Pre-order low on Amazon UK including VAT and shipping to the Netherlands is £16.97 thus far. True, but the single disc reissue from 2002 or so can be bought for a couple of dollars and probably contains all the available outtakes. So between that reissue, the restored Blackhawk sets, and At Carnegie Hall, is there anything else with Mobley that has failed to see the light of day? A great extra to those three items is the early 90s MFSL CD of Someday My Prince Will Come which contains the original Teo Macero mix and sounds superb.

Thanks. I've put a couple of your recommendations on my bookmarks list for January.

Didn't they remaster everything with Hank Mobley for release on CD in the space of a couple of years? Sure, it was not a metal spine set, but they restored every excised/shortened Mobley solo on the Blackhawk sets. What previously unreleased material was left to make a box set feasible?

For me it also a long time favourite. In the late nineties/early 00s I always put the Vogue Solo Piano CD on repeat in my Discman when I went shopping for groceries at the busy local supermarket. I had just about every note on that album memorised. As a consequence, I have listened to it less often since.

Of all the officially released material from the April 1960 tour, the Concertgebouw CD sounds worst imo. Horns clearly audible, drums poorly captured. Coltrane's playing is also lackluster compared to Scheveningen and Paris. The concert was short, only 4 lengthy tracks on CD 1, plus a 50 sec introduction and The Theme (57 sec.). CD 1 tracks 7 & 8 and CD 2 are all from October 1960 (Sonny Stitt). Quality reissue, but not essential.

CD Japan's claim: Includes six unreleased takes of "Blue Train" and "Moment's Notice." The 75th anniversary SHM-CD (TYCJ-81001) contained all these takes of Blue Train except the false start (track 8) and studio chatter (track 11). According to Michael Cuscuna's liner notes takes 7 (then previously unreleased), 8, and 9 were included, with 9 being the master and containing the piano solo from take 8. This means only the two alternates of Moment's Notice are new, and one of them is incomplete, plus one more alternate of Lazy Bird. Conclusion: very poor value for money.

The March 1960 Paris concert with Coltrane is earth-shattering. Wow! I will gladly buy this music one last time as a Bootleg Series release.

This 2005 Newport Jazz Festival recording released in 2016 is a must for anyone who loves the two quartet albums Lovano released in 2004 & 2005 with Hank Jones. https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Live-Newport-Joe-Lovano/dp/B00U1GLIS6

It even has the Deutsche Grammophon biohazard label for historically appalling sound quality.

There is an 11 CD box Anthony Braxton Sextet (Parker) 1993 in the pipeline. To be released spring 2018 through Bandcamp. Dear Friendly Experiencer,The holiday season is upon us and we have three free albums for you on our website until the end of the year. We hope you enjoy them! Come December 31st, we will be shutting down the site for a short while, and will be back with a new Bandcamp page and more. If you have albums in your account which you have not downloaded yet, please do so by the end of the year. Your accounts will not be carried over to the new site.This year, we are trying something new with our special end-of-the-year fundraising campaign of which one of the rewards is the advanced copy of Sextet (Parker) 1993, the long-awaited 11-CD box set of Braxton's interpretations of the Charlie Parker songbook (official release spring 2018).Due to a decrease in funding as well as changes in revenue from our album sales, we need your help to carry us through some major projects scheduled for next year. If the work Tri-Centric has produced in the past, the projects we are engaged in right now, and the initiatives we are developing for the future are meaningful to you - please consider making a tax-deductible contribution on our fundraising page.In 2017, we were able to provide rarely performed Braxton scores to stellar ensembles and soloists across the globe including the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra (UK), MusikFabrik (Germany), The Jack String Quartet (U.S.), ICE (U.S.), Either/Or (U.S.), Wet Ink Ensemble (U.S.), and many others. We also recorded two major new box sets that will be released in the coming year: the complete Syntactical Ghost Trance Music with a twelve member vocal choir; and, in partnership with Firehouse 12 Records, the debut recordings of Braxton’s ZIM Music Ensemble - a group ranging from six to nine musicians including the composer, with the unusual instrumentation including two harps, reeds, brass, cello, and accordion. We are currently renovating our website and plan to unveil our Bandcamp page in early 2018. Through Bandcamp, we will be officially releasing Sextet (Parker) 1993. The Syntactical Ghost Trance Music recording release is also in the calendar. Tri-Axium Writings is being revised right now, which we plan to distribute free of charge when ready. We will continue to make more Braxton scores available to the public. And that's just the tip of the iceberg; we have major plans in the works which we will be announcing when the time is right, building towards an international celebration of Braxton's 75th birthday in 2020. Help us keep going! No amount is too small. We thank you for your support this year, and wish you a wonderful and safe holiday season. All the best, Tri-Centric Team https://www.generosity.com/fundraising/tri-centric-foundation

Any hidden gems there besides Flight for Four which International Phonograph already reissued definitively?

Yes, regular jewel case with smooth glossy black tray. The OBI strip has a photo of Grundman behind a board on the front. Another photo of him in the booklet. https://www.amazon.fr/Sonny-Clark-Trio-Shm-CD-USA/dp/B001DETH38/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1512750229&sr=8-2&keywords=sonny+clark+trio+shm-cd One copy left, but unfortunately the price has gone up a bit.

These three 4 CD sets arrived earlier today. Only £10 + shipping each. Leo Records's Sale of the Century.

Now listening to Booker Ervin's The Freedom Book on APO SACD. Predictably excellent. Packaging is indeed a super jewel case. Inside back artwork has overview of all 25 stereo titles, like for the Impulse! series.

It also has a 16 page bilingual booklet with both old and new writings.

Ah. I hadn't found that yet. Could be, except the SHM does not sound like a BN Works TOCJ-era mastering, though that 1996 Japanese Lighthouse disc is not from that series. Nor does it sound like a RVG or 00s Japanese 24bit mastering to me. Matrix ring says UCCQ-3009, not TOCJ-6039.

Track times for all tunes on the SHM-CD match those in the 3CD set's booklet. SHM-CD Introduction by Lee Morgan [2:00] Beehive [15:17] Something Like This [13:01] Speedball [11:54] Nommo [17:50] The Sidewinder [13:40]

The studio tracks are in better sound than on the 90s black Vogue digipak or the Japanese CD (mastering from 2005). Warm sound, and Monk introduces two of the studio tunes (he makes one mistake). Simply the best presentation of this music yet, and dirt cheap.

No, it really is a different track selection. I am fine with that, because I haven't lived with this music for decades like others here have.

I just noticed the SHM-CD contains only two tracks from the original 2 LP set ( https://www.discogs.com/Lee-Morgan-Live-At-The-Lighthouse/release/1938710 ): Beehive and Nommo.
