jmc Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Does anyone know of the status or the availability of the recordings that Francis Paudras did of Bud Powell? I have been able to find three of them on compact disc and would really want to have a complete collection. Man thanks jmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I haven't seen any copies for sale in a shop or online for a long time. . . . I did purchase nine from an acquaintance and resold them at cost to another here last year. Lucky and unusual break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Same here. Saw a couple of the CDs up for grabs a couple of years ago. And nothing since! The only thing Mythic about these issues is their scarcity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 There are two CDs (plus half of the CD "Bebop") on Fantasy, sampling material from the Paudras recordings. Some of it may also be on Black Lion, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkogre Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Saw a link to this record company in another post and noticed this cd. The samples sound interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 This 'Eternity' material adds previously unissued tunes that were part of the Francis Paudras collection of unreleased Bud. Most of it was recorded at Paudras' home. None of the sides were in the Mythic Sounds albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I emailed Mosaic a couple of years ago asking if they ever considered doing the Paudras' stuff in cd. According to MC, the Powell estate wanted too much money for the rights, thinking that there was a big market for these tapes. A lost chance for Mosaic that I've always regretted.

jmc Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Matthew Thanks for the answer, two weeks ago someone answered my reply. I will be do an exchange with that person.

brownie Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Set nr. 1 from the Mythic Sound box is currently being auctioned on eBay Bud Powell Pure Genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Thanks for posting this link, it's good to at least know more exactly what's on that set, even though we'll never have all of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcy62 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looking at covers, I am pretty sure I stumbled on some of them in my vinyl's shops wandering. Never bought one, I always assumed they were bad recorded collections of stuff available on other labels, some sort of italian bootlegs. And they were really cheap. Next time I'll not miss the shot.

Indestructible! Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Set nr. 1 from the Mythic Sound box is currently being auctioned on eBay Bud Powell Pure Genius Now this would be a really great set to have! I think I have about 5 CDs of the Mythic Sound material, but would love to hear the whole set on vinyl. Too rich for my blood already (over $600 with some 10 hours to go)... but at least I copied the album cover jpegs for future reference. Thanks Brownie!

romualdo Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just thought i'd revive this thread Has anything of significance transpired over the past 5 years regarding the Mythic Sound (plus unreleased) material - was it ever released as a box set (CD or LP) rather than individual CD's or LP's I presume the Paudras recordings are still with the Powell Estate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I have a whole bunch of these - as a matter of fact I tried to sell them here, for very low prices a few years ago, but couldn't find anyone who wanted them, Glad I held onto them.

Gullywater Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I've seen two different box colors of this lp set. Red and Blue. Does anyone know why there were two different ones? Also, I think vol. 1-10 were on individual cd's and only vol. 11 was in the lp set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Right, Vol. 11 ("A Gift to my Friends") was not released (to my knowledge) on cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullywater Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Yes I didn't think so. As far as the color of the boxes, I wonder if maybe Red was the first 500 sets and Blue the last 500. I haven't been able to find out so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
