mjzee Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 When Universal bought BN and other EMI masters, one of the conditions was they needed to sell some other labels to third parties; that's how the Roulette/Roost catalog came to be owned by Warner Music. Warner is reissuing these under the Parlophone imprint. What would we suggest they reissue next? I suggest a remastering of "Stan Getz - The Complete Roost Recordings." I've always disliked the sound quality of the 3-CD set issued under BN. In the liner notes, Cuscuna stated that the Roost masters were non-existent. Maybe so, although I wonder whether some have been subsequently found. More to the point, today's technology would allow higher-quality transfers to be made from whatever source materials are around, with far less reliance on No-Noise. So that's my vote; which do you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Under the Roulette label Warner Japan released the Count Basie and most of the Jack Teagarden and Johnny Smith catalogues, as well as others. These sound FANTASTIC. I think I got them all and I'd like to see them continue to release Roulette titles, such as the rest of the Tyree Glenn. They've done these right. I haven't seen these Parlophone reissues. I'd like to see them do any of the Roost or Roulette titles, these are good recordings.

GA Russell Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I would go for OAS boxes of the Mosaic boxes, such as the Basie live and the Maynard Ferguson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I missed the Basie Roulette sets. If this is their route rather than single-disc reissues, then definitely Basie, just get it right and get them all. That Anne Phillips thing, though, that's a damn good record. Surprised the hell out of me how good it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 It looks like this is another product of Roulette now belonging to Warner - excellent sound. If they would reissue all of her albums in such audio quality with proper discographical documentation, I'd buy it all one more time.

mikeweil Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Just saw, btw, that there was a reissue on LP in Italy: https://www.discogs.com/Johnny-Richards-The-Rites-Of-Diablo/release/4916803 - don`t ask me whether or not it is legit. But it could well be, as all the music they (So Far Out) reissued is from EMI associated labels. Edited April 21, 2019 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
