Well I continue to be confused. The listing that I bought this from said that it was released in 2012. I bought it in 2013 from someone who said he had just picked it up and compared it to the original Japanese set, sounded the same and so put it up for sale. I got a great deal. Everywhere I look though shows it was issued in 1995. Maybe other copies were found and re-released in 2012. We could not have conversed about this particular set as I didn't own it til 2013--we my have conversed about the original Japanese set which I ALMOST got--I had it pre-ordered through Tower Records Austin, but Tower decided to stiff the Austin store and never sent them any of their promised copies. So I was SOL til the US release, and was really excited to get the gold cd Japanese set, which really sounds good.

Well I would not myself say that this set has been completely invisible for thirty years. Japan reissued their version of it on gold cd after the US set went out of print, and another company released more than half of it as an LP set; individual and 2 cd versions have been reissued separately and as part of the "Complete Columbia Album" box set. Much of the music has been bouncing around. I too would not recommend this to a jazz novice. . . but I also don't think it's that inaccessible to someone who is on a jazz journey.

“Barry Harris plays Barry Harris” Xanadu LP Great piano sound.

I'm listening to a disc from the SACD set now. It's true that the soloists are mic'd more directly and "louder," but the bass and drums don't seem "deeply buried in the mix" to me. . . it sounds like many a real club performance I've heard where the horns are mic'd more than the rest of the band. Certainly studio recordings of this Quintet have bass and drums more prominent.

Love this one. A warm and drizzly morning! Going to be a rainy day. I’ll dream away when I can. Starting off with a re-listen to this disc from yesterday as it sounds SO good and the system is warming up with it nicely. “The End and Everything After” Jangeun Bae Trio 170×152 16.8 KB On to MIles Davis "Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel" Tower Records/Sony SACD set disc 5

Who's picking a fight with you? I am just not convinced your "memory" of this is at all accurate. You are a champion of accuracy, so am I. I may be wrong that there was not a complete run defective disc, but I see no evidence that there was. That cdjapan description is for the SACD set that Tower Records released and repressed. One can ASSUME that Sony themselves reused the same Redbook master that was used for that set for the new cd set, and that they also used the same Mosaic Records tapes for the LP set, but. . . that's not necessarily the case, and record labels don't always do logical things. I think further information may be needed to have concrete results.

The set came out in 1995. I have a really good memory and I don't believe this idea of a defective disc was discussed on the Blue Note Board or anywhere else I was present at the time.

I NEVER have heard or read that mentioned, nor did a search some up with anything.

I never heard of nor experienced a bad disc in the set.

Dexter Gordon “Complete Trio/Quartet Studio Recordings” Steeplechase box set, disc 4 500×500 24.6 KB Includes some beautiful sounding soprano sax playing by the Long Tall one.

Another warm, lovely morning. Starting off with Sun Ra and his Arkestra “Supersonic Jazz” (Expanded Edition) disc 2. Some of my favorite Ra, unreleased material.

I first got my hands on this music in 1982: this 2 LP US set: https://www.discogs.com/master/62386-Miles-Davis-Live-At-The-Plugged-Nickel I still have my copy and it still sounds great.

Yes, one of the original LP releases' cover.

Grateful Dead “Wake of the Flood Angel Share” first half. Followed by Oscar Peterson “Exclusively for my Friends” disc 1 of 4 Verve 4 cd set.

Oh, what a beautiful morning. Memphis the American Bully was mystified by a group of turkeys just over the road at the edge of the forest. He had never heard such things before! I’m starting off with Charlie Haden and the Liberation Music Orchestra live at the Montreal Jazz Festival. A great listen in every way!

I have the repress of the Japanese set on gold disc. IMO it sounds better than the US cd set, and the Tower Records SACD set sounds a bit better than the Japanese. The edits really don't bother me.

My guess is the cds will be the same Redbook mastering as the Redbook layer of the Tower Records SACD set. That would be sourced from the Mosaic LP masters. If the tapes were found between now and the SACD release they would be announcing that as a perceived selling incentive. That is likely a bit of an improvement over the original Redbook set (I haven't compared them myself). I'd be tempted by the vinyl set. . . we'll see if I give in. My original 2 LP US release sounds really good; I've always wondered what the Mosaic set might sound like.

It is so quiet and still here this morning, no distraction from great sound. Started with Grateful Dead “From the Mars Hotel Angel Share” second half 640×640 810 KB Followed by Jason Palmer “Rhyme and Reason” disc 2 Mark Turner–a great partner for Jason. 300×273 23.5 KB
