maybe the Organissimo board crowd can support this and donate and get the cd in return......

I believe you only need 2 words to recommend this set: Sonny and Stitt. up over and out.......

The Griffith Park Collection has never ever been on CD. I'm hoping for a reissue soon as well. Both the Live and the studio LP's are great imo. Bring 'm on Warner!!!!

Maybe you should ask Jim to record you. I'm sure he will do it for a reasonable price!!!!!!!!

CJ: do you mean on the cd itself or the logo on the cover of the booklet (ie the original cover). The cd itself has either some sort of arty color repro of the cover (The Gale's) or is just black (Reuben Wilson).

not if Amazon.fr takes it (just as the previous release).

apart from the fact they probably won't have the same catalog number why should this not be true?????? Great news. Keep 'm comin' Water!!!!!!!

if you're willing to pay top dollar for it I might be tempted (and a really mean TOP dollar).....

strange.....should be old enough not to behave so childish......

Japanese of course......

If I may ask how old are you GregK?

No problem at all just not for this topic. Any discussion about music is good but please start another topic with this.

are we getting a little sidetracked here....................(Elton John, Alman Bros. Clapton) For another topic I guess.

Yes I have other mono SACD's (Analog Productions, MoFi, Fantasy, Delta and Japanese Verve's) and they are fine so it should not be my player.

Hello all, just finished listening to this SACD and noticed a strange thing. The supposed superior sounding mono version of the SACD (according to RvG's comments in the booklet) isn't that grealy balanced at all. The left channel has more information than the right (on my system). I have a mono button on my amp and than it's corrected and both channels have the same information. Is this me or do you also experience this. The stereo info is the same as earlier reissues I assume (didn't compare it with the Japanese K2 remastering).

To add to the original question.....(or statement as you wish). Norah's album was (I suspect) recorded digitally (PCM 16 bit that is). You can proces this later to DSD but it's still 16 bit PCM what you hear (if you are lucky and the transfer did come out without a loss). So in fact they did a great job in transfering this music to DSD without loss (according to the graphs). The main reason to release this album on SACD is of course the 5.1 surround capacity this medium has. It was never intended to be an audiophile upgrade..........

The rest of the Verve box is (almost all) available on cd so after this reissue of the Vanguard material it's become obsolete. Luckily I never bought it and burned the Vanguard sessions on CD-r a long time ago. Now of course I'm going the Japanese route for the comlete set. As I've burned it on 4 cd's from the complete set I assume the Japanese 4 cd set will have it all. Just found the track listing on HMV.jp: August 17: disc 1 1 Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe 2 In A Sentimental Mood 3 Re: Person I Knew 4 California. Here I Come 5 Alfie 6 Gone With The Wind 7 Turn Out The Stars 8 Polka Dots And Moonbeams 9 Stella By Starlight disc 2 1 Very Early 2 You`re Gonna Hear From Me 3 Emily 4 Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams 5 `round Midnight 6 On Green Dolphin Street 7 If You Could See Me Now 8 I`m Getting Sentimental Over You 9 You`re Gonna Hear From Me 10 G Waltz 11 California. Here I Come 12 Emily 13 Alfie 14 Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams August 18: disc 1 1 In A Sentimental Mood 2 California. Here I Come 3 You`re Gonna Hear From Me 4 Alfie 5 Gone With The Wind 6 Emily 7 G Waltz 8 Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams disc 2 1 In A Sentimental Mood 2 California. Here I Come 3 You`re Gonna Hear From Me 4 Alfie 5 Gone With The Wind 6 Emily 7 G Waltz 8 Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams 9 On Green Dolphin Street 10 G Waltz 11 You`re Gonna Hear From Me 12 Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams 13 Gone With The Wind 14 Emily 15 G Waltz I compared it with my cd-r burns and there's a track more on these Japanese CD's but I might have skipped a track for layout reasons. Maybe someone with the Verve box can check this.

Thanks Ed but I already have it from Mosaic.........and I already had (almost) all recordings on seperate (Japanese) cd's.

Thanks Mike but that's a whole different era we're talking about (pre 50's).

I belive this music is also covered by 2 Blue Moon/Fresh Sound CD sets (OOP now). I'm interested in these sets but no luck yet getting them (anyone???).

Just got this mail from a CD Universe customer service agent: Dear Reinier, Unfortunately, there had been a pricing error with the "Complete Verve Sessions" CD set. It is our policy to honor 1 unit at the lower price if this occurs, and we have adjusted your order accordingly. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, and please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. So for me it's the deal of the century (at least for one copy it is).
