Ancient memory says it is the only one you need to hear. YMMV. The one with Bill Evans is pretty good also, but I'm not losing any sleep over not owning "Jeremy & The Satyrs".

No problem here, I'll buy the Stieg.

Just as I predicted. On the release date (today), Amazon's price is $123.85 but they're out of stock. However, Marketplace reseller "Germany" (which I believe is actually Membran) has it for $39.30. I bit, even though, if history's any indication, the price just might drop further than that going forward. Amazon resellers Same here. Thanks for pointing this out. It might go a bit lower, but it's hard to imagine a 30 CD set going for much below $30. Shipping is a bit higher for me, but still a good deal considering the alternatives. Ordered mine. Not willing to take the risk of missing this price to see if it goes lower.

Also #1 on my list, and Washington Suite is #2.

PM sent on the Benny Carter and the Duke Ellington Harlem.

Listening to it now. The pauses are in the performance. You can tell by where they occur, and also the liner notes refer to them. If you watch the DVD he recorded in Europe (spectacular in performance and in sound/picture/photography), you will actually see those pauses.

I'll try to dig that one out and listen to it, but I do remember that when he performs that song, he leaves very long, uncomfortable periods of silence in the early and late parts, I believe to punctuate the message. His original recording of that (on the Strata-East 'Capra Black' album) had a chorus on that cut who simply sang "There'll be enough - someday" several times.

Received my set and listened to it yesterday. Fabulous, well done.

That sums up my conclusion too. The LP and CD Mosaic sets will suffice ! The capitalist in me sold off the Mosaic a number of years ago after CBS reissued Rosewood. I figured the rest would be reissued in short order, and boy was I wrong. Same thing on the Larry Young Mosaic.

BTW, this is the daily special at PopMarket, $44.99 with free shipping, until noon. Grabbed me one.

This was noted in a post by another member in the Discography forum, but thought I would also mention here that McNeill's 'Washington Suite' is also now available on CD! These are desert island discs for me, amazing stuff, and a dream come true that they are on CD. Is anyone familiar with a recording by McNeill and Richard Kimball entitled X.TEM.POR.E ? I've not heard it, am not sure if I should lay down $15-20 for it, as it is from about 20 years later, and I did not find McNeill's final Baobab recordings as compelling as the earlier stuff. Also, does anyone know if 'Tanner Suite' is available anywhere in recorded form? There are some clips on youtube. thx

They were part of the ill-fated "Bosstown Sound" hype. The backlash took two great Ultimate Spinach albums down with it.

If Denzel will do the part, the movie can get made. Remember Brad Pitt and "Moneyball". That one wasn't going to ever get made either, cause how can you make a movie about baseball statistics? But it did get made and ended up doing OK

Not exactly Sunshine Pop, sort of its big brother heading towards progressive music, from the same era (1970), and magnificent. The whole album is pretty incredible (the only dud is the "can you dig it" cover of "For What It's Worth", which I bet was the record company's idea). And likely almost no one's ever heard of them. I went out and bought the CD (about $11 with shipping) and am thrilled with it.

No idea on story or producer. It was their only album. The editorial staff at eby/half.com (or wherever they pipe them in from) like it quite a bit: "The Creation of Sunlight album is perhaps the last great musical secret of the sixties. Clearly influenced by the jazzy vocal psychedelia of Strawberry Alarm clock this record is definitive west coast psychedelic sunshine pop; packed with gorgeous harmonies, driving hammond, minor-keyed melodies and eclectic guitar., The self-titled release from CREATION OF SUNLIGHT features 10 remarkable tracks of soft psychedelic rock."

Authentic from the era and fantastic. Amazing harmonies, amazing fuzz guitar and swirling organ, spectacularly spacy lyrics about David floating around the world on a balloon cause "make believe is reality to a child", etc. This is da bomb, my new #1 artyfact of the genre. And chances are, no one has ever heard of them.

I liked/loved them all also, and actually really like the one with Michael Tilson-Thomas ('Apocalypse') quite a bit, think it may well be the best thing ever done in that "with Orchestra" genre. I agree that, in retrospect, 'Birds of Fire' is the most realized of the bunch, but nothing will ever match the shock value of hearing "Meeting of The Spirits" and "The Noonward Race" from 'The Inner-Mounting Flame' for the first time. That was something utterly new and profound to my 17 year old ears.

I do like that one, but Savoy overall had the ugliest album covers I've ever seen. Bizarre graphic images and/or horrendous retouched photography. No wonder John Coates Jr. never recorded for a major label again and scurried back to Bucks County, after what Savoy did to him when he was 18. On the other hand, they did let him record as a trio with Wendell Marshall and Kenny Clarke as an 18 year old. And he held his own just fine, thank you very much.

Currently at $8.00 (not my item, just passing along after looking at the listing) Corea Is listing on Ebay

She and Tony Hatch had a great run of pop records 1965-67, "Downtown", "I Know A Place", "Round Every Corner", "A Sign of The Times", "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love", "My Love", "Who Am I", "Colour My World", "Don't Sleep On The Subway" are all fabulous. "Who Am I" should have a been much bigger hit than it was. Spectacular production on many of these.
