Brad Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 I received this email too and for those who don't have them all the Sonny Stitt dates are highly recommended, especially For Musicians Only. That's a must. Quote
tjobbe Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Posted September 11, 2005 (edited) Hi Brad, yes this one is a must if you do not have those. What I'm wondering about what mastering has been used here as some of them arer similar like within that BlueNote Series available in different versions... I just got myself some of those who are out of OOP (like the Clarke/Boland). I've seen that there is one Bill Evans (Symbiosis) that I've never hear before...maybe thats another one to pick later. Cheers, Tjobbe Edited September 11, 2005 by tjobbe Quote
Bluerein Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 I think the Peterson/DeFranco item is from the Verve Elite edition because the same tracks are on it and it wasn't issued on CD before that issue so....... Quote
Claude Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Bill Evans' "Symbiosis" is also a rare one. Quote
jazzbo Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Are these, like the Blue Notes before them, i.e. not really legal for sale in the US? Quote
Fer Urbina Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) These CDs came out in Spain c. 1998/9, possibly later. As the Blue Note series, they were published accompanying weekly installments of some kind of jazz encyclopedia or book (I can't remember now), for sale in regular newsagents. As the Blue Note series, the transfers are identical to the corresponding official releases by PolyGram or (later) Universal. As for the covers, they have kept the original colours, with a white frame, as in I don't know whether the book or the CDs state that they have to be purchased together, although it is very likely. F PS The Spanish Blue Notes have turned up in London in discount bookshops and the like... record distribution has mysterious ways... Edited September 17, 2005 by Fer Urbina Quote

Mine arrived already, but as I'm on the road right note they have to wait for another week and I can tell this is hard for me. Cheers, Tjobbe Edited September 17, 2005 by tjobbe Quote
Kalo Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 PS The Spanish Blue Notes have turned up in London in discount bookshops and the like... record distribution has mysterious ways... ← I'm seeing the Spanish Blue Notes all over the place here in Boston. Maybe these Verves will start to turn up, too. Quote
Clunky Posted October 10, 2005 Report Posted October 10, 2005 HMV in th UK is selling these for £3.99 or £4.99 each Sound is excellent on those I've heard , the liners are reduced versions of original CD issues. All the important facts are there. Only the Lester Young Trio date lacked detailing of personnle or recording dates. The booklets provided are 4 pages in total ( including front cover ). Cover art is reasonably well reproduced , certainly not as tacky as the Spanish BN series. Quote
Steve Gray Posted October 11, 2005 Report Posted October 11, 2005 I bought 8 of these in HMV. There doesn't seem to be anything dodgy about these at all They look like perfectly respectable issues to me. I wouldn't compare them to the Spanish Blue Notes in any way. Quote
EKE BBB Posted October 11, 2005 Report Posted October 11, 2005 I bought the complete collection when it first came out, years ago. Not all the discs were by artists I was interested in (at least at that moment), but I couldn´t resist picking them all. If anyone needs details on any particular volume, just let me know. Quote
Rosco Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Picked up a stack of these myself (eleven in fact ) and probably going back for at least half a dozen more. Great value at 3.99. FYI, the second volume of Django Reinhardt's Peche a la Mouche has 'Blue for Ike', the superb track that wrong-footed us all on Marty Jazz's BFT. Quote
Fer Urbina Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) I wouldn't compare them to the Spanish Blue Notes in any way. Hello Steve Apart from the "blue covers" of the Blue Notes, both collections are identical: both the Blue Notes and the Verves came out in Spain as companions to a book sold in weekly (or fortnightly, can't remember) installments. Both are legal issues of CDs previously or currently in EMI and Universal catalogues. The only "legal" question is whether these CDs could (or were meant to) be sold separately from said installments, or even outside Spain. This applies to both collections (as far as I know). BTW, for those concerned about the legality of these records been imported into the US etc, surely everybody knows that both collections were published in Spain by Time-Life (ultimately and American company?) F Edit: Just noticed the thread's title. Blue Moon is selling the CDs, but there is no mention to them on the actual CDs. Edited October 13, 2005 by Fer Urbina Quote
Fer Urbina Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 Actually, the only difference between the Blue Notes and the Verves, is that the former indicate that they should not be sold separate from the installments of the book they were issued with in the first place. The Verve CDs do not say anything at all regarding this matter. F Quote
