This is fun! Can someone hand me the popcorn please?

The Donaldson was here I guess: http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Lost-Grooves-Rare-And-Previously-Unissued-Slices-Of-Funk-From-The-Vaults-Of-Blue-Note-67/release/898421

See, the jewel case itself is perfect. It's man that's the problem (same with communism, I guess )

cusid ew od yhw neht ?niaga revo dna revo noitcelloc notgnille ... uhm, what's going on here? had this happen several times today ... anyway, tend to agree in some respects but no in others - i.e. Monk and Ellington deserve all attention they get, and Ellington is NOT being reissued over and over again at all ... Sony stopped their programme, lots of stuff needs to be sought on vinyl or on old used discs, some only released in France ... and we're not speaking obscure avantgarde music of the seventies but some of the greatest music ever made ... but yeah, I'd love to see those John Carter albums around again, and I'll be buying the Braxton reissues as soon as they appear for sure! on the other hand, the Plugged Nickel set was around for a few years, it cost an arm and a leg (around 200$ in shops over here, and I bought it while still in school ... took me a while to save that money!) ... nowadays of course it would be a small "book"-like set, 20€ or people will scream "much too expensive" ... but I guess that's the only "market" that's left for physical product, sometimes I really think it's a disgrace ... point being: the 10'000 folks who bought that box when it was around are probably about the number of people that were ever going to buy this, a few missed out/are too young/found out too late, as always (and of course I'm in that camp about other stuff, and I've often delved into my pocked deeply to make up for it, too, a day after buying twice the amount of music for a third or a flatted fifth of the same price) ... there was even a picture at one time: the contents weren't that exciting ('xept for Rivers' "Streams" that was to be included) ... seemed like a rather odd hodge-podge

you, sir, must be of weak spirit

the First Impulse set goes for 28€ on the yurpeen a-sites: http://www.amazon.fr/First-Impulse-Taylor-Collection-Anniversary/dp/B0042KZJ4Q/ http://www.amazon.de/First-Impulse-Taylor-Collection-Anniversary/dp/B0042KZJ4Q/ http://www.amazon.it/First-Impulse-Taylor-Collection-Anniversary/dp/B0042KZJ4Q/ now those Coltrane rehearsals are certainly not essential, but the whole thing is great, with plenty of photos and all ...

Herbie Hancock Columbia set on Amazon UK - 40 pounds and shipping for 30+ CD's. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B003M3UJIK/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new My thought as well when I saw the current price on aDE and aIT (58€): http://www.amazon.de/Complete-Columbia-Album-Collection-1972-1988/dp/B003M3UJIK/ http://www.amazon.it/Complete-Columbia-Album-Collection-1972-1988/dp/B003M3UJIK/ (okay, and why the heck does it look like felser quotes Sidewinder there when in reality it was the other way 'round?)

@Mike: sorry, wouldn't have remembered ... but yeah, I'd generally trust the montreuxjazzlive database as well (both regarding the info about different sessions here, and regarding setlists/performance order)

Have you heard the Bowie/Maria Schneider track? McCaslin is on it, too, of course ... http://jazztimes.com/articles/152272-david-bowie-and-maria-schneider-s-enigmatic-collaboration

Okay, so you can only delete hard and for good, one click and all is gone, no confirmation/reason for deletion, prompt for password? That's crappy indeed, no wonder stuff gets lost then!

Okay, so after the almost McPhee love-fest lately ... there's a seven disc set out on Paal Nilsen-Love's label, "Candy", that seems to be pretty great ... found out about it today and my order is in already! https://pnlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/candy-4 review (and more buying options - but this is a case where I buy from the source): http://www.freejazzblog.org/2015/11/joe-mcphee-paal-nilssen-love-candy-pnl.html and as I'm posting here already ... the "Pomegranate" saga continues ... I gave up hopes of ever getting my backer copy, so I put in a new order with the label ... after a month or so and not receiving anything again, I got in touch and at least Ed seems to now bother ... I might after all still get a copy in 2015, wouldn't that be nice?

