AndrewHill Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I have all three on hold for a reasonable $17 for all three. They seem legit because Laurie Pepper's name is listed in the credits on the back of the cd. They are the produced by some co. called "Audiophile Productions" I think. The real question is, are these worth acquiring? I love his Contemporary material, but don't know much about his music when he was released from prison and signed with Galaxy etc. So can you guys recommend these? Is this a good batch of records? Thanks, Bill (Holy Ghost) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I have NY Album (it was briefly available on Galaxy). In the last phase of his career, Pepper was astonishingly consistent...and great. I'd grab them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) The Artists House material is all in the Galaxy Box. In general, the Galaxy albums are better, as I recall. Edited February 8, 2011 by kh1958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Great price for these original albums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) My memory is that So In Love is the best of the 3 (esp'ly the title tune) and it's worth $17 by itself. However, post-prison Pepper (which includes some on Contemporary)is a different animal than pre-, and not to everyone's tastes. Much more overtly 'expressive', sometimes selfconsciously so, but it usually works for me, YMMV, etc. Edited February 8, 2011 by danasgoodstuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well the price is good, its much cheaper and easier than getting the Galaxy. I like this music in doses and that seems like a good dose. A convenient way to find out of later Pepper is for you, well recorded though I can't speak for those editions. And they are sitting there waiting for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I love late Pepper, but have the "box set syndrome" concerning his Galaxy albums... can't say anything about the original albums as I got to know this all in bulk, but as has been mentioned, all highly consistent, and in my book, all very good to great!

AndrewHill Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks everyone for the recs, I'm going to pick them up on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom in RI Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have "So In Love" on Artist House. Were the other two titles ever released by Artist House or did they come out after Artist House folded? I was under the impression that Analogue Productions issued the other two titles first.
