The Tyrone should be a 2-CD set with the train wreck as CD 2. It will be my first order of business when Don Was retires and I take over. Apparently they were also drunk for Speak No Evil. Why is that one not a trainwreck?

Love Dance and Double Exposure are two titles I have been hoping would come out on CD for years. Concord found a fresh way to piss me off by making them LP-only.

LP only?

There was talk that it may actually be a Bud Powell tune.

Gift shop had no CDs but they just a announced at least two gigs I want to see.

Planning on Lovano and Pelt but way too early to buy tickets. I will also go to the Cookers if I am in town. Bummed that I already have a ticket for something else on 11/12. Would have liked to see the Army Blues. I worked with them on a Herbie Nichols Big Band project. But a lady I know said she got a ticket for a gig on 11/12. Any pseudo-date works for me as dating is going nowhere.

Is there a paperback?

Why are you always picking fights with me? I'm not making this up. I'm done with this Board. Bye everyone.

When did the previous release come out? If it was before 2003, the discussion would have been on the Blue Note board. I know I am not dreaming. I was waiting for a second, corrected pressing but the set went OOP real fast. Speaking of that, whatever happened with the Kenny Dorham Brooklyn set? Did Resonance ever admit there was a problem?

It was definitely discussed at the time, possibly here. I did not make it up, especially the part about the CDr replacement.

Why do these press releases always downplay the CD reissue as if they were embarrassed by them?

I remember that now. I never got the US box set because, IIRC, one of the CDs was defective on all copies and rather than repress it, Sony just sent people CDrs which I thought was pathetic. I assume this will be a new pressing, but will wait a bit to see for sure. I have the highlights, and an earlier single CD called Cookin' at the Plugged Nickel. I also downloaded the entire set for free from my Public Library, a service called Freegal. I believe it is technically legal, it is a subscription system they pay into. The labels are OK with it, especially Sony, although I doubt the Artists would be if they knew. I got a lot of out of print recordings this way, and also bought quite a few after as physical CDs because I liked them so much.

What edits are you referring to?

Thanks. The new fad is for press releases to only mention the LPs.

No CD???
