The SHMs of this material sounded very good, even better than the RVGs. So, a cheaper way of getting the new transfers. Who wrote the notes to the Miles set? Oops, sorry. I reposted with a quote of your post.

"Thelonious Monk's first recordings in the late 1940s were for Blue Note Records and they signaled a new kind of Blue Note as the label was evolving from an outlet for boogie woogie and old time jazz into a flag-waver for hard bop. These recordings, which include the first version of Monk's classic composition, 'Round Midnight' (originally known as 'Round About Midnight'), were released on a series of fifteen 78 RPM singles. Later, Monk's sessions were re-compiled on 10-inch and 12-inch LPs, and this collection will present for the first time Monk's Blue Note recordings in their original 78 RPM sequence of release, adding as bonus tracks the alternate takes that appeared on later LP and CD releases. In addition, 'Round Midnight includes nine tracks not available on any current reissues of Monk's albums." Just the 8 tracks with Monk from Milt Jackson's Wizard of the Vibes or something never before released?

Sorry for The Gipper he won't make it to season 2. He couldn't remember his trigger if his life depended on it.

I might get shot down for saying, but there's always bittorrent to try the new CDs in FLAC before placing an order.

Yes, this sample of Cool Blues is much improved!

To me Discogs has been a breath of fresh air after years on eBay. I buy CDs and no LPs of course, but there are a lot of honest sellers on Discogs and their prices are often very reasonable compared to eBay and Amazon third party. Look closely at feedback scores and comments, seek out private sellers for second hand items, and buy mint or near mint items only.

In my experience buyer protection at eBay boils down to filing a PayPal claim. Pay the seller at Discogs with PayPal and you should be assured of the same (inadequate) protection, right?

If they cover mistakes made by European postal systems, they should extent the same courtesy to customers depended on the US system. They reshipped the Ellington Coltrane APO SACD I ordered within 24 hours! (And, no, that first shipment never arrived eventually.)

And wasn't Poly-Currents released not too long after recording? I think the title track of Mr. Jones dresses up an otherwise pretty poor album. I have the SHM of Poly-Currents under way from Japan. The Ultimate on SHM was excellent.

Sonny Clark Trio [Low-Priced Edition] UCCU-99098 3 December, 2014 Description: The disc included in this reissue may be identical to a previous edition. In that case, a different catalog number may be printed on the disc. --- A year and a month after the release of the SHM-CD. Probably same mastering?

"It's him! It's your father!"

Yes, there were a lot of Lost Highway inspired moments in the Whelan's house. In some ways it's a shame the pilot episode was so demanding on the viewers. I feel like I'm about the only one still eagerly awaiting every next episode.

U2?

.... and worse..... Coma drinking? (Common among teens here.)

To the offended dupes with insipid spouses. Who are the children taking after?

Let's await the finished product. November's not that long off.

Hello Jonathan, I noticed your post this morning but was away for the day (dog had to visit the trim salon). I'll post a proper reply in a couple of hours. Thank you for taking an interest in the discussion on Organissimo.

The two parker samples have a whooshy sound in the highs that I dislike. The other two samples didn't (I focused mostly on the Bird), so I figured it wasn't down to a too low bit rate. Edit: The samples were not definitive as Jonathan Horwich explained to me.

I played Live-Evil.

From Mosaic's website: SOUND QUALITY Steve Marlowe and Jonathan Horwich have performed miracles on the Dial catalog. Starting with the best transfers of the catalog which still left much to be desired, they used a process known as Bit Density Processing (don’t ask) and were able to painstakingly remove every pop and tick and surface noise without sacrificing one iota of music. The results are stunning. ---------- I hope you're right, Lon. I'm definitely interested in this set.

This looks different from the recent crowd funded documentary. With the 93 min. of concert footage I will get this when the price is right.
