Dan Gould Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 Thanks Chuck, and I appreciate it that you didn't encourage me to get a discography already. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 Thanks Chuck, and I appreciate it that you didn't encourage me to get a discography already. ← Figured you knew that by now. Quote
Jim R Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 . Anyway, I still have the Stanley Turrentine twofer with a lot of material (arranged by Duke Pearson in the late 60's) that hasn't been reissued since (not on CD). ← So, was this stuff from Always Something There and The Look of Love? Or is it possible there's BN Stanley I don't have? Enquiring minds need to know! ← Dan, there is BN Stanley that you don't have. Here's the deal. As I said, there is material on this twofer that hasn't been reissued since (and not before, so it's never been released anywhere else than on this twofer, afaik). Here's the breakdown: 1963-10-21 - cherry point,one o'clock jump (from “A Chip Off The Old Block”) 1964-01-24 - trouble #2 (from “Hustlin”) 1967-02-17 - she's a carioca (ela e carioca),samba do aviao (song of the jet),night song (theme from Golden Boy) - all previously unissued. 1967-06-23 - bonita, better luck next time, flying jumbo - all previously unissued. 1968-04-15 - smile (from “The Look Of Love”) 1968-10-01 - little green apples (from “Always Something There”) 1968-10-28 - those were the days,song for bonnie (from “Always Something There”) Quote
J.A.W. Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 Yes, overall the brown paper BN two-fers were superior in their selections. All of these are must-have classics, many with some previously unreleased tracks. Here are the brown paper titles from 1975-76, which weren't in print very long: BN-LA 451 Paul Chambers/John Coltrane - High Step BN-LA 453 Sam Rivers - Involution BN-LA 456 Lester Young - The Alladin Sessions BN-LA 457 Jackie McLean - Jacknife BN-LA 458 Cecil Taylor - In Transition BN-LA 459 Andrew Hill - One for One BN-LA 460 McCoy Tyner - Cosmos BN-LA 461 Gil Evans - Pacific Standard Time BN-LA 472 Chick Corea - Circling In BN-LA 475 Sonny Rollins - More From the Vanguard BN-LA 506 Elvin Jones - The Prime Element BN-LA 507 Fats Navarro - Prime Source BN-LA 521 Johnny Griffin/Coltrane/Mobley - Blowin'Sessions BN-LA 529 Paul Horn - In India BN-LA 530 The Jazz Crusaders - The Young Rabbits BN-LA 531 Wes Montgomery - Beginnings BN-LA 532 Gerry Mulligan/Lee Konitz - Revelation BN-LA 533 T-Bone Walker - Classics of Modern Blues BN-LA 579 Thelonious Monk - The Complete Genius BN-LA 591 Art Pepper - Early Art BN-LA 632 Jean-Luc Ponty - Canteloupe Island The producer of these was Michael Cuscuna, with some by Pete Welding. Charlie Lourie was Project Director of the Blue Note Reissue Series. (The sharp-eyed observer will see a pattern here.) You got it, dude. Most of these became complete Mosaics -- save Montgomery, Rollins, Ponty, Horn, and Tyner. The presence of 'Dr.' Jive Butler was nowhere to be found. The micro-dot sets never grabbed me -- visually or aesthetically. Maybe I'm a sucker for plain brown paper and the grain of its texture. ← This was generally a great series, though the pressings were not very good (to put it mildly...) Quote

sidewinder Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 Turrentine multi-colour twofer is next up on deck ! Quote
jazzbo Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 Yes, I threw on mine too. "She's a Carioca." Forgot how cool this stuff was! Quote
BruceH Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 Ah yes, he says knowingly, "the 'paper bag' series..." ← Heh, heh....yes indeed, what they lacked in graphic sharpness they made up in musical significance. Quote
hutch head Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 Anyone heard the Paul Horn "In India" two-fer? Looks intriguing. I saw it in my local used record store for $5.00. Quote
sidewinder Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 Yes, I have that one. It's pretty interesting - will have to dig it out, haven't played it for a while. Quote
hutch head Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 Any thoughts on the Paul Horn two-fer? Quote
spinlps Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 Any thoughts on the Paul Horn two-fer? ← At $2.50 a slice, why not take a flyer on it? I picked up the Andrew Hill and Cecil Tayler paper bag 2-fers earlier this month at the local record conv. The Hill includes three never before release sessions. Anyone know what the eventual releases were titled? Side 1 is OK, the tracks with string quartet on side 2 are interesting, but I really dig sides 3 & 4 with Hill, Henderson, Hubbard, Davis and Chambers. The Taylor 2-fer includes his Transition sessions (all of them???), a UA release, and one unreleased track... all of it highly enjoyable. Quote
spinlps Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 Is the Randy Weston - Little Niles two-fer considered part of a different series? My copy is in a brown paper cover with 1976 date printed on the cover... BN-LA 598. Yes, overall the brown paper BN two-fers were superior in their selections.

