RIP George will have another listen to "Mental Cruelty" for you

Joy Spring is actually Daahoud (they've made a mistake) hopefully this will sound better than the RLR version - doubt if this version came from the original VOA tapes (probably a radio broadcast or an audience tape)

I have those on the Blue Notes/Frank Wright disc. Plays but is totally un-rip-able on any computer drive. Might be time for Ogun to re-consider their packaging. I replace those crappy plastic sleeves (which I blame because they easily tear and dust or whatever gets in an casues those lines which are scratches) with paper sleeves now, but it's too late on that one. This is really too bad! I love Ogun but I hate stuff like this! Guess the regular jewel case ain't too bad an idea, after all. I use the cellophane inner sleeves (buy from Sound Source in the US who get them from Japan) - thin & very protective

Thanks

Which of these was the original/earlier cover? have seen both of these listed as 6023

another sad ending - living out of a van in his final years (like Sly) His memory will live on for me - was only listening to "Absolutely Free" yesterday RIP RAY - "Memories of El Monte"

loved her name - it was so distinctive RIP Jayne

Oh No! RIP Fontella

Havn't heard of the Wayne Shorter "Without A Net" Blue Note - priced at three times that of the other BN releases - is it a compilation?

sent an email to Challenge today - see what they have to say Other anomaly that I've detected ICP CD 049 had a 12th "bonus" track (video of "Steigerpijp") that is not present on CD 049 in the box just received a reply regarding 1) Misha DVD, 2) ICP 049 & 3) cassette 017 To answer your questions: 1. The broadcasting company who owns the rights to this dvd did not allow ICP or us to replicate this disc for the boxset. We felt we wanted to offer a replacement instead and came across these never before released recordings of the concert with ASKO. 2. ICP049 was an exact copy of an original CD provided to us. There is no knowledge of a 12th track with us or the people from ICP who worked on this box with us. 3. You are the second person to imply these cd's are the same. It could be that for the original casette the decision was made to have the same audio put on side B as well, but ICP could not (yet) confirm if this is correct.

Don't have the cassette. Although they are the same composition I haven't listened to more than about a minute of both, so they could diverge in terms of the improvisation. Disc 2 sounds more distorted, though, and that is a definite difference. I must say that as much as I enjoy it this is an inconsistently curated box and there will probably be more mistakes popping up as people who collected the catalog over the years go through their boxes. I've opened both discs with audacity & the wave forms appear "identical" - also each side of the cassette, AFAIK, had different sources (live localities?) & weren't the same improvised title

My box finally arrived yesterday (long haul to Australia) - no damage though the sleeved discs were scattered through the box - the "insert/CD cradle" wasn't doing it's job - sorted that problem by glueing (bookbinding glue to the flaps) it into the box -> now sturdy & CDs stay in place I'm quite impressed with the general design - outer box is sturdy, cover artwork is legible - the book is a real treat - photographs accompany most of the recording sessions (live & studio) Only listened to the first 2 discs so far - happy with the SQ (long way to go though) slowly transferring the set to itunes - Unfortunately I've detected a fault -> discs 19 & 20 are identical ie the Mengelberg/Bennink double "Coincidents" (discs 19 & 20 - both ICP 017, both with virtually identical timing) - was originally released as a cassette (ICP #17) - I presume each disc is a side of the cassette - not sure if they have doubled up on side A or B - anyone out there with a copy of the cassette. No, I havn't been given the same disc twice - each disc is labelled # 19 & 20 respectively - i presume we will all have the same error (or was the cassette also like this too?).

Intakt too? I hadn't heard that. Where are Intakt CDs on sale?? Cadence (Klompfoot) had a 24hr sale - unfortunately it finished on the 12 Dec

A long rewarding life & a great musical ambassador "East meets West"

OMG - just saw the thread/news what a long & great life - to think he originally wanted to be a Veterinarian he transcended jazz with "take 5" - how many people not versed in jazz know that tune

Just ordered a copy from Dusk Fire

Thanks again Ricky

Of the total of 13 titles on this double LP, 11 definitely have made it to CD One definitely has not plus the second is dubious 1. Honeysuckle Rose (10:00) 2. not sure about Shuffle Boil (5:26)(supposedly from Jan 30, 1964, according to Lord) - the early 2000's CD version of It's Monk's Time contained an "unreleased" take #5 of Shuffle Boil running at 4:52 -> could this actually be the same title (timing out a bit though) Someone needs to listen to both versions (I don't have the LP) & report back As 'Always Know' has been available on CD on a French release, I guess that means that all 13 have been available on CD. I am looking at my copy of the double CD as I write this. EDIT: On a cursory listen, the 'Shuffle Boil' on 'Always Know' sounds different to both versions on 'Monk's Time' Well wadda u know - never knew it had been released on CD (~1994, France) Thanks for that info Steve Just did a quick check -> going for £80+ on UK Amazon, $38+ on US Amazon, absent on Amazon France or Ebay at those prices it would be better to pick up the LP & digitalise it yourself for just the one or two tracks

I've been ordering regularly from Cadence since the late 90's - have always done it (even the specials) via email - send them a list of what I want; they have my cc details & address & presto!

here's what I got on Nov 16 ICP Box Update We are almost at the finish line! When you are reading this email, your reserved copy of the ICP box is being packed after which it will be shipped off to Han Bennink so he can personally mark it.

If you have any questions about the process, please email us at info@challenge.nl. The ICP box team

I've been eyeing that one since it's release but havn't nabbed it yet Thanks for starting this thread Colin - great idea regarding the Lithuanian No Business label - I buy directly from them -> send an email order then pay with Paypal after a confirmation recently picked up the Howard Riley solo box from them -> wonderful material the label is planning to release next year the "Melodic Art-Tet" (Charles Brackeen & Ahmed Abdullah) (70's) Also directly buying from the Polish Not-Two label (carries Multikulti & Kilogram labels too) - picking up most of the Vandermark & Evan Parker releases (I think I may be getting the Resonance Box set as a Christmas present - my partner received a box/package from poland yesterday - she couldn't remember what is was, opened it in front of me & very quickly closed it. In those short few seconds I spied the Resonance Box!!!)

I only have the Chet Baker release - I remember buying it directly from the Dutch Jazz Archive & not through a linked dealer as appears to be the case now - I emailed the Archive & ordered the CD using Paypal on their advice. I'm quite sure that when the Baker CD was released you could only buy it from this site.

Cadence currently have a 50% sale on all new books for all you Sun Ra fans out there time to get the essential omnibus "The Earthly Recordings of ..." at half price - normally $61 here's the link http://tinyurl.com/bv4c5ff

The album is listed as being produced by Max Roach. interesting connection - wonder who has the tapes now - Larue?
