Peter Johnson Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 CJ--I meant for the cases, not the CD's. Thanks! The link won't load for me Peter, but I just try to pull the discs out very carefully with minimal damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Oh!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry about that! I would think mini LP size sleeves that fit gatefolds would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is an album you really like it may be worth getting the Masterworks version because it will be from the master tapes, whereas those Japanese versions are from copy tapes.

jazzbo Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) The Japanese version sounds great, is a beautiful gatefold lp facsimile (hard cardboard) and I don't play this that often. I have the Weston in Japanese form as well, but it's an earlier version in jewel case, I figure this new one will be an upgrade.

felser Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Now they're talking. I'm down for the Farrell and Weston; I have the Airto in Japanese form. With you on the Farrell and Weston. That's my favorite Farrell album by a long stretch. Quite a rhythm section (Chick Corea, Buster Williams, Elvin Jones, Airto).

Teasing the Korean Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Glad to hear that they've given in to my incessant demand for Jackie and Roy's "A Wilder Alias." This album is unbelievable, unlike any other Jackie and Roy album, and a must have for anyone who is into insane 70s grooves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowsOn Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Has Joe Farrell's Quartet been reissued by CTI? No, not yet. I hope it is in the mix! Follow Your Heart is one of my favourite tracks on the entire Cool Revolution compilation. I have bought the Joe Farrell reissues on Wounded Bird, Canned Funk, Penny Arcade and Upon this Rock. Some of the tracks are good, but the sound quality is crappy. They sound like from copy tapes and they have been compressed to hell in the mastering.

If you really like an album it IS worth upgrading to the CTI Masterworks version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm not particularly excited about these specific titles, I'm glad to see that they are reaching beyond "the usual suspects" for the titles they reissue. Would like to see JHS's 'Higher Ground' and Hubbard's 'Keep Your Soul Together' make it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowsOn Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Received Fingers, Outback and Blue Moses today. As with all these Masterworks releases, the sound quality is very good (no idiotic compression, and only a tiny bit of limiting on a few tracks). The music is great too. Elvin Jones is brilliant on Outback! Blue Moses is quite a surprise, it is almost like orchestral jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see JHS's 'Higher Ground' and Hubbard's 'Keep Your Soul Together' make it out. +1 on that. I definitely understand a label wanting to reissue albums that made them money and/or prestige in the first place, but I definitely appreciate when they go further back into the closet when they're looking for titles to select.

ShowsOn Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Joe Farrell Outback is first rate. It really shows how crappy the sound quality is on the Farrell albums Wounded Bird put out. Pretty sad that Wounded Bird got them, cos now CTI Masterworks probably won't bother with them. I hope they at least put the first one, Quartet out.

Teasing the Korean Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Anyone pick up "A Wilder Alias" yet? That is an under-the-radar gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowsOn Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I think the pick out of this bunch is Blue Moses. The only weird thing is the astonishingly compressed sound of the horn section (in the left channel). It sounds like the horn section in The Beatles' song Got To Get You Into My Life! But this is in complete contrast the amazing wide open sound of Hubbard's solos. Hell, maybe that's why RVG recorded it like that to set the soloist off from the other horns? Grover Washington Jr gets some great solos too. More great music. This week I also found an second hand CBS CTI CD of Stanley Turrentine's album Cherry for $5 which is nice, but of course nowhere as essential as Sugar.
