erwbol Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Aren't those tracks (and two more with Jackie McLean) on Quintets now? I'm also going for the Sonny Clark titles a bit later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherbored Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 you mean the tracks absent from the new reissue of 'my conception'? perhaps. i'll need to do the perfunctory research when i'm not at work.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftab Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Can anyone who has the new Poppin' and Hank w/Sonny SHMs tell me if they use the TOCJ covers, the LP covers, or both? I read that Oblique has the old and new covers - is it 2 booklets/inserts or one on each side of the booklet? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Oblique has the original Japanese cover on the front of the booklet, the RVG cover on the back of the booklet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 There are no reproductions of liner notes on the back of any of the booklets from this latest batch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 That's not true. Of the seven I've received Oblique is the only anamoly. It includes what I think are the RVG liner notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherbored Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 i'm guessing that the series will replicate the artwork from the original king release as well as the north american, if applicable, on the booklet exterior. or not. is that how 'oblique' is - the king color cover on the boklet front with the rvg on the booklet back? what are the other six you snagged? i normally love all the king covers, but 'my conception' is just plain ugly - and i still haven't convined myself i need/want it.

jazzbo Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yes, as I mentioned above, that's how it is. I snagged: Blue John Memphis to New York Spirit Boogaloo Matador Oleo First Session Have only listened to three total so far. Busy life.

jazzbo Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Don't believe so. Nor under its other title, "Standards." Edited June 27, 2014 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherbored Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 i get it, but personally that's the kind of thing that drives a collector a little crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Well, that's not to say it may not appear in a future batch. It's not a quartet album with Clark so its omission fits in that sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtSalt Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I see the SHM's and Blu Spec's have infiltrated the Dutch record shops - what's left of them - plenty of the reissued Blue Note's and others in the Hague Jazz Center and some in Sounds in Delft.

ArtSalt Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Between €19.99 and €21.99, if I remember rightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefromtheforest Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 My order arrived today: Big John Patton "Blue John" Jackie McLean "tippin the scales" Sonny Clark "My conception" Grant Green "first session" Tina Brooks "the waiting game" Tina Brooks "back to the tracks" Hank Mobley quintet "featuring Sonny Clark" Lots of listening to do! I was tempted to buy more but restricted myself to sessions I didn't own yet rather then succumb to the temptation to buy another version of a session I already have. I have been pretty pleased with the sound of older titles in this SHM series...and for roughly $15 us each it's not that bad a deal for a Japanese import. One last thing - glad to see the actual cover used for the "tippin the scales" CD is the same as the Japanese King LP! Ugh that USA lp cover is ugly, and thankfully it is reproduced on the inside rather then on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 As for Tippin' the Scales, always found that a weak date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulpope Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Ordered "Born To Be Blue", contemplating "Jubilee Shout", while trying to figure out the featured Bonus Tracks..... Edited July 2, 2014 by soulpope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 You're going to like "Born to be Blue," it sounds fabulous. As do the other Greens in this batch, I've listened to them all, "Matador" really stands out as killer sounding to my ears on my system.

mjzee Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Ordered "Born To Be Blue", contemplating "Jubilee Shout", while trying to figure out the featured Bonus Tracks..... According to Dusty Groove, the bonus tracks are alternate takes of Jubilee Shout, My Ship and Brother Tom. Note that the last 2 are also on the Mosaic.

etherbored Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 'matador' is *the* title i've been waiting over 20 years for an upgrade on. 'born to be blue' i've never owned... (i know) what am i missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) You're missing a great Green-Quebec-Clark session. Edited July 2, 2014 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherbored Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 but that cover....it's a thing of, shall we say, anti-beauty. i could easily pass it when it was just another domestic issue, but now as an shm there's no denying it. maybe this review put me off; "Ike Quebec is the problem with Grant Green's "Born To Be Blue." He's way too laid back. A sax player with more energy might have elevated this beyond the doldrums, but as it is, they're just phoning it in. Grant Green deserves 2 Stars for showing up, but with so many great sets in his discography, you're safe bypassing this." now that i think about it, these two reviews highlight selling points; "This one was a little too subdued for my tastes. I didn't like Idle Moments or Street of Dreams either. And I'm really not into Ballads. So I guess if you like the slow stuff, you might like this one too. Otherwise, you might be a bit disappointed." ""Born to Be Blue" and "Cool Blues" are the standouts. Overall a very good, if somewhat subdued, recording."
