Look down in the lower right hand corner, below the CTI logo. They gave each LP of the set its own number. CTI 6031/32. The Quad thing didn't change that.

That's how a Jeffrey Epstein type story gains traction and then goes off into the goofyshpere of Q-Anon, just like that. These are not good people. But they are given power and privilige anyway, because let's face it, it's the choice that too many people would make for themselves if given the opportunity, so they allow it in hopes that it will rub off/filter down on/to them. Fucking pigs.

And you were on the Pulitzer jury....now it starts to make sense.

Because Chombo.

Ted Gioa has been a manufactured rage-machine lately, imo. I don't subscribe (aka pay) for his stuff (nor, to his cresit, are you required to), but it seems like every time somebody sends me something of his, there's this rageyness going on that seems totally directed towards making me think that he is One Righteous Dude. The guy wrote a TOTALLY magnificent book about West Coast Jazz, but since then.... And now...he bills himself as "The Honest Broker", so at least he warns you in advance.

Nope. 1999. https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/duke-ellington He was dead then. He's still dead now.

And I'm kinda, like, ok with leaving them to twist and slowly dry forever in the bright unyielding sun of history. Fuck them then, fuck them now, and fuck them forever. https://hearingthepulitzers.podbean.com/e/episode-23-1965-no-prize-the-pulitzer-hat-trick/ This is a good episode.

Did 23's AC break down?

Just had a look through all 1973 issues, and guess what - they didn't review it at all.

firewall...

Maybe they can take Wynton's away and give it to Duke instead? Damage done, though.

Ok, the "ocd" in me kicked in, and I went to the closet and looked through every down beat from 1973 and into the 1974 issues until the one when Duke died. That's enough. Contrary to hopes, I did not find any reviews of Soul Box, but perhaps/definitely relevant to numbering convention of the Creed Taylor labels, there was a half-page advert for Don Sebesky's Giant Box. CTX 6031/32 and check this out: and then... They didn't break this one out into two singles, but if they had...

Push aside that ack-ack!!!!!!

I read that, and am not convinced. Possible retro-fittin the assumption to the fact, maybe. This guy feels differently: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/grover-washington-jr-soul-box-grover-washington-jr-by-c-andrew-hovan Originally released as a two-record set in 1973, Soul Box has in the past been issued as two separate volumes, both on vinyl and compact discs, although the CD versions were available for only the shortest of time. To this date, this set has never been reissued in its entirety and in a fashion that recalls the original packaging and graphics.

I do remember a time where some double LPs would be numbered as two combined single LPs instead of one single number...but that was a long time ago, and there was no standard. I guess if anybody cares (and really, should they? LOL), the thing to do would be to find an old Schwann catalog and find out for real. That Bobby Jones is a good record. The one where I finally heard what all the earlier fuss had been about.

Doesn't make sense to me to use the word "box" in a title for something like this if there's not a box...Wikipedia is only reliable until they're not...Discogs lists all three with a release date of 1973... and KU-12, KU-13, and then KU1213...let's see what was KU-14? Esther Phillips - Black-Eyed Blues look at this - Grover Washington, Jr. – Soul Box that sure LOOKS like the original concept to me? It also looks like could have given each LP in the box it's own #, in sequence, and then used those to break it out to sell as sinle LPs to move more product. I'm just saying....I do recall the box. But not necessarilyas the original issue. But the "box" box makes more sense to me. I think, maybe,

I was there at the time, and hell if I can remember... but that would be a bit counter intuitive, to sell two records first and then combine them right away, to sell only one unit. There's this, from the box, if that's any indicator: Hell, maybe they did it all at the same time.

Am I correct in remembering that this was originally an actual box with 2 LPs?

Agendas abound. Everywhere. That's what happens when organic communities disappear and synthetic ones tale their place.

It's actually one of, if not the first(?) records of the "middle period" coming as it did right after the move to New York. I think it's a wonderful album, myself. Not least because for those of you who like to do the "Gilmore/Coltrane...who influenced who????" game, this is the best evidence you have to work with in terms of time/place. But also - the presence of Bernard McKinney makes a difference, in both solo time and ensemble color. And the reed section is glorious on this one. Glorious!!!

That is really some of the loosest Getz I've heard.

An board admin is going to have to fix this. It's not affecting performance that I can see.

How would that work?

Admin CP is accessible only by the board's admin. btw - Moderators are not admins. Unless and until it gets resolved, live with it. You might even come to like it!

Thanks!
