Guy Berger Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge. My vinyl of these shows the scars of youthful exuberance and recklessness. I recently bought Tales from Topographic Oceans on cd, and it sounded so good I went for these. I might later get Relayer. . . .That's about the end of my Yes interest. Those are three really good ones, probably their best. Relayer is good too. If you can get it for cheap you might want to check out Going for the One -- there's some good stuff one that one (especially "Awaken"). Guy Quote
jazzbo Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 Yeah I have decent vinyl of Going for the One and Tormato. . . . They're okay, they're pretty good. About that time though I got away from listening to prog rock and a lot of other things and into playing blues rock in a band and listening to jazz as my personal steady diet. I just don't "feel" GFTO and Tormato the same way, but I might grab the cds in time if I feel the urge for more Yes after these arrive. I think it's funny that I really loved Bruford in Yes, and never really liked the King Crimson albums with him, or Earthworks. Quote
(BB) Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 Oh happy day! According to the post mark my records have been in the mail for an entire week. Fantabulous ~ Oliver Nelson Tenor Gladness ~ Lew Tabackin & Warne Marsh Lee Konitz with Warne Marsh Dolpy ~ The Berlin Concerts Charles Mingus ~ Mingus (a cheapo jazzman pressing that luckily does not have the constant hiss that was on the Italian Candid I had). Oh and I've got the house to my self for a few hours. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 This morning, the postman brought my first batch of stuff from Japanese Victor’s new set of Fantasy reissues Doy you have your own dedicated postie MG? AND HE WEARS SHORT TROUSERS! MG Quote
king ubu Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 too many things... had to get rid of one of those sane tooths and did some pre-horror shopping... The second Weston is a limited 3CD reissue of his three 1989 albums (Potraits of Duke, Potraits of Monk & Self Potraits). Highly welcome since I never managed to get hold of the Duke and I got this one for 15€, which here is budget prize for 1 (ONE!) CD... Quote
Sundog Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Complete Bud Powell On Verve I've been thinking about this one for over a year. Finally pulled the trigger. Quote
tonym Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Posted March 6, 2007 From Amazon.co.uk (using the Org search bar of course!): a recommendation from Chuck and others and a recent ECM which I'm very excited about hearing, Quote
paul secor Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Complete Bud Powell On Verve I've been thinking about this one for over a year. Finally pulled the trigger. I finally got that one fairly recently too. I already had a lot of the material, but it was worth getting the collection just to be able to read the commentary by Barry Harris and this Board's own Michael Weiss. I'm sure you'll enjoy it for many years. Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Well, after a lot of soul searchin', I finally found a cheap copy of this and ordered it on Friday. It arrived today. The packaging is too big to go in my CD racks - but it fits into the 45 shelf, which I guess is the intention! MG Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Got one Russian-issued CD (not illustrated on web) with these two on it: (Ah - the days when a new LP cost 37/5d!!!! I might actually have SOLD that LP - the handwriting on the price tag looks like that of my boss in those days.) MG Quote

ejp626 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Ok, I went completely overboard and picked up something called the Schoenberg Ensemble Edition -- 23 CDs and 4 DVDs of contemporary classical music by the Schoenberg Ensemble. Don't think there is a real source in the States yet. This was the cheapest source for me (still in the UK): MDT website It will probably be something I listen to all the way through once, then will listen to selected CDs more frequently. I do hope I don't see it cheap a couple of years down the line though. All things considered, that's not a bad price. Curiously enough, I was checking out something about this set, and I find it has gone completely out of print (maybe only a few weeks ago). I suspect it is a rights issue (about 75% of the performances were taped for Dutch radio). So now I have a rarity. I'll hang onto it, but if it ever starts going for astronomical prices on eBay, I'll probably sell. Unlikely I know. Quote

I'll hang onto it, but if it ever starts going for astronomical prices on eBay, I'll probably sell. Unlikely I know. sounds like an interesting investment. I can't explain exactly what grabbed me so much about it, but after I read the review about the set, I thought hard for two days and then bought it. I've listened to about 1/3 of it so far. Only a few of the discs are devoted to Schoenberg. The music is pretty good, if you like "contemporary classical" or whatever they call orchestral and string quartet music being written after 1950. (Actually I have to say that the BBC radio 3 seems light years ahead of anything in the US for sponsoring and playing loads of new compositions, and I tried to listen to most of these shows. And I see that the Chicago Symphony has a few world premiere pieces and I may go see those shows. So I guess I am doing my bit to support expanding the canon.) I've been slowly putting myself onto a music budget (so no Hutcherson Select this month), though I did recently buy a copy of J.R. Monterose (the Conn version), and I am leaning towards getting a used copy of Here Comes Louis Smith. I think I will hold off on Smithville, as there seems to be a reasonable chance this will be rereleased by BN in 2007 or 2008. Edited March 16, 2007 by ejp626 Quote
