It's also on eMusic: eMusic

Just received a notice from Amazon that this shipped.

I never saw that photo before, either: from the Blonde on Blonde photo shoot.

I liked this: Top Ten Overlooked Bob Dylan Songs

I've always liked Prairie Dog.

By this point, this album probably needs its own forum.

The Night of the Cookers...

I saw a lot of interesting things, such as Mobley's Thinking Of Home and Third Season.

They've also added a lot of the Vanguard catalog, also Caroline (Beefheart, etc). Good drop.

Ok, I am now intrigued by this whole thing. As far as I can tell, the remastered Fantasy CD still has only 6 tracks. I can't tell from the description whether it still has the Mingus overdubs or not. The Jazz Factory claims to have removed overdubs and has 14 tracks. It came out around 2004. There is something called Jazz at Massey Hall from 101 Distribution with 15 tracks, which came out in 2007 (so maybe they ripped off Jazz Factory?). It also claims to have removed the overdubs. So I guess I am baffled as to where these PD labels could have come up with a way to get at the original tapes. What is the official release? And why can't I seem to find any "legit" release with more than 6 tracks? The original release of the non-overdubbed tracks was on this box:

Amazon cancelled my Casals box order, saying it's no longer available. Odd response, since (as they acknowledge), it's available from 4 different Amazon resellers. For much more money, of course.

Gary Giddins wrote a nice appreciation of Brubeck in his book Weather Bird. You can read most of it here: Giddins

Interesting. I have the complete RCA material on a box from BMG-RCA (before the Sony merger). I've never been impressed with the sound on the RCA box.

Really? My box says "complete." Unless it's outside the parameters 1962-1973...

My box just might be bigger - the CDs come in jewel cases. And, you know, they're harder too!

I've had this box for years. It's Horowitz's complete Masterworks recordings, but not in their original jackets. It's a well-done box, with easily-readable liner notes, and it's currently only $89.99: Amazon

Who else was in the band?

What's the issue date for the Storyville box?

Interesting. And the Russian Legends live box that I got for $53.99 is now $179.99 at the cheapest. Anyway, I ordered the Vivaldi at the low price, so we'll see if it ships. My Casals box is still on backorder.

This one looks interesting: 40 CDs for $27.08. I like Vivaldi, so I may pick it up.

Higher than expected or lower than expected?

The Denver 73 Road Trips + bonus disc arrived today.

Excellent reminiscence! Thanks.
