Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty * Original Soundtrack, is a soundtrack released by Konami and Japanese music label, Phantom (Japan), on November 29, 2001 under the catalog number KMCA-127. Two soundtracks were released for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. The first simply titled Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Original Soundtrack contains 17 tracks from the game, with the majority coming from the Tanker chapter, leaving many pieces from the Plant chapter absent. However, Konami decided to release a second soundtrack collection entitled Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Soundtrack 2: The Other Side which contains 20 tracks almost entirely from the Plant chapter. There are 3 versions of this soundtrack. The original Japanese version, a European version and a North American version with different cover arts. The European version was released on November 29, 2001 under the catalog number KOE-CDS-137 (discogs says 139) and the North American version was released on November 4, 2003 under the catalog number KCD-226. The Ever Anime issue is a Taiwanese bootleg. * Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (commonly abbreviated as MGS2) is a stealth action game directed by Hideo Kojima, developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and published by Konami for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. It is the fourth game in the Metal Gear series produced and directed by Kojima and is the direct sequel of Metal Gear Solid. http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_2:_Sons_of_Liberty_Original_Soundtrack

I remember reading that, too.

This one always fascinated me, Jon Hendricks was great at reciting, as on his own "Evolution of the Blues" project:

This LP sounds like it is monophonic! If il had a mono switch on my amp l would have checked it. Just put on the CD for comparison - the LP copy l have is indeed mono!

The base is Cuban, but of course filtered through Californian influences. With Bobby Matos, Rudy Calzado, Victor Pantoja, Eddie Cano there is quite some Californian Cuban/Latin prominence on board.

Better, sound wise and for the conception, more successful than Ambos Mundos. Harvey Mason was excellent at adapting himself to the Cuban groove, Eddie Marshall much less so.

R.I.P. I'm not that familiar with his work, but what I heard was very good.

Indeed! Same here. It's musically very good, but the sound is very problematic IMO. The drumset and amplified bass do not mix well with the Cuban percussion the way Jeff Chambers and Eddie Marshall sound. No drum set and a drier, more Cuban style bassist would have made that a terrific record.

I don't own copies of Stick Up and The Kicker. I have all the others on CD except Total Eclipse (French reissue LP). I will pass, just as the Hubbard and Clark and Henderson boxes. My collection already is too big.

Japanese 1977 vinyl. The technical credits say it was recorded direct to two-track.

https://jazzdiscography.com/Leaders/mckibbon.php It was Black Orchid! And yes, they are rare, McKibbon's more than Abdul-Mailk's.

Best wishes for a happy birthday! What bottle of wine was served?

AFAIK all of the Fantasy material was stored at the Iron Mountain facility after the Fantasy building was sold. Most reissues/box sets released after that had already been conceived at that point. I have no idea who the responsible people at Craft are - they now handle all reissues - and what their criteria are. The new finds of Vince Guaraldi recordings suggest there could be some unreleased Tjader material as well, especially from live dates, but who knows? New finds in recent years were live recordings from other sources, like the double CDs on Acrobat and Elemental.

No idea. There is noone left alive to tell. Perhaps they just jammed on Afro-Cuban rhythms and let the tape roll, and edited later. It was supposed to be Peraza's date , but the label decided to issue it under Tjader's name. Peraza was still a rather unknown percussionist at the time. The gig with Shearing was his first name engagement.

I was thinking about that one, too.
