It's an email address, Ted. By the way, they never asked me to confirm I had a defective disc nor did they reply to my email enquiry. I just got sent the corrected disc 4 and erratum.

(I did a search and could not find a thread on here already dealing with this issue, so this recent thread seemed like the place.) I only recently found out about the issue with disc 4 of the initial pressing of the complete set through this amazon review. Quote:"In the accompanying booklet, the track information is incorrect for a number of tracks on discs seven and eight. A more serious problem is that at least some copies of the set are still being sold with a defective version of disc four, on which most of the tracks are recorded about 10% too fast. If you already have the set, you can determine whether your copy of disc four is defective by checking the timing of the master take of "Donna Lee" (track 13): if the timing is 2:35, you have the pitch-corrected disc, but if it is 2:22, you have the defective disc and need to get a replacement. As of this writing, you can do that by contacting Savoy at inquiries@savoyjazz.com; after asking you a question to verify that you have the defective disc, they will send you a replacement." I contacted Savoy through the above email address and today received my replacement disc even though it has been a decade since that review was written and even longer since the release of the complete set. I also received an erratum with a corrected track list for discs 4, 7 & 8. I'm very grateful they shipped these items to me free of charge even though I live in Europe and intercontinental shipping is not exactly cheap these days. PS The total time on the corrected disc 4 reads 67:48 on my CD player, the defective disc 65:10.

First time in ages I peeked in here and I'm tired already. Time for the participants to move on and listen to some music?

Still €44.99 at Jazzmessengers, but this means they will likely raise the price soon.

Ah. Is the Live in Japan album the best disc of that Select?

The new non-SHM low priced edition of Out To Lunch does not have the two alternate takes according to hmv.co.jp.

The Charles Tolliver has only four tracks ('Round Midnight is missing) compared to this release.

Some are already at 2 to 4 weeks availability at CD Japan.

On The Sunny Side Of The Street. Same as Back at the Chicken Shack RVG?

"Trick or treat!" I can feel Phil waving just out of view of the camera.

Nuclear Piet.

Fuck Zwarte Piet. I completely fail to understand the hysterics about preserving tradition regarding Zwarte Piet. It seems most Dutch could use a history lesson and what is so horrible about a multicoloured Piet anyway?

Good for him. Plant is likely already a wealthy man and what would he need all those millions for at his age. He wants to pursue a different direction with the time he has left.

Ladies and gentlemen, the King!

"Only humans waving? That's crazy."

Damn, I've slept on the RFH 2004 disc for too long. I was at the gig - very good, maybe not life-changing though There are still copies available for under £10 at amazon.co.uk.

That is disappointing. I feel like I'm constantly playing catch up with artists known and unknown to me. Anthony Braxton Quintet (2004) London Royal Festival Hall has also sold out. I'm glad I finally bought it in the recent past. When I tuned in to the BBC Jazz On 3 broadcast in 2004 and heard Jez Nelson describe the gig as life changing the music was still too far out for me.

Tempting indeed. Not Leo but CIMP, but earlier I went for the two CDs of mostly Andrew Hill compositions (and one Wayne Shorter and George Coleman each) by this band. Ten Compositions (quartet) 2000 CIMP #225 and Nine Compositions (Hill) 2000 CIMP #236. Highly recommended.

I think I'll get Appleby, Natives and Aliens, and Braxton/Parker Duo 1993. I'd have to order in fours, so if I can find two more discs to go with the first two Ivo Perelman's Steve suggested...

40 pages is 10%.

Three SHMs from the October batch. The plan was to wait until 2015.

I can deal with a couple of pages, say at most 10% of text and photos.

Like Big Beat Steve I am wondering how many pages of text and photos are devoted to the resurrected Blue Note, especially artists like Norah Jones?

Review at telegraph.co.uk. "This book tells the story with amiable, but rather unfocused enthusiasm. Its main interest is in the lavish quantity of Wolff’s images that are reproduced, including many not used on the final cover designs. Those in search of a critical assessment of Lion and Wolff’s musical achievement would do better to seek out a copy of the late Richard Cook’s Blue Note Records: The Biography (2001). "
