Pete B Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I received the following email today from Stephen Taylor. Those of you that care probably know of him as the author of the comprehensive "Fats Waller on the Air". Mr. Taylor informs me that he does not plan to distribute this cd through retail channels, rather he intends to sell the copies himself through his website and perhaps through eBay. Pete Circular Letter 1 October 2009 New Fats Waller CD issued I'm pleased to announce the release of my own Fats Waller CD called "Fats Waller on the Air: 1938 Broadcasts" [TPR-FW0102]. The CD contains 3 complete broadcasts from 1938 as follows: NBC Broadcast - 12 July 1938. Broadcast to America - 10 September 1938. Yacht Club Broadcast - 18 October 1938. Plus 4 "Bonus Tracks" from vinyl test pressings. CD contains 30 tracks of which 15 tracks are previously unissued !! I remastered the recordings myself and put a lot of time into it, so I hope the result is fine. If I can recoup the costs of the CD then it will give me more encouragement to do another one with more unissued tracks. So what d'ya say? Come on, support the cause. Only US$14 + US$4 registered air-mail post (or £11.50, or Zloties or something). Please go to http://www.fatswaller.org/fatscd.html and make a secure payment online. Or if you need more info, I'd be happy to answer any queries. Better to use a new email address just for the CD at <fatswallercd@gmail.com> Regards, Steve Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKE BBB Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yes, I received Steve's email and ordered it yesterday. Can't wait to have it! Fats Waller on the Air: 1938 Broadcasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 It lives up to expectations. The audio on the London session is a notch below the other dates, but that is due to the condition of the source material. Waller fans should snap up this excellent release!

Shrdlu Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Thanks for the tip about this one. Can't have too much Fats. I'd love to have heard Elvin Jones with him (no, really), plus a better bass player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
