J.A.W. Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I wonder if Mosaic might ever tackle the late 1920s Ellington sides--at least the ones that are currently under Universal and Sony control. Well, that would be about all of them, wouldn't it? Universal and Sony together control all the Brunswicks, Sony has the Victors and the Okehs. What's left? gregmo There's the Durium, Cameo and Plaza recordings. (There may be more.) Someone on this Forum gave a complete listing and said-- IIRC-- that they were controlled by Sony. Unfortunately I've searched but can't find the thread. Cameo and Plaza were two of the labels that amalgamated (with Pathe US) to form ARC, so those are Sony owned. But Durium? I thought it was an Italian fifties label. MG Durium was the company that issued 'Hit Of The Week' records Ah, didn't know that. Thanks. So, which company owned it back in the day?

So he didn't record FOR Durium; he recorded for Hit of the week and Durium issued the material in Britain.

MG Well, the answers to questions like yours can be easily found with a quick search (in another window) that wouldn't interrupt your reading pleasure for more than a couple of minutes or even less I often find searches for European record companies very frustrating, they so frequently include accents which I ignore, and can't find them. So I usually don't bother to interrupt my pleasure to engage in frustration MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 BTW The Naxos series of Ellington cds is far from complete but does tend to include some rare things like the "Hit of the Week" sides. Sound is good too. Easily available in Canada if not in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'm not sure why posing a simple question needs or deserves such a patronising response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to my response to MG's question, I was wondering why people are asking questions they can easily find the answers to on the internet and MG explained. I was just being curious, that's all. Nothing patronising about it in my view. Edited October 5, 2013 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
