to all of that and to Jeff for posting the 78 - very cool!

ordered this a few days ago - liked the samples on the Posi-Tone web site

It is kind of hard to describe the experience of seeing him live. No doubt I am a fan of both the Beatles and his solo stuff. But as great as the music was, there was something culturally going on that is wholly unique. Not an intellectual thing per se "oh, he was the soundtrack to our lives, blah, blah, blah", more of a shared/communal experience with the rest of the audience. Seeing/feeling the entire crowd sing along (half of them in tears), regardless of age was just magical for lack of a better word. Sounds sappy, like I am some ancient boomer pining for days gone by , but it was real. Or to quote my previously disinterested wife about three songs in "OMG, it's Paul F-ing McCartney!!!" ​

I saw him at Sprint Center a few years ago and had a similar reaction. Amazing - not a cynical eye left in the house

Cuscuna says as much in the brief notes that accompany the CDs. Neither guilty pleasures nor unheralded gems, that is for sure.

Just picked up that one myself, did not realize it was "running low". Really nice music.

I've owned a Mac since 1984 and I still don't get (or consequently use) iPhoto ... PS - wholehearted recommendation for the Air of course!

Same here

With the exception of one single and two mono versions, appears to be the same as this: http://www.amazon.com/Mwandishi-Complete-Warner-Bros-Recordings/dp/B001A3GSMA/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1404754858&sr=1-4&keywords=herbie+hancock+warners Pass ...

Hi James, Received the Cherry and Young sets today. As mentioned above, very well packaged!! Thanks, Eric

Dusty Groove now has a bunch of these

Best steakhouse for my money is Anton's Taproom, 16th & Main. Been there 4-5 times, superb steak every time.

here we go again ...

PM on Don Cherry

Amazon has some "good" copies as well in that range.

BTW, this may be posted above, but the basis for the series, per the Universal site. Thirty titles in total, all released 6/25/14. I did not attempt to improve upon the Google translation, dorks like us know exactly what they are talking about Part1 The Original Unreleased from 1500 & 4000 Series at the time of release No. 1500, series of 4000, while numbers are determined, work that has not been released. Part2 GXF Series by KING Records the world's first appearance as a series (aka GXF series), King records 1979-80 year had the right to release Blue Note in Japan, released the unreleased album series. Original of these has become a collector's item of the coveted current. I reproduce the original jacket popular board of the series this time. Part3 EMI-Blue Note Discoveries 1984年, EMI to determine the revival of the Blue Note in earnest. Even after becoming the CD era, precious unreleased take some have seen the light of day.

Bertrand, as you seem to have an insight - any update on the "Back to the Tracks" Bonus titles ? From the Universal site in Japan: 06. Meronezu Dance (seems to be a bad translation, not sure what the title is) 07. Medina http://www.universal-music.co.jp/p/UCCQ-5002?s=119022 That's very interesting. There are seven unissued tracks from the same sessions - could have been another album!

Wow, has it been that long? Aside from a couple of the earlier records, this music was previously unknown to me. With the exception of the Lighthouse material (which I simply have not listened to), I have really come to enjoy the set. Tunes are interesting and great playing all over the place. Classic Mosaic "discovery" for me.

Skagly has been discussed elsewhere, but this set has really grown on me over the years. I enjoy it more than Super Blue, the so-called "jazziest" of his Columbia dates. Sweet compilation.

We have nothing in Kansas City. Zip. It is depressing.

Happy Birthday!!

Cool! The Blasters were in KC last Friday - was out of town and missed it. Heard it was a great show.

Sorry, I am a little confused - no book, but there are liner notes?

Sounds like you have under-ordered the number of records, not sleeves
