Yeah... so Dorn being incosistent on the 32Jazz reissue would be kind of a weird homage to the Atlantic LP? ;-) But that's my best guess, too! Anyway it would be weird for Collectables to duplicate the same "newly found" tunes in their reissue... or would they have gotten the same remaster fron 32Jazz?

Thanks for the suggestion... but that's a bit pricey - maybe someone who owns it can check? Or someone can check if the latest/online issue of Lord's discography has any additions?

Wayne Shorter: Complete Columbia Albums Collection
king ubu replied to crisp's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
I've only heard very little of this, so it will definitely be of interest! -
I'm starting to explore Hank Crawfords early Atlantics beyond his albums with Ray Charles and "More Soul" which I've been familiar with for a while... so I got the 32Jazz 2CD set "Memphis, Ray and a Touch of Moody" (quite fitting a title, methinks) as well as three Collectables twofers (one has his "The Soul Clinic" paired with Leo Wright's "Blues Shout", the others are "Dig These Blues/After Hours" and "True Blue/Double Cross"). Checking the Bruyninckx discography, there's something weird about the second session for "Dig These Blues" (New York, December 10, 1964). Bruyninckx says there were three titles recorded (actually four, but an untitled blues remains unissued): 8392 These Tears 8393 Dig These Blues 8394 The Crazy Saloon 8395 untitled blues (unissued) 8392/3/4 were released on Atl LP1436 ("Dig These Blues"), but according to Bruyninckx, only 8393 is on the 32Jazz 2CD set. At the end of the third session for the album, there's a not stating that: [..] "Memphis, Ray and a touch of Moody"; this set includes two possibly unissued titles, "Banana Head" and "It's a Sin". So the two tracks missing from the album (These Tears, The Crazy Saloon) were replaced by Joel Dorn for his 1997 2CD set with two others (Banana Head, It's a Sin)? So far so good, but now the Collectables disc I got (COL-CD-7659 from 2004) also contains those two tracks and omits the original two again! The original liners that are (partly?) reprinted in the Collectables twofer mention "The Crazy Saloon" ("there is the easy rocking, invitation-to-kicks of...") as well as "These Tears" ("And then there is even a touch of rockabilly, laced with wryness, in..."). The liner notes of the 32Jazz set list "Banana Head" (#15) and "It's a Sin" (#17) as the name of the titles (on disc two), but in the discographical listing two pages earlier, the tunes are called "The Crazy Saloon" and "These Tears". Anyone knows more about this? Are those just variants of titles? Some funny goof?

Ah well, guess I'll skip... some of these may stay in the 5£ range (some have, for a while, it seems) and there's not really enough to pique my interest. Will grab the Garrick and Rendell eventually and get some more Kirchin, too (all I have so far is one Trunk disc, that Industrial North one... pretty great!)

This album consists of 38 of my absolutely most favorite minutes of music ever recorded - any style. If I could only keep 10 albums, this might be one. It's been a while that I took that Mosaic out of the shelf, but if only for the cover, I had to get this one! It was marked 16 CHF (about 14$ currently, but it feels a lot less to me) but I ended up getting it for 10! Don't, whatever you do, head over to the Vocalion thread... I'm rather out of danger as I'm more or less up to date there... excepting the new releases which are understandably not part of the sale...

Thanks for the thumbs up/warning (over here)... Shake Keane - DIG IT! & SHAKE KEANE WITH THE KEATING SOUND Is that one worth getting? Is it easy listening/lounge stuff... still worth getting? Don Rendell - Playtime & singles compilation And how 'bout that one? Guess this one I need: Garrick's Fairground - MR SMITH'S APOCALYPSE also... Tony Crombie - SWEET, WIDE AND BLUE & TWELVE FAVOURITE FILM THEMES The Kirchin Band - EMI SINGLES COMPILATION 1954-56: GOTTA BE THIS OR THAT Kenny Baker - OPERATION JAM SESSION, TRIBUTE TO BENNY CARTER ETC. Michael Garrick's New Quartet - LIVE AT PIZZA ON THE PARK The latest is a DVD and as I rarely watch the few I have... but it's rather cheap. Got the other few jazz discs that are in the sale... don't overlook the Ray Russell, it's excellent!

today's haul: Jazz at Preservation Hall 1 - The Eureka Brass Band of New Orleans (Atlantic SD 1408) Barbara Donald and Unity - The Past and Tomorrows (CJR) Dizzy Gillespie - Vol. 1/2 (1946-1948) (Jazz Tribune N° 2) Illinois Jacquet - Genius at Work! (Black Lion) Kid Ory - Creole Jazz Band 1944/45 (Good Time Jazz L-12022) The Atlantic looks splendid, and the cover photo is great! #3 of the series was there, too, but cost about twice as much (I ended up getting a huge discount, so I should have taken it, too... but how could I have known...) The Gillespie is all on the 2CD set, but that one's very no-noised - except for a the Teddy Hill tracks, the Lionel Hampton track, the alternates from the Metronome All Stars, and a few cuts with Johnny Hartman, all of it is on the French double LP and I'm sure it will sound much better. The Donald I've seen elsewhere several times, but it always was a bit too pricey... and the Ory, finally... now I've got two of these Good Time Jazz LPs, already have the one from 1954 with Barney Kessel aboard. Oh, forgot the Jacquet... smokin' hot stuff in trio with Milt Buckner and Tony Crombie - played the first track and had to absolutely buy!

