I'm pretty much in agreement with Robert re: the sound. Also worth noting is that the Blue Note RVGs of the last few years do not sound the same as the early JRVGs and US RVGs.

"Ornettethology." DUH!

Not to mention that new Convention Center Chuck wants to develop in his hometown. . . .

I might buy a more expanded version, that is rumored to be available near Xmas.

Me, I love Rouse.

This is the main thread. . . . I know of quite a bit of off board emailing about this stuff, but yeah, it's sort of "numbingly" amazing.

I don't really feel that way. . . I think you can make an ipod sound pretty good, but you can get a lot more tube for 525!

Very pretty covers!

Well, as I have almost all I need of all those listed, I now use yourmusic.com to get new releases cheaply, and for classical and blues and soul titles of which there are many listed that I don't have and might want. . . .

Don't panic yet! Give them a day! (By the way, there is a package on the way to you CONFIRMED from this location). The Miles with Booker is about 20 minutes of Miles sittin' in. . . not essential, and this is the only place I've ever seen it.

Yes, but some good music has been out on them that I've not seen elsewhere (like the Miles with Berryl Booker. . . )

I have never seen a Yadeon cd with a booklet! Only a back case panel!

I've got the 1999 version, I'm happy with it, and I'm holding fast. -_-

Still an amazing and exciting cache!

Those four Devil's Music will have you entranced for quite a while!

I wish I could have stayed home. . . . Have a long day ahead of me (at least I have a great Indian food buffet lunch planned with a friend). I'm so busy that I haven't even really been able to appreciate much music at work this week, I have time I'm going to lose but can't take off, which is annoying me, and I need LEE!

I guess "all over" is a totally different concept in different "areas"--I haven't seen copies of either of those for YEARS.

Man, all this is making me want to leave the office, go home, pour a cool glass of something, and listen to Lee!

Hmmm.. .. .. not sure that the Uptown is covered in the Definitives, I'd have to look, and I'm far away right now. The Condon Mob set is available in cd, it's the earlier Condon (Columbia and Condon led only) Mosaic that is only available on lp right now. But the Wiley sides on the Condon Mob also appear in the Definitives in inferior sound. (They are also available on a Collectors Choice cd that collects the two EPs, though that is not likely to sound as good as the Mosaic, but I have not heard it).

Not sure those discographies would answer your questions completely. Yes, the duo with Larkins. The Uptown has a live concert and some other extras added. It's an Uptown so it's loaded and annotated very well. I don't believe you will need the Red collectors' disc if you have the others. The Audiophiles are for the most part included in the Definitives and the Devil's Music (the Devil's will have more material from the same songbooks). The Wiley is included in the Condon Mob Mosaic, still in print (actually the other is still in print in lp version).

What? In general retail (of any sort) only marks up 250% or more. . .

So, those who have heard it, what might be the problem with Roger's drumming?

I have the FOUR (the fourth has been out for some time, fifth is apparently due soon) Devil's Music (Baldwin Productions) cds and they are CLEARLY the best way to go if you LOVE Lee. (I do!) Total attention to completeness, pitch, sound, they're awesome discs! I have the Definitives as well and they are not from source material and it shows. But no contest, the Devil's Music series will be as claimed the ultimate collectors' Lee Wiley series. I hope and pray it continues. The Audiophile cds are very good too; if I were to only have two Wiley discs on my desert island they would be good choices, sound is very good, great notes and photos, etc. But the Devil's Music version tops them. I have two RCA lps on Japanese cds that were my introduction to Wiley by herself (thanks are due to Dr. J to making me check her out; I'd only known her from Condon groups before that). They are fine releases. I also have the Uptown, the Carnegie Hall, the Back Home in Indiana, a Black Lion (there is some overlap with the Black Lion and another), I think that may be it. . . Oh yeah, I have her Columbia work in the Condon Mob Mosaic and she appears in the Commodore Mosaics too if I'm not mistaken. I'm a fanatic. If you want to be a diligent collector Flurin then I recommend the Devil's Music route. .. .This series is a real labor of love, anal retentive love at that!

Copy control? They couldn't even keep their "work product" in house!

Yup. One title. . . I think it has also appeared under another.
