Herbie Hancock Complete Columbia Box
erwbol replied to djcavanagh's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
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. -
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!

It's more like you went back to using an ox cart. The ne plus ultra in comfort and quality, right?

Yes, but when I get a free Chinese calender with my take away, I did not go shopping for the flimsy thing.

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.)

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?

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

Thelonious Monk - New Sony Columbia CD reissues
erwbol replied to monkboughtlunch's topic in Re-issues
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). -
Thelonious Monk - New Sony Columbia CD reissues
erwbol replied to monkboughtlunch's topic in Re-issues
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. -
box sets that include interview material/disc

Anthony Braxton - Quartet (Coventry) 1985 (Leo Records, 2 CD set) -
Thelonious Monk - New Sony Columbia CD reissues
erwbol replied to monkboughtlunch's topic in Re-issues
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? -
I was introduced to Honey Boo Boo by watching Real Time with Bill Maher. After that I did google.

Dare I google with the images option on? (Where's the emoticon for a leer?) MG Do you really have to ask, Sugar Bear?

Jim Alfredson's Dirty Fingers - A Tribute To Big John Patton
erwbol replied to Jim Alfredson's topic in Announcements
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. -

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.

Are there any box bargains currently available?
erwbol replied to GA Russell's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
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). -
Jazzloft

That must be the best jazz CD store in The Netherlands. They used to have all those David Murray DIWs in stock when I first started collecting jazz. I no longer live nearby, so I haven't been there in years.

A little birthday present for yourself? Please let us know if they included the book (120 pages) for this set and what the packaging is like. -

I did not order any of the former Collectibles only titles, or at least do not own those Collectibles. Partly it's my fault. I should not have tried to upgrade titles already in my collection. Having spent €80 on unsatisfactory product, I'm unwilling to take a chance on any of the other albums in this series.

To me they (Mingus, Blakey & Monk) sound loud and very bright with no extra detail compared to the earlier EU/US CDs. A firm step back imo.
