Yes, I was hoping they would do a Russian set! The French box is excellent, sound quality and performances. Will definitely grab this set. It makes me feel definitely better not being the only one ordering Ansermet`s Russian Stuff

in case this is the seller - http://www.ebay.com/usr/ftfym65 - that`s the one I just linked to Greg M. I´ve ordered a couple CD`s from him via Ebay recently (the only communication was the update via Ebay about the CD`s shipment) and the goods made it within 2-21/2 weeks to Europe......securely packed parcel`s and factory sealed cd`s. It IS this seller ... (see above) But now you got me really worried. I have checked my mails again but since receiving an automatic Auctiva purchase confirmation and my payment confirmation from Paypal (I paid immediately after making my purchase) I have not received ANY shipping information from whomever ... And 3 weeks since my payment have passed. to calm you down.......regarding my last two items (ordered the same day individually) i received a ebay notification reg one item, wondered about the second item (didn`t hear a word....) and received two days ago BOTH items in ONE parcel.... again there are alternatives reg other sellers, but this guy has all Sam Most (within reach) Greg M. was interested in..... Just received an eBay confirmation from that seller regarding my item bought and paid for on 4 April (!!): Item is now marked as "shipped". In short, a full FOUR weeks after the purchase this character finally sees fit to ship my item!! WTH?? And no word at any time about it being "temporarily out of stock" (on the contrary - mine was proclaimed to be the last in stock, and right after I had made my purchase the item was relisted with 2 said to be in stock). Am I amused? You bet I'm not! And I cannot really say I can wholeheartedly recommend this kind of business practice. I've half a mind of leaving feedback that reflects this. And I must say by and large this ties in with the expriences I have heard from other European buyers who have bought from Japanese sellers through the years. Helter-skelter shipping, close to zero communication (unless you limit yourself to receiving preassembled standard text modules - guess why ...), etc. I realize others around here had had better dealings (congrats to them) with Jap. sellers and I sincerely regret now I have never tried Hiroshi Tanno when he was still doing business (because his customer service seems to have been stellar indeed) but yet ... Really sorry to hear about his negative experience of yours - as mentioned mine made on average within 3 weeks to my place - but experiences seems to vary with a number of japanese dealers, another otherwise reliable (small) japanese dealer`s order of mine is now delayed already for more than a week and no explanation from his side....Hiroshi Tanno`s service quality was simply mirroring a different attitude (=old school....)....although this is most likely unsatisfying to you, I`ve learned (aka had to get used to) over the years being ok with it when the goods from Japan make it factory sealed and well packed to me at all...of course HMV Japan (when you can make it through their protracted ordering system for international clients) or CDJapan are shipping considerably faster, but the uptick for doing so is quite substantial.....bottom line : ENJOY the CD`s , as soon as they are with you........ This is unfortunate - I've had nothing but good outcomes with the Japanese dealers, esp CD Japan & HMV Japan My most recent order, a number of the new Bethlehems & the Coltrane in Japan SHM set with the extra interview disc got here in 3 days after shipping (usually within 1-3 days of ordering) Are there problems with using HMV Japan in Europe? No problems reg HMV Japan shippment to Europe, me believe - but also as returning customer sometimes it takes several tries to make it to the final check-out page........and it works suddenly as if based on a random generator....but probably based on me being "extra dumb"

Good various artist compilation recommendations?
soulpope replied to awesome_welles's topic in Recommendations
Share this sentiment........ -
Max Roch Quartet "Live in Amsterdam" (Baystate) 1977 Max Roach Quartet "Nommo" (Victor) 1977 - Recorded LIVE in Lausanne, Switzerland, October 1976 Both Live Peformances feature the Roach Combo with Billy Harper, Cecil Bridgewater und Reggie Workman Considerably more intense than both the Live Date in Tokyo (January 21, 1977 at YUBIN CHOKIN HALL, TOKYO released on Denon) and the Horo studio recording released as "The Loadstar" in 1977"................ to my knowledge never digitalized.....

Fair enough, Vishnu Wood really SHINES here

Based on the beautifull LP foldout cover this supposedly would merit a papersleeve edition......

http://www.popsike.com/BOBBY-JONES-DUSKO-GOJKOVIC-Benefiz-LP/4875725924.html Bobby Jones Dusko Goykovich 5tet Live 1973 Burghausen - brilliant performance feat Horace Parlan + Peter Trunk + Todd Canedy , Limited Edition LP issued to raise funds reg medical care for Bobby Jones, never out on CD and very much sought after (scarcity meets quality, therefore rightly so).....
-
I definitely agree with you there. A matrvellous LP and that rhythm section A pity that rhythm section never recorded on their own at subject time for ECM ....... You can get close with this one... thnx for reminding...but as you said JUST close ...........of course we have to settle for what we got, nevertheless as Manfred Eicher @ECM had already quite a prolific release police at subject time it seems sort of "bad luck" the "Dansere Rhythm Section" didn`t have a shot reg an own release......btw Arild Andersen=

Thnx pal for posting the Marshmellow cover earlier.....it`s an as good as it gets Bud Powell pic and I simply HAD to use it Me being definitely interested on your view regarding Foster`s "Loud Minority" though......

Harold Land`s "Damisi" comes to my mind.......and of course "Another Shade of Blue".....

yes, and a good fit in this context could be

Nice - and right, sometimes you would wonder how Dexter Gordon could walk on/off stage at all ......

Send them an e-mail and suggest it.... @Head Man : common thoughts ;-)...actually I`ve posted this here while hoping other interested Forum Members would also write to ACE http://acerecords.co.uk/pages/contact and inquire reg. subject reissue establishing sort of broader demand. Of course I already did so and also suggested this in another german language Jazz Forum today in the morning....based on some experiences in the Soul area I do know that ACE (also) takes in account collector`s perspective
-
Hal Galper "Inner Journey" (Mainstream) 1973 - would love to see this being reissued (by ACE)........
-
studied the background info - sounds interesting......
-
A close friend ordered these too and showed them to me - can confirm your impressiones /description - of course visible gap to japanese reissue quality, nevertheless much better than most CD-R "offers".......so for the time being, despite potential legal issues, this is a feasible way to get this material.......

Ah, perhaps that's the answer then. .... a "freebie". That might also answer my query as to how good it is! @ Head Man : received with a little help from a japanese speaking friend following "enlightenment" : The 35 CD`s of the March 2014 releases http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/search/music/adv_1/barcodecatnum_CDSOL-61/category_1/x_0/y_0/ do carry a coupon (inside the booklet, me believe). With five coupons your are entilted to ask for a freebie, which is either Tommy Watt with Tubby Hayes "Watt`s Cooking" CDSOL-6000S5 or The Australian Jazz Quintet "Three Penny Opera" CDSOL 60000S6 The catalogue specifically states, that this two releases and based on the numbering system the previous four items CDSOL 6000S1 ??? CDSOL 6000S2 ??? CDSOL 6000S3 ??? CDSOL 6000S4 Mel Torme "California Suite" will NOT see official release How to proceed if being in possession of a sufficient number of coupons but not living in Japan is still questionable to me (there is an adress, FAX and Phonenumber...) All in all the typical way how the Japanese Reissue Companies care for their domestic clients - which is fine for the latermentioned, but sometimes frustrating to us "mere mortals"......hope this was of help though.... I rest my case.
