From the original inner gatefold of that album:

Nor McCartney.

Ok, this is really funny. I didn't write that at all - I stole it from another poster on another thread, somebody who's posted on this thread, somebody who has little to no use for rap/hip-hop. That person either didn't recognize their own words or else chose to ignore the theft. No matter, there is an irony at play here that was not appreciated then, and will probably be scorned/whatever now. Oh well! I think some people sometimes value their "opinions" more than they do their life. Sometimes a sunny spring day is a sunny spring day, fuck having an "opinion" about it. And sometimes shit stinks. Fuck having an "opinion" about that too. Me, I think we're all pretty much full of shit just as much as we are all beautiful. It's just a question of how honest we are with ourselves about how much of both we are at any given time. Enjoy, then!

Yeah, my recollection of the Whiskey material is that the horn section was not at all together, sometimes irritatingly so... less so the rhythm section, but still... Is the Concord London/Paris a repackaging/expansion of the Live In Europe LP? As Dana implies above, that was some tight shit!

Is there a preface by Stanley Dance?

"...and before that you heard Thelonious Monk with "In Walked Bud". That was recorded WAAAAAY back in December of 1963 & featured Joe Henderson on tenor, Lee Morgan on trumpet, Barry Harris on the piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass, & Billy Higgins on drums." If anybody needs further proof how fucked up America was in the immediate aftermath of the Kennedy assassination, here ya' go!

I keep hearing people preferring this version to the one on Smiley Smile, but...not me. For my money, the SS version is one of the most...envelope-pushing works of an era where envelop-pushing was more than a little common. A lot of Smiley Smile has an air of "giving up" to it, but this one is actually more elaborate/considered/fleshed-out/whatever than its predecessor in terms of both performance and production. And if you've not yet heard the fully-realized Smile...GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR. BUDDY!!! Seriously - everybody and their Dutch Uncle has their own "mix" of the original Smile (Google around for Beach Boys blogs and you'll see what I mean...), but the bottom line for me is this - these "mixes" are all from the same source materials, and those source materials are unfinished as far as fitting together go. That's why on this version of "Wind Chimes" it suddenly breaks off into that variant of the "Heroes & Villains" motif and never comes back (and that happens on a LOT of the Smile raw material..., which is why I prefer the SS version of the tune - they make an entire piece out of it instead of leaving it as a beautiful piece of a puzzle that never gets put together..). All of which is to say - the 2004 Smile is nothing but a triumph. It works, it works, it WORKS! The original....doesn't. Not ultimately. Give fullest props to Van Dyke, the Wondermints, and everybody else involved as well as to Brian, but this is essential music for anybody American Art-Pop aficionado. It's a glorious piece of work!

FWIW, I've seen the contents of this entire "box" being sold at various Half Price outlets for $5.95 as a data disc, emanating from somewhere w/different notions of copyright law than America.

Supposedly lots of tapes remain, although their condition has been the matter of much speculation. Joel Dorn was supposed to have struck a deal for them w/one of his labels, & a few things did appear, but not nearly as many as had been hoped for. The Sonny Stitt Left Bank album (w/the Stitt-Patterson-James trio) on Label M is a classic, imo. It's the Stitt organ group playing for a Stitt organ group crowd, if you know what I mean, and both ends are well-served as a result. A priceless document. Also, Fresh Sounds has come out w/some stuff, notably Lee w/Clifford Jordan & Wynton Kelly w/Hank. The Left Bank piano appears to have not been the best (to put it mildly) and that bugs some people, but "people of a certain age" realize that that was what you got more often than not in a club.

Was there a single producer for this series?

OOOOOHHHHHH!!! Never heard (or heard of) tha one. I'm a big Shirley Horn fan. Gotta look for this one. Thanks!

That's another set for the estate's allegedly forthcoming "Bootleg Series" - the Miles/Trane European tour of 1960. Nothing is as brain-shattering as the Paris gig that started it off(?), but there is nothing less than excellent to be heard from that entire tour. Trane really shook everybody up & had them playing at the very top of their collective game.
