J.A.W. Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Verve/Hip-O Select will be releasing a Clifford Brown 4CD-set with the EmArcy Brown/Roach master takes. A set with Clifford Brown's EmArcy dates with singers will be released later. Full details here. I'm perfectly happy with my Complete Clifford Brown 10CD-set that came out in the early 1990s, so I won't be buying the upcoming sets Edited December 19, 2009 by J.A.W.

jazzbo Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 It's odd that Universal is letting Hip-O do these sets of masters. . . . Well, the European labels can do THAT. What they have a harder time doing is alternates, unreleased bits, etc. Anyway, like you I have it all in the complete set, and I also have a handful of the Verve Japan mini lp releases which I like. I'll sit tight. I did spring for the Ella Fitzgerald set from Hip-O though, that's a gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I have 2 double LP sets of that stuff that came out on Mercury about 30 years ago. Still great. Might have to consider this set, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to consider this set, though. I have these doubles, excellent pressings. I somehow missed the 10 cd set. But I do have most of CBs music on a mish mash of albums on various issues as well as a couple of cds. I could do with a nice set but I would want the alternates.

Yes, those came out as Emarcy 2LP sets I think, imported here from the US. I bought one of them from Mole Jazz's deletion rack 'back in the day'. Good sound, I agree.

Brad Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I also have the big box, one of the best things I own. However, the new set is good for those who don't have the large one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I sold the big set a number of years ago- great music. Kinda wish I didn't sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were part of "The EmArcy Jazz Series" - a nice set of releases. There were others - I have: Cannonball Adderley "Beginnings" Maynard Ferguson "Stratospheric" Sarah Vaughan "Recorded Live" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I've got nearly all of this material as well, on the Japanese mini-LPs that came out in the 1990s...one reason why I never tried to pick up the 10-CD box. But good to know that it's being made available in this way again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 good to know that it's being made available in this way again. I've got most of it already too, but I also find it a little comforting to see these sets still being released. Like things aren't quite dead yet.

peterintoronto Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I also have the big box, one of the best things I own. Total agreement here. Clifford's version of 'Ghost Of A Chance' is among the top 5 songs I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I've got a 2CD "Best of the Mercury Years" release from a few years back... I assume there's no duplication between this set and the EmArcy set? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazztrain Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 tranemonk: Sounds like you have just a "best of" set of selections from what was originally on the 10-cd box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 so mercury was a part of EmArcy?? Hmm... If I can get a decent price on this ... maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) It's really the other way around: Emarcy was created by Mercury Records to be their jazz label. Edited December 23, 2009 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) so mercury was a part of EmArcy?? As was said earlier, EmArcy was started by Mercury as their jazz label. "EmArcy" is a phonetic spelling of "MRC", "Mercury Record Company". Edited December 23, 2009 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I was thinking about getting this set, then I thought that this might be a forerunner of remastering the Roland Kirk Complete EmArcy Recordings. A person can only hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Limelight put out a 2 LP set of some of this material too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Website only, eh? Think I'll be sticking with the big box too. DeepDiscount and some of the Amazon Marketplace big dealers carry the Hip-o Select stuff at 20-30% discounts. I do that rather than paying list price from Hip_o Select website. I may well get this set and sell the singles I have. I sold the big box a number of years ago and went with single sessions at a decent $ savings.

felser Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 You'll be able to get it for about $55 from DeepDiscount or Amazon Marketplace if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