Daniel A Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) Is the Randy Weston - Little Niles two-fer considered part of a different series? My copy is in a brown paper cover with 1976 date printed on the cover... BN-LA 598. Mine too. Also missing from the list, I believe: BN-LA 474-H2 Horace Silver - The Trio Sides BN-LA 485-H2 Herbie Nichols - The Third World BN-LA 488-H2 Booker Ervin - Back from the Gig BN-LA 496-H2 Freddie Hubbard - Here to Stay BN-LA 590-H2 Milt Jackson - All Star Bags These I'm unsure of: BN-LA 473-J2 Art Blakey - Live Messengers BN-LA 483-H2 Jackie McLean - Hipnosis My copy of "Hipnosis" is glossy, but I think I've seen a paper bag issue pictured on the web at some point.

JSngry Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 IsMy copy of "Hipnosis" is glossy, but I think I've seen a paper bag issue pictured on the web at some point. ← No, Hipnosis was a glossy cover. It just used the same cover photo as the earlier Jacknife. Quote
brownie Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 These I'm unsure of: BN-LA 473-J2 Art Blakey - Live Messengers BN-LA 483-H2 Jackie McLean - Hipnosis My copy of "Hipnosis" is glossy, but I think I've seen a paper bag issue pictured on the web at some point. ← The Blakey - Live Messengers is glossy! Quote
sidewinder Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 The 'Jacknife' is a paper bag, the 'Hipnosis' is glossy. There's also a Jazz Crusaders 'Live Sides' glossy. Have you seen those French 'paper bag' single LPs, Brownie? I have a couple of them - there's a Warne Marsh within that batch, I think. Quote
brownie Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 Have you seen those French 'paper bag' single LPs, Brownie? I have a couple of them - there's a Warne Marsh within that batch, I think. ← I saw them all and still have several of them, including the two Errol Garner twelve-inchers 'Overture to Dawn' and 'Yesterdays'. The series was produced by good friend Gilles Gautherin who was working out of the United Artists offices less than a block from the place where I was working in. The releases of the Garner sides brought him trouble with the head office (probably after Martha Glaser made threatening call to UA over the reissues). Other reissues from the series which were very welcome because the originals were very hard to get were the Tal Farlow 'Early Tal' (early BN sessions), the Bill Perkins 'Tenors Head-On' (from Liberty) and the Marsh 'Jazz of Two Cities'. Quote
JSngry Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 Glossy Two-Fers that I have are: Art Blakey - Live Messengers Chick Corea - Circulus Jackie McLean - Hipnosis Lee Morgan - The Procrastinator Stanley Turrentine - Jubilee Shouts They were the last of the Two-Fers and were all released on the same day. Think that the aforementioned Jazz Crusaders album was the sixth item in the release. Never got that one. Quote
Daniel A Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) No, Hipnosis was a glossy cover. It just used the same cover photo as the earlier Jacknife. Right you are, Jim! I was thinking of Jacknife, which I'm sure I've seen as both glossy and non-ditto (maybe in a thread at the BNBB regarding the cover art of the then upcoming reissue - you know the one which said Jacnife, wthout a 'k', before it was corrected).

clifford_thornton Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 The King Japanese pressings of these various LA- and LT- sessions were chronologically significantly later than the cheapo US collections, am I right? Quote
brownie Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 Can't remember a significiant gap. The US (these came first) and Japanese releases appeared at around the same time, late '70s and early '80s! Quote
jazzhound Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 can't recommend the High Step two-fer. my beat up Score pressing sounds much better and can be had for resonable price. RVG difinitely didn't remaster these! Quote
blajay Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Not twofers, but I wasn't sure where to post this. I just picked up ten of these still sealed for $38 bucks. Seemed like a good deal. Any comments on this Best Of Blue Note Years Series? Apparently they were for Blue Note's 50th Anniversary, issued in 1989. Is this the full set of them? How is the sound? Quote
mikeweil Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 BTW - one or two of the brown paper bag series had print in yellow ink - almost unreadable! The only one I kept is the Randy Weston - 'cause it includes four cuts from the UA LP "Destry Rides Again" that wasn't included in the Mosaic Select upon Randy's request. I find the remastering for the CDs much better, and the Elvin Jones "The Prime Element" had some ugly audible edits! Quote
