Claude Schlouch Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hi folks, Avoid buying the King Records(Jap)ABCJ-548 CD "Art Pepper Live in Toronto", recently issued in Japan. I don't say reissued because it's not really a reissue but rather an "amuse-gueule". This CD is a swindle because it contains 3 heavily shortened titles: Samba Mom-Mom lasts 8:28 instead of 17:35. Star Eyes lasts 5:04 instead of 12:09. A song for Richard mistitled Bit of Bernie lasts 14:01 instead of 16:43. These 3 titles were previously issued on Norma NOCD-5662 & NOCD-5663. A really good work! It seems that the producer of these very poor works knows very little about Art Pepper's work and collectors. He put already on the market several CDs more or less serious (Art Pepper Paris Live 1980 on MYCJ-30472 with 3 titles from Pasquale's, Malibu, CA, August 1978 (curious), Art Pepper London Live 1980 on MYCJ-30468 with 5 titles from Satin Doll, Kobe, Japan, March 9, 1978 (curious), etc ...), and will certainly continue to do so.

Dan Gould Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 This CD is really 27 minutes long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Schlouch Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 No, it lasts 67:57 (7 titles). I remember that another in this series by the same "producer" last less than 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Schlouch Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 To be complete on the subject, the Norma NOCD-5662 lasts 45:07 (Long ago and far away, Here's that rainy day, Patricia & Blues for Heard), the Norma NOCD-5663 lasts 41:15 (Samba Mom-Mom, All the things you are & Star eyes). 86:52 on Norma against 67:57 on King ABCJ-548.
