3x4 sounds fun to me,

I know that, so did the Oneders . Doesn't change my point. They used to sell those sort of knock-off albums in grocery stores. 99 cents or whatever, which was actually a decent chunk of change ca. 1964.

Liverpool Beats, Rutles, whoever, all enjoyable to me! I'll easily take either of them over "The Long and Winding Road" or "Octopus's Garden" or "Blue Jay Way" or "Within You Without You". This is my favorite of the recreations. Also maybe my favorite "B" movie of all-time. For the whole thing to work, they needed to come up with a song and performance that sounded like it coud/would have been a big hit in 1964, and they succeeded beautifully.

I think many of us probably cut our musical teeth on that music. I actually go MUCH deeper than the Searchers on this, well into the Merseybeats, the Swingin' Blue Jeans, and beyond.

My understanding has long been that the group took their name from the movie, though that may be urban legend.

Lifelong favorites of mine. "Needles and Pins" and "When You Walk in the Room" are subjectively THE two British Invasion records to me, even more than the Beatles records. I have a ton of stuff by them already, but look forward to that "Complete Pye Recordings" box coming out in April. And the 1979-1980 Sire material is fabulous, should have been a huge hit.

Wanted: Disc 2 of Deep Purple Shades 1968-1998 box set. Longshot, I know.. I bought this used, and the second disc arrived cracked. Please let me know of any leads on how I can fill in the need for the second disc in this 4CD set, thanks. Would also love to acquire their 6CD "Listen, Learn, Read On" box at a good price.

Agreed, both of those Teddy Charles Atlantic titles are superb, as are some of the other albums he did in that era.

I'll also probably pre-order in the hope of supporting similar sets in the future.

Well, Mosaic is betting it is at least 2500.

I've heard very little Mecca, but do like this one quite a bit:

They actually released those titles twice on CD in the USA, original McMasters and RVG's. One had the original albums (RVG) the other had sessions isolated (McMaster).

Rooster, remember our discussion about the Woody Shaw Muse set and willingness to pay for respectful presentation of important material. If you really really love Blue Note and have the means, you don't want those cheapo five CD sets. If you're just liking/interested, that is the way to go. I own dozens of those sets for rock/soul/fusion stuff, like J.Geils Band, Roberta Flack, Passport, Jean-Luc Ponty etc. Woody Shaw or classic Blue Note, I want something nicer.

This material is very very different from Tome VI. I greatly prefer this.

I love the albums on this one and the Blue Notes, amazing, underheralded stuff.

Yeah, I own the Jackie McLean for the one (extraordinary) session that never made it to CD otherwise, and the Elvin Jones for the same reason plus one or two other sessions that were on Japanese CD for about 5 minutes. Also own the individual Blue Note CD's of all the other sessions on those two boxes.

I'm glad this is coming out (and that Mosaic shows life and is returning to Blue Notes), but I prefer my Blue Note music on individual CD's when I can do them that way, and have all of the Mobley's from that era. Seems to capture and hold more of the magic for me when I have the original covers, liner notes ,etc. And I have always thought that Patrick Roques did Reid Miles Blue Note covers even better than Reid Miles did.

Somebody could do this right today, since they know how to go the necessary 81 minutes or whatever on a CD. They could have done it right then by adding a second CD, Taking two minutes out of "Blue" is worse than leaving off another cut. Me, I would have dropped "Parted" if I had to fit it onto one CD in 199x.

Wikipedia got it right, but I would always start in discogs for this type of question. From Wikipedia: On 9 November 2018, remixed and expanded editions of The Beatles were released. These sets feature 50 previously unreleased recordings of songs from the album, in addition to the Esher demos recorded at Harrison's house.[179] The four editions are: a three-CD deluxe set, containing the original double album and one CD of Esher demos; a seven-disc super deluxe edition, which adds three CDs of outtakes and a Blu-ray disc; a two-LP edition, comprising the original release; and a four-LP edition, two discs of which contain Esher demos.[180] Following the announcement of these editions in September, a preview containing three versions of "Back in the U.S.S.R." was released on Spotify[181] and iTunes.[182]

That one is complete. The one Fantasy released in the US is missing one cut, Du(Rain), which is really annonying, given that they had room for it. BTW, for the uninitiated, these albums were, to me, Andy Bey's finest moment.

And that (fabulous) Bartz set has been out since 1997.

Momox has incredibly poor ratings on ebay, about 90% satisfaction (many large sellers are close to 100%, for instance get_imports is 99%). I don't think they are deadbeats, as sometimes I have had shipments from them show up months later. I just think there is some sort of systematic glitch getting stuff from Germany to USA addresses (regardless of which postal service/customs office is to blame).

declutter is actually US-based, formerly estocks-usa. Huge into recycling push.

Warren Smith was an incredibly talented and underrated rockabilly musician.
