Unfortunately, not having really become aware of the international game until the early 1970's, I never got to see him play when in his prime. But I still got to see him play! I've forgotten how old he was when he joined the NASL, but he still had a few tricks left.

I hope not. I think that's a pretty bad album. Kessel's playing got rather sloppy in some ways (IMO) in his later years. If they are in fact bringing back titles that had been dropped, I hope they'll reissue Joshua Breakstone's Contemporarys.

Obviously a trick. It's not really an attractive woman circa 1940... it's a recent shot of Michael Jackson.

So, was this stuff from Always Something There and The Look of Love? Or is it possible there's BN Stanley I don't have? Enquiring minds need to know! ← Dan, there is BN Stanley that you don't have. Here's the deal. As I said, there is material on this twofer that hasn't been reissued since (and not before, so it's never been released anywhere else than on this twofer, afaik). Here's the breakdown: 1963-10-21 - cherry point,one o'clock jump (from “A Chip Off The Old Block”) 1964-01-24 - trouble #2 (from “Hustlin”) 1967-02-17 - she's a carioca (ela e carioca),samba do aviao (song of the jet),night song (theme from Golden Boy) - all previously unissued. 1967-06-23 - bonita, better luck next time, flying jumbo - all previously unissued. 1968-04-15 - smile (from “The Look Of Love”) 1968-10-01 - little green apples (from “Always Something There”) 1968-10-28 - those were the days,song for bonnie (from “Always Something There”)

Did you do that on purpose? ← I did. I googled Cullinan (hey, this game has its educational side, too), and went for the "Tex & Coe" connection. In fact, it only just occurs to me that I matched on "Joe". Anyway, I tend to use Google a lot after your posts here. ===== Mercy Dee Walton Dee Dee Bridgewater E. E. Cummings

I don't have a list, but just wanted to mention that there were BN 10" albums which had earlier CD releases, before those Conns and before the RVG's, such as the Art Blakey / James Moody "New Sounds"; Wynton Kelly's "Piano Interpretations". Those were released in 1991. Of course, there was also material from some BN 10"ers that was released in the form of the 12" versions (Horace Silver, Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson...).

Peter, my disc (which is blue and white as opposed to blue and silver, fwiw) has "Blue Note is a registered trademark of Capitol Records, Inc, © 1995 near the bottom of the text on the label. It's possible that I bought this used, which makes me wonder if I have a marriage of two different issues. BTW, my booklet has no copyright date on the back. John, good question...

Jack, that was my recollection as well (in general). The Dexter twofer was an example. The odd thing is, much of the material on the Turrentine had its only release (afaik) on that twofer. And it's really good, IMO. I never had many of the others (JOS, Hubbard, Corea, etc).

Some of the "Blue Note Reissue Series" twofers had the light brown covers (I'm another who first encountered some great music that way... Rollins' "More from the Vanguard", Wes' "Beginnings", etc), but some had those weird "extreme magnification" photo covers... black with multicolored dots. I know there are scans of the brown ones at Gokudo... can't remember if the other type are there. I'll have to look. Anyway, I still have the Stanley Turrentine twofer with a lot of material (arranged by Duke Pearson in the late 60's) that hasn't been reissued since (not on CD). I remember having a Dexter twofer from this series, but it was all stuff that had been out on his BN albums (all of which I bought later). Apparently the designer of this other twofer series was named Bob Cato.
