Go with it and get a copy if I were you. I have had it for more years than I care to remember and love it. Treat yourself to a copy whilst you are buying one for a friend

I have the two fer cd and the japanese copy of my people...saw it an thought ...that ain't gonna be on the OJC series so nabbed it immediately Nice cd too The other two I had a lps and then sold them and got the twofer cd the profit from the lps paid big bucks towards the tocj cds from erm either mundo/hiroshi or dusty groove BGP have put some stonkin jazz out without much noise.....houston person was one with 'the real thing'

Spot on compared to the Ruppli in front of me at the mo .......even has the same is you or is you theme.....guess the may not be the only ones

Was this what you wanted ? Maybe not on second view Got it from gokudo jazz site in japan http://www.gokudo.co.jp/Record/BlueNote2/bn1500%20034.jpg sorry it was too big for the size allowed

I'm with you there. There have been some hideous CD's (the first 'Kind of Blue' issue and some other CBS and MCA titles come to mind), but the Blue Notes and OJC's have always sounded pretty good to me considering the age of the material. The Blue Note CD's I really long for are the later Bobby Hutcherson titles such as 'Rosewood', which haven't ever been released on CD in any form. Was rosewood a woody shaw release with bobby hutcherson on it ? Cannot remember Anyway there are plenty of Bobby Hutchersons to go at either with or without Harold Land I would love to have seen a mosaic set of his 70s stuff for instance ( although Natural Illusions never agreed with me!) favourite at the moment is Waiting.....and Montara

Discwasher................you actually said discwasher not dishwasher................... I wrote it down wrong and they have finished the rinse cycle along with my spaghetti and look a little 'bendy' Will an iron work to make em straight again?

it would be nice if they did a retro cover for it...you know in a reid miles type of way....just for us old timers

Ihave it and its a killer session.....really cooks

Who or rather what is Manchester United?

and while we on the subject of Lou Donaldson, he has given plenty of interviews..all of varying interest ...here are a few http://www.chicagopublicradio.org/audio_li...oudonaldson.ram also here where he says http://www.jazzprofessional.com/interviews...20Donaldson.htm "In ‘68 with Blue Note we got a hit with a little tune called “Alligator Boogaloo”. In fact, I was the first jazz musician to do something like that; but it sold, man. I made a lot of money—no regrets about that. People like Lonnie Smith and George Benson were on the record; so that was a real good band. As for the commercial–type albums I made in the ‘seventies, the ideas for these came from the company. See, I had put the bite on ‘em for a sizeable amount of money, and it’s like any other business—as long as you play free, you do just about whatever you want to do. The minute you put demands on the company for money, they put demands on you for what to play. They bring in an A. and R. man. What they think they’re doing is bringing in somebody to make sure that they’ve got a saleable product, but actually, what they really do is kill everything they have." by the way I have also just used google book search .........WOW! anyway enjoy!

Interesting post even if some of was a crock of the proverbial -_- Interesting though I too remember the BNBB board discussion and Blue Note people were also chasing relatives of former artists the Mobleys and Willettes as well as as living ones etc so there were some who were (pre liberty ) in receipt of royalties. As for fraud and stealing.......well business practices seem to insist upon now and I am sure they did then Andy

I think I may have a scan of the rear of this at home...let me have a scout around....I am hoping I never lost it when I got the mosaic select It replaced a very nice cdr I had of the two fer

Its a service I provide for dusty cds

mike fitzgerald said The Europeans were much more on the ball about this kind of thing. Quite a bit of their TV stuff has been saved. Its the pirates in us all matey ah har Both the authorities and fans have managed to save what little we have had on tv ....just in case I remember reading in some notes about Houston Person that the The Real Thing live at Watts Club Mozambique was recorded for TV....fancy finding that on a dvd!...I mean with GRANT GREEN!!!!!

I must admit I share you opinions regarding the 'progressive' playing of 'hard bop' players/ I really enjoy the style and substance of these recordings which rank among some of my nearest and dearest Blue Note recordings. I also see no difference between liking these and some standard fare recordings in a hard bop fashion. Its almost as if you are hearing two different artists sometimes I particularly liked the Lee Morgan sides with others as I hear a different sound than I hear on his classics ( love em though I do) Good topic and one that you could imagine on other artists.....or styles

Talking of which .......have a check of this one........offered ( with no takers yet!) for big big beans http://cgi.ebay.com/Meade-LUX-Lewis-THE-BL...1QQcmdZViewItem May as well get two at that price

I had forgotten all about that one.

Exactly ... what a bunch of dickheads ←

Anyone have a complete list of the 10" twofer CD's? I have a few of these from the McGhee / Drew / Farlow series... was that it or were there subsequent series? Looking for the Foster / Wallington & the Watkins now. Love the Melle as well. Thanks, T ← I remember when they came out wishing there were more but the 10 " series had a few ( In my opinion) horrors too...jazz from the UK..and other non blue note issues with ( yuk) 'strings' and other things I would have like to pick up the wade legge and maybe a few more but the ones I got.....were pretty good

Sorry bout the quality of this one...techie probs.....off to get a hammer!

and here is the Sal Salvador for those who still seek plus a piccie to annoy all those with a japanese copy as this was in the cd...courtesy of Blue Note....Wolff Images etc

and the Lou Mecca

Probably not. The Great Guitars CD is the only CD issue of the Lou Mecca Blue Note 10", AFAIK, or was this on a Toshiba single CD as well? ← I have these The Sal Salvador was on a Conn two fer with a capitol side thrown in for (bad!) luck The Lou Mecca was from the JRVG 3 series in 2001 ( no I am not THAT sad but it is here in my hand for the scanner!) The other one I picked up in that series was the Tal Farlow one ( also on the scan) which I picked up for not alot ...by the way the obis are tucked in side for all you obi nuts!

I have these.......either as the two fers on US Conn or Japanese issues and they are nice.......not all essential ......but that for now is irrelevant. My favourite was the hardest to find which was the Lou Mecca.....really different. Least enjoyed.....hmm maybe the poor sounding Hipp.....really liked her later stuff but this aint as good ( for me at least). I did like the Watkins and the Foster issues
