I've had a few days to spin both Ghetto Music and Lift Every Voice. Ghetto Music sounds great, I only have a needle drop cd-r to compare it to but this remaster sounds great to me. Lift Every Voice is fantastic!! I don't know how I've gone so long without hearing this! Not sure these remasters are worth replacing anything already purchased though. Will have to further investigate. I will use these SHM-CD's to fill missing holes over RVG's though. Already purchased a copy of Frank Foster - Manhattan Fever (mainly because it was $5) and looking into a few other titles I don't own.

Does anyone have the Don Cherry SHM-CD and Rudy Van Gelder remasters and can advise if the remastering is worth upgrading? I hate purchasing titles twice but Don is essential music to me and will if the quality is decidedly better.

Sweet! This has me more excited! No need to pass up a Blue Note title on Water Records, they did a fabulous job with their reisseus from the label. Appreciate the info! I wasn't sure at the time and didn't want to get some bootleg cd. I'll keep that in mind on my future hunts though.

Picked up these two: Eddie Gale - Eddie Gale's Ghetto (TYCJ-81084) Andrew Hill - Lift Every Voice (TYCJ-81090) I passed on a used copy of the Eddie a copy years ago because it was some non-Blue Note issue. The Andrew Hill I've never heard, but I'll always take a flyer on his work.

Maybe I'm incorrect, but basically they are taking a higher source, studio masters at a bit rate higher than cd, and compressing it to a comparable MP3 size without the loss of the high end frequencies? Seems like an interesting process, but seems like it may be cost prohibitive in most applications.

Thanks for bringing up the testimonials. Hilarious. "I put on my serious listening ears" is an awesome quote.

I've been super excited about finding a CD before. Vinny Golia - Puff of Smoke comes to mind, and the James Booker - United, Together We Stand that jeffcrom graciously helped me obtain. If purchases were made just based on obscurity, Chuck has a valid point. I picked up Tim Berne - The Five Year Plan a few months ago at a spot I like to visit every couple of months. Usually I can find a couple albums I like cheap but the Tim Berne really got me excited.

Donald Bailey - So In Love Only gotten to listen to Side 1 so far. LP was in rough shape due to being dirty when I bought it two years ago. Cleaned it with wood glue and I'm getting to hear it for the first time. Awesome.

Haha, She sat through the last VInny and Bradford set with me in Oct without complaint, and we had a cross-country flight the next morning, so I'll give her a pass. She's not really a Vinny fan either.

how are you connecting to your computer? into a DAC with RCA inputs? Your experiencing a feedback loop but without more details its hard to tell what is causing it.

He's playing Monday the 24th at the Blue Whale in Los Angeles with VInny Golia. I'll be there, although the lady in my life is declining since its a "school night".

Yes please!!

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know if there are SHM-CD releases of the Prestige Bluesville series?

Black Ace - Black Ace

I got a few of these really cheap at a local store, 1/3 of the price and love them. Especially for the price I paid. I think they are the "promo" versions with the sticker on the OBI. Picked up some stereo releases too.

yes, I'm experiencing the same issue. What am I paying for? I ordered something monday and it qouted me Thurs delivery and was going to order something today, quoted me Monday. Wonder what the deal is.

Thanks for pointing that out. It wasn't showing up on their site at first, but it is currently listed as being available. I've placed an order. I'm really excited to hear it. No problem. I just hate their ordering "system". So many times I've placed orders, nothing arrives and then I email them weeks later and they tell me its out of stock. I've also gotten emails that they received my order a week after it arrived in my mailbox. I know they're supposedly going to update their system, but I'll probably hold off until they do. there is still squidco.

Looking for a copy of James Booker - United, Our Thing Will Stand. I know its on Amazon, but a little pricier than i'm willing to pay. Looking to spend around $30.

Cd is available at DTMG based on the newsletter I got this morning.

Fading is also an effective way to limit track time to fit on a side cassette or LP. Instead of cutting the last chorus abruptly, fade it out to sound cleaner and make room for another track.

Looking for this Francis Wong release. DTMG has had it on pre-order for years but never in-stock. Any help would be appreciated.

Caught Steve Coleman and the Five Elements last night at the Blue Whale. Excellent show! 2+ hours of Steve and Jonathan Finlayson trading jabs was a treat

CEDAR is amazing... and destructive to your pocket.

I'm debating on going to get it. Doubt its worth it aside from a collector standpoint.

If you're still looking for it I have a copy I can sell you. Listened to it once. $18 shipping included.
