My last order was a copy of "Gitte Haening and the Clarke Boland Big Band" to replace some worn vinyl, and the fourth volume of Solal Vogue recordings.
Should have it soon. Can't wait!
Hmmm. . . . I'm not sure that the one on Collectables WAS in the Japanese Pres box, but it may have been. (I got the Collectabes before the Pres box anyway, so it was new to me). Sure sounds better!
I have many favorites in both camps. I wouldn't say that I enjoy one more than the other. . . . They are different experiences, often with different intent from the performers. . . .
I only have one of these Charlie Parker Pres discs, the one that is out on Collectables, and it was "new to me" indeed. I am not sure what is on any other.
Yes, I know the Bird and Pres stuff have been out before, but I'll still pick up the Pres for sonic upgrade reasons. . . and to be able to buy "new" Pres. . . it will be a psychological lift for ME.
That's just me!
Hey, if it were me I would really try to have this come out on the Monk family's estate (the Coltrane tape). Think what juice that would give to their product line (which in my opinion is a very good product line now!)
