Thanks tjobbe, I'll be in Munich next week and hope to be able to pass at the local 2001 store.

The Universal CDs are the most interesting, as the ZYX remastering is very erratic.

I saw those Universals in stores some weeks ago. They look splendid. Very nicely done. I'll be picking some of these up as soon as budget allows...

I noticed the '04 remaster of "ASCENSEUR POUR L'ECHAFAUD" on that list. Anyone know if this is the long version or the short version of this material? I'm trying to decide whether to replace my recent Jazz in Paris version, which is the short one. And I'm curious about the echo/no echo thing as well, and whether this is the same (bad?) mastering as the recent Japanese issue, as mentioned by the Man with the Golden Gun on this thread.

Thanks,

Erik

Hi Erik, I've ordered the Miles Davis (and obviously some other of the Universals ) so I can tell you hopefully soon about this.

@Claude: yes.. the ZYX are somewhat strange if you get the wrong ones, but most of the Pablos e.g. are not that bad, and ....hey 5€ ... B) , and if you do not want to spent the money for the K2/SACD Art Peppers, the ZYX will do fine.

Cheers, Tjobbe

Yes, I might get the Chet/Galaxy album (breaking my self-imposed CD purchase moratorium because of this unforeseen bargains )

Erik, I have the new "Ascensceur" version. It is the complete 26 track edition. I've commented on the sound in the other thread

Man with the Golden Gun

a little Freudian slip of the keys, I assume?

Claude - Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I missed your comments in that thread somehow. If this edition doesn't have the mechanical whirling noise that Golden Arm mentioned, then I'm going to probably pick it up. Need the extra 16 tracks!
