Brel CDs arrived today - as usual, all in beautiful condition

I agree for those rarer/hard to find CDs but I have had the experience of ordering items that are listed to find out that they are OOP/not in stock (eg Charles Tyler, Pere Ubu). Now, before I place an order I contact them to find out if the items are in stock or available (even though they are listed in their catalogue).

The Ogun LP RAMIFICATIONS (Schweizer) hasn't made it to CD yet

I totally agree. Previously discussed here. Thanks - I thought this had been discussed previously This is a recurrent problem I have with the site - searching for old threads - I usually do this via Google & add organissimo into the criteria (other members have also recommended this technique) I did the search & got this thread Maybe the two should be merged?

Just got the new Zappa released Bat Chain Puller CD & the sonics just blow away any of the previous releases This is a must have for any Van Vliet fan & has to be a strong contender for the "Rock" reissue of the year There are three extra tracks (including Hobo-ism) not from the same sessions (unknown date & musicians)

Actually, the CD is still quite easy to find - I recently bought a copy from Import CDs for $11 (they currently have copies in stock - just looked) I find that DMG sometimes "hype" up their stock

thanks Can't imagine this CD will be hard to track down In the liner notes to the Mingus CD "Alternate Takes", Brian Priestley notes that the edited versions should have also been rereleased "It might be instructive - if perhaps uneconomic - to have a fourth CD comprising the originally issued edits, just to remind us how creatively they too were achieved by Mingus"

I'm wondering if the writers of the Spider-Man theme (Paul Webster & Robert Harris) had been listening to Mingus Have been listening to CM's "Ah Um" & the track "Boogie Stop Shuffle" (1959 - written 8 years earlier) sounds similar to "Spider-Man"(1967) Just played "Boogie Stop Shuffle" to my partner (without giving her any history etc) & her first comment was that it sounds like "Spider-Man" - so it's not just me!!

Did the 80's Columbia CD version of Ah Um (Columbia Jazz Masterpieces) contain the edited LP versions? I've listed the unedited times from the later remastered Ah Um CD releases Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - 5:44 (unedited) Boogie Stop Shuffle - 5:03 (unedited) Open Letter to Duke - 5:51 (unedited) Bird Calls - 6:18 (unedited) Pussy Cat Dues - 9:15 (unedited) Jelly Roll - 6:17 (unedited)

Second Hans' opinion about Bessie Smith's recordings. totally agree - I have the Frog set & the Columbia LPs & IMHO the "Frogs" are superior

Hans I've removed it - see what Scott says

Erskine Hawkins would be a good follow up. I was thinking 30s Earl Hines would be a good choice too. I suppose it will be pre Wardell Gray Hines led a big band from 1928 to 1948. Wardell Gray was with Hines during 1943-1945. I was aware of that but I'm wondering if the "choice" years that would comprise the box would exclude the WG period

pm on all the Brels

Yes...VERY nice, thank you. All that hair.....you wonder how they could see what they were doing. Thanks for the link - didn't recognise Barry Guy with the "Baldrick" coiffure

Just picked up this magnificent 6CD solo set from the Lithuanian "NoBusiness" label The Complete Short Stories 1998-2010 2CDs were released on the ESP Productions label (in 1998?) & another 2 on the Slam label, the last 2 most recent recordings are unreleased

Picked this up from Honest Jons

Shawn many thanks have tried this but keep getting a message "you cannot use this extension on this board" after step 4 ie http://www.jazzloft.com/p-36709-the-complete-trio-and-quartet-studio-recordings.aspx Looks like I've sorted it You can only insert images with a .jpg extension. worked that out - thanks

OK they've all been released on CD in some form I suppose I was referring to US Columbia/Sony releases (especially the 2000's legacy remasters)

How do you get pictures/images (CD/LP covers etc) into the discussions When I try they are always miniscule or end up being a link to the pic any hints

Dexter Gordon Steeplechase Trio/Quartet Box

The design of the box/booklet/slipcases looks very much like the Sony "Pop Market" releases - all of the music info is in the booklet - the detail on the disc sleeves is miniscule (you need to be astigmatism free to read these - I even have trouble with glasses) Based on the design, I doubt whether these will be released individually unless the covers/sleeve info are redone.
