I did, too. And when I listen to "Om" and "Live in Seattle", McCoy seemed totally not into it, so I think Alice was the right pianist for the final stretch. And I like her own stuff also - she didn't sound like anyone else on any of her instruments.

$110 pre-order price on Amazon. 2 CD set at $90 less is good for me.

What are people's overall impressions of the new Getz set? Essential? Not essential, but nice to have? Well done? Getz is "on" or "off" overall that night?

Keef Hartley Band, but somehow there is now audio of their set. LOL!

Some cuts by both have been out before. Creedence had cuts on the 25th and 40th boxes. BST had one cut on the 40th box. Both, of course, are on the new sets, and the full CCR set has just been released on a standalone CD. There were a lot of money issues around Woodstock, for sure. May have been "peace and love" for some of the attendees, but it was a gig for the musicians and their management. Some who did seem to lift their game are Havens, Sweetwater, Sommer, Johnny Winter, maybe TYA ( have not heard their whole set), but it seems like most of the musicians just did their set amidst the chaos, and a few (Hendrix, CSNY) were really quite subpar.

The payout to Keef Hartley is shockingly low. They had to come over from the UK, and there were quite a few band members in the group at that time, including the great Miller Anderson.

It's the one that just came out.

Reason enough to keep the 1994 box then, an authentic record of the fake original releases! Read the article - very interesting and very very tragic.

Did a little research on the new Woodstock sets. The 38-CD, $800 extravaganza has 1733 minutes of music and 439 minutes of announcements. The 10-CD $110 set has 702 minutes of music, and I'm guessing around 80 minutes of announcements. So if you just factor music, you are paying 16 cents/minute for the music on the 10-CD set. On the margin then, you are paying another $690 for another 1031 minutes of music, or 67 cents/minute for the additional music, minus whatever the additional announcements and the package trinkets are worth to you. Want to factor out the music that has already been available in previously released individual artist sets at some point, as I believe I have all of those (except the new Creedence). 67 minutes of music appears on the 2009 6-CD set which does not appear on the 2019 10-CD set. Have not compared the 4-CD 1994 set or the original Woodstock/Woodstock II sets.

I always check theseconddisc.com and superdeluxeedition,com for upcoming non-jazz reissues. Great sites. One us USA-based, the other UK-based, so they often have different radar out.

He eats more chicken than any mom ever seen.

I just got home from work and played this. Wow. My daughter disapprovingly called out "what's that?", but my 17-month old grandson came over and started dancing to it!

Strongly agree. That was the one where the earth shifted.

38 CD set nowhere on my radar in current config/price range. Spotify has some interesting Woodstock full sets by Tim Hardin and others that have not been available on CD. And I'll eventually pick up the CD of the Creedence set that just got released. Sometime it would be interesting to do an analysis of what audio is unique to that 38-CD set beyond the full disc of stage announcements and crowd noises. https://theseconddisc.com/2019/08/try-and-get-my-soul-free-full-sets-from-woodstock-festival-emerge-on-digital-and-streaming-services/

