medjuck Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I just got an e-mail announcing that Mosaic was offering a 5 Lp package of the Mulligan sextet on Mercury. I guess since they aren't doing the Selects anymore this may never appear on cd. Too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Wouldn't expect a CD release there ... but yeah, a pricy but official alternative to the Lonehill 2 CD set ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I think I have much of this one on 1980s Japanese vinyl - will have to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing them on Japanese vinyl (all with bluish cover picture of Mulligan in tartan jacket) the very last time I visited Dobells in its final resting place in Covent Garden. I didn't buy. They were very expensive imports and the vinyl quality was said to be poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 This one seems to have flow under the upcoming releases radar - or at least I had not seen anything. I really enjoy Mosaic vinyl and am glad they are still putting things out in that format. Just picked up the Kirk set during the recent mini sale.

bogdan101 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'll probably pick this up, the samples sound great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I have all of this on vinyl so it's not something I'll be getting. Nevertheless well overdue for reissue. I'd rather see a complete cd edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm assuming there will soon be an announcement of a CD box set of the same material from Hip-O Select. It makes no sense that Mosaic would do all this work just to release it on LP only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I was thinking (hoping)that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find anything searching the Universal site. We must keep our fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 The Mosaic holds 34 tracks, whilst the Lonehill 2CD set and the respective two discs of the Freshsound 3CD set contain 28 tracks. And wow, wasn't aware of Hip-O-Select having been gone. Sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I have to wonder if, assuming it still even exists, Hip-O-Select would bother, given that most of the material is available (albeit not entirely "officially") on Lonehill and Freshsound. I wish they would, of course! gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just got this email from Scott Wenzel: We wanted to update everyone regarding the release date. The James P. Johnson CD set is expected to ship by early January and the Gerry Mulligan LP set is expected late January/February. We did plan on having an earlier release date and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlock8718 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Mosaic finally got this set out to me this past week! I have only given it a taste so far, but once again the quality audio (and playing, of course) from the LPs brings a tear to my eye. I just hope Mosaic continues to keep these LP releases going. I missed all the initial ones, and while I cannot at all claim to be an audiophile with a particular noteworthy hardware setup, I just love to hear this stuff on an LP issued by a label that I know will do the best they can with the source material.