Lost Disc 2 of MPS Snowflakes Compilation
king ubu replied to Teasing the Korean's topic in Offering and Looking For...
some variant of this, it seems: -
'merikan politicians are all out of their minds! No money for Mosaic now, sorry... spent way too much on vinyl and all the crazy CD summer sales that are going on (amazon.de and amazon.fr... co.uk has some crazy offers going on, too...)
-
It used to be just astronomical. Now it is mythical ! I can get Mosaic sets for about half the price I could get them in the worst days... but I've still got a few unheard ones. And I don't think the US$ will be worth considerably more too soon...
-
Yes, just went and checked here: http://www.storyvillerecords.com/default.aspx?tabID=2867&productId=27205&state_2758=2 It's #1-22 of of Disc 4 in the "Duke Box"!

OK, thanks - it's not sane to buy everything on vinyl and CD anyway... but I might go for the wonderful gatefold of Ellington's "New Orleans Suite" - it's a bit pricey but in perfect condition (about the price of 5 cups of coffee... for which you'd have to pay around 20€ now, but to me, it feels less pricey as the € and everything else is worth sh*t now... or rather, the Swiss frank is way overpriced...)

Woody Herman - Swing Low, Sweet Clarinet Very enjoyable quartet date with Woody on clarinet exclusively (and no singing), accompanied by Nat Pierce, Chuck Andrus and the great Gus Johnson. Guess that one's another original? Looks exactly like the above, the number (right side in the small printing in the white bar at the bottom) is "PHM 200-004". This one was even cheaper than the Ellington & Coltrane... and I could pick up "Encore" dirt cheap, but with cover in just so-so shape... and I have the Mosaic Select... should I still reconsider and get the LP?) Here's one more and better pic:

Frank Foster - The House That Love Built (Steeplechase) CD seems to include a 10 minute bonustrack (#4)

Thanks for the update. I just looked at that DEMS link again and was happy to see that they're including 8 tracks from the 1943 Hurricane broadcasts. I have a tree of much of the '43 Hurricane material but would love to see an official release of all of it at some point. There is a Storyville release (I guess that's official) of 3 Hurricane broadcasts from '43 including one "Pastel Period" broadcast. "At the Hurricane" Storyville 101 8359. ... and it's also (I assume) the same material from the Hurricane, that can be found on the "Duke Box"?

Very nice! The Pops part will be on the upcoming totally superfluous Universal 10CD set... I already wondered about where the rest of it could be found... and with the Pops being in there, too, that's nice! I'll grab this for sure!
-
"Dixieland" featuring Ben Pollack and his Pick-A-Rib Boys (Savoy MG-12090) Can't find a cover scan anywhere... my first original Savoy LP, for sure, and a nice one, too! Great Teagarden feature on "Mighty Like a Rose"!

Catching up with news only now... and just found this in the shelves, had forgotten all about it - it's spinning now, and nice it is! r.i.p. Fran Landesman

That one will be on my turntable tomorrow, too! @clifford: true dat! Ain't it great to have a good laugh, too... guess Fos is laughing with us!

Very sad news - r.i.p. Frank Foster

Footage from Andy Bey and some others in Paris: Who's the dude reminiscing?

Thanks - that's exactly how it looks! I guess around 10€ for this WAS quite a find, after all!

Can someone maybe help me determine if my "Duke Ellington & John Coltrane" is indeed an original pressing? There's a deep groove roughly where the outher black "frame" on the label begins. In the dead wax on side 1 are the following stamps: "AS 30A", "...? Sound" (very small, can't read the first word, it's in a tiny curly type) In the dead wax on side 2: "VAN GELDER", "AS-30 B" (originally handwritten), "STEREO", and "LW" (vertically, L on top of W), like: What's the meaning of that anyway? Seen it before... Further, on the labels as well as the back cover: "A PRODUCT OF ABC-PARAMOUNT RECORDS, INC." and "PRINTED IN U.S.A."

Yes, that one's fabulous! But to me, it's by far Masekela's finest (Dudu smokes... and spews fire!) Don't know that much yet, but nothing else I've heard had a similar impact on me...
