I was wondering about that too. I haven't read the whole thread, but all I've recently seen were posts about the Stitt set being unavailable. I gotta think that $4.98 for a triple-disc set was a pricing error & that they either sold our super-fast or somehow froze the stock for a future repricing.

Yeah, hard to believe now, but WB/Reprise used to have a reputation as an "artist's label" from the late 60's thru the mid 70s...they even tried to get people to listen to Van Dyke Parks by, what was it, giving away or selling for a penny, copies of Song Cycle...it was a different time then...

If you got it, you got it.

Both...the "Loss Leaders" series. And IIRC, they started out at a buck each and would often enough contain material not available elsewhere, at least early on... http://www.dustbury.com/music/wbloss.html http://www.dustbury.com/music/wblist2.html

That one too, but the most "intriguing" one for me is the last..the one w/"In Your Own Sweet Way", "No Line", & "Vierd Blues". That's where you can hear that Miles has finally become MILES and Sonny has finally become SONNY, kinda like two brothers who grow up together real close and finally each go out on their own. Hm, I'll have to revisit that date then, sounds intriguing. I've never thought of it like that... I always thought Miles was quite MILES on those 1954 sessions w/Horace (Walkin', Bags' Groove, the Blue Note quartet date). Yeah, pretty much so, but the one thing still not fully there was that absolute confidence to be wholly himself, w/no last vestiges of his earlier self. He's getting there, he's almost there, but still isn't all the way there. That's just how I hear it.

I really like the "Dig" session though...it's rough and tumble, poorly recorded, the "personal problems" of the era coming through every note but not at all taking over...it really is a rare moment in time captured here...one of those brightly dark "this is as good as THIS is gonna get...gonna have to move on at some point...once we get ourselves together" type things that the "East" was dealing with while the sunny "West Coast" was in the spotlight.

But who is Adrian Drover?

Yeah, a nice arrangement. Very similar to the one on Don Ellis's 'Underground' LP from the same vintage. Wonder if Ellis contributed that chart? Nope, Adrian Drover did, per my LP, which claims that Drover also did "MacArthur Park". Mansfield only arranged Side II ("L-DOPA!"), but is listed as the album's producer.

Yes, that's the MF record where I first heard of him, way back when. Didn't he also do that one that nobody paid attention to, the one that came between MF Horn & MF Horn 2, the one that was all top 40 hits? This one? Yeah, that's the one. Sidewinder is that the US version of the one you're talking about?

Wow! There was a long version! Good work Jim! Keith Mansfield has apparently become a hero among crate-diggers. I never made the association w/Maynard until a few days ago... http://slice-of-spice.blogspot.com/2009/07...-mf-horn-2.html

Used in one of those bumpers, by Keith Mansfield, who did some popular arrangements for Maynard in the 70s. Who knew?

I wonder who composed this little gem? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ00rK2fEp4...feature=related

Remember the Candy Band? Sure ya' do!

Here's the one I remember better:

"Classic" I don't know about, but you got two future giants each well on their way to becoming exactly that playing side by side and mutually inspiring each other. Plus you get the Miles/Newk/Bird-on-tenor session, and the Miles/Newk/McLean Blakey date each "classic" enough for me, anyway.

With liner notes by Garrett Morris, I'm told.

Storage space and amount of sonic information that can be put on one, but what else that I'm not thinking of? I still believe that the properly recorded analog LP (or 78 for that matter? but my experience there is limited) with the proper playback equipment can sound as good as a properly recorded digital CD with etc. Some would say sounds better than, but I've never done the necessary scrupulous A/B comparisons, usually preferring to listen to music. Chuck would know the specifics better than I, but you had to play games with the bass if the side ran too long.
