Great score Evan!

I don't know Ted. . . there's quite a few fans out there. . .would probably sell as quickly or more so than the Mildred Bailey for example. . . . ! (I really don't think Mosaic is too worried about quick sales as long as they can over time sell the majority of the leased amount of copies. . . )(that's just my impression, no real knowledge).

I'm with Chuck solidly on this one (save I haven't yet had the pleasure of working with him). I'm one hundred and one percent a Weston fan, I've been tracking down anything he does, and this Select has some of the very best of his first decade of work within it. LOVE it!

YES

The Baby Huey is very interesting to me, a lot of the bands I saw in Chicago in the period of '73 to '76 had the sound one way or another that Baby Huey and the Baby Sitters came up with. It's a blend of the sort of sounds that James Brown and Buddy Miles Express and Howlin' Wolf and many another band (including a bit of Santana) had at the time. . . well, it's black music and it's very powerful and trippy. I'm enjoying it a lot; the jazzy bits, and the dramatic bits that Huey injects. . . he was a great singer, it's a tight band, it's fun music.

It was fun to read too Marty!

Please don't! I'm not into pictures of kids (sorry).

I believe these have absolutely no relation to the original Tung-Sols, they're just new tubes branded with the old label which was purchased, as was Mullard, etc. by an unscrupulous business hack who makes no effort to recreate original design, just labels inferior tubes with a time-honored name or two. New old stock is the way to go. I've had decent experience with POWER tubes from JJ Electronics and SED (formerly Svetlana, but not the NEW Svetlana which is part of this bogus new name on inferior tubes megabusiness) but I've had no real success comparing input tubes of new production to NOS tubes; NOS tubes win hands down every time. Admittedly, I'm not using them in Leslie cabinets, and I don't know how crucial that position in the circuit is on a Leslie amp, but in my audio amps I've given up trying to use new production input/driver tubes.

Yes I have noticed. Interesting. Next thing you know Mosaics of EMI material will! Just been listening to and really really enjoying the Baby Huey Water. WOW!

Me either. If this is Sims' idea/notion/action I don't understand it. I'm glad the company WANTED to reissue it. . . .

I prefer the Orgies to the Skins as well. Hmmmm . . . . Orgies. .. Skins. . . Holiday. . . !

Hmmmm. . . I have these. . . I really don't listen too often. . . sort of boring to me. But then again, I'm not getting rid of them!

Wow, there are so MANY. Here are a few of my favorites: Miles at Fillmore Miles at Blackhawk Ellington at Newport (you name it!) Basie airchecks with Pres Cannonball Adderley at the Jazz Workshop Thelonious Monk at the Jazz Workshop

To clarify Brownie, I guess I should have said "cd sets" because I have heard very few of the LP reissues, and none of those two lp sets. . . . What I was referring to were those that Ron and I posted images of.

Well, they do both have one thing in common: both have been BERRY BERRY GOOD TO ME!

From the Adderley website I read this: "The Masquerade Is Over was a 1938 hit by Herb Magidson and Allie Wrubel." (May be in the liners to the Cannon with strings lp, I haven't read those in some time, though I've spun the music recently; it's killer stuff).

Yes, and mention MUST be made of: and

OUCH. Sorry to hear that. Or not. It will be sweet to hear when you return!

Classics is one good way to go, you'll get overlap though of the material you now have. . . . But you haven't bought the Victor material yet, so it may be the best way to get the Columbia and Victor material (and MORE) sans alternates (which are available from Neatwork). That said, I really like the Columbia sets out. . . sound could be a little better but is not at all bad, and the way the music is grouped is cool and the music is out of this world great. Then there are also those European releases from Definitive et al. . .

CDU. . . got it last night. Yours will arrive today. . . I can feel it coming on!

Man oh man, this is right up there with the Ayler box and the Hill Select as quality reissues of the last months. Wonderful sound on this. And DEPTH to the music. Deceivingly so on some selections. Singing by a number of artful pipes including Leon Thomas, Honi Gordon, Milt Grayson, and Eileen Gilbert. Very interesting different bassists. Jack Parker doing all the right things on the skins and brass discs. Mary Lou's incredible piano, so resonant and RESOLUTE. Even two selections of the lady on ORGAN recorded in Rome. I'm so happy this is out!

I dig it. . .but. . . is it on PINK NOTE?

I've never seen this. . . have a two cd set (would fit on one but that wouldn't mack much money right?) I like the music (not really that much Ornette, but cool stuff).

Yes.

A number of titles have come out on cd over the last two decades, including a number from France. . . .
