Stefan Wood Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Sold a copy on ebay recently. I had never seen a copy before; it has Booker Ervin on it. Was this ever reissued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Reissued on LP on Atlantic SD 1609, reissued on CD on Koch Jazz KOCH-CD-8517. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 It was issued as African Cookbook on Atlantic. The Atlantic lp was reissued on Koch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Fantastic album, Stefan! Try and locate the Koch CD as long as it's around (and even better but likely difficult to find by now is the Verve release of his Monterey '66 concert, also with Booker Ervin)!

brownie Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 The CD reissue of 'Randy' as 'African Cookbook' on Collectables. I still have the Atlantic vinyl reissue - from 1972 - of this album on Atlantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 The Koch CD has the same cover - I assume it's preferrable over the Collectables (I didn't even know it came out on that label as well!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably made from the same digital master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Chuck, how come that? Is Collectables a rip-off organisation, too? They have an extremely cheapy look anyway, I never liked them, even though they may be reputable... of course they have a lots of good albums available, but then the best of them have been on CD on better-looking labels, no?

Both Koch and Collectables licensed the Weston from Atlantic. I'm pretty sure Atlantic supplied both with the same transfer. Collectables earned a bad reputation (for sound) in the early days but that has changed in the last few years. Their packaging has not improved at the same rate.

I thought that Koch would have done the mastering themselves... My collection still isn't big on Collectables, but there's lots of stuff there that would be nice to have, eventually!

mikeweil Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) I am proud to call a copy of the original my own - got it for almost nothing from some 2nd hand dealer who had no idea that there were only a thousand or so copies pressed.

Ken Dryden Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Collectable also has that bad habit of combining two albums on a CD then leaving off songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Actually, I believe they've corrected that over the last three years by releasing two cd sets at a really low price, good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
