srellek Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Anyone want to part with this for a reasonable price? Many thanks.... Quote
medjuck Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I didn't know this existed. Was it released in France? Quote
J.A.W. Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) I didn't know this existed. I was wondering about that too. A few more details would be helpful, such as CD label and number, release date, things like that. Edit: Found some info. CBS France issued a set back in the 1980s, The Complete Duke Ellington (1947-1952), first on 6 LPs and later on CD. Here's the AMG review of the LP-set and here their review of the CD-set.

mikeweil Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) I have the LP version. Note that it is not the Duke's complete Columbia recordings of that period - the tracks released on three 12" Columbia Lps were not included as CBS France had already reissued them as single albums. The music is good, though ... I see Mosaic do this batch properly in the coming years. Two of the three Lps not in that set were available as single CD reissues from Columbia: Edited August 8, 2008 by mikeweil Quote
jazzbo Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I have these cds since just a bit after they were released. They're not for sale. I love this music. Worth seeking out. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 I believe the 10" Liberian Suite was issued as a single cd. I had it at one time. Quote
jazzbo Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) The fifth volume of the cd series contained Masterpieces by Ellington and the Liberian Suite. Uptown material is not included in the series. Edited August 9, 2008 by jazzbo Quote
mikeweil Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) I believe the 10" Liberian Suite was issued as a single cd. I had it at one time. Yes - I too no longer have that one since that suite was added to some other reissue as a bonus. But I just had a look at the LP box, and the Liberian Suite was included!
