uhhh, yes you can - alas!

not reading here yet - just popping in to say sorry for not (yet) having participated... the files still lie on my HD, rarely used my ipod for months now, too bad! will try and play the music later this week or over the weekend and share some thoughts then!

Well, EMI yurp freaked up big time with their copycrap discs, too... no wonder it's all in such a sorry state if everybody's clueless... they rather keep producing new "musicstars", it seems! Yuck!

JazzTrack: http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/catalogue...mp;label_id=180 JazzBeat: http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/catalogue...mp;label_id=159 It's sad that they get away with that, but one party that is to blame big time are the retailers. If they keep buying and selling all that stuff while not having the original editions in their shops, how should the customers know? One example: the woman whom I consider the most knowledgeable person jazz-wise in town, she ordered Nat Cole's "After Midnight" sessions for a friend, and he ended up with this pirate version, which they've also had in their stock before, while the EMI/Capitol disc is still around - and in fact turned up multiple times in a Blue Note/Capitol sale that started a month later at the very same store...)

they've done Birth of the Cool and Miles Ahead by now (didn't check the other labels, but JazzTrack and that other one with identical layout but different name are the most likely candidates for such "straight" reissues, it seems - it's them that did "Ellington Indigos" and "A Drum Is a Woman", too, as well as some others - here's what CDUniverse carries these days).

This is off-topic but wasn't there a disc on A&M that was sort of an archival release? A supplement to - I think - "Dancing in Your Head"? (I'm not a completist of his music post 1970 or so... and before, my collection has various gaps, too)

you missed kunstkopfindianer (and i think comparing with vincents list a few posts above this is it...) only have all smiles, guess i should get on the look-out for a few more... hah, that's funny - looking for this thread, "kunstkopfindianer" was what I put into the search box, and I wondered why the thread didn't turn up - I went with "jankowskeynotes" then, but by then I had forgotten about the indian already... so here's the list again, with "Kunstkopfindianer" added: Charly Antolini - Drum Beat - 06024 9808191 Clarke Boland Big Band - All Smiles - 981 479 0 Clarke Boland Big Band - More Smiles - 981 478 9 Clarke Boland Big Band - Fellini 712 - 981 480 5 Wolfgang Dauner Trio - Music Zounds - 06024 9808190 Art Farmer Quintet - From Vienna With Art - 06024 9811443 Friedrich Gulda - Fata Morgana - Live at the Domicile - 06024 9811447 Horst Jankowski Quartett - Jankowskinetik - 06024 9808189 Horst Jankowski - Jankowskeynotes - 981 480 6 Hans Koller - Exclusiv – 06024 9813440 Hans Koller - Relax With My Horns – 06024 9813445 Hans Koller Big Band - New York City – 06024 9813437 Hans Koller Free Sound - Phoenix – 06024 9813438 Hans Koller / Wolfgang Dauner - Kunstkopfindianer - 06024 9813439 Volker Kriegel - Spectrum - 06024 9808699 Joachim Kühn - Hip Elegy - 06024 9808186 Albert Mangelsdorff - And His Friends - 00440 0673752 Don Menza - Morning Song - 06024 9811446 Fritz Pauer Trio - Blues Inside Out - 06024 9811264 Fritz Pauer - Live At The Berlin Jazz Galerie - 06024 9811263 Nelson Riddle - Changing Colors - 981 479 4 Nelson Riddle - Communication - 981 479 5 Annie Ross & Pony Poindexter - With The Berlin All Stars - 06024 9811257 Attila Zoller / Hans Koller / Martial Solal - Zoller Koller Solal – 00422 8431072 SACDs (later replaced by CDs): Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. I - Action - 06024 9811293 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. II - Girl Talk – 06024 9811294 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. III - The Way I Really Play – 06024 9811295 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. IV - My Favorite Instrument – 06024 9811296 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. V - Mellow Mood – 06024 9811303 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. VI - Travelin' On – 06024 9811305

As I don't care that much for OP, I didn't really give much attention, but you're right - those around now look exactly like the latest jewel-case-packed other discs (CBBB, Riddle)

I thought it was something like this - interesting to re-evaluate after all the years, I guess! I'm a bit young for that, but it has happened to me already as well...

