chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 does mosaic pride itself on not including original liner notes and cover photos, etc on their releases. this perturbs me greatly. why do u they have 2 be like that Quote
jazzbo Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Why not call or email them and ask them? What makes you think anyone here can really speak for them? I think one reason is they were given a trunkload of Francis Wolff photos and they use these whenever they can. It gives them a unique look that allows them to use images not available anywhere else, AND they don't have to pay for the use of images that belong to others. Quote
couw Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 AND they get to flip and mirror them as they please. Make sure the guy on the cover is facing right, that's the forward motion, it looks more flashy. Facing left looks old and tired. Quote

Facing left looks old and tired. unless of course you're Monk in a wagon and then you get to go every which way. Quote
mikeweil Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Sometimes they used the original liner notes. But to put the music into historical perspective new liner notes are the better choice, methinks. They could reproduce the original covers as well, though. Quote
Jim R Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Is it just me, or is this like the oldest jazz bbs question known to mankind? No biggie, just curious... Quote

B. Clugston Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Also by not using original covers, Mosaic saves money on colour printing costs. Quote
Jim R Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 "if I like Kenny G, what should I buy next?" Hmm... a clue? Quote
Hot Ptah Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 Mosaic does include the image of some of the original covers, in color, in some of its Select sets. Quote
Matthew Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 Is it just me, or is this like the oldest jazz bbs question known to mankind? No biggie, just curious... No, you forgot the question: McMaster or RVG, which is better? Quote
BFrank Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Also, technically, they're not releasing collections of albums but collections of tunes or sessions. Quote
