Thanks, didn't know that. The CD's weren't.

Thanks. Any guidance on the least expensive way for me to get the LP? The least I have been able to find is about $35 shipped to USA so far.

The one missing Billy Harper album for my collection is "Knowledge of Self" (Denon, ca. 1978). I don't really do vinyl anymore. I am having trouble finding this in CD or download format (I just broke my sworn stance against buying downloads, getting the Hannibal Peterson MPS album from Amazon last night. As a consumer I feel ripped off, but as a listener I feel blessed. But would have payed five times the amount for a real CD issue). Any leads on the Harper greatly appreciated, thx.

Did not reaize he wrote "Stomp" and "Masterjam".. Both excellent!

Rod Temperton will always be this great song to me above all else. Archetypal disco. And this one by Temperton and Heatwave is cerrtainly iconic of the disco era:

You're right about that, for sure.

Quality control? Who would have wanted the job of telling RVG that he was getting the Blue Note sound all wrong?

I don't have these, but have dozens of BGO sets, and they consistently have outstanding sound.

Cool!

Up with edits, 70 gone, thanks!

Well, I'll pick off the easy ones. #2 and #11 are parts 1 and 2 of Charles Mingus' "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting" from 'Blues and Roots' (vinyl to boot) with some amazing Booker Ervin, and #4 is some version/edit of James Brown's "Superbad". Much of the rest sounds, er, "unusual". I certainly feel a LOT of freedom for whatever I do in December! I'll listen more and see what else I can come up with, including a unifying theme I assume is there somewhere.

My contribution to help get the 1966 party started

But has there ever been a more important artist year than Dylan in 1966?

Pre-order price is about $150 on Amazon. $4 per disc? I'm definitely in. Following is from superdeluxeedition.com Bob Dylan / The 1966 Live Recordings / massive 36-disc box set September 27, 2016 by Paul Sinclairtags: 1960s, Bob Dylan Sony are to release, The 1966 Live Recordings, a 36-disc Bob Dylan box set that will contain every known recording from his legendary 1966 tour. These recordings are issued here officially from the best available sources (soundboard, CBS Recordings, audience recording). With the exception of the Manchester concert (May 17, 1966) released as The Bootleg Series Vol. 4 in 1998, a pair of songs appearing on the 1985 Biograph compilation and a smattering of others, the overwhelming majority of tracks and performances onThe 1966 Live Recordings are previously unreleased in any format – official or bootlegged – and are being made available now for the very first time. Liner notes have been provided by Clinton Heylin, and each individual CD is housed in a custom sleeve featuring stills from colour film shot by D.A. Pennebaker (see image above). I have it under good authority that these boxes will be very limited, so if you’re genuinely interested then best advice is don’t hang around and get your (UK) pre-order in or US link is now live. Discs 30 and 31 will also be issued as a 2LP vinyl set called The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert (it’s on 2CD as well). The title refers to the fact that for decades, Dylan’s performance in Manchester was incorrectly labeled, ‘The Royal Albert Hall Concert’. Now, for the first time, the REAL Royal Albert Hall concert (originally recorded by CBS Records) is finally being released. The 1966 Live Recordings will be issued on 11 November 2016. The 2CD version of The Real Albert Hall 1966 Concert comes out on the same day with the vinyl version of that release to follow on 26 November 2016.

One of the most interesting early Strata-East recordings (that label was a monster when it started, then fell off a cliff). Two long cuts, provocative front line of Coleman/Jordan/Watkins, the inimitable Harold Mabern on piano. Larry Ridley and Keno Duke holding down the rhythm duties. Two very long (20+ minutes each) tracks giving everyone more room to stretch out than they were likely accustomed to. Not without its flaws, but it has always been a very invigorating listen for me, and I have returned to it often over the 40+ years I've had it, always experiencing substantial pleasure. Great joy of talented players pushing forward rather than looking back, seeking inspiration here ahead of exhibiting craft, which is the opposite of what the principals seemed to do later in their careers. As such, it holds a magic for me beyond what maybe its pure musical merits are (though those also are substantial). Jordan had a great period from the early 60'ss (when he seemed to find his voice with Roach and Mingus) to the late 70's (the great Magic Triangle recordings with Walton/Jones/Higgins), then seemed to start mailing it in to me. Coleman also at some point seemed to give up the quest in favor of the craft, say, late 80's-early 90's. I've always thought his work with Miles Davis was underestimated because of him preceding Wayne Shorter. I'm glad Mabern experienced increased appreciation later in his career, I love his work with Eric Alexander (who is a monster to my ears). Thoughts?

DL please

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream I tend to fast forward through the Garrison and Pharoah solos on the live stuff from that period. And 'Live in Seattle" has always seemed a mess to me (though a pretty fascinating mess), easy enough to see why Tyner and Elvin exited shortly thereafter. "Meditations" really was a miracle, give the confusion of the recordings around it.
