Sounds like I will be holding on to my Select after all.

I find it annoying that people buy stuff that's hard to get just to re-sell it when I really want to hear the music that they're just gonna keep stacked away for future re-sale.

Another idiotic box set that offers too little for the real fan and collector and way too much (at too high a price) for someone looking for an introduction to a band's music. All those suits who come up with these things should be tarred, feathered and fired.

It's a great album, about time I played it again. After finally getting my hands on Total Eclipse today the only Hutcherson BN disc that I still need is Live At Montreux - and despite looking for it all over amazon and eBay for weeks I still haven't found a copy for a decent price. The best offer right now is a ridiculous $75 from an amazon marketplace seller...

I have pre-ordered this disc from the German amazon store. Any news on CD reissues of the other Impact album and the Paper Man session?

My old edition of "Houseparty" arrived today. Woohoo! Btw, shouldn't it really be spelled "House Party"?

What's wrong with the old Chicken Shack/Midnight Special discs? Yeah, I don't get that either. I can't find that Mosaic box anywhere for a halfway decent price and they start reissuing the material with the least interesting of the discs - annoying!

That album is easily available and sounds good to my ears, why issue it again?

Just listening to the Stanley Turrentine set. I re-equalized the first disc, removing some of the harsh treble. To my ears it sounds just about fine now. And the music itself is GREAT!

That's some good stuff there.

Yes, I would prefer that solution. Put the one Jackie Mac track on 4, 5 and 6 and replace it with the omitted Mobley track "Alternating Current" on a re-assembled "Messages" two-fer. Mwahaha!

It is. I do feel that we have actually reached some sort of consensus on a certain number of titles which is great. I wonder how much that'll influence Michael Cuscuna in his choices for the next Conn batch.

I can make most of those myself from the original CDs, no need to spend more money on the same old music.

I just sent you an email regarding the Joe Henderson Milestone box.

You're right, my mistake. These two are the same but the one on the Blakey album is a different tune.

Well, he'd better change his mind, or else... or else I'll end up buying Natural Essence without those bonus tracks! That'll teach him!

After some research I feel the need to support this request! Come on, Cuscuna!

He had already recorded it at his first Blue Note session in 1952 and recorded it again in 1959 ( for the "The Time Is Right" album) and once more in 1984 for a live album on Timeless Records.

It's a good thing I got that Elvin Jones set for a good price two months ago. It's great stuff, nobody interested in his music should miss this IMO.

Probably not. But personally I'm glad that these matters don't concern me in the least.

Back to the Donaldson Argo/Cadet box set... As I said I have suggested doing something like this to Mosaic. They now told me they won't do it for the simple reason that Verve themselves have plans for something like that next year.

My used copy of The Sermon (the 1987 version) arrived today. Those extra tracks are wonderful! The old House Party CD should be here within the next few days, too.

I could be wrong but I think none of Duke Pearson's early BN albums have been released on CD outside of Japan, right? How about a combo including Profile and Tender Feelin's? Those should fit one one CD.

Sorry, you're Late!
