Recycling!

Is the track Mr. Jones identical on the Poly-Currents and Mr. Jones albums?

But will the liner notes be in English or German?

I've got that Jonathan Richman too. I haven't thought about it for years, "Roadrunner once...." It was a great performance, the essence of Jonathan in those days.

I know, as soon as I have the time I will update the list - I'm sorry, but I'm very busy with my day job at the moment. That's OK, whenever you can...we appreciate the effort!

BTW, this thread is not listed in the pinned "Album Cover Threads List."

Hey Jude was about 7 minutes. MacArthur Park by Richard Harris was longer (7:23). I have a live version of Roadrunner by Jonathan Richman which was released on a British Beserkley b-side that's about 8 1/2 minutes.

I recently bought the Jim Hall in a reasonably-priced edition from Japan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UCCU-6113 Back in the day, I had the Sun Ra and the Archie Shepp. I think it's the only Shepp album I've liked; very intense, though.

That would be a good Mosaic set: the complete Warwick sessions.

iTunes Radio on the computer doesn't sound too bad. Maybe we should create an Organissimo channel on iTunes Radio to highlight the music we listen to.

Is that "Metronome Presents..." album the same as "Sounds of Inner City" that was around on TCB?

RIP.

I do see your point. It's currently at a crazy price: $70.54 direct from ImportCDs. And when these boxes start to get scarce, they do shoot up in price: the Rubinstein box is now $394.95 on Amazon. I think I bought it not that long ago for $90.

OK, thanks. I saw that Amazon review; was wondering about the sound quality on the 2/3 not subsequently remastered.

How is the sound on the Toscanini box? I notice it uses 1992 masterings, and I wasn't thrilled by the sound quality of the Horowitz box from around the same time.

After 35 - 40 years of listening to this music, I still don't understand the relationship of the "tune" sections of Ayler's music to the free sections within the same composition. It still scares me while hearing it, as if someone's having a schizoid attack right in front of my eyes. I actually think she described the music on that album accurately; good for her that she made the attempt.

Cyrus Chestnut?

In the U.S. It's only $27.98.

Anyone here familiar with this? Release date was September 9:

I liked this aspect of the Savoy box. I owned the 6 LPs released by Spotlite in the late '70's, and was always irritated that they never indicated which were the master takes.

I have the Bird on the Savoy/Atlantic set; and most of the Dexter on Chronogical Classics (admittedly, this set will be in better sound) That leaves the Dizzy, Sonny Berman/Bill Harris/Ralph Burns, Howard McGhee, Erroll Garner, and Earl Coleman/Fats Navarro. Roughly half the set. Hmmm.

Interesting that Jonathan Horwich helped with the transfers.

A quick search brought up these intriguing titles, apparently not available elsewhere:

Now, those Laserlights are different than the "Private Collection" discs released on Atlantic, correct?

Grabbed a used copy of the birthday box from a reseller; also ordered Cool Rock. Thanks guys.
