Son-of-a-Weizen Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) I see that this is expected to drop next week...with 3 or 4 additional tracks no less. Where have these extras been hiding for so many years? Not on the xrcd or K2....perhaps an earlier cd version?

ghost of miles Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Alternate takes or new masters? I got the K2 last summer... probably won't sweat it unless they're new masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 It's a TOCJ with 12 tracks. Expected Japanese release date according to HMV Japan: June 15, 2005. HMV Japan lists the tracks in English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete B Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 How odd - the original vinyl has all 12 titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolff Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 How odd - the original vinyl has all 12 titles. ← It does?? Not mine(both stereo and mono). It has the 8 like the K2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nelson Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 My Mobile Fidelity aluminum CD (MFCD-809) just has the 'standard 8' even though it was made by Sanyo in Japan @ 1987. The original engineering of Roy DuNann can't be beat. (Nevertheless, I don't expect to spring for the 3 extra tracks.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolff Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Is Fantasy/Concord done with SACD's? If not, I'd imagine this title would be in the next batch or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete B Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 (edited) I expect mine is a reissue although I was not aware there had been more than one edition of the record. I'll try to post a photo of the cover when I get home tonight. I double-checked it before my first post, and unless I'm hallucinating, they were all there. I do know that the tracks highlighted below as new are on my vinyl. I've listened to it many times and I've always been amused at Sheldon's inflections on "Why Can't the English?". Given the fact that each side of the lp is presented as a continous recording, I wonder why those tracks were ever left off?

DMP Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Wait a minute - are we talking about 2 different albums here? Didn't Manne do one later when he was on Capitol? I've had the Contemporary album since the late '50's, (and a couple of CD versions) - never came across any extra material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And TOJCs are primarily EMI titles, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Ah- that explains it. Mine is on Capitol. I forgot there was the one on Contemporay. Sorry for muddying the waters -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 So it's not the Contemporary version (the original one!) but the Capitol. There's great music on that album. Got my copy a long time ago. A freebie from Fred C. at the Jazz Record Center during one of my first visit - when it was still at its earlier adress - there. We did some trades. Or to put in different words, after he finished his business with me I have learned better since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Hiles Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 The reference to Jack Sheldon got me thinking of the Manne's capitol "Lady" lp & I googled it. It got a Grammy nomination in 1964 (for "Best Instrumental Jazz Performance - Large Group or Soloist with Large Group"), though it lost out to Laurindo Almeida's "Guitar from Ipanema". Rod Levitt's "Dynamic Sound Patterns of the Rod Levitt Orchestra" was also nominated, which I found surprising. For best "Rock and Roll Recording", Grammy voters showed their savvy by passing over the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" in favor of "Downtown" by Petula Clark!

DMP Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I always was lukewarm on the Capitol album - it was okay, maybe a little ambitious (and not in the good sense of the word) compared to the more famous version (done in one evening!) - I'd like to hear it again, though. But Manne's other Capitol album - the Gershwin one - was very good. That seems to have disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Discovery reissued 'Manne - That's Gershwin' as a vinyl back in 1984. Never saw the Capitol vinyl but got hold of the reissue which - as most Discovery items - was beautifully remastered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
