You might want to try this Guido Nielsen 4 CD set: http://www.amazon.com/Scott-Joplin-Complete-Marches-1895-1914/dp/B001UBKHZG/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1422171099&sr=1-4&keywords=guido+nielsen

From reading the Mosaic site I think they have gotten their hands on unsold Universal stock.

Back on last chance: The Complete Verve Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band. Complete Roy Eldridge The Complete Verve Tal Farlow Sessions The Complete Mercury Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet These are Universal sets with a Universal number on the back, but are part of the limited number of sets

The John Carter Bobby Bradford Select is now on the running low list.

The Tony Williams Select and the Lionel Hampton set are now on last chance. Duke Ellington 1936-40 Small Group Sessions is now running low.

It became Windsor during WW I. In the same time Battenberg became Mountbatten.

Very sad indeed. I liked his posts, his blog and chatting with him at the Dr. Jazz Meetings. His 4 2 CD sets with the complete Hit of The Week recordings on Archeophone are a lasting monument for him.

I always found the sound on the Spotlite Lp 's to soft. You had to 'pump up the volume' to hear it well. This puts this set clearly in the picture for me though I already have most of it. I have no trouble with the samples given that the Internet quality will be lower than the actual CD. I prefer the CD's with master takes first and alternate takes at the end of the CD. The Verve Charlie Parker set I find very hard to listen to because of the many false starts and incomplete takes. I love how the Miles Davis/Gil Evans set was programmed.

Savoy has a lot of false starts etc. Dial hasn't .

Mosaic just put the details for their upcomming 9 CD The Complete Dial Modern Jazz Sessions (#260) http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=260-MD-CD Release date late October

Danish Ellingtonian Bjarne Busk who heard all of the stockpile said that there are still about 10 quality CD's that could be produced from the stockpile. Bjarne compiled the My People CD for Storyville.

Yes a great win. Maybe not riding the TdF didn't give him end of season fatigue a lot of riders suffer from and left him with enough energy to beat Tony Martin. I was impressed by fellow dutchman Tom Dumoulin the number 3 only 23 years of age.

The Jazz Crusaders set is gone.

I'm not sure about The Man I Love and Don't blame me. But I think Sirius (1966). Wich I don't have. Wrap your troubles in dreams (Capitol 2-3-45), Until the real thing comes along(Soul 7-11-58), Red beans (Coleman Hawkins With The Red Garland Trio 12-8-59), Trough for the night and Hawk eyes (Hawk Eyes 3-4-1959), I only have eyes for you (Keynote 31-1-44), It's the talk of the town (Capitol 9-3-45). Hope this helps you. Remco

I counted 55 tracks for Columbia/Okeh and 29 for Decca. Not sure how either will fill a set unless sideman sessions like Gulf Coast Seven or Original Jazz Hounds (both Columbia) are included.

Counting the tracks under Condon's name quickly I come to 131 tracks (alternates included). That would be 6 CD's The Bud Freeman sessions for Decca and Commodore add 49 tracks. That would make 8 Cd's in total.

Counting the tracks under Condon's name quickly I come to 131 tracks (alternates included). That would be 6 CD's

Yes it's worth it.

I'll look further this weekend. Nice puzzle.

Provided we are talking about the same album: Listening to the samples on Amazon it seems to me an compilation album. "The midnight sun will never set" is from the Impulse Benny Carter album Further definitions. "I only have eyes for you" is the Keynote recording. "Hawk eyes" is from the Prestige album Hawk Eyes. I didn't go further checking. Remco

Thanks everybody

I have no problems with the sound.

The Duke Ellington single 'The Cosmic Scene' is now oop

I don't claim to have absolute knowlege about this subject but here are my observations: In the early years of the recording industry Victor would re-record a performance by the same artist when a master began to wear. Even when multiple takes were originaly recorded. Presumably at that time they didn't keep takes that were not issued. See Allen Suttons' Cakewalks, rags and novelties. Later Victor recorded 4 takes of every tune one was used for issue. A second one kept, two were scrapped before test pressings were made. Those second ones were issued later in the 1930's or the LP era. See the discographical section in Don Rayno's biography of Paul Whiteman. There a more 1920's/1930's Victor alternate takes by Duke Ellington than from the 1940's. Columbia recorded and kept many Benny Goodman takes in the 1940's. A lot are still around. See the D. Russel Connor/David Jessup Benny Goodman disco's. Though take letters indicate offten more than one take there are very few alternate takes by Bix, Tram or Louis on Okeh. There are a few Brunswick alternate Red Nichols takes that were issued in Canada only. See the Jazz Oracle booklet with the 3 Red Nichols 3CD sets. I don't remember were I read it but sometimes diffrent takes were issued on East and West of the Rockies. The best I can say after a short survey of multiple takes is that there is no general rule for the whole of the recording industry. It differs from label to label and from period to period.

That's my understanding as well. I don't see why a 4:11 performance should be considered remarkable. I don't think it is about editing but about consecutive recordings of the same composition before a satisfactory take was achieved.
