I'd recognize Heineken anytime. It's what's called slootwater in Dutch.

FOX News: BEER IS WHERE FREEDOM DIES. THE TASTE OF NUMBING SOCIALIST UNIFORMITY.

In post David Weiss says he has had the Unity alternates for years, but gives no specifics. You could try asking him directly.

I don't remember there being an alternate take on Free For All before. I wonder how many of these fifty new discs contain previously unreleased material. From the June batch, was Blue John the only disc with previously unreleased tracks?

I'll update the list on later today with the releases from June and the coming fall.

Actually, they begin with UCCQ5031, Horace Silver's Blowing The Blues Away. Roll Call, Workout, Mosaic, Takin' Off, Go!, Hub Tones, Page One, Free For All, Unity, Super Nova, My Point Of View, No Room For Squares, Idle Moments, Adam's Apple, The Prisoner, and more. No Andrew Hill and only one Joe Henderson, but four new alternate takes for Unity!

Let's hope this lowlife gets the maximum fifteen year sentence.

"Ah, tally-ho, yippety-dip and zing zang spillip! Looking forward to bullying off for the final chukka?"

Nay!

My experience with vinyl is mostly limited to Michael Jackson's Thriller which I got as a birthday present in 1982. My first record. In the eighties I used mostly cassette tapes. This. Thumbs up to Bernie Grundman. With these transfers the Blue Note catalogue is save for the future.

I just put on the SHMs a bit. There is some noticeable shift in sound between sessions ('52 & '53 WOR studios vs '54 Van Gelder), and some slight shift between alternate and masters from the '53 WOR session, but I don't hear the significant difference between takes for the middle ('53) session, mjzee. (I no longer own the RVGs and those were never favourite Miles for me, so I have no memory of such a significant difference being present on the RVGs.)

I presume you asked Rooster Ties, but I own the McMaster, BN Works and formerly RVG. It's a considerable improvement. The HD Tracks 24bit FLACs are also very good, but lack the alternate takes. Clunky was also very positive about the SHM of Out To Lunch early on in this thread.

For me the new Dolphy was most thrilling of all. If I could keep only one of these five discs...

The first batch from October contained five titles with previously unreleased alternate takes: Blue Train, Somethin' Else, Moanin', Out To Lunch, and Speak No Evil. See e.g. page 1 (if you're up to it).

I previewed a couple of tracks from Blue John on the internet and think it's a very dull, lightweight record. Much as I enjoyed That Certain Feeling, Let 'Em Roll and Along Came John, Blue John confirmed my prejudices against jazz organ. If the five new tracks with Grant Green are similar to the main album, then I really don't need those. Now the SHM of Larry Young's Of Love And Peace seems more like my cup of tea. I'll get that instead.

All of the other Netflix series have come out on disc eventually. I agree - hope this does too. Patti Smith has a small part as a doctor in episode one.

OK but how do you get the location of just the image without everything around it. (As I said pretend I'm really stupid.) Right-click on the image, which should give you some choices. Choose "view image." That will make the picture appear on its own. That's where you copy the URL and paste it, using the button erwbol showed above. Or else right-click and select "Copy Image Location" (at least under OS X).

Thank you. That is helpful information. Is there any explanation in Cuscuna's liner notes why these two tracks? According to Wikipedia's page on the Street Singer 1 September 1960 session there was one other Brooks composition, Isle Of Java, while Melonae's Dance is a McLean composition. Adding these two tracks neither makes this the complete 1 September 1960 session, nor makes it include all of Tina Brooks own compositions recorded that day. To prevent a double post.

Can anyone provide some info on the two bonus tracks from Tina Brooks' Back to the Tracks? The XRCD24 (released in January 2014 without bonus material) was on my shopping list, but now I'm undecided.

Actually, it's Foolow, Derbyshire!

By the way, the bassist for this gig is Sonny Johnson. His solo spot is the introduction to My Favourite Things.

For what it's worth this is my impression of the CD. High resolution transfer from original master tapes by Kevin Reeves. Sound restoration and mastering by Fran Gala & George Klabin. The sound is centered around the saxophone. An echo from the concert hall is audible on the saxophone, especially for Coltrane. Drums, percussion and piano receded but audible, bass very low in mix. Drums, piano and even bass become clearly audible for solos. No distortion like Olatunji. Coltrane plays magnificently. Essential late Coltrane.

The metal spine set was my introduction to Bitches Brew. I think the post Bitches Brew studio material included wasn't all that interesting, but I no longer own that set, so I can't offer a revised opinion. The 40th Anniversary set has superior content, I believe. My metal spine box also had glue on disc 4 (did not prevent playback). That greatly annoyed me, so I got the 1999 2CD as well. The hybrid SACD will be my fifth Brew, then.

I had always assumed the Complete Columbia Album set contained the remix! A strange situation. That box it seems contains a lot of remixes for pre-electric period albums, but then remix In A Silent Way, the orginal Bitches Brew mix , the Agartha vinyl mix, but the later Pangaea complete concert mix. So, either I have shit in my ears like Stanley Crotch, or I should start listening to the Complete Columbia Album Collection CDs over the 40th Anniversary set more often.
