Ah, thanks! Perhaps Dad is a bit fuzzy on this. Chuck, what if anything protected the old 10 inch LPs? I never see a paper or plastic sleeve in those, or the really old 45's.... 10" LP's in Australia were housed in plastic sleeves (well the few I have are)

Just thought i'd revive this thread Has anything of significance transpired over the past 5 years regarding the Mythic Sound (plus unreleased) material - was it ever released as a box set (CD or LP) rather than individual CD's or LP's I presume the Paudras recordings are still with the Powell Estate

Colin thanks for the link just nabbed the Johnny Smith Mosaic - good buy & I can live without the box/booklet Also found an Evan Parker OOP Emanem CD (Two Octobers)

pm sent on 1. Dennis Gonzalez – Resurrection and Life (Ayler) 2. Evan Parker/Wes Neal/Joe Sorbara – At Somewhere There (Barnyard) 3. Ivo Perelman/Dominic Duval – Soul Calling (Cadence)

Does anyone have the original LP code/number for Vol 26, The Charlie Parker All Stars (Royal Roost material from March 49) It's not included in the Fitzgerald Charlie Parker Records listing & the Lord Discography also omits it (though does include vols 27-29 ie Historical masterpieces 701A, 701B &b 701C -> all Royal Roost) These 4 discs are all in the Savoy Parker Live 4CD set The Parker material is indeed a mixed/confusing bundle

I have been using CD Japan regularly for the past 2 years (HMV Japan occasionally) Excellent service & shipping costs to Australia are very reasonable Landing the recent "nice price" TOCJ's & Universals (900-1100 yen) for approx Aus 13 dollars

Get the Rare Live Recordings issue (RLR), which is speed-corrected. The Columbia LPs and the other issues I've heard are all mastered at the wrong pitch (too high); after decades of listening to the uncorrected versions, hearing the RLR version was a revelation. The music is just as exciting, but it sounds so much better... mark Does that include the UK 4CD Parker Birdland Box (1995)?

Jonathan thank you so much for the FD's, especially the Tapscott - that was near the top of my RI list - You made my day The Dark Tree & Songs Of The Unsung are in my Jazz reading pile - next on the list once I finish Paudras' book on Powell

Good to see this thread reappear - I made a comment on these upcoming Atlantics on March 23 in the Hiroshi releases thread Looking forward to the Slide Hampton, Art Farmer & Milt Jackson (with Lucky Thompson) releases - hopefully the sound will be better than the Collectables versions

I'm currently reading "Jazz Masters of the 30's" written by Rex Stewart - quite a good writer I must say so - he documents a lot of his own personal reminiscences going back to the early twentieth century Most of the chapters were lifted from articles he wrote for downbeat during the 60's I've just finished the chapter on Ben Webster & though not directly stated I have the impression that the assertion may be supported here I'd forgotten about this thread & googled gay jazz musicians (based on reading the article) & up it popped near the top of the list

What about Kenny Clarke & His 52nd St Boys - Sept 46 NYC Swing session (Epistrophy, 52nd St Theme, Oop Bop Sh'Bam, Rue Chaptal) - can source these titles from the KC CD, Swing Master Takes 46-50 (Jazz Factory) Billy Eckstine Band - National recordings (BE Savoy set - maybe you have this?) Metronome All Stars 1/49 (Overtime, Victory Ball - various versions) - on the Dizzy Gillespie RCA 3CD set Barry Ulanov All Stars 11/47 - on Parker/Tristano Definitive CD - Complete Recordings (CD sound is markedly improved on the vinyl versions I have); also on the "Bird In Time" ESP box

many thanks Jason I had looked on the HMV site & like CD Japan found a number of these but couldn't create a list Where did you find the search criterion WPCR27?

There are 2 batches of Atlantic reissues coming (April/May I think) via Warner Japan (24bit under 1000yen) - have seen them on CD Japan - havn't found a full listing yet but some nice material there Will finally be able to get the Milt Jackson/Lucky Thompson material I've been waiting for Anyone able to source the full release lists?

