tthanks Chuck!

1. The listings on the EMI issue are in error. No extra music available. Notice they list 3 Proverbes as well, but there are only 2. 2. The Universal Sound disc does predate the current EMI disc but an earlier French EMI disc in the "Jazztime" series was the first cd version. All 3 of these dubbed "Sophie" from vinyl. 3. I assume EMI has lost the tapes. Now to confuse things further, Lester Bowie told me they recorded "a bunch more Proverbes" which were not issued. I mentioned this to Michael Cuscuna years ago and he said a search turned up no surviving tapes. Thanks Chuck. That's a great lost for the music history. Did you see the original vinil? I was wandering if the CD cover of the Universal SOunds is the original. In this cover the band appears playing and it correspond to film frames. All Music Guide says the music was not used for the film but that pics could be the prove it was. Anybody has seen the film? Did they finally used the soundtrack?

Hello Chuck, I was looking for information about Les Stances a Sophie and I think you can help me. I've read what you said in ¡this forum and I don't understand it at all. Here are my questions: 1. Why do appear 3 versions of "Variations sur un Theme de Monteverdi" on the track list but they doesn't exist on the EMI CD? Does they really exist? Did you listened them? 2. If I'm not wrong, the Universal Sound CD was released before the EMI one. Was it also a dub release or was done from the originals master tapes? 3. Are really the originals lost? Sorry for being so curious and thanks a lot. Xavi, Barcelona.
