brownie Posted April 13, 2003 Report Posted April 13, 2003 Universal France will release this week a new series of 10-inch vinyl albums reissues. Included in the next batch are the following exact replicas: - the sountrack to the 1959 film 'Un Temoin Dans la Ville'. Music by Barney Wilen, played by Kenny Dorham, Wilen, Duke Jordan, Paul Rovere and Kenny Clarke, - the sountrack to the 1959 film 'Des Femmes Disparaissent'. Music by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Bobby Timmons, Jymie Merritt). Both were originally released by Fontana. No idea if the sound has been 'improved'. Other 10-inch reissue LPs include albums by Henri Salvador, Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. Quote
Peter A Posted April 13, 2003 Report Posted April 13, 2003 That's great news! I presume they will reissue the soundtrack to the film "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud" too in the future? And, please, a couple of Bobby Jaspar LP's... Quote
Claude Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 Has anyone actually seen these LPs? Amazon France lists the titles as CDs (probably an error, because of the title"Collection 25 cm") and as "not available". http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000...3917739-4605717 Quote
Late Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 Un Temoin Dans la Ville is a nice soundtrack. Some tasty Kenny Dorham thereon. Unless you're specifically a vinyl collector, a lot of French soundtrack work is already out on compact disc, both in the Jazz et Cinema (Jazz in Paris) series, and Universal France's Band Originale series. The one to get from the latter series — and something of a hidden gem (but maybe only to Americans) — is definitely Martial Solal's A Bout de Souffle. A great soundtrack, with an album's worth of extras! I would rate it in this order: . You see, now you have to get it. Quote
Late Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 Wut Ime tokkin' boug. Bad scan, but: Witch a few sound samples. Quote
brownie Posted May 31, 2003 Author Report Posted May 31, 2003 Claude asked: Has anyone actually seen these LPs? The 10-inch LP reissues showed up in Paris. They obviously were limited editions and seem to have disappeared fast. They were also re-reissued in CDs and these should be available without problems. I have the original 10LP issues and did not get the vinyl reissues to check on sound quality. Quote
