    Iron Man is also not to be missed.
  2. Oh please, dear? For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.
  3. If'd known aobut it I would have. Sound is very good. And why am I writing in italics? I don't know. Why am I drinking Chianti Riserva?
  4. But that's no official release, right? Might as well download the excellent FM broadcast for free. If that cd's a boot it might have worse sound than the rebroadcast.
  5. I'll drop by their Amsterdam store later this week and buy a copy.
  6. This suggestion works well, thanks. A shame that so many interesting threads simply cannot be found by browsing the forum section under which they are supposedly located. These topics do not appear to be locked. I assume that when new posts are made they'll show up again when browsing. You really already have to know what it is you're looking for around here.

  9. Last week I bought a copy of the Andrew Hill Blue Note box for €159 of eBay from a German seller. CDs mint, box and book near mint. I am overjoyed. I contemplated buying the set in the nineties, but couldn't justify doing so then as a newbie jazz fan. The new Mingus box set could be delivered any day now.
  10. Hello, this is my first post here. I ordered the David Murray Octet box a while ago and was shocked by the sound of Ming. I couldn't tell what was exactly wrong with it until I discovered organissimo. Luckily I was able to return the box set. I did, however, find another defect not mentioned here. I listen on headphones exclusively and on the fifth track of Home, 3-D Family, at about 6:47 I could clearly hear some digital noise (that's how I would describe it). This is not present on the original CD release of Home. Has anyone else noticed this? It would probably only be clearly noticable on headphones. I heard this once before on a badly remastered CD, the most recent issue of Charles Mingus' Changes One or Two, also not present on the original Rhino CD. My Black Saint & Soul Note collection mainly consits of Murray and Andrew Hill discs and I would love to delve into these sets, but feel I might be better of tracking down individual releases of albums that interest me instead. Overal, I think the Black Saint & Soul Note studio albums I own on CD recorded from about the time of Home onwards all sound quite wonderfull and weren't really in need of remastering. Apart from the defect mentioned above the new mastering of Home didn't strike me as an improvement, but then I'm no expert.
