felser Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Those WEA boxes always are much less expensive from the marketplace third party sellers than from Amazon itself, so recommend not pre-ordering. I'm in for the box, his first several albums on Atlantic are classics of their genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Available for around $22 + shipping on Amazon Marketplace. My total for the 8 CD box, including shipping, was $25.94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I have this, which is enough for me; it contains 5 of the 8 albums: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 All I really "need" is the first three. But the Duke-Cobham thing with Scofield is a pretty worthy document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Same here, have that fiver ... and the Duke/Cobham, no sir, I don't want that ... gave a separate reissue of it a partial listen in a store once and didn't connect at all.

StarThrower Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I received my copy yesterday. It's a much better package than those cheapo Original Album Series 5 packs. And only 20 dollars and change. Spectrum comes in a glossy gatefold sleeve, and the others in strudy, non foldout mini album sleeves. And the classy booklet reproduces the album graphics. But my opinion is Cobham's best album is the first one. But at this price, I'm glad I've got the new box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Shearn Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) I ripped it to my laptop, and won't pull it out again, the "Spectrum" disc. I know there are complaints about the sound over at the Hoffman forums. Edited October 17, 2015 by CJ Shearn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Shearn Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I love how he used post production techniques to really enhance the tonal range of the drums, like the flanger on the "Storm" section of "Spanish Moss". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarThrower Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I assumed the last album, Inner Conflicts, would be the weakest. But turns out it's one of the stronger records in this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) I'm fairly sure the BBC recorded that show at the Rainbow for TV which forms much of the material for 'Shabazz' - remember seeing a bit of it when it was broadcast and they've never repeated it. Another lost tape I guess. Edited October 18, 2015 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
