Time Control is out now in Europe and the US. And I think it's an awesome album!

Yeah, I forgot to mention that my European copy of Out To Lunch has the same problem.

Which reminds me of something more recent - are the liner notes in the US edition of Charles Earland's Black Talk RVG complete? All the copies I've seen on sale in Germany cut the notes off in mid-sentence.

No surprise there as far fewer vinyl sets were made available to start with (if I remember correctly).

It would be nice to see Mosaic pick up the Lou Donaldson Argo/Cadet box that Verve was working on. I doubt they're still planning to go ahead with that project after the recent changes.

It's not a Mosaic set but this is just insane: Tony Williams - Tokyo Live 2CD set for $88!!

I'd buy a Mosaic Single of that without thinking twice!

Those were issued along with the other Congo Lament tracks as "Easy Living" unless I'm confusing some things here.

Speaking of "lost" Ike Quebec sessions, I wonder why the two good tracks from this session didn't make the "Complete 45 sessions" two-fer. Was it just lack of space? I don't have that "Complete" 2CD set yet so I wouldn't know the running times. Ike Quebec (ts) Edwin Swanston (org) Clifton "Skeeter" Best (g) Charles "Sonny" Wellesley (b) Les Jenkins (d) Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, July 20, 1959 tk.8 Uptight Blue Note (J) TOCJ 66083 tk.12 Cry Me A River - Latin Strain (inc.) rejected * Ike Quebec - From Hackensack To Englewood (Blue Note (J) TOCJ 66083)

Finally got Blue John and Blue Mode. Awesome! Also ordered Fred Jackson's Hootin' 'n Tootin' (the US Conn edition with the additional session). It won't be long before I own ALL the stuff mentioned in this thread.

It's interesting that despite that the band didn't change at all between the two recording dates. I wonder if this might become a Connoisseur disc in the future...

I don't see the advantage. If you truly can't stand hearing those two sessions back to back you could just buy two CD-Rs and split them up. I wouldn't want to wait even longer for the other session to be released and pay twice as much.

The CD "Introducing Duke Pearson's Big Band" includes 6 of the 9 tracks from Now Hear This. They omitted Amanda, Dad Digs Mom and I'm Tired of Cryin' Over You, about 10 minutes of material. I don't have the Duke Pearson Mosaic Select (yet), but wouldn't there have been enough space left on those three discs to include those omitted tracks?

That's what I expect at least - I can't imagine them not including the whole New Time Shuffle LP and it seems logical to include both complete sessions on one disc (they'd fit). This would be a good chance to release the June 9th and July 28th material as well, which would make this a double disc release. If they were going to do that, there might be enough space left to include all of The Look of Love and thus have all the remaining Turrentine/Pearson material compiled on one 2CD set. I can dream, eh?

Would this fit on one CD along with Braith's other Prestige album Musart?

Any news on the reissues of Paper Man and the two big band albums?

I'm guessing that they changed the title for a reason, that reason probably being the fact that they will include more of the Pearson-scored Turrentine sessions from that time - who knows, it might even be a two-disc set with all of their collaborations that haven't yet been released on CD. We'll find out soon enough.

Damn! Too bad they didn't try the material again with a different drummer later on. Thanks for the information!

Just stumbled over this discography entry: Jackie McLean Sextet Woody Shaw (tp) Jackie McLean (as) Tyrone Washington (ts) Bobby Hutcherson (vib) Scott Holt (b) Norman Connors (d) Plaza Sound Studios, NYC, July 5, 1968 3054 In Case You Haven't Heard Blue Note rejected 3055 Hymn To Rap - 3056 One For Jeru - 3057 Kupenda - 3058 Abrasion - Why has this session remained unissued until today? The lineup sounds very interesting IMO!

Seeing how the upcoming Stanley Turrentine Connoisseur release is titled Blues for Del it seems probable that this session will be included.

Am I missing some kind of irony here? It's still easily available from Warner - since 1988...

It seems George Benson's Good King Bad will be among the first Mosaic Contemporary releases in early April. That's great as I've been trying to hunt down an affordable copy of the 1989 CD edition for quite some time! Let's hope they also release some of the CTI stuff that's never been on CD!

Allmusic.com and several other websites mention the existence of this: I can't find a single online store that offers it though. Does it really exist? This would be a good two-for-one deal for me since I don't have White Rabbit yet and Good King Bad is somewhat hard to find cheap these days.

Time to dig up an ancient thread once again since I'm buying tons of organ albums these days... After reading this I ordered a copy of this OOP disc for ten Euros (lucky me!). I really like Reuben Wilson's Love Bug - is this really that much better? I would've ordered this one as well if it wasn't so hard to find for a decent price. Gotta keep looking... Both of those are on the way to me right now! I want that Baby Face Willette Select that the Mosaic guys hinted at sooo bad... The only album he plays on that I own is Lou Donaldson's Here 'Tis which I love.

I had both for a while and solid the "Complete" set - the Birdland RVG discs sound MUCH better.
