You've not heard this reissue or you've not heard the album? Hard to believe the later... it was in the Jazz in Paris series as well as in the Verve 8CD-set. Definitely not Pres' best, but somewhat better than the worst of his late recordings.

Aren't the overdubbed tracks the same as on "Willow Weep for Me"? That one was on CD in the LPR series.

Dylan's Tell Tale Signs 3CD version for 40€ - not *that* cheap but still a whole lot cheaper than what I got it for: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/Bob-Dylan-Tell-Tale-Signs-The-Bootleg-Series-Vol-8-Limited-Edition/hnum/2844175

Mike, do overwrite all fields with zeros... if you just delete tags, some information may still turn up in some players. The zero strategy is the best one I've found so far. Of course do put in some kind of album title and track numbers, as well as some artist name ("Various Artists" or something like that) - otherwise those who listen on MP3-players might not find the tracks there or have to write tags before putting the tracks onto an MP3-player.

Yeah, that was my thought, too... mood music, exotica, instrumental accompaniment to singers etc.

Kind of a disappointing selection there: Disque 1 Michel PETRUCCIANI : Solo Live Disque 2 Ahmad JAMAL : It's Magic Disque 3 Franck AVITABILE : Short Stories Disque 4 Aldo ROMANO : Just Jazz Disque 5 Roy HAYNES : Fountain of Youth Disque 6 Marcus MILLER : Dreyfus Night in Paris Disque 7 Marcus MILLER : Power, The Essential Disque 8 Richard GALLIANO : Piazzolla Forever Disque 9 Biréli LAGRÈNE : Gipsy Trio Disque 10 Adrien MOIGNARD : All The Way Disque 11 Sylvain LUC : Joko Disque 12 Philip CATHERINE : Guitars Two Disque 13 Trio SUD : Young & Fine Disque 14 Rosario GIULIANI : Lennie's Pennies Disque 15 Steve GROSSMAN : Quartet with M.Petrucciani Disque 16 Géraldine LAURENT : Time Out Trio Disque 17 Eddy LOUISS : Trio Disque 18 Didier LOCKWOOD : Tribute To S.Grappelli Disque 19 Anne DUCROS : Close Your Eyes Disque 20 Térez MONTCALM : Voodoo I've got #4, #15 and #16, the only other one I really want is #17 (I've heard it already...)

Forgot about that one - would have mentioned it on my list but when I bought mine it was minus the box (only got the individual CD's & booklet) Same here... and even got that one used from another bored member.

No link yet... the covers aren't officially displayed on the site yet, either. The pics were there in advance for the previous boxes, too... once you've figured out the URLs, you can just enter the next numbers (13 boxes out so far, so #14 is next).

Ramblin' on My Mind - A Collection of Classic Train and Travel Blues (Milestone MLP-3002)

The Harry Miller set on Ogun hasn't yet been mentioned. It's a notch below my favorite avantgarde box-sets, but there's still some pretty great music on it!

sorry that he had to endure Grace Kelly at his 90s b-day party... r.i.p.

another one bought a couple of hours ago... dirt cheap, and in pretty fine condition: Road Show - Stan Kenton and His Orchestra, June Christy, The Four Freshmen (Capitol STBO 1327)

my first original Jazzland LP... not in great condition but for a rather acceptable price - and the sound is terrific! The Soulful Piano of Junior Mance (JLP 30) front cover of mine looks much worse than above, back is better, vinyl is clean enough but in silent parts there's plenty of pops and clicks... still, Ben Tucker's bass comes through wonderfully!

Btw, there are a few very interesting art exhibitions going on in Basel - haven't seen them yet: http://www.kunstmuseumbasel.ch/en/home/ http://www.fondationbeyeler.ch/en/Home You'll need to take the tram to get to the second, but the first one is right in the centre (and they've got an amazing collection, parts of which are on display permanently). Not sure if that's of interest to you at all, just thought I'd mention it in case!

Production is by the same gang who did the SagaJazz discs (which had some very fine releases and good presentation - but again mostly aimed at the cheapo market), and part of that gang was involved with the "Jazz in Paris" series, I think. Got the Bechet today and it looks great! The production credits are: Text & Music Selection: Fabrice Zammarchi English Translation (of Zammarchi's ca. 12 page essay): Martin Davies Illustration Research: François Lê Xuân Discography: François Lê Xuân & Fabrice Zammarchi Mastering: Studio 101 Art Direction & Design: Hervé Imbault & Pascal Béjean for Les Télécréateurs Production Coordination: Anne Carlier & Claude Chabane Geneeral Coordination: François Lê Xuân Legal Coordination: Christellee d'Almeida & François Clarou Supervision: Yann Ollivier and among the people to whom "thank yous" are given are Daniel Richard, Alain Tercinet, Daniel Nevers and the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies To me, it all looks splendid - and it's obscenely cheap. I've got the Ella on the way, too. Don't need the others, but hey, the Bird might be nice for daily listening, after all... so might the Satchmo and the Billie, although I'm going for the Frémeaux by Armstrong and have all of the Billie and Bird.

Part of the Threadgill are brilliant but to me it wouln't quite rank as a favorite (I have higher hopes for the Mosaic, which I don't yet own)... neither does the Taylor... maybe the Dixon, but I still need lots and lots of time for that! And indeed presentation isn't all that much, alas. I like the mini-lp covers alright, but those with generic back-covers are just too bad. Faves of mine: the Lyons box from Ayler the Ayler box from Revenant the Art Ensemble Nessa box both Brözzimann boxes (the Okka and that recent 5CD set) Miles "On the Corner" (if it qualifies) Ornette Atlantic Coltrane Village Vanguard (again, if it qualifies) Andrew Hill Mosaic (the big sucker - if it qualifies) Taylor Codanza (don't have the FMP, alas) Blue Notes Ogun (has 5CDs, btw) can't yet list the Braxton Mosaic and the Carter/Bradford Select as I still need to really dig deeper into them.

I heard amazon has some stock of Nessa rekkids to give away

Very interesting, thanks again! I do have that Nino Rota thingie, although on LP and only listened to once several months ago when I found it... pretty nice one! Also have the Murray and the Ferguson, too... and probably should have recognized the Cootie track if I had listened to it a few times.

Errors when playing them on a CD player or errors when ripping them? I guess it's as Mr. Sangrey has put it so well in some other thread: you get what you pay for...

(the Definitive sets seem to be MP3 sourced!)

That looks mighty good! Where did you find the listing? (sorry, didn't see the tiny post above the large one...)

Monday: Miles Davis - The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions Miles Davis - The Complete In a Bitches Brew Sessions Tuesday: Miles Davis - The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions Today: Miles Davis - The Complete Fillmore Sessions 1970 (not sure I'll make it through all of them, not even sure I have each and every one, but this is glorious stuff!)

If anyone ever sees a homeless Roulette Studio set, please get in touch... I'd be happy to grant asylum

Not the beginning of the end, not even the end, this seems like the aftermath... Yes indeed. It's really ridiculous... even most of those new RCA/Columbia boxes (Wayne Shorter, Sam Cooke, Nina Simone etc) are being sold for ridiculous prices. On the other hand, you get the super deluxe crap, ridiculously price on the other end of the spectrum (they had several copies of the Miles BB Anniversary box for 300 - effin' gimme a break, 300! - swiss francs in a store here... and I'm sure some rich guys paying no taxes bought them).
