The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Two Swan Silvertones CDs yesterday This is a Hob recording from 1967, some done live in the Scepter studios. Very, very good indeed, with extended versions of some of their great numbers. This is a Collectables twofer of two VJ LPs from the fifties. I've got 2 of their VJ compilations already and pleased that only 3 cuts are duplicated on this CD. The VJ material is MUCH more delicate than the HOB material (and also the Specialty material) but not quite as good as the King material, which doesn't seem to be available. MG Quote

MG MG - You probably have it but, just in case others don't, The Swan Silvertones' King recordings are available here. It's a needle drop bootleg. Also Ace released four of The Swans' King recordings on this legitimate release. Also, you may already know it but, in case you don't, Rev. Claude Jeter: What Is This (Hob LP 2114) includes a great live version of "Only Believe". The rest of the LP doesn't come close to that one performance, but "Only Believe" alone is worth the price of the record. Edited April 11, 2012 by paul secor Quote

Thanks Paul - I do have a few of those tracks - I only have a cheapo 10 track comp on LP, which is triff. Will get that one soon. Funnily enough, that CD came up top of the list when I did an Amazon UK search a couple of weeks ago, but it was listed as Swan Silvertones & Mills Brothers!!! I took one squint at it and said to myself, "I'm not even going to LOOK at an compilation of Swan Silvertones and Mills Bros," so I passed over it. MG Quote
T.D. Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 Just ordered the Threadgill Soul Note box Funny thing: I listen to a lot of "modern/contemporary classical", including some quite weird stuff, but my jazz tastes have somehow been really conservative and I never connected with a lot of "out"-type music. But I've been dipping my toes into avant-garde recently with pretty good results, and was highly impressed by the Threadgill clips I heard. Quote
