Good to know ... THANKS! Update: a quick search didn't find any selling for less than $50!

I pre-ordered the Cream set. Not usually a 'completist' as far as reissues go, but I'll make a few exceptions (e.g. the new Jimi box), but I'm really curious to hear how well it's remastered. If there are some gems in there, it'll be worth it. I have the previous "compete" 4-CD Cream box (Those Were The Days) and the live stuff sounds pretty much like the original versions, IIRC.

Hope you had a great one ... BELATEDLY!

Yes it is! Someone (unfortunately I don't remember who) was nice enough to send me a needle-drop copy of it along with its companion, "Music From the Source".

A friend of mine knows her. He goes over to her house occasionally and they watch movies or listen to records.

It wasn't my first, but it was an early one. Interesting that there seems to be a resurgence of interest in Andrew lately. Especially regarding all the new vinyl BN reissues. I never got that Braxton box. Sorry I missed out. Will hopefully be able to see him at the Big Ears Festival in March, though.

Yes! Every song has 'single' written all over it! Their 2nd album "Pure" was really good, too.

I saw the show. It was interesting! Fraenkel has it on sale right now - cheaper than Amazon (which is unusual).

This is an interesting book based on an exhibition at the Fraenkel Gallery in SF. So the emphasis is on "Art" more than music, but worth checking out. ART & VINYL

Thanks!

Andrew Hill (big box): disks 5-7

Next year ... for SURE!!

I guess there was a Miles in Tokyo, which was apparently the first vinyl release in the US. I don't imagine that any Miles fan here needs it, though.

I use Amazon and Tidal. Both work well for me. I think Amazon has a bigger selection overall, but Tidal specializes in HD audio. I think Amazon is launching an HD version, but I have no idea how they compare.

I wonder who owns the tapes. Is it ATCO, Polydor, Clapton or someone else?

What??? I didn't WIN? I was SURE I had the right number!

Thanks, Dan! (I know the site has been down for a day or two)

WOW! "This is the first authorised release of these four historic complete 1968 concerts. Each concert features previously unreleased tracks and the Royal Albert Hall show hasn’t featured on CD until now. This historic collection was produced by Bill Levenson. The Oakland Coliseum, Los Angeles Forum and San Diego Sports Arena concerts were mastered from the original 1968 analog mix reels by Kevin Reeves at Universal Mastering, Nashville, TN. The Royal Albert Hall concert was mastered from the original 1968 analog transfer reels by Jason NeSmith at Chase Park Transduction, Athens, GA. The set features 36 tracks of which 29 are issued for the first time."

The audio of the Hendrix box is the best I've heard yet. Excellent! If you're only familiar with the original Band of Gypsys or the 1999 release of Live at the Fillmore East, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how great this sounds.

1/1/70, second set
