MJQ European Concert

[Head Man]

I have this recording as a single CD on Label M but have seen other releases that are on 2xCDs. Does anyone know whether the 2xCD set contains anything missing from the single CD?

From a little poking around the web, it appears that all the music is there, but some spoken introductions were cut.

I've got a really nice-sounding Japanese two-CD issue of this album.

Thanks Jeff.

Yes, that's what I read also. I just wondered if anyone could confirm that ALL the music is on my Label M release.

Thanks, Marcello.

Checking the timings it looks like it's just the introductions that have been removed. That's good(ish) news!

[gmonahan]

How does the sound on this version compare to the Collectibles edition?

IIRC they edited the introductions to make all the music fit on one CD. I sure miss John Lewis' voice of the Label M CD .... I still know several of his solos by heart.

[Chuck Nessa]

They are always easy to memorize.
