Chuck Nessa Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 2 hours ago, JSngry said: I wonder what they used in 1975 for the paper bag first issue of the extras? Because whatever it was, those cuts sounded boxier than the OG 1957 LP. That's neither good nor bad, because it's a boxy room. But now I'm curious, because there we no credits on that set other than originally recorded by RVG and produced for release by MC. And Rudy was certainly around then. I also wonder what Rudy used to make the 7.5 ips reels, especially tape width. And if these old OG tapes have already been used, just how "virgin" are they? Questions aside, my curiosity has gotten the best of me and I'm in on this one. I am dubious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still do new releases and first-release archival items (i.e. Blakey, Elvin Jones) on CD but catalog reissues are vinyl only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 For some reason the Village Vanguard stuff never really spoke to me. Hard to tell why as I love Newk, like this period and most other people are so damn enthustiac about it. So I decided to stream them once again but still no 'click' here. Won't give up on them yet though. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stompin at the Savoy Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I have the 1987 cds of this. Never got the RVG version. So I might upgrade if the sound turns out dramatically better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 The strangest thing happened the other day (interestingly it happened the same day the Org board was down): this was available for streaming on YouTube Music but it only lasted for a day because it's gone now. I'm not sure how or why it happened. I'm just glad I was able to listen to it for the brief time it was available. I don't know what magic Joe Harley & Co worked on these tapes but these performances sounded phenomenal! Almost like you were there at the Vanguard! I can only imagine how good this is going to sound on the actual LP or CD (I'm planning on getting the LP). I was on the fence about this release prior to hearing this what must now be called a "sneak preview." Having heard it now is like hearing it for the first time with clean ears. Prior to this, this album had never made an impression on me; the other day, I couldn't stop listening. It all clicked tremendously! So yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to this release now!

Rabshakeh Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I'm anti-box set and audiophile reissues, and I generally prefer the "original" historic LP release to any expanded version. But this is one three record set in which I might actually invest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I buy jazz vinyl once or twice a year, on average. This might well be my first 2024 LP purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Bailey shows up quite a bit in those Leftbank concert listings... That thread being up and the mention of Walt Namuth made me find another recording credit for the bass playing Donald Bailey ... https://www.discogs.com/de/release/8045466-Leslie-J-Schnierer-SJ-Ted-Hawk-Trio-The-Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago The sound is so good on the LP edition ( presumably CD too) because they used the tapes from the Vanguard rather than dubs created by Ruby immediately after the recording. Apparently the original 7.5ips tapes haven’t been used since then. The difference is startling to my ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