Just asking a technical question, as I'm a moderator on another board: don't you have the option to delete for good vs. restorable? A very helpful feature I'd say ... no idea what software is being used, it looks less fancy but is actually nice to handle (i.e. simple text editor is default, inserting things is a bit straigher, less java crap it seems to be, but I don't understand the technical side of things at all).

hm, the video file I once had (or still have, somewhere, no clue), has the sequence wrong then, too (the note at the bottom comes from the info I got with the video, which is 45 minutes long): 1. Cold Duck Time (Eddie Harris) 2. Kathleen's Theme (Les McCann) 3. Compared to What (Gene McDaniels) 4. Kaftan (Leroy Vinnegar) 5. Listen Here (Eddie Harris) Note: setlist of the album does not contain Listen Here, Kaftan is a bonus track, the album in addition to the three other titles listed above contains You Got It In Your Soulness (McCann) and The Generation Gap (McCann)

Certainly not legitimate ... plenty of Boston radio broadcasts in circulation.

Thanks Lon! I'll live with the two disc version then (which I bought on a whim, spontaneously)

(Isn't the Love Supreme 3 CD version in the same format? or is that yet different again? and how do people store the Hip-O-Select sets, do you all still have shelves for 7" rekkids?)

haven't read anything yet, got the two-disc version early last week and gave the session reels a listen - would have enjoyed more of the undubbed stuff, but the main part is having the entire session with Shepp there - and that is pretty fascinating would be interested if anyone knows if there's any substantial difference between the two- and three-disc versions regarding the booklet and documentation (i.e. does it have different liners, does it duplicate some Kahn's liners from the old Deluxe edition as far as comments on the live set go...?)

Finally got mine delivered yesterday (hey, where's that format discussion? or did you create a special shelf for the Garner set by now and are glad to have a second item for that shelf now? ) -- upon reading the comments here, I'm looking forward to listening very much!

I guess you're right as well, Lon - but actually if they want the collectors to buy it, they need to add some rarities (Barney Wilen's "Zodiac" would be cool, for starters, but that's not PD ... not sure if that's a factor, but I have a hunch it might be). And yes, there'd be other options for French material, but CFdD is Universal-owned, isn't it? I think a few Jazz in Paris discs contained CFdD material.

Well, I think they'd still have the second half of the Mulligan and Eldridge, some more Gillespie, some Lucky Thompson, the Renaud sessions with Al Cohn, Tal Farlow, Oscar Pettiford, J.J. Johnson etc., the piano dates by Erroll Garner et al, the "Bebop in Paris" material ... but I see your point, most of these aren't names that still push sales, I guess. I'd still love to see another one, although I have all those black "Original Vogue Masters" discs.

We've long arrived at that conclusion, haven't we? (i.e. it's all or mostly stuff from a variety of US labels that Vogue licensed for French - or European? - release, and hence it's quite superfluous for us collector guys, and quite a bit of a letdown in light of hopes for a second Vogue box proper.)

Chronos don't seem to be around indeed. I have plenty of the Ellington ones, though with the RCA and now the Mosaics around, mostly they contain material I've got elsewhere, but many of them do still contain stray cuts not included in the boxes, I think, so I'll likely hold on to most of them. (I was able to buy most of them - and plenty of others, including almost all the Fletcher Hendersons - in a used shop that took over the holdings of some deceased collector ... that was several years ago but after the series had been stopped and plenty of them already went for crazy prices.) Not sure what other route there is here ... seems to be either Chronos or the boxes or the LPs mentioned. Not aware of any other real option (RCA did some smaller sets, "Never No Lament" for the Blanton/Webster band and one more for the mid forties band, but those contain much less music than what is offered in the box - those were mentioned above, sorry - and the mid-forties then is pretty much complete I guess - /EDIT).

Well, this would be about unofficial releases ... there was an earlier discussion here: But at least the keys would be (partly) plugged in by then. Not sure about purely acoustic.

The Mosaic holds 34 tracks, whilst the Lonehill 2CD set and the respective two discs of the Freshsound 3CD set contain 28 tracks. And wow, wasn't aware of Hip-O-Select having been gone. Sad!
