We discussed this a few weeks back, I put up a clearer list here I assume they are going to keep doing these so hopefully Compassion will be in next batch

Queen Of the Organ on Impulse is coming out again on cd in Japan for first time in 25 plus years in June too https://merurido.jp/item.php?pdid=UCCI9342

Another Strata East album finally gets a cd reissue! https://arc-records.bandcamp.com/album/one-for-me

Most Japanese reissues recently seem to omit any bonus tracks that appeared on similar Western counterpart versions, I wonder if its a licensing thing or purely to keep it just like the original version.

I’ve always been interested in the Jack De Johnette - Jackeyboard one, amazingly in these days of everything being available I have never come across a rip or leak of it anywhere! Does anyone have it, what’s it like?

2nd series of this coming out in April with a few first time on cd https://merurido.jp/topic.php?srcbnr=38801 ● Tommy Flanagan / Super Session ● Elvin Jones / Live At The Village Vanguard ● Mar Waldron / Up Popped The Devil ● Benny Wallace / Live At The Public Theater ● Hampton Hawes / Live at the Jazz Showcase Chicago Vol.1 ● Manfred Shoof Meets ・ Yosuke Yamashita Trio / Distant Thunder (World's First CD) ● Dollar Brand / African Space・ Program (first CD in Japan) ● Pepper Adams / Julian ● Yosuke Yamashita / Bansuri Kana ● John Scofield / Rough House ● Joe Lovano / Sounds of Joy ● Abby Lincoln / Abbey Things Billy Holiday Vol.1 ● Aki Takase-David Murray / Blue Monk ● Niels Pedersen-Philipp Katereen / Art of the Duo ● Max Roach / Long as Your Living (First CD in Japan) ● Aki Takase / Clapping MusicCarl Berga ー & Masahiko Sato / With Silence (World's first CD) ● Sun Ra & His Omniverses Orchestra / Destination Unknown ● Trio M / The Guest House (Japan's first CD) ● Ron Miles Bill Friesel-Brian Blade / Circuit Rider (First CD in Japan)

It’s been listed on the Strata East site for years yes but this is first time it’s actually been listed on a proper vendors site so hoping for the best! so no one has any idea what time period the Trenches session is from?

Just noticed that Dusty Groove now have this cd ( I assume it’s same version, it’s listed as just on Strata East) coming into stock soon for those who balked at Mosaics postage. Also listed coming in next couple of weeks is one by him entitled “In The Trenches”, anyone know what this is, is it some of the long promised archive stuff that was mentioned years back?? https://www.dustygroove.com/item/944527?incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date&format=cd https://www.dustygroove.com/item/944626?incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date&format=cd Just found an old mention of In The Trenches here, no date of recording though http://www.serecs.com/coming.html

It actually sounds really great sound wise going by the bandcamp sample and is that period just after the Impulse years and the one album he made for India Navigation, i’m not that familiar with the other players in the band though.

its still considerably more than vinyl sales!, in the uk last year 28 million cds were sold and 4.3 million LPs, by your logic why bother with vinyl either. An interesting read https://www.superdeluxeedition.com/feature/saturday-deluxe-18-january-2020/#more-155797

Utterly ridiculous, where is the business sense of these people, much like the Frank Low / Rashid Ali item , if they are not going to bother with cd then i'll just download illegally, they need to realise that there is still a good market for jazz cds and most people (on here at least) like a physical product and are unlikely to pay for digital files, the cost to produce cds is negligible comparatively.

Just saw this listed on CDJapan http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/SICJ-10012?utm_source=MAIL&utm_medium=text-genre&utm_campaign=Jazz-20191211-genre-SICJ-10012 i didn’t get the Bitches Brew once since have too many copies already but am v tempted by this one.

I order from them frequently on Amazon.UK and always been great

Some interesting selections here, https://merurido.jp/topic.php?srcbnr=36703 a few getting their first cd issues i believe like the Takeo Moriyama

Of all the multiple covers made for that release over the years I would have loved them to have used the one from this Japanese reissue version, it’s pretty out there! https://www.discogs.com/Dollar-Brand-Gato-Barbieri-Alone-Together/release/7634805

My copy turned up a couple of days, sounds fantastic to me, way better than I was expecting sound wise!

I saw him at Glastonbury, much too trad and big band by numbers for me but it was a fun show and he is nothing if not charming!

I have most of that baystate series, there’s some great stuff. It’s a shame they didn’t continue it further since there’s still a few not on cd, this max roach set with billy harper looks interesting https://www.discogs.com/Max-Roach-Quartet-Live-in-Amsterdam/release/6041737

That’s a real blow, they were quality releases, there must be tons of great material that is still worth reissuing. i would like to see the sales numbers for them, the last one with Coltrane must have done pretty well surely, it got a ton of great press at the very least. What with Dylan, the grateful Dead etc churning out endless reissues, is Miles really that far behind?

Just saw this list of new mini LP reissues coming out via Deep Jazz Reality in July. https://merurido.jp/topic.php?srcbnr=32620 they all seem pretty obscure, does anyone know much about them, the harold land one sounds pretty nice https://www.discogs.com/Makoto-Terashita-Meets-Harold-Land-Topology/release/5731669

often they repackage releases using older versions artwork, the correct cat no will be on obi & disc

I would highly recommend "The Believer" on Baystate which goes for a pretty penny on CD as well as his work on Gil Evans' "Svengali" which is sublime.

What’s the packaging like, never been v impressed by Mosaics artwork/ packaging in past.

$15 postage for a cd to UK, ouch, wonder if this will end up on Amazon. wouldn’t be suprised to see Japanese mini lp version surfacing sooner than later so might wait for that.
