Teasing the Korean

So do you think they reissue either from CDs or from clean LPs? For example, I have several of their reissues of obscure Columbia material. This is stuff that has not been reissued on CD. I can *usually* tell if an LP was mastered from another LP. These sound like they're taken from a very clean source. If it's a digital source, it sounds like it's from the masters.

Are you sure about this? Scorpio has released lots of stuff that has never been available on CD...

The only people who would buy a new Eagles album would be fat Americans wearing American flag t-shirts who shop at Walmart anyway. It makes perfect sense.

Piero Umiliani - To-day's Sound - Easy Tempo reissue of an Umiliani library LP.

Bola Sete - Goin' to Rio - Columbia (1973)

Thanks. I'll have to check this out...

Greetings - I have the Verve album "Willow Weep for Me" drawn from live summer/fall 1965 Half Note sessions with horn/woodwind overdubs arranged by Claus Ogerman. While I really like Ogerman, I think it was an odd choice to overdub these arrangements over a live session. So, I'm wondering if these sessions have been released on LP or CD WITHOUT the overdubs...

What's the music like? NP: Willow Weep for Me - Wes Montgomery - Verve stereo

I will agree with you that "Breeze from the East" is probably the weakest CT album. BUT: "Several Shades of Jade" is a FLAWLESS album. Truthfully, it's more of a Lalo Schifrin album with Cal in a soloist role, and while it may not be representative of his typical work, it's a terrific album nonetheless. The liner notes to the CD incidentally have nothing bad to say about "Jade," only "Breeze." And I will respectfully disagree with the "bad spy movie music assessment." There are NO BAD Lalo Schifrin albums, Rush Hour soundtracks notwithstanding. GOOD spy movie music album is every bit as good as jazz (They don't call me "Teasing the Korean" for nothing). It's really too bad these two were paired together on CD. There are only a couple of listenable cuts on Breeze, and those few should have simply been added as bonus tracks to "Jade."

500 Miles High - Flora Purim at Montreux, 1974 (Milestone)

I meant only a similar tune selections, go-go drumbeats, instrumentation, and "live in the studio" feel.

Introducing the Afro Blues Quintet Plus One - Mira mono. Sounds like a Chris Montez album without vocals!

He is involved, but it's a group project featuring funky big band with lots of flute. The main participants are JT, Buddy Scott and Frank Thomas (Joe's bro). This one is right up your alley MG, methinks...

Moog Fluting - The Ebony Godfather - GRC BADASS album from 1974...

Singers Unlimited - Invitiation - MPS The Carnival - Imperial stereo

The version I have has the LP sequence followed by the same tracks minus the reverb.

Quincy Jones - $ OST - Reprise That 70s Sound!

Presenting Yma Sumac in a Collection of Early Recordings - Coral mono 10" Hard to find collection of recordings made in Argentina predating her US Capitol albums.

Cal Tjader - Latin Kick (Fantasy mono) Gorgeous version of "Invitation!"

Mambo with Tjader - Fantasy - mono reprocessed for stereo, unfortunately. At least it stays in phase with the mono button.

Bola Sete - Tour de Force - Fantasy stereo

The Further Adventures of El Chico - Chico Hamilton - Impulse! stereo (with the great Gabor Szabo)

I take it they're not on that one.

Thanks. I've got that double LP. It's long overdue for a spin.

"Leonard Feather presents THE SOUND OF FEELING! ...and Oliver Nelson." (sounds like a Crown title; but it's a) Verve MONO promo. One side is by the Sound of Feeling; One side by Oliver Nelson. Whatever happened to those gals?
