They used the Jazz In Silhouette version of "Saturn", not the single. So don't get rid of that Evidence set just yet (if you were going to, that is). That's where the real single version is.

Also available as individual CDs if you like. My favorite is Vol. 4.

Not just Blue Notes, but all the Liberty labels - Pacific Jazz particularly.

That "connect the dots" approach is a good one, but it only worked if you had steady access to a good record store...until the internet came along, anyway...

I stopped buying "rock" records in late1970 (I think that Burnt Weenie Sandwich was the last one?) and didn't even start even considering them until 1976 or so., so this is all about jazz and jazz-tangential records. My biggest source was a discount department store called Treasure City, kind of a cross between what is today something like Big Lots and Wal-Mart. They sold regular releases, but had bins, rows of bins, of cutouts. There wer other stores in the area that also handled cutouts, but Treasure City was a place you could spend an hour or more just thumbing through those cutouts. And the stock was not stale, the pond would be restocked at regular intervals, so to speak. My earliest rule of cutouts (once I started know a little something) was that unless it was a collection of 78s, that a record with longer tracks would get bought before one with shorter cuts. I figured that the shorter the cuts, the more likely the album was to be "commercial", and at the time, that mattered. But then, after I bought all those (and if none got added), I would go for the ones with the shorter cuts. My guideline was that if there was a max of 3 cuts/side, all-in. 4 cuts, how much is this record? And 4+ cuts per side, have I bought everything else yet? Other than that...yeah, anything over $4.98, I either had to know what I was getting, or else know that it was something I wanted to be getting. I didn't know anything except what I had read (and the library...a few books, but a complete collection of Saturday Review, which reviewed a lot of jazz records, actually), so I was very much learning as I went. So I had to develop my taste in real time...haven't really changed that, either, although I now actually do know a few things, but just a few, compared to all there is to know. Once computerized inventory practices eliminated waste (and therefore cutouts), record buying was less fun, because small-stakes gambling is fun.

the future's so bright we gotta put them sunglasses back on, lest we be blinded.

Was The Lighthouse a concert venue?

Didn't he also have a storage locker? Or am I thinking about somebody else?

A lot of people apparently think that $30/LP is a fair going rate. So factor in the extras of the packaging, and it's a fair market price. The consumer is driving this market, not the label. If people stop paying those prices in the open market, either the prices will come down or the product goes away. Me, I can't imagine ANY LP sounding as good in 20 years as it does today, not with normal playings. Of course, if the pops and clicks tell the story of your life to you, you know, you are happy with that. I know I am. But $30...no. It's like a ne car that way, loses value the moment you drive it off the lot, loses pristinity the first time the needle plays it. But tell that to the marketplace, they ain't gona wanna hear all that.

Can they has more of that live footage that got snippited in My Name Is Albert Ayler? That was jolty!

My father's Blue Note would still be doing 78s. I'd hate to see THAT version of this set!

Word! You are writing for Jazz Times now? Regularly? I gave up on them years ago...if you're in there regularly, I'll take a stop at the magazine racks!

3/$0.99 was common, as was 10/$10.

I had a similar rule, for anything over $4.99. You have no idea how loaded - and how cheaply price - the cutout bins were in 1971....

yep

Steve Coleman, even if he is a creep. No contest. In terms of music records only and objective enjoyment of same - Bill Cosby or Steve Allen?

Yeah, on the Milestone two-fer, that's great stuff. Plus you get to hear Allen Eager! To hear Fats stretching out (relatively speaking), there's the Birland airshow of him, Bird, Bud, and Art Blakey. Desert island music for me.

Dizzy & Miles were the first two. Fats was the third, but his immediate impact got dulled due to a variety of factors, including his early demise. You could maybe put KD in there as well, but you can trace his blend to Dizzy & Miles combined. Fats was pretty much his own voice. But once Clifford broke out, his (Fats') actually became the dominant style, that eighth-note chord running (oversimplified, I know) approach of his. As for 78s...I won't try to persuade anybody anything about subjective tastes, but there is so much magnificent music created on 78s...maybe listen to them on LP instead of CD!

yep To some people, saying this sounds like it's accusing Clifford of just copying Fats, and that's just too simple. But - there were three schools of "bop" trumpet in real time. Dizzy & Miles, but then, Fats. Clifford certainly did more than just copy Fats, but he definitely picked up on him. One guy I knew, a trumpet player, he didn't give Fats a lot of though, just because he had no taste for 78s and the "choppy" nature of "bebop" heads. But we had a road trip and I put in some Fats and just let it play a few times. By the second time through, he had come around, and by the third time, he asked me for the tape, which I gave him. Tapes are cheap, enlightenment is priceless! So, just sayin'...don't sleep on Fat Girl.

If you do Clifford, then don't stop until you do Fats Navarro as well. It's a different listen, all 78s and airshots, but the playing of the trumpet...just do it.

I still use Foobar for file conversions, but don't do Apple, so it might not be of use to you? This says yes, but I don't personally can vouch for that. https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=89511.0
