trane_fanatic Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) Just bought this from a fellow O-Board member. The liners list tracks 1-7 as being supported by a sextet featuring Milt Hinton & Osie Johnson while tracks 8-15 have the Mingus group of the time doing the musical backing and each track is an individual poem. Too bad the f____ CD has the entire suite as one f____ track. Does anybody know if Polygram ever corrected this huge oversight? I see that this OOP Verve reissue came out in 1990 and can imagine that it didn't exactly top the Billboard charts at the time, so they probably didn't bother.

Chuck Nessa Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 IIRC, that is the way the original lp was. Quote
marcello Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 Yes, one side has the Minton/Johnson players and side 2 has the Mingus band. Quote
trane_fanatic Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) Yes, one side has the Minton/Johnson players and side 2 has the Mingus band. I see... well, at least they could've split the sides into tracks 1 & 2. Grrrrrr... I know I'm a stickler sometimes for proper order of presentation. Edited May 6, 2008 by trane_fanatic Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 I misunderstood. I thought only "side 1" was one track. If the entire cd is one track, it sucks. Quote
