  2. The Scorpio mystery

    in Re-issues

    Posted · Edited by Pim

    Now I’ve got a few of these in my collection, mostly bought when I was unaware of this ‘label’ called Scorpio. But everytime I listened to them I did notice that they did not sound great and different from all Blue Note records with a date of release. I’ve got two questions about them:

    1. How does this thing work? Are these legit? I mean they violate every US copyright law don’t they. But Scorpio is based in the US. How do they get away with it?

    2. Did they also do this with other labels than Blue Note? I recently bought an undated reissue of Jimmy Heath’s ‘On The Trail’ and don’t like the sound at all. It has that same weird empty and flat sound.

    Thanks again guys. Hope it will be findable trough Google also. And yes feel free to discuss here or in the comments of course. With 30 years young I am hardly an expert on jazz of course.  
     

    @Niko thanks that’s some great research you did there! I will make a correction and a note of this on my blog :)

    Thanks for all the kind and encouraging words guys! That really motivates me even more to complete this fairly big project :) 

    @Niko you could be right on that. I can’t find any other data and no studio is mentioned anywhere. I also once read that Mal did not visit the states until 1973... but that is probably not true.

    In the topic on Mal Waldron I stated proudly that I had collected all of Mal's music as a leader, and from 1964 all his music as a co-leader and sideman as well. I also put forward that I wanted to start a blog reviewing all of his work since that year. Well, I just got started and the first 4 reviews are a fact! I hope some of you guys come and take look now and then. I find it very hard to promote such a blog. I hope it's okay with both JSangry and of course Jim Alfredson if I post a update after every let's say 10 album reviews?

    You could find it here:

    Thanks in advance for reading and I hope I can inspire you to spin some more Mal ;)

    I need Bobby Hutcherson- Happenings- is the tone poet not to bad an option.  how many here have ok ones?

    Happenings was not releases as a Tone Poet. It was released in the 75th birthday series and my copy sucks. Loud pops and it sounds damaged although there is nothing to be seen on the vinyl.

    It does appear that there is a bit of a sale on at Record Store Merurido, but I am just not able to navigate the menus even with Google Translate.  I gave up and migrated to Amazon.co.jp where they had a few copies of Waldon's A Touch of the Blues left.

    In the process of doing all this, I found out that Waldron's What It Is is available for pre-order (shipping on or around Jan 27), so I decided to get that as well.  Kind of an expensive day, but that's sort of par for the course around here...  I assume there will be another large batch coming out at the same time, but I promised myself not to even look...  ;)

    Both great records 👍

  19. What music did you buy today?

    For me no amazon or Dodax this year. We're in another full lockdown here in the Netherlands cause of covid 19. Record stores are also closed but most of them decided to deliver at home. So I ordered at my local record store here to support it in these tough times. What I ordered:

    On CD:

    R-1917852-1414077261-2540.jpeg.jpg

    On new vinyl:

    R-16200472-1605171851-4943.jpeg.jpg

    R-16518825-1608237496-3177.jpeg.jpg

    The last two are new releases on the great 'Pure Pleasure' label. Can't wait to give them a spin.
