AfricaBrass Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 He will look into doing Tyrone Washington's "Natural Essence" with any extra material from the "trainwreck" session. I told him he had to call it "The Trainwreck Session" in his notes or no one would know what session he was talking about. Everybody, please e-mail Michael at the Mosaic address, and let's all tell him how much we want to hear The Trainwreck session. I'd prefer the Quebec 2-fer, as I've already got "Natural Essence." Me too. I REALLY want the Quebec 45 set. Heck, Quebec deserves to be reissued - Look at the role he played in Blue Note's development. This deserves to be reissued on principle alone. But... If they throw in enough pieces of the Trainwreck, I'll definitely re-buy Natural Essence. Otherwise, I'll just keep the TOCJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connoisseur series500 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Either would be good with me. If Natural Essence is trainwreck-less, however, I'd rather have the Quebec. Still, either will be great to have out. My feeling is that we're lucky to see these titles even garnering reissue consideration. They can't sell too well in the larger scope of things, but Cuscuna always pulls through for us in one way or another. Thank goodness we have this series! Amen to that, Late. Thus my name...

Brad Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Of the material that I'd like to see Conned, the Tyrone Washington material isn't at the top of the list for me. As mentioned, I'd like to see the Elmo material come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 As mentioned, I'd like to see the Elmo material come out. Me too, but I'm guessing that Michael's saving those sessions for Rudy's series. (They could just use the Japanese editions, and put both on one disc!)

As mentioned, I'd like to see the Elmo material come out. The Elmo Hope is really good. I already have the Collector's Choice reissue so I don't really need a conn of this, but if the sound is really good, you never know... I'd really like to see some more reissues of the early Blue Note recordings (and the Ike Quebec ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connoisseur series500 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Oh yes, of course. Thanks also Kevin for your help. In my opinion you've done a lot for us here at Organissimo and at BNBB by passing on our requests. The one example that really stands out for me was the inclusion of tracks from the Japanese "Procrastinator" onto the Conn "Sonic Boom." That was awesome! The only thing you failed on was getting "Passing Ships" its proper title of "Yesterday is Now!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well, if you take the GW (George Washington) and get off on the Major Deegan and follow that to the Triboro Bridge, then get off at 278, that should take you there. Any questions? I use the Holland Tunnel -> West Side Highway S -> FDR N -> Williamsburg Bridge. Depending on the time of day and year, I've also used 278 from SI, but it's expensive coming back that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 (edited) By the way, my prices are very reasonable. And there are a lot of people out there that prefer the old versions, right? Editted for spelling once again. Apparently, more "cosmic justice" for bustin' on Cooltrane and his spelling. This justice stuff is a load of crap!

connoisseur series500 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Tell you what, though...it really does appear as if they'll be remastering most of the catalog. No need for us to buy all these expensive Japanese masterings. Still, I won't get rid of my JRVGs for RVGs. They're too much alike (if they aren't the same thing.) I'm just wondering if the RVG of "Feugo" might have any more tracks than the JRVG version. Same for the other new RVGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost hate to mention this but... he did say the Gigolo was going to be RVG'd. I sold my copy and have been getting by with a CDR ever since! Where's my GIGOLO? Oh no, I ain't taking the blame for that! It was Tom Evered at the Blue Note and believe me, I gave him a ration of shit for that statement with no follow up. Since then, I rarely, if ever talk to Tom but still, with every new list of RVGs, I ask Michael why they don't get to "The Gigolo" since Tom said it was on the list. Michael swears that Tom never mentioned it. Blame Tom. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you might not want to miss out on some of the new TOCJ24s. At 1500¥ (around $13), they probably (*) provide the best sound around. * Open for debate and lively discussion, as always.
