Weather Report “Sweetnighter” Columbia LP Listening to this one more time before refiling it. Such memories this vinyl evokes. A cool morning and Fiona let me sleep an hour plus longer and I’m grateful. Saw a doe and a yearling in my back yard this morning. She wasn’t worried about Fiona but was staring me down. I just stood there (about 60 feet away) and talked gently to her. After a few minutes she moved her kiddo along slowly into the wood between my nearest neighbor and our property. Was a great moment. I love the bass playing of Messrs Vitous and White on this album!

I've listened to each disc twice now. A fantastic set. And a benchmark in remastering of this sort of material in my opinon.

I din''t get that impression. But honestly, who do you think HERE in this little internet island has an answer? Chuck MIGHT, and I'd value any info or impressions he might add, but. . . that's about it. When I have these sort of questions that I want answers to, I do some research elsewhere, like querying amazon or Sony. If I can't easily get a response from those quarters. . . I usually decide I'm not meant to know and move on.

Well your focus is clear. Go and find the answer!

Re-listening to this disc before moving on, it’s a good chunk of “Miles Davis in Europe” plus the track “Bye Bye Blackbird” which was not on that original LP. Phenomenal music I've loved for about 50 years (except "Bye Bye Blackbird" which I have known for a shorter period of time). “Miles in France 1963 & 1964 The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8” disc 3

I don't think anyone here has that answer. You could see if you can get an answer from amazon perhaps. I would think the more useful information might be for Sony to obtain and report. . . they would be the final decider on what material they own to reissue and they would know what quantities they shipped to each amazon store and other vendors. If these items are really "limited" (I think ultimately they are) if they sell out or don't should be useful information that Sony possibly collects via requests or lack thereof for further shipments, or requests from their clients.

As far as I know Sony is a Japanese company. They sell worldwide. Check them out, maybe they have a link you can make a query.

Nat King Cole Sings, George Shearing Plays Capitol cd

I have no idea. The two persons I corresponded with and could make inquiries like this to have now both passed on, sadly. I would think though that if anyone has a handle on the sales in the Japanese market and what that means for the market in Japan it is Sony Japan.

I don't know. I got mine from Japan and it was "a limited edition" and is no longer available for sale from cdjapan.

I love this material . . . I have both the LP and cd version. As well as much of it on US Columbia LPs Fantastic, varied musical performances.

GREAT disc!

Had a great dinner with my brother and sister-in-law, so good to have a long talk with them about this year and its many events. Now a very cool morning with a hungry dog and a stereo system warming up. This is the second time I’ve revisited this recording from the mid-nineties in the last wo mnths. It sounds so good on the system now and I appreciate it in a new way. Herbie Hancock “The New Standard” Verve cd What a band!

Another cold morning. I’m looking forward to a dinner out with my lovely wife and the older of my two younger brothers and my sister-in-law (my favorite of six, don’t tell the others). Fiona the dachshund is about to settle in for her first nap of the day and I’m ready to enjoy a few hours with the amazing sounding system. 200×200 7.78 KB “Miles in France 1963 & 1964 The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8” disc 2 This disc is mainly the previously released “Miles Davis In Europe” – a favorite since the 'Seventies. As the second night in Antibes '63 it is more fiery and Tony Williams is proving to the world that he is a force that will present to the world a new way to drum. And George Colemen is ready to show Europe what he can do.

Yes, he is a gentleman and literally a scholar. I miss his contributions. I still remember how warm and cheering being in MG's presence was.

Well, "Miles in France 1963 & 1964 The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8" (cd set) arrived from cdjapan.co.jp today--I think, like the last one, it is really the same as the US version with a Japanese wrap around with track llsting etc. in Japanese and a separate Japanese text booklet outside the slipcase. It's a very slim and trim packaging, different size than the first six volumes. But hell. . . Lucy is taking a nap and I'm spinning disc 1, the first concert in Antibes which is previously not officially issued, and the sound is pretty darned good. The playing burns.