That's only if you choose the third-party seller fulfilled through Amazon UK option. Unfortunately, they refuse to ship this to the US. Significantly higher price if you choose the direct from Amazon UK option. This set is currently cheapest through Amazon Germany since it is a German product. If you're interested, you can check it out here: www.amazon.de Went for the Deutsch option couple of days ago - The Music Shop via Amazon Germany - total cost was just over 47 euros (33.34 plus 14 shipping to Australia)

Colin thanks for the tip just picked up a couple of LJCO doubles (Portraits & Zurich Concerts) & Derek Bailey's Incus Taps & Dynamics of Impromptu

The Mosaic only used mono tapes for the pieces on Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus. The original stereo masters were missing. The balance of the set is stereo. Thanks for the correction - I always presumed the whole box was mono - just checked a number of the files with audacity & they are indeed in stereo

Checking that link more closely and comparing with my CDs - it seems all of the tracks from the first two sessions that according to the link only found on the Mosaic, are on "Air" (Candid CCD79046) - except for take 5 of "Air", which remains exclusive to the Mosaic set, if I'm correct. That, again according to the site linked above, is just a labelling error - take 5 was a false start, the track labelled take 5 on CCD97034 ("Cell Walk for Celeste") and is identical to take 6 (hence either CCD97034 has takes 4 and 6, and the later is also on CCD79013, "Jumpin' Punkins"). So that leaves one cut ("Air" take 5, from Oct 12) missing from, and one track ("Jumpink Punkins" take 6, once mis-labelled as take 5) duplicated on the Candid CDs. Thanks for that - I stand corrected re tk 5 of Jumpin' Punkins - It does make sense though as I had a listen to the versions last night before I posted & tks5 & 6 did sound very similar

Jumpin' Punkins tk #5 was omitted from the Mosaic box - It was included in Candid CD 79034 - Cell Walk For Celeste IMHO the Mosaic box sounds so much better than the Candid CDs

Can't answer that, but I guess the answer would be the Mingus Candids. I had the Japanese Candids but sold them a long time ago when I got the Mosaic, which has much better sound (at least to my ears) than those Japanese CDs. One of the Candids (can't remember which one) had a very weird stereo effect, which the Mosaic doesn't have. MC used the mono tapes for the Mingus Mosaic set - I think all individual Mingus Candid CD releases are stereo versions

I've been listening to Billy Harper's "On Tour In The Far East - Live, Vol. 3" On the final title "Cry Of Hunger", before the sax enters @ 3:15 there multiple marked gaps of silence (up to 10 secs) during the piano/bass/drums introduction (plus some more after the sax commences). Some of these gaps seem a bit too long to be part of the original performance - maybe I'm wrong? Does anyone else have this on their CD.

Same here. Ditto

Wrote to Michael throughout the 90's & later re the following sets Freddie Roach Mosaic Select (MC didn't think this would be viable) Wardell Gray set Booker Little/Max Roach Candid & Time set -> would have covered Little, Roach, Dolphy, Lincoln, Jazz Artists Guild Hutcherson 60's Mosaic -> he was interested but noted the time for a cut off would be a problem (sometime in the late 60's - 68?)

Have tried to work around the site & it's not easy - trying to get the listing for all of the BS/SN recent box sets is quite a task I had no problems with my Murray return - was bought from UK Amazon & there were no questions asked - maybe they are being inundated with requests? (possibly bogus)

Have a set of gorgeous Grado SR 325's - was recently considering a Grado headphone amp to help boost the sound & read a lukewarm review which at the same time raved about the "NuForce Icon HDP" (high end headphone Amp plus USB DAC & Preamp) For the same price as a Grado Headphone Amp you get a device that is a high end headphone amp has two other functions (these are components that are included in some of the higher end Nuforce HiFi equipment) http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/iconhdp/index.php Running the NuForce with Harmon Kardon Soundsticks/Jellyfish on a 27" iMac - sound is stunning (with & without headphones)

The Woody Shaw Columbia Box is selling for $45.99 with free shipping seems like a good buy for 6CD's looking forward to hearing that extra material
