The coolest time of the day. . . the best time to listen. Ivan Lins & SWR Big Band “Cornucopía”

From Chicago to hear media mail from Dusty Groove is generally very very good. But when it's bad. . . it is oh so bad (USPS at fault, sits in Chicago for up to a week sometimes).

I didn't get that one because Budokan is among my least favorite Dylans, but that was a labor of love from Sony Japan, due to the popularity of that Japanese visit over the years.

I may not be correct, but I do not believe so.

As far as I have been able to determine No. You could inquire with Mosaic yourself; so far no one has supplied any of that information.

Tamba 4 “We and the Sea” A&M Universal Japan SHM-CD

The stereo versions of "Mood Indigo" and "Willow Weep for Me" are different from their mono counterparts. "The Sky Fell Down" was originally only on the mono, not the stereo, LP.

We don't yet have solid information about the scope of these sets. I would assume they would center on more mainstream jazz and swing artists in the "Jazz Showcase" series. . . but Vanguard recorded into the 'eighties and beyond including groups from 'sixties and 'seventies such as the Dave Burns, the Armstrong releases and the Coryell groups and into the 'eighties with Oregon, etc. Anyway a look at the label's output via discogs.com for example will show possible material. Most likely it will only be selections from the Jazz Showcase series. Here is the discogs listing of "Jazz Showcase" releases: https://www.discogs.com/label/191588-Vanguard-Jazz-Showcase?page=1

TM: a site that has a lot of info about V-Disks. https://www.savethevinyl.org/v-disc-the-story-of-the-american-military-record-label-during-wwii.html#:~:text=V-Disc ("V" for Victory) was a morale-boosting initiative,the use of United States military personnel overseas. The Vanguard Records material would be 'fifties and possibly 'sixties material. Vanguard Records was started in 1950 and began its jazz recording in 1953.
