & bush fires worsening)

Has Morgan's "The Gigolo" SHM been discussed on this thread anyone compared it to the previous RVG (US) & McMaster editions - as far as I can recall the RVG sounded horrible with the McMaster version sounding slightly superior (not sure re the TOCJ versions)
