jazzbo Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 That's COLD! Hey some of that stuff is not THAT bad. . . . -_- Quote
RDK Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Almost as a lark, i included a FF track on my BFT disc and a lot of guys seemed surprised that they really dug it. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Maybe this'll make room for a comparably sized Hi Lo's set? Quote
GA Russell Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Maybe this'll make room for a comparably sized Hi Lo's set? For my money The Hi-Los made good music over a longer period of time, but I have a few of their Columbia albums that I do not think are nearly as good as the Four Freshman Capitol 50s albums. I do not think that a comparably sized Mosaic of Hi-Los would be as good as the Freshman box. Quote
JSngry Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 A Mosaic Select type set of the Hi-Los pre-Columbia material (all of it owned by MCA/Universal/Whoever) would be kickass. Quote

Dave James Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) I think if you approach this set in the right frame of mind - let's face it folks, cutting edge Coltrane this ain't, it can be quite rewarding. I'm also guessing that, in general, the older you are the more likely you are to enjoy it. These guys can really sing and there's more than a little jazz accompanying them on their travels. I just randomly pulled one of the three jewel boxes off my shelf and found the following players listed: Georgie Auld, Bud Shank, Dave Pell, Bob Cooper, Ted Nash, Al Hendrickson, Howard Roberts, Shelly Manne, Jimmy Rowles, Herbie Harper, Red Mitchell, Pete Candoli...the list goes on and on. Not one of the great Mosaics for sure, but serviceable nonetheless. Up over and out. Edited June 2, 2006 by Dave James Quote
LAL Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 No it ain't You can buy it from this store at a premium Quote
Brad Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 Maybe they're finally sophomores. I hope they're doing their postgraduate work by now. Quote
GA Russell Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 A Mosaic Select type set of the Hi-Los pre-Columbia material (all of it owned by MCA/Universal/Whoever) would be kickass. Jim, the new Collectors' Choice catalogue arrived Wednesday, and I see that they are offering The Hi-Lo's - Listen!, "their debut album for Starlite, which appears here on CD for the first time anywhere in the world! Includes June In January, Little White Lies, Fools Rush In, She's Funny That Way and more." I don't have any of those songs. By the way, it's $15.95. Quote

That leaves one more Starlite album and one more Trend single. Quote
LAL Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 TowerRecords.Com is having a sale - use coupon code 86CNRZEZP879 to get a 20% discount. I applied the coupon to the Freshmen box available (should be a numbered edition) and it seems to work. I didn't press the order button though. Quote
