Claude Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 These seem to be the Laserlight/Delta Music reissues that were released a couple of years ago Here's one example: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/jazz/detail/-/hnum/6101213 Good sound, great price.

jazzbo Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Right, and they were out earlier on Europe1 before they were out on Laserlight/Delta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 A number of Europe1 2 CD releases reappeared as individual titles on the Malaco label a few years ago. I particularly got a kick out of Joe Zawinul's "Rumplestilskin" being misidentified on both labels as "Rufus Still Skinned." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I have the 2 CD set of Jimmy Smith at Salle Pleyel, in 1965, some of which was originally issued on Metro. Great music, but the sound is pretty awful. I'm sure the Metro issue wouldn't have been like that. Any likelihood of a better-sounding issue?

Bluerein Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I think they've used the original French Radio tapes for these issues so I guess the sound is as it is and the Metro just used these too so no better version exists. The Metro Village gate isn't that great sounding imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
