Thanks for clarifying. That now makes sense. It definitely is very poorly worded.

Thanks.

Thanks. I am a big Art pepper fan and this looks very promising. However, the following (highlighted by me) has me a bit wary: "Everything Happens To Me: 1959 – Live At The Cellar utilizes a fly-on-the-wall approach that includes all the existing music as the recordings happened. As a result, the 4-CD / Digital set includes some incomplete tracks, but most songs run near to completion." I can understand if some songs may have not been taped and are missing but what does "most songs run near to completion" mean? That is odd wording and seems to imply that most songs are not complete (it says most songs only run "near to completion"). Can that be true? I hope not.

I added the discogs link below so you can see what material is included on the 7 CDs and 1 Blu-ray. Again, my copy lacks the book.

Have you tried looking them up on discogs? That would always be the first place to look to see if there are any for sale on there in order to get an indication of scarcity and value as well as to obtain more information about the particular tapes. I have never searched for reel-to-reel tapes on discogs but would assume that discogs would have RTR tapes on its site, in addition to the usual vinyl and CD offerings. Just a thought.

I agree about the Artisan series and that is why I decided to pass on the 2 Sun R reissues (Jazz By Sun Ra Vol 1 & Vol 2) when they were first put out as part of the SAM records Artisan series. As much as I like Sun Ra, I could not justify paying $150 for each album just because it had a premium sleeve and was limited to 500 copies. I was surprised and very happy when SAM Records decided to later release the 2 Sun Ra records in a regular (non-Artisan series) release with a non-premium sleeve and a price 1/3 of the price of the Artisan series release. The sleeve on the regular release is still very nice and the music sounds the same on the regular release as it does on the Artisan series release (same mastering cut by Kevin Gray).

The space limitations of vinyl records, limiting music to approx. 20-25 minutes per side, also has a lot to do with the lack of bonus tracks on new vinyl reissues. A lot of time there is no room for bonus tracks without adding a second record for the bonus material. An example of a recent Sun Ra reissue that did include bonus tracks is the 2024 Strange Strings Expanded Edition (2 lp). That is a wonderful album as well. I personally like to have the album as originally released on vinyl so the lack of bonus tracks does not bother me. I also buy the Sun Ra CD reissues if it is something I may want for the bonus tracks.

That is correct. No bonus tracks on the 2 Sam Records Sun Ra reissues...just the original albums. Most of the recent vinyl reissue series (Tone Poet, Blue Note Classic, OJC, Acoustic Sounds, Rhino HiFi, etc.) just reissue the original albums on vinyl without any bonus tracks. And Sam Records does the same.

I bought the Live at the Village Gate lp on RSD and finally got a chance to play it in full last night. The music and sound quality are great. A winner all around. It also includes a nice large booklet. One small error to note though...the hype sticker on the clear plastic outer sleeve state that this is a 1967 live show. That is wrong. The Village Gate is a 1963 live show. I knew that prior to buying it but it was funny to see the hype sticker state 1967 rather than 1963 (the other RSD Kirk release, Live at the Penthouse, is the 1967 show). The record cover fortunately lists the correct 1963 date. The wrong date is only on the hype sticker. An excellent Kirk live show, in a nice package, with very nice sound quality.

I recently received copies of Jazz By Sun Ra Vol 1 & Jazz By Sun Ra Vol 2. These are the recent reissues by SAM Records. SAM Records previously reissued these in a very expensive limited edition (500 copies) in a special sleeve. The recent reissue is limited to 1000 copies each but is only 1/3 of the price of the prior more limited edition. This is a fabulous release and belongs in any Sun Ra collection. SAM Records always does quality work and this is no exception. They even included a copy of Sun Ra's original booklet with Vol 1 in which Sun Ra explains his music philosophy and provides comments on the songs. It is a wonderful addition. Vol 2 also has a booklet but, since Volume 2 was never released by Transition, there was no original booklet for that one and the booklet that is included with Volume 2 is a recent addition, although still very nice. These are Sun Ra's first 2 albums (although Vol 2 came out later since the Transition label folded prior to its intended release date). The music is wonderful. Although early Sun Ra has a big band influence on many songs, you can also catch glimpses of the future Sun Ra in most songs, whether it be an emphasis on percussion or slightly altered stylizations (but of course not as "out there" as later Sun Ra). The sound quality is excellent as well. The hype sticker says that they were "remastered from the original master tapes cut by Kevin Gray" and he did an excellent job with the music. It sounds very fresh and clear and dynamic. I am a big Sun Ra fan and have a decent Sun Ra collection on CD and vinyl (unfortunately no original Saturn lps in my collection) and these two reissues are great additions to my, and any, Sun Ra collection. Highly recommended. edit: I just realized that this post probably belongs in the "Re-issues" thread, not the "New Releases" thread. I was going to delete it from here and post it over there. However, I could not find a way to delete it so here it stays for now.

The Mosaic Hank Mobley Fifties Sessions is now also SOLD. Thanks. Happy holidays and New Year to everyone!

I am not sure what this means. As you can see in the above thread, I purchased this from Kevn in December 2021. It is still in my collections and will never leave. It is one of my most treasured box sets.

This is a great deal and jazzbo is a great Seller. Any Dead fan should jump on this. I already have it, otherwise I'd have purchased it myself. I bought it via pre-order from the Grateful Dead website and I believe I paid what jazzbo is selling his copy for. This box set sold out pretty fast and copies are now selling for hundreds more (check discogs and eBay prices) than jazzbo has his copy listed for. I have every Dead box set and official release and debated about getting this when it was first announced. But I am glad I did. The music is excellent and the later-era (80s, 90s) shows are a lot better than I had expected. The packaging is also first rate. I particularly love the book that is included. It is kind of a Dead travelogue book that has the reader crossing the country with the Dead as it explains the shows, tours, locales, and regions. This is great set a great price. Good luck with the sale!

Another Sun Ra electronic keyboard and synthesizer workout. $23 Cosmos Inner City, recent (perhaps 2010 or so) 180gram reissue Still in original shrink wrap but shrink wrap open on side edge to retrieve record. $23 Sun Embassy Roaratorio, 2018 No shrink wrap or plastic outer sleeve on this one $25 Shipping is $6 extra (+ $1 for each additional lp).
