Steeplechase reissues that combine what were originally separate releases.

[Rooster_Ties]

Thinking of stuff like Clifford Jordan’s Magic in Munich, a 1995 reissue 2CD set which combined two earlier LP’s from the 70’s — Firm Roots and The Highest Mountain.

which has these two sessions, which were originally released separately…

What OTHER Steeplechase releases are like this, that being together related or similar material into a single, bigger reissue??

And are there any you can especially recommend?  A friend recently gifted me the Jordan Munich thing, none of which I’d ever heard before — and it’s really fantastic!! — and I appreciate having it all in one place too (without having to track down multiple CD’s).

 

Live or studio stuff, no matter.  Reissues like this just make so much sense, and it’s lovely when a label thinks to have done this.

But I’m especially asking about Steeplechase, because in the case of this Clifford Jordan — there’s NOTHING about the title Magic in Munich that gives much clue that it’s actually two repackaged earlier sessions.

Thanks!!

Edit:  Just poked around on Discogs, and found this reissue “series” — is this everything Steeplechase did like this, 2CD sets (any 3CD sets?)…

When you click that discogs link, you should see where this 2-CD release is part of SteeplChase's "SteepleChase Mid-Price" series. If you click that link, you'll see a bunch more listed as "2xCD". I would just click through those and see how many of them were originally released as 2 LPs.

@Rooster_Ties, along with the Clifford Jordan that you point out, I think my favorite two-fer in this series is Kenny Drew's Dark and Beautiful, which pairs Dark Beauty with If You Could See Me Now. 

Both are trio sessions with NHØP and Tootie Heath from 1974.

I believe that Stateside Distributors, the label's US distributor, told me that the entire mid-price line is out of print.
