And the Lou Donaldson 'Say It Loud' (another good one).

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I have "Brown sugar" by Freddie Roach

"The phantom" by Duke Pearson (though you no doubt have several copies of that Chewy)

(as well as the Lou)

BTW, Water has also issued a 2 CD set of Young-Holt Unlimited's Atlantic/Cotillion albums "Born again" and "Mellow dreamin'"

I have 'The Phantom' and the 'Say It Loud' and 'Eddie Gales Ghetto Music' on Water CD. All of them excellent - up to Mosaic-type production standard in fact. 'Black Rhythm Happening' I have on 'Four Men With Beards' vinyl (also good) and the 'Brown Sugar' on Blue Note original vinyl.

HAS BLUE NOTE EVER RELEASED AN OFFICAL STATEMENT REGARDING THEM LICENCING OFF THEIR RECORDS TO OTHER COMPANIES? EVEN THE GUYS AT THE RECORD STORES HERE DONT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE GETTIN ALL THESE 9.99 SEALED NEW LP REISSUE COPIES OF DIPPIN FROM. THEY JUST ORDER THEM FROM RECORD WEBSITES.

I had a feeling there was a Reuben Wilson in there, but I haven't got it. I ought to find out. Pity Water don't have a website.

They do, but you have to go via Runt distribution ( I am at work so I dont have the exact adress) together with several other interesting labels,like the 4 men with beards label.

[andybleaden]

yes I have the two Eddie Gales and the McDuff/Donaldson and the Reuben Wilson. Excellent all round in my humble opinion.

[jazzbo]

I've got those and about four other Water reissues. Man they do a good job. I wish the regular Blue Note reissues sounded and looked so good.
