Also, a CD issue of the Elvin Jones session with Lee Morgan that appeared on the "Prime Element" 2LP set. That and a single CD issue of "High Frequency" (available on the McLean Mosaic) and of the 1967 McLean session with Moncur that appeared on the "Hipnosis" 2LP set (available on the Moncur Select) are my primary BN wish list. Secondary are some Lou Donaldson sessions and a Stanley Turrentine session ("In Memory Of") that would enable me to unload those Mosaic boxes. But those are minor quibbles, and we are blessed by how much HAS been made available the past 30 years. Amazing times, with many sets in my collection I never dreamed I'd even be able to hear, let alone own.

Original album running order, but not the original artwork.

The poem at the end of Archie Shepp's "There's A Trumpet In My Soul" is an incredibly moving experience, and Shepp made really good use of the spoken word on other albums such as "A See of Faces".

This looks really good: https://www.allmusic.com/album/we-are-on-the-edge-a-50th-anniversary-celebration-mw0003265563

They were actually traded together from the Indians to the Tigers in a deal that also involved Billy Martin.

Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere here.

Around the same time he was busy recording MOR covers, Tubby Hayes was still indulging his artistic side by playing in a pure jazz mode for sessions held May and June 1969. Hayes, Mike Pyne (piano), Ron Mathewson (bass), and Spike Wells (drums) cut a number of Hayes originals plus covers of Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh’s haunting “Where Am I Going?” and Duke Pearson’s “You Know I Care.” But the tapes have languished in Universal’s U.K. vaults…until now. Grits, Greens and Beans will be released in 1CD, 2CD, and LP formats, as mastered by Gearbox Studios. The single CD has what would have been the final album while the 2CD version preserves all of the session takes. The 180-gram vinyl edition of the 1CD release was created using an original 1960s-era Studer tape machine and a Scully lathe. The CD appears to be encoded in the MQA format (playable on all CD players).

Great sets, great prices, great seller. The Gordon and Hancock sets are beautiful, maybe the nicest packages Blue Note ever released.

And the early albums were meant to be heard in mono. Stereo mixes were niche market afterthoughts with no band involvement.

I'm from Pittsburgh and born in 1954, so this has been in my blood almost my whole life, and bonds me to my ancestors: And there's this...

Looks like Amazon plans to carry it. Already listed for pre-order in USA, and article below says that is coming for Amazon.co.uk https://theseconddisc.com/2019/07/straight-no-chaser-omnivore-collects-art-peppers-complete-artists-house-sessions-on-new-box/

New titles, or just alternates?

I second that evaluation.

I got it from a store in Ann Arbor on a business trip in 1993, right after I got married. It had been traded in, they didn't know what to do with it, sold it to me for like $125. I jumped at the opportunity, even though I couldn't really afford it, having just bought a house and paid for a wedding. Just felt I also couldn't afford to pass on it. Have never regretted it.

I just checked, and it is all on the Complete Galaxy Box, discs 2-4. This new release may (or may not) have better mastering, as that box is 30 years old.

If I'm reading the discography correctly, looks like all of it would be on the Complete Galaxy box (assuming that contains GXY-5148 and GXY-5154). I own that box, so don't need this. I want to put in a good word here for Omnivore Records, who have done exemplary work in their rock reissues of The Dream Syndicate, Game Theory, and others.

Great box. The concert DVD is spectacular, well worth the price alone.

Sounds like a good show. I listened to sample of new album. The singer is not my thing, but I can understand that they are playing honest music on it, hope to pick it up for a fuller hearing some day.

Who was/were the vocalist(s) for the live show?

True. Where possible, I have sold off those sets and bought individual CD's once they were available (still waiting for one Stanley Turrentine title, one Elvin Jones title and a few Lou Donaldson titles to free up those boxes). But I owned a LOT of Mosaic sets 25 years ago, and was so thankful that the material was made available. I never would have dreamed I would someday easily own something like the complete works of Tina Brooks. Figured I would go to the grave without ever hearing things like his 'True Blue' and McLean's 'A Fickle Sonance'.

Agreed, Sebesky did that sort of thing better than anyone, and I enjoy those CTI albums, with Sunflower being one of the best along with Hubbard's First Light and some others.