I'm sure I'll be in for the 2CD set, nothing more (deluxe is too expensive), nothing less (I don't do vinyl, and single CD is almost as expensive as the 2CD set). Below info is taken from this link: http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/the-beatles-abbey-road-reissued-for-its-50th-anniversary-across-six-formats/#more-151776 The Beatles / Abbey Road reissued for its 50th anniversary across six formats August 8, 2019 by Paul Sinclair 3CD+blu-ray box • 3LP vinyl • 2CD deluxe • vinyl picture disc • 5.1 & Dolby Atmos surround mixes • Two discs of outtakes in both CD and vinyl sets The Beatles‘ 1969 album Abbey Road will be reissued for its 50th anniversary in September. All six physical formats offer a brand new Giles Martin (& Sam Okell) stereo mix and for the first time all the bonus sessions are available on vinyl and CD. Full format details below… The 3CD+blu-ray super deluxe edition delivers Giles Martin’s new stereo mix on CD 1 with two further CDs of outtakes and unreleased rarities (‘sessions’). A blu-ray audio is the fourth and final disc and it delivers two separate surround sound mixes – a standard 5.1 and a Dolby Atmos mix (along with a hi-res stereo version of the new Giles Martin stereo mix). The super deluxe is packaged as a luxury hardcover book which slots into an outer slip case. There’s plenty of text with some wonderful photos (many by Linda McCartney). Unlike The White Album package this is a square 12″ x 12″ set. As well as the standard vinyl LP of the album remix, a 3LP vinyl box is offered which includes all the sessions (from the two CDs in the super deluxe) in their entirety. A 12-inch vinyl picture disc is the third vinyl option available. Additionally, a 2CD deluxe edition offers the new stereo mix on CD 1 with an alternate version of the album (drawn from the sessions) on disc two. A single CD with the stereo mix of the album will also be issued. Abbey Road was recorded in 1969 after Let It Be, although as is now reasonably well known, the album was actually released seven months before Let It Be, on 26 September 1969 (largely because no one could face the arduous task of going through those Let It Be tapes and trying to salvage an album out of them). Incredibly, work on songs that would end up on Abbey Road started just three weeks after the Let It Be sessions finished at 3 Saville Row. The fact that one-time ‘fifth Beatle’, Billy Preston, was still around for the recording of ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)‘ – in Trident Studios – underlines that fact. A different take of this song, with Billy letting loose at the end, is one of the outtakes included in the super deluxe and 3LP vinyl. Other bonus material of interest (let’s face it, it’s ALL of interest) includes Take 7 of the non-album track ‘The Ballad Of John And Yoko‘ – The Beatles’ last UK number one (and the only one to feature just John Lennon and Paul McCartney playing on it) – and an alternate reading of that song’s B-side, the George Harrison composition ‘Old Brown Shoe‘. McCartney’s solo demo for what would become Mary Hopkin’s ‘Goodbye‘ shows man and guitar at the peak of his powers. This much bootlegged recording – which has the air of a classic knocked off in his lunch break – is finally officially available on this Abbey Road set, as is George’s demo of ‘Something.’ That song was Harrison’s first single A-side, and while it won an Ivor Novello award it also became the first Beatles’ single not to reach either #1 or #2 in the UK singles chart since ‘Love Me Do’ peaked at 17 back in 1962 (‘Something’ stalled at #4). The demo of ‘Something’ has already appeared on Anthology 3 of course, although this is a different mix. Talking of which, very little Abbey Road related material from Anthology 3 has been repeated here – ‘Something’ (along with Paul’s demo for ‘Come and Get It’) is the exception rather than the rule. So for example, take 1 of ‘Because‘ features in the new Abbey Road sets but the ethereal acappella version from Anthologyisn’t anywhere to be found. The two discs of ‘sessions’ also includes three versions of ‘Her Majesty‘ (originally a ‘hidden’ track, of course), a 30 July ‘trial edit/mix’ of ‘The Long One’ which would become the famous medley (at this stage ‘Her Majesty’ was still slap bang in the middle of the sequence) and alternate takes of ‘You Never Give Me Your Money,’ ‘Here Comes The Sun‘ and ‘Oh! Darling‘. The blu-ray audio that comes in the four-disc super deluxe edition of the Abbey Road 50th anniversary reissue features not only the standard 5.1 mix, but also a Dolby Atmos mix. The latter was also created for Sgt. Pepper in 2017 but not completed in time for inclusion with the super deluxe of the 1967 album. Despite Dolby’s claims that Atmos mixes work fine on standard 5.1 set-ups, we basically have the best of both worlds here. Finally, a vinyl picture disc of Abbey Road is released at the same time as the four other physical formats. With Sgt. Pepper it followed a few months later. It’s worth noting that the original stereo mix of Abbey Road doesn’t appear anywhere on any of the formats (there was no mono mix). The 50th Anniversary editions of Abbey Road are released on 27 September 2019.

Actually haven't played it yet. Getting very good reviews. The Amazon shipping info would suggest that they are currently out of stock, waiting for a rerun to provide them copies. ImportCD's has it for basically the same price. https://www.importcds.com/woodstock-back-to-the-garden/603497851706

Used copy of Sonny Rollins - The Complete Prestige Recordings. 7CD box set $25.00 + $3.50 shipping. One copy available. I am not the seller. https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/982263422

Thanks. That works well for me (I don't do vinyl), though I'm sure some board members are disappointed to hear that. But we need to give huge thanks that this release is happening at all!

Will this release be generally available? Da Bastids (Dustygroove) in Chicago show it as pre-release, so presumably they plan on carrying it. Looking to avoid astronomical shipping fees to USA. I fully agree with you on context, etc. on a well-done physical set bringing massive added value.

There were a lot more of the Prestige twofers than the Blue Note twofers. I loved the McLean "Jacknife" session, which had never been released before. Awesome recording of "On The Nile"/

I love the Monterey Pop Festival documentary. It and Don't Look Back are timeless.

No, I suspect you have it right, and I probably confused the Jones-Lewis with the Turrentine. I never owned either of them, or anything else in that series. Somebody with the Jones-Lewis Mosaic box could confirm (I have owned it twice, but sold it back off both times).

I sort of remember that about the Turrentine, but didn't pay attention to that one during the day. The Jones-Lewis had stuff that didn't make it out until the Mosaic, from what I remember.

Those were from much earlier. The one which had unique material was the Jones-Lewis. That is a GREAT album. I don't own it, but have heard it online. There but for the grace of God go each of us.
