jazzydaddy Posted November 28, 2004 Report Posted November 28, 2004 Hi, I recently purchased what I thought to be Yusef Lateef's Cadet reissue of his "Live at Cranbrook" LP. The record jacket and label identified the LP as being the before mentioned Lateef album but careful listening and examination of the identification markings in the dead wax indicate side A of the album to be Lou Donaldson's Cadet release entitled "Lou Donaldson At His Best" while side B is the flip side of Harold Land's "Peace-maker" LP. While I was initally disappointed in not hearing brother Yusef I was equally delighted to hear Harold Land and Bobby Hutcherson. This may very well be their finest collaboration!! I would very much love to hear side A of the "Peace-maker" LP but in 30 years of record collecting I have NEVER seen it for sale and I would guess that whoever has control of the Argo/Cadet catalogue at thsi point has no immediate plans to issue it. You would think the Japanese would have gotten around to it by now. If anyone would be willing to share a CD-R burn of the "Peace-maker" album I would be most appreciative. I have a ton of OOP material and would be glad to trade. While I'm at it, does anyone have Yusef Lateef's "Live at Cranbrook"? Thank you for your consideration, Don Quote
Dan Gould Posted November 28, 2004 Report Posted November 28, 2004 I have all three LPs-the LD, the Yusef, and the Land-Hutch. On the Yusef, I have the Cadet reissue of this material, and the sound is pretty poor (not the vinyl, the Cadet reissue). I think they rengineered for stereo, or something. But pretty weak sound. PM me with your address and let me know if you'd like the other half of the Lou Donaldson as well. Quote
