This really is a great two cd set; I'm going to have to spin my Europe 1 version again soon. There were apparently a few or more broadcasts from this band that should be out there somewhere, though I've never seen or heard one. . . more's the pity.

He wore some mf pants too on the bus! (Or so Monk tghought!)

Yeah, that's probably smart. But even so, I would have placed that order on Sunday, the end of the week!

I'm waiting too. And to think, I had placed an order with Dusty on Sunday for Vogue cds, had I known I would have included Brown Sugar too.

Okay. . . well. . . they screwed up. Plain and simple. They've done that before. Some of us waited a long time for DETS Volume 10!

I think it's a matter of cduniverse not anticipating demand from organissimoites.

Yes, Mike, that album gets panned here but I really like it too, and something we won't see again. Long live Water!

I hear you Clinton. Luckily I have two more shipments in the mail, a big box of Chopin recordings, and the "Last Waltz" box set.

I actually have to admit that I am one of those weird guys that likes the most recent two compared to the earlier three. I never got excited about those, but I was a movie snob then; if it was popular I convinced myself I didn't like them. Really haven't revisited them either. I like the sort of "kindler, gentler, less epic" feel of the last two, bad acting and scripting aside (the first three had bad scripting really, just better acting probably). And the look of the movies is much nicer. Looking forward to this new one to just be over with the damned series! What little marketing side line stuff I've seen has churned my stomach too; I avoid seeing this stuff as much as possible.

Fascinating Elis, thanks for posting!

I'll bet the only extra material on the Shaw will be the material that was on the other studio lp. . . . I feel THAT in my bones from Columbia!

And on top of tha! I've had both the VJC two cd set and the newish Storyville two cd set. . . which sounds best yet.

Yes really, about time. I love the Jamal stuff and am glad it is out outside of Mosaic and Japanese cds, and I think many here will enjoy the Blakey and the Silver. . . I've never heard the Brookmeyer or Getz or Gordon.

Marvin Gaye, the Detroit mix of What's Goin' On, was in the mix this morning. As well as a lot of Stan Getz. And Miles at the Keystone Korner 1975.

I haven't ordered it, at least yet. But I'm happy to know it's out there. (I can handle lofi, I really can).

Me either! From da bastards! Nelson Williams -- Five Horn Groove & Nelson Williams All Stars Gigi Gryce/Art Farmer -- Bebop In Paris Vol 2 Henri Renaud -- Henri Renaud & Al Cohn Quartet Henri Renaud -- Henri Renaud All Stars(Nous Rapporte Des USA Vols 1 & 2)

Wow, never knew about that cd Brownie! Thanks. Due to this thread. . . I went and ordered four more Vogues from dah bastards!

Right on Dr. J, I'm right where you are. jazzhound, granted some fifties and sixties and seventies tube products are going to have flabby bass and a really creamy sound that may not be accurate. But modern tube designs don't sound that way at all unless they are designed to. Dr. J's system will have the accuracy of the solid state world PLUS that magic dimensionality that a great tube system has. My Decware amps (single-ended EL34 tube amps) have the tightest bass I've ever heard and overall the cleanest less glary treble, but also have that magic that tubes bring. I'm personally no fan of distortion--I've done lots of amateur recording with entry level solid state gear and had to struggle to get clear and clean sound so I know what distortion is about at the recording end at least. And I don't hear distortion in my system (tube output modified Sony SACD player into single ended tube amplifiers into "Radial" speakers, soon to also include a very simple tube preamp).

That online version has worked fine for me in helping me collect the Chicago and NYC recordings and I haven't found it to steer me wrong. I'm not that anal and this is anal enough for ME.

I'm a Ventura fan. I just felt the former recommendation thread had said enough!

A great resource I've been enjoying for seven years or so I think! The discography is very well done and was very helpful to me in regards the Chicago and NYC periods especially.

I really enjoy this Water Records reissue as well. Usual excellent production from Water, and this music is so fun; brings me back to my college days at UofC where many of the local Chicago bands that you might see at a bar or a party were playing a similar blend of musical influences, though none quite as tight and energizing as Baby Huey and the Baby Sitters!

Okay, my apologies, I pulled that off a webpage, the wrong name for Wayne's wife. I feel sad for him every time I think about his loss. I know how devestated I would be for a long time.

I like all the bands for their different aspects (and I'm a fan of tasty or slightly wild electric guitar so I like Lucas and Cosey for those respective reasons). I'm amazed at what stuff has turned up in the last few years of these bands; I once thought I had cornered everything that I knew about which was true for a while but now I have things to hunt for again and that's a good thing!
