To end my short derailment of this thread... the boxes I could have bought were indeed the Billy May et.al. re-recordings, those 70s 3LP boxes I liked to above. No need for them to use up my space...

Duke Ellington & John Coltrane "Impulse Stereo A-30" is what it says in the white circle below the label... seems to be an original stereo issue - found it today! EDIT: image fixed

Jimmy Rushing - Rushing Lullabies got exactly the above Philips version - lovely!

I saw that one... as someone who owns zero Floyd discs at this time, it might be of interest... but would be overkill, too.

so it's packed as a gigantic smartphone? I'm waiting for the day when they'll invent the inversion box set... as soon as you open it, you'll be swallowed by the box set and turn invisble (like Calvin when he's wearing his cape)... you'll need a special gadget to be released again, if you lose it (or buy a Chinese counterfeit) you'll never find your way out again! Oh, and shouldn't this be in the boxset bargain thread?

Berkeley April 7, 1967 with Al Stinson! There are also Portland May 21, 1966 with Richard Davis and the aforementioned Newport July 2, 1967 gig, and then there's Newport July 4, 1966, too! The two from Newport are VOA broadcasts. Portland is given as AUD on Losin, but sounds more like SBD, Berkeley is a radio broadcast. Fabulous stuff, all of it!

Happy Birthday! :party:

Yes, only piano on the 1967 tour. As for the rest... London hasn't turned up, from Helsinki there are but a few tracks around, but there's are full (compared to Losin's listings, that is) radio captures from Rotterdam, Berlin and Karlsruhe (which is partly on the DVD). Not sure a Vol. 2 based on these would make that much sense, but hey, I'd get it, too!

Seriously now? Had no idea such a thing existed!

smart scanner that can develop negatives!

classic chewy! (btw, I just got a dixieland LP with an RVG stamp in it!)

One of the jams "Farewell Blues" with Bird and Bechet is available from Amazon as a download. It's on Bird's Eye Vol. 12. Losin says it's been shortened on most releases, including the Philology Vol. 12 and Vol. 61 (what a mess, these Philology releases!) ones:

Awww shit no. This is sad.

Awww shit no. This is sad.

how 'bout dutch treats?

ok... got to dig out "We Want Miles"... and look around some

Needless to say I'd love to get a proper release of all of this material, but for now I'll just be happy with my old French CD... and I think I might have some of the Philology stuff somewhere, too... but those are such a mess, I rarely think of them since I want to figure out stuff and that takes hours with Philology's Bird's Eyes! Yeah... some kind of "Deluxe/Legacy Edition" as Warner just did for "Tutu" would be cool!

Losin says... about the additional tracks from Paris: Paris, May 9, 1949 7 The Squirrel 12" LP: Phontastic NOST 7602 CD: Philology Volume 19 (W 849), Jazz Factory JFCD 22882 8 Crazy Rhythm CD: Philology Volume 19 (W 849), Jazz Factory JFCD 22882 9 All the Things You Are CD: Philology Volume 19 (W 849), Jazz Factory JFCD 22882 Paris, May 15, 1949 1 Blues Final (incomplete) [Farewell Blues] (S. Bechet) 4:54 Shorter version (3:46) on all issues except Vogue YX-0001 and JFCD 22882 1 Blues Final (incomplete) 12" LP: Bird in Paris CP-3, Durium-Cicala BLJ-8024, Spotlite LP-118, Toho/Vogue YX-0001 CD: Philology Volume 12 (W 842), Volume 61 (892), FAP 001/3, Jazz Factory JFCD 22882

So, had to look up this "Miles Miles Miles" that you all seem to know and own: Never heard of it! If it's as good as "We Want Miles", I'm really hoping Sony will bring this on, too! Same for the Antibes sets by the lost quintet... and the full "Miles at Fillmore" sets. Since these are all Sony-owned, I hope they will be part of this new series or see reissues in some other form!

As for Paris 1949... there was an old french CD using this LP cover: Wasn't aware it's rare or anything... The info from Sony says that the dvd first appeared officially in the Complete Classic Album box set. The final two tracks on the Paris '49 disc were not on the original lp. Not sure they were on the first Japanese or French cds. . . Edit to add: no, those two were not on the original cds. Not sure where or when they first appeared. Thanks - hadn't read it very closely (obviously, DOH) THe French CD has nine tracks: Rifftide Good Bait Don't Blame Me Lady Bird "Wah" "Hoo" (funny spelling) Allen's Alley Embraceable You Ornithology All the Things You Are

So now that the DVD's tracklist is out - is it indeed the same as on the monster box? As for Paris 1949... there was an old french CD using this LP cover: Wasn't aware it's rare or anything...

"Night Train" is funnily one I've still not been able to get too much pleasure out of yet. From that time, I much prefer "Affinity"!

Thanks! So the only remaining rarity there will be the second disc of "We Want Miles" material... now that would make a great upcoming Miles Bootleg Series volume, too!

Isn't the Tatum comparison overstretched? There's lots more of Nat Cole there... at least to my lacking lousy ears.
