Selling 15 year old jazz in 1970 was no easy feat. Savoy didn't even try. Riverside - and then ABC - gave up. Prestige tried, kept going and succeeded. If you look at that whole series (linked above), it was actually very well done in terms of overall quality. The liner notes alone were worth the cost of admission. Some of those albums have been rendered obsolete. But some remain my preferred version, even today. Like. I bought that Sonny Stitt Bebop Sides set and found that the Prestige silver colored cover release was more satisfying in every regard, especially because Side 1 was the whole crux of the matter. Efficient!

Johns Hopkins, you know, the old radio doctor.

Whenever I did a recording session, I would try to get a dub of the entire session, because that's what really happened. The final product is not that. But from the typical consumer standpoint... most people go to movies, not theatre. And there's a reason why most rehearsals are not open to the public. Maybe they should be, but they aren't. Mingus was the most noble of exceptions. And he was one splicing motherfucker when it came to records. Illusion is where the money is!

Is she still alive? Or has that part of her still waiting to be reissued? Remember Rosco P. Coltrane? I don't think that he was in any way a tribute to John Coltrane.

Of course they were cheap. This was before Prestige got bought by Fantasy. A totally indie label then. Bob Weinstock was making his money from Bob Porter & Soul Jazz. There was not necessarily a big market for this stuff yet. Yet. But the times were changing and not everybody was enjoying that. So they created a rather interesting "series" (or two...) and gave it a unified look. Cheap, but unified. What stood out her was that they were actually starting to think of their material as period-historic. Prior to that, there was a lot of reissuing the same record with new covers, stuff like that. And a lot(?) of it had been allowed to go OOP. IIRC, the Prestige 24000 series was more or less the big bang of the 2-fer boom. Then Prestige bought Milestone and began doing the same thing with the Riverside catalog. And then Fantasy bought them and one thing led to another, meaning OJC, of which I was not an unqualified fan. But that's reading ahead

Second hand Alan Lowe? Quite the contrary!

I loved it. The photos were more or less always time-period accurate, which was a real changeup for Prestige.

Here some Charles Brown organ is.

Whatever happened to Chi Coltrane?

Rusty Cardona - Off The Fence & Through the Gate - Rusty's Here Now!!!

Uh, $20.99 LPs only?

Still not sure why they never (on single LP) combined the Schildkraut session onto one LP side. It could have fit, in that 1968 LP kind of way.

It is. Although, it's possible that there was a more heated exchange that was not captured on tape. Accounts vary.

this!

"Hey Rudy, put this on a record. ALL of it."

Those are long LP sides, and I don't think they're in actual session order? But at least it has been issued in complete form at least once. Yeah, the OJC fetishism only sometimes served the music well. In Miles' case, maybe not so much.

Strange, yes, but never? No! A warning about this, though - there are "rechanneled for stereo" versions out there:

The other early session that holds up well is the session with both Rollins & McLean. They're all worth revisiting, though. My least favorite would be the "...and Horns" album w/those arrangements. It does not sound like a good fit for Miles, imo. But otherwise, hey, it's all good. And all the sessions with Rollins...you got parallel/dual evolutions being documented there, so more bang for your buck!

I think I would go back to Collectors Items, with both Bird & Rollins on tenor. The 24000 series twofer is an even better listen. Also note that my generation was pre-OJC and came across this catalog in either 24000 series two-fers or, before that, the Prestige Historical Series https://www.discogs.com/label/305455-Prestige-Historical-Series ex: This series invariably had luscious, still-definitive, liner notes.

True on all counts! That dude is just laying it in the pocket and covering the range. and it's part of the Two Different Worlds thing as well!

I'm good with leaving it as is, you in October, me in November. Lock it in, final answer.

I recently found a stash of wild turkey call records produced for hunters. I think I have my November theme already!

Crap, I didn't read. Tim already has October. I'll gladly take November. Please. Sorry for the confusion, which was all mine.

This Johns Hopkins guy has been around longer than the Epuck Times and this is what he says: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/vaccines/vaccines-faq#:~:text=These%20people%20have%20asymptomatic%20infection,body%20and%20from%20causing%20disease. How do vaccines work? Vaccines stimulate the human body’s own protective immune responses so that, if a person is infected with a pathogen, the immune system can quickly prevent the infection from spreading within the body and causing disease. In this way, vaccines mimic natural infection but without actually causing the person to become sick. For SARS-CoV-2, antibodies that bind to and block the spike protein on the virus’s surface are thought to be most important for protection from disease because the spike protein is what attaches to human cells, allowing the virus to enter our cells. Blocking this entrance prevents infection. Not all people who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop disease (Covid-19 is the disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2). These people have asymptomatic infection but can still transmit the virus to others. In general, most vaccines do not completely prevent infection but do prevent the infection from spreading within the body and from causing disease. Many vaccines can also prevent transmission, potentially leading to herd protection whereby unvaccinated people are protected from infection by the vaccinated people around them because they have less chance of exposure to the virus. We are still learning whether or not the current Covid-19 vaccines prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2. It is likely they reduce the risk of virus transmission but probably not completely in everyone. This is one of the reasons why it will still be important for people to continue wearing masks and practicing physical distancing, even after being vaccinated.

October 2023 for me, please.
