tranemonk Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 https://www.importcds.com/discover-who-i-am-blossom-dearie-in-london-the-fontana-years-1966-1-970/602448413222 Product Notes Blossom Dearie - "Discover Who I Am: Blossom Dearie In London (The Fontana Years: 1966-1970)" / Discover Who I Am: Blossom Dearie In London (The Fontana Years 1966-1970) comprehensively documents the recordings this venerated yet enigmatic and under-appreciated pianist and singer-songwriter (1924-2009) made in the English capital. Remastered at Abbey Road Studios from the original analog sources, this Deluxe 6 CD boxset includes 27 previously unheard tracks, an extensive biographical essay and unseen photos. Anybody got any more info than this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) I don't know what further info you need. I did not get the box, but I did get all the musical content, four UHQCD lp facsimile cds from Japan of the four lps and bonus tracks, and the two disc SHM-CD set of the unreleased material, all I don't have is the book. The mastering is VERY GOOD. The music is. .. well it depends how you feel about Blossom and how you feel about 'sixties jazzy singers doing current pop tunes. If that's your thing, you'll love this box. I really like Blossom and most of this works for me, some tracks I'm not crazy about.

JSngry Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 How much coy can one box hold, what's the science on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I like Blossom, BUT this is too much for me. I'll stick with what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I have the Verve set on Acrobat. The Verve's feel more like her era of relevance to me. Wouldn't mind the Fontana set, but not at what it would cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 She was on Jack Parr a lot, right? Trying to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Looks good, but l am not sure that l need this. What l would buy instantly is a box set with all the Blue Stars of France recordings, which are scattered over so many releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
