  1. I first bought the single disc Nefertiti (I wanted to familiarise myself with Miles Davis and read the back artwork notes to the 1998 CD at the local record shop) and then this box set. No release was more important to me early on. My admiration for this band hasn't diminished.
  2. I wasn't aware of that rejected date. Could it be any good? Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone) Barbara Burton (vibraphone, bells, percussion) McCoy Tyner (piano) Miroslav Vitous (bass) Alphonse Mouzon (drums, percussion) A&R Recording Studio, NYC, October 13, 1970 tk.3 Pt. 1: The Creation Blue Note rejected tk.4 Pt. 2: B. Because - tk.5 Pt. 3: Cee - tk.7 Pt. 4: Dee - tk.8 Pt. 5: Effe - BTW, Wayne's latest, Without A Net, is also missing, but I was thinking of albums that could benefit from such a release.
  3. (This old thread was the only one I could find that was solely dedicated to Wayne's Blue Note period) Whatever your favourite Wayne Shorter Blue Note, there's a good chance it's now available as a 24bit/192kHz FLAC download at HDtracks. A lot has been added recently. The list currently is: Moto Grosso Feio Shizophrenia Adam's Apple The All Seeing Eye Etcetera The Soothsayer Speak No Evil Juju Night Dreamer Only Super Nova and Odyssey of Iska are missing from the list!
  4. I've tried to open my neighbour's front door several times (and, no, I wasn't drunk). Nobody noticed.
  5. The price has gone up a few Euros at Amazon.de to €109.99. Amazon.co.uk still has not opened it up for pre-order with release less than a month away.
  6. In a couple of years time your hearing devices will have built in mp3 players as you enter your Golden Years. Into the light! Into the light!
  7. It's more like you went back to using an ox cart. The ne plus ultra in comfort and quality, right?
  8. Yes, but when I get a free Chinese calender with my take away, I did not go shopping for the flimsy thing.
  9. They used to be well-stocked, but the owner is a dick. The shop clossed years ago. I got along with him very well. So only Concerto/Plato is left now in Amsterdam? (Fame in its new location is a joke.)
  10. Very much the experience of my 26-year-old daughter. Loves the Cloud - not surprised as she uses phone, tablet and laptop, plus desktop at work. As the one who bails out her overdrafts, I'm pleased she's moved from constantly buying downloads from iTunes to using Spotify at £9.99 a month. This week I got an offer for a usually Euro 50 now Euro 42 a month digital TV, internet and telephone subscription in which spotify was included and promoted as an advantage of this over other packages. Even worse?
  11. From today's Guardian: David Byrne: 'The internet will suck all creative content out of the world' The boom in digital streaming may generate profits for record labels and free content for consumers, but it spells disaster for today's artists across the creative industries
  12. It's a full disc from the Between Nothingness & Eternity concerts of material from Inner Mounting Flame & Birds of Fire. The Nothingness album now sounds terrific in remastered form (both discs). The other track is Noonward Race 3 April, 1972, originally released on Mar Y Sol/ The First International Puerto Rico Pop Festival (Atco SD-705).
  13. It's a bit more complete. See thread. According to post #8 from thread there is live stuff that has yet to see the light of day (at all or in remastered form). Both the Woody Shaw and Mahavishnu boxes in this series contained an extra disc with new live material. The Mahavishnu also contained an extra live track added to Inner Mounting Flame previously issued only on LP. All of the Complete Albums sets (with the exception of some older music like the Billie Holiday) were remastered again for this series. It would make sense to at least add some new material to such a set, frustrating as that may be for those who already own all previous CD releases. Edit: Lon beat me to It.
  14. Anthony Braxton - Quartet (Coventry) 1985 (Leo Records, 2 CD set)
  15. From the liner notes booklet (dated April 2012): "1962-1967 ... in addition to his studio work with his quartet, made several live recordings on club and concert settings during this period. Those live performances will comprise a projected future Monk collection in Columbia/Legacy's Complete Albums series." Could this mean the inclusion of a more complete Complete It Club like the Mosaic LP set?
  16. I was introduced to Honey Boo Boo by watching Real Time with Bill Maher. After that I did google.
  17. Dare I google with the images option on? (Where's the emoticon for a leer?) MG Do you really have to ask, Sugar Bear?
  18. They used to be well-stocked, but the owner is a dick.
  19. The link in post #46 does not work. It gives a no permission error message. Of course it must work for Jim, as he is the admin.
  20. Bought Unspeakable and Marches On to complement Apes of Wrath which was hilarious with its commentary and glossary: Evildoer Anyone who is not a frenna freem Freeman moxy Mercas gif to the wurl Yurpeen Union Another organisation of evildoers
  21. I ordered four BS/SN CDs from Jazzloft two years ago (different titles) and they were not CD-Rs. I can't remember where I ordered my copies of Strange Serenade and Verona Rag. As I understand it, there are the CD-Rs produced by amazon.com on demand and the CD-Rs produced by the label itself for some titles (before the takeover by CAM). I had the misfortune of buying a label produced CD-R of Adams/Pullen Live At The Village Vanguard Vol.2. It seems the last batch of those two Hill titles distributed by the label were genuine CDs.
  22. Oh right. What extra you seem to get on the other one is a handful of alternative takes, an interview and (maybe) a 200 page sleeve note. Hm.... MG The one GA Russell posted likely contains the more recent (inferior) remastering (it's from 2011).