bumping this up in connection with the currently active other mps thread here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=42958 this is, I think, the full list of the earlier mps reissues done by Universal (in roughly 2003/2004): Charly Antolini - Drum Beat - 06024 9808191 Clarke Boland Big Band - All Smiles - 981 479 0 Clarke Boland Big Band - More Smiles - 981 478 9 Clarke Boland Big Band - Fellini 712 - 981 480 5 Wolfgang Dauner Trio - Music Zounds - 06024 9808190 Art Farmer Quintet - From Vienna With Art - 06024 9811443 Friedrich Gulda - Fata Morgana - Live at the Domicile - 06024 9811447 Horst Jankowski Quartett - Jankowskinetik - 06024 9808189 Horst Jankowski - Jankowskeynotes - 981 480 6 Hans Koller - Exclusiv – 06024 9813440 Hans Koller - Relax With My Horns – 06024 9813445 Hans Koller Big Band - New York City – 06024 9813437 Hans Koller Free Sound - Phoenix – 06024 9813438 Volker Kriegel - Spectrum - 06024 9808699 Joachim Kühn - Hip Elegy - 06024 9808186 Albert Mangelsdorff - And His Friends - 00440 0673752 Don Menza - Morning Song - 06024 9811446 Fritz Pauer Trio - Blues Inside Out - 06024 9811264 Fritz Pauer - Live At The Berlin Jazz Galerie - 06024 9811263 Nelson Riddle - Changing Colors - 981 479 4 Nelson Riddle - Communication - 981 479 5 Annie Ross & Pony Poindexter - With The Berlin All Stars - 06024 9811257 Attila Zoller / Hans Koller / Martial Solal - Zoller Koller Solal – 00422 8431072 SACDs: Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. I - Action - 06024 9811293 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. II - Girl Talk – 06024 9811294 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. III - The Way I Really Play – 06024 9811295 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. IV - My Favorite Instrument – 06024 9811296 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. V - Mellow Mood – 06024 9811303 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. VI - Travelin' On – 06024 9811305 I have all the Kollers, the CBBBs (Fellini I have on the old twofer with Latin Kaleidoscope, didn't get the new one), the Mangelsdorff, the Ross/Poindexter, the Kühn, and now recently got the Gulda and just today the Menza arrived. The Farmer I'll get, too... a mighty fine bunch of discs, and the Menza comes highly recommended!

watched the first episode of the second season of "californication" last night (in english, it only is on the French-language channel here, the darn protestants don't continue with it after season one went from starting times of ten p.m. to almost midnight months ago...) - hard to understand in english, but I'll try and catch it every monday now, love it!

sounds different than in the other thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...st&p=861009

Yeah well, he worked with Ella a tad too long, maybe, no? Too gentle to step out into the spotlight? One of my favourites of his is the self-titled Bennie Wallace album on AudioQuest - marvellous Flanagan on that one! A good pairing, come to think of it, Wallace with his huge, somewhat old-fashioned sound, works very nicely with Flanagan! (And with the great Lou Levy on "Old Songs", another fine AudioQuest album of Wallace's.)

Are the four Thad Jones tracks the one from the United Artists album? If so, that may be my favourite Thad Jones small group date! Fantastic one, and to me I think the highlight of the (terrific!) Thad Jones Blue Note/UA/Roulette Mosaic! (And mind me, much better than most anything ever committed to disc by Donald Byrd... I mean I like Byrd, I'm on record stating that here, I guess multiple times, but Thad in those years, he was just awesome in a small group setting!)

The Eldridge is OOP as well.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday & all the best, Garth!

earlier thread - there are two more of these boxes, I have them all but the Codona I only got a couple of weeks ago and it's open but unlistened... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=48297

eloe omoe, no? - and yes, as far as I know it still very much exists. But in Switzerland, distribution of it ended in the latest 90s, I think.

If it's not the switch itself, a common problem on some older turntables with idler-wheel drive is that the rubber on the wheel has dried out so that it doesn't drive the platter correctly. Gee, I missed your reply all these months... sorry for that! Got a new needle in the meantime (seems it's difficult to find one for my Shure thingie, but there's a funny "nostalgia radio" shop in Zurich that had one left). Playing one of my few recent acquisitions, a nice selection covering 1950-56:

Same here! And these Originals contain a) too many easy listening albums, and b) too many albums reissued earlier by Verve/Universal/GRP in much better editions with additional tracks. Not a great series, all in all, but still at least they haven't stopped completely yet...

octo moron?

sorry for being late to the party - happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

gee... should have been, of course...
