Mark, wonderful set, go for it. I'm on the sixth disc of eight total. The music remains strong as it evolves more into folk-rock compositions and ragas, but still with Graham's expertise front and center. As is normal for the Cherry Red family of labels, the sound quality is excellent, the packaging conception and execution is superb, and the price is fabulous. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

Davy Graham - He Moved Through the Fair: The Complete 1960's Recordings.

I thought it was great that you did it! People doing the BFT's generally listen before reading the commemtary anyways.

I know Tim is going to post soon. The others may be waiting for your safe test. Mine is too musically adventurous and dangerous!

By far the best version of this. The script and Stewart's nuanced performance are both superb. Also watched the George C. Scott version, which is very different. Scott is much more over the top.

Shot heard 'round the world, that one.

The new Jazz District CD which contains both albums.

Yeah, really. Lots of his songs, but the absolute nadir to me was "A Better Place To Be". I will admit to liking "Taxi" when it came out, but the sequel several years later was several bridges too far (and a commercial desperation attempt).

I have all four of them (and all four of the boxes of her remastered Warner/Reprise albums), but this is where I get off. The Asylum stuff leaves me cold (as does the Mingus album on WB/Reprise). My favorite Joni is the pre-Blue albums, and the first Archives set is stunning. Mark, I'm with you that the Don Juan album is much more interesting than generally given credit for.

This one doesn't. And it even went to #1 on the pop charts:

I received the Bley, Lyons, Murray, and have played the Bley - very happy with the SQ given the usual SQ of the original recordings on the BYG-Actuel label.

How much extra credit oo I get for completing the circle? All caught in the same Web(b).

I definitely have found it to be the most enlightening release in the series

I'm sorry (and surprised) to hear that. I also pre-paid, and have received all except the final three installments, and they have been good about answering my email inquiries (though it's been a year at lest since I contacted them). I hope they do right by you. I don't remember a September survey email.

Beware, parents, your kids could look like this if not guarded from the addictive evils of 7-Up and pressed ham sandwiches! BTW, fun album, though a little frothy even in terms of flower pop. Bunch of studio musicians IIRC.

I'm in.

Not so sure it is a you problem. A lot of coasting players on routine dates on a lot of those albums.

Same here on all counts.

Read this on an Amazon review (of Liebman's Wayne Shorter tribute album) by someone with the handle Roochak: "Liebman seems to have a confrontational relationship with the soprano sax; the instrument does exactly what he wants it to do, except when it doesn't. "

Interesting, but in French with no subtitles.

From the new box set. Norman Harris Philly Soul masterpiece.
