brownie Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 OK! then it's The question now is ... why didn't the folks at BN/PJ think of reissuing those themselves Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 OK! then it's The question now is ... why didn't the folks at BN/PJ think of reissuing those themselves ← If I remember correctly, there's a post or two about that somewhere; these albums probably wouldn't sell enough copies, so... To be honest, I'm glad someone other than Ron McMaster has remastered them. I've got nothing against mr McMaster, but I can't say I like his masterings - particularly some of the more recent ones.

alankin Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) The Eddie Condon and Edmund Hall are now pre-listed on CD Universe as well. Edited October 16, 2005 by alankin Quote
brownie Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 ... so is the Edmund Hall! That one was hard to get on vinyl! I'ell keep my ears open to find out how good the mastering on these releases turn out to be! Quote
Daniel A Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) "Take Aim" is perhaps not anybody's finest moment, and I remember the sound of the BN LP release as boxy. Perhaps the remastering has improved it somewhat. Edited October 17, 2005 by Daniel A Quote

That Leonard Feather produced Land LP is somewhat odd in the Blue Note catalog, musically - Land plays okay, but the rest of the band is so-so. Quote
Tom in RI Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 I have the Land disc on vinyl, a much better effort by a very similar band is Harold Land in New York originally on Jazzland and now an OJC. Quote

The full title is Eastward Ho! Harold Land in New York, and the number is OJCCD-493 Quote
Brad Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 I've ordered Critics Choice and the Land although I can't find out much info about the Adams but hey it's Pepper so that's all I need to know. Quote
brownie Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 The Pepper Adams is a superb session. With quite a lineup: the seldom heard Lee Katzman on trumpet and a Big League rhythm section of Jimmy Rowles, Doug Watkins and Mel Lewis. If the sound is only half as good as the one on the Toshiba Japan vinyl reissue I have, you'll be a happy man! Quote
