LPs that have never made it into CD

It is a crime that this great later-period Red Allen live (*) recording has never seen a CD reissue.

 

(*) correct me if this is not "the f****in' right order" of the adjectives, never got to know this part of the English grammar...  

This one is available on streaming services (and it is not a needledrop - I have the LP as well).

Good album!

I don't necessarily agree. There are LPs I've had for more than 30 years. Sure, they might not be exactly in the condition they were, but they still play fine. A printed book will degrade over the years. Does that make me want to scan it to PDF? No, I like the feel of the cover, the handling of the LP and the awareness of gradual wear actually brings a sense of urgency to my listening session. In short, higher quality time in comparison to digital playback

Sure, old records, glorious objects. They encourage bonding and/,or fetishism. And definitely nostalgia, real or imaginary 

But how many of them cost $35.00 new?

Once in a very blue moon, I'll scratch a record.  But that's extremely rare. 

That's what happens when you don't take your records to parties. 

A lonely record is a sad record.

I sort of figured as much about the tapes, but I'm guessing there's still some work that could be done. A similar wishlister would be a definitive CD edition of Alabama Feeling. The one that came out in the 90s was a dreadful needle drop. I'm sure there's an unplayed copy out there somewhere that could be put to work. It seems crazy to me that none of Arthur Doyle's work is available.

Yeah, agree it's a shame Doyle's music is out of print for the most part. I have had Alabama Feeling a few times and the pressing isn't exactly great, but surely someone could clean up the audio from a vinyl copy. I don't know if the tapes still exist anywhere -- maybe with Doyle's family in Alabama, but hard to say.

At least this one is available digitally, and legitimately: https://arthurdoyle.bandcamp.com/album/first-house-recorded-live-at-the-stone-july-11-2012

oh, and this one too: https://ayler-records.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-glenn-miller-caf-3

Still hoping for Brubeck "The Last Time We Saw Paris" and Brubeck/Mulligan "Compadres". Both were on Columbia LPs, now Sony.

Bump. Still hoping for these 2 CDs.

VERY nice!!! 🤩

Dave Burrell's 70s Japanese LPs have been inconsistently out on CD. It would be nice to see a package with all of them in one place: Dreams, Questions & Answers, Only Me, Lush Life, Round Midnight, and Teardrops for Jimmy. Each one is excellent.

Black Spring, on Marge, has also seemingly never made it to CD.

Dave Burrell has been one of our more stealth artists.

[clifford_thornton]

Agree. Thankful to have seen him many times over the decades (and interview him once).

[felser]

I got to see him solo at Rosemont College a number of years ago, and ask him about his time with Archie Shepp.  He was very engaging, had a great story about French revolutionaries storming one of their concerts.  I stumbled into a cheap CD copy of Questions/Answers from a Japanese seller on ebay (was able to bundle shipping for about a dozen discs), and am glad to have it.

Big Dave Burrell fan here, have a few CDs but would like to see much more on the medium. After Love, from the French America series, stands out as weird but extremely interesting.

I originally got into DB because I l dig people who bash on the piano (e.g. Bobby Few, Cooper-Moore,... of course CT), but I enjoy his playing in other styles as well. The Jelly Roll Joys is great fun, High Won High Two has some surprising medleys. Consequences, the duet with Billy Martin, has lots of outside bashing. Don't have too much else with him as leader, only a Japanese piano duet album with Stanley Cowell comes to mind right now.

Much of the Moers Music / Ring Records catalog.

yeah, the duo with Cowell is beautiful. I don't have Consequences but the others I know & love.

here's the interview I did with Burrell in 2004: https://www.paristransatlantic.com/magazine/interviews/burrell.html

Few and Cooper-Moore can get very physical indeed, but both have a romantic side for sure. Few spent years leading a trio and singing in Cleveland bars, and his whimsy always comes through. I think of Cooper-Moore and Few as having a direct line to Jaki Byard, and the same could probably be said of Burrell too. Both Burrell and Cooper-Moore were in Boston although I'm not sure that Jaki was living there when either of them were studying in the city.

Thanks! Excellent interview. I used to read paristransatlantic semi-regularly, but don't recall seeing it. Maybe at that time I was more into avant-garde classical than jazz.

yeah, it was a really wonderful site and I honed my writing chops there for sure. Dan was very forgiving (and repairing) of my "occasional" word salads.

Glad you dug the interview. It remains one of my favorites.

Indeed. Most of the DENON LPs never were on CD, if any, it seems.

I missed this one, probably because I don't like Moncur, who always, seems to sound a bit flat to my ears, but this is a good record, judging from what I found on YouTube.

I know Moncur did have embouchure problems periodically. I've always adored his playing, though. Glad to have seen him with McLean & Hutcherson once, a weighty experience as you can probably imagine.

When was that? My idea of heaven

[clifford_thornton]

Gosh, 2005? NYC, Iridium IIRC. Hearing them do "Love & Hate" was something... René was also on the gig; I forget who was in the rhythm section, might've been Leroy Williams on drums.

Sounds great Clifford. Love & Hate is such a beautiful piece of music.
