hopkins Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Here are the tracks in a text file (separators are tabs). It can be useful to copy/paste the data in your tags if you rip the CD. And I added a release on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/release/29130643-Don-Byas-Classic-Don-Byas-Sessions-1944-1946 Tracks.txt Edited December 7, 2023 by hopkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being one of the first to receive the box may have a hidden silver lining: the music databases may well be populated with metadata by the time I get my set. I'd hate to think of typing in 9 cds worth of data 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that shipper is that he tends to drop his cargo at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.

I wasn't referring to the shipper, who actually did well by me on this release, but to the likelihood of the legendary Bill Barron box ever materializing. "Far" was a mixed metaphor.

hopkins Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) @Ken Dryden I renumbered the track on my discogs submission, as you requested. https://www.discogs.com/release/29130643-Don-Byas-Classic-Don-Byas-Sessions-1944-1946 I have written to Mosaic to ask them if I can get a larger image of the box set, but I doubt they will send one. If anyone scans the cover (my scanner is too small), please forward it! Edited December 8, 2023 by hopkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopkins Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Mosaic Records was kind enough to reply and provide a better quality image (300dpi, 1200x1200). If anyone is interested in using it for their files, here it is: I uploaded it to Discogs. Edited December 8, 2023 by hopkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom in RI Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Just listened to most of disc 1 this morning, there is some significant distortion on track 13 at the end of the tenor solo at about 1:10.

sidewinder Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Whoopee - Just been notified that my order is at 'Label Created' stage so with a bit of luck I'll get the Byas Mosaic before Xmas.

Anybody else notice this? Yes, there's something going on with the microphones at that point in the track. This must be in the original tapes. So far, I am very happy with the quality of the box set, given the source material. I have not yet listened to all CDs.
