Coltrane in Finland

[medjuck]

Just got an e-mail from The Lost Recordings:  John Coltrane:  LIVE IN FINLAND 1961 • 1962.  Is this really previously unreleased?

[jazzbo]

Gambit released a cd with a 1961 concert, and it appeared in a multi cd set.

And there were several unofficial releases of a 1962 concert:

So far this appears to only be LP?  

[jazzbo]

Yes.

Helsinki 1962 also appeared on this companion to the 1961 Chante du Monde box:

Looks like there is a fair amount of overlap between these Chant du Monde boxes and the Pablo box (which I have and love). It would be nice to have this stuff without buying part of it twice!

[JSngry]

But some of the Pablo box is mislabelled! Some is actually from Birdland?

Thanks.  I look forward to hearing the sonic upgrade.

good lord... I knew about the Birdland aspect, but not the other messiness.

I had the same thought. I don't own the Pablo box, but...

[Pim]

I do own it so some of it wasn’t recorded in Europe but at Birdland? Wow that’s messy.

[clifford_thornton]

Yup, first few cuts on disc two.
