captainwrong Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Contacting the label is the correct thing to do. If you email eMusic, that's what they're going to tell you anyway. From what I understand, it's a little different than a physical record store. They can't just call up Delmark and order the missing titles (though I too wish they could.) Delmark has to send the tracks over. So, giving them a nudge is going to be the only way that'll happen. If you've never been to the message boards, they'll tell you the same over there. And people always get worked up over anything region specific, especially free stuff. Right now, I can point to a dozen or more releases that are UK only that I'd download in a minute, but I understand that's the way it goes sometimes. A lot of eMusic subscribers don't get that. (You should have seen some of the hellfire people outside the US were spitting during the brief time eMusic had the Rolling Stones ABKCO catalog.) Quote

I'll report back if this results in some more music getting uploaded onto eMusic. Personally I think all this region 1, region 2 stuff is ridiculous, particularly since it does so little to actually curb "bad behavior." But yes, people do begin to feel that what is up on the web should be available to them and really get enraged when they can't have it. I guess I'd cut the eMusic subscribers some slack as they are at least trying to obtain music legally. I think when you spend a little time surfing the blogs and searching through torrents, the entitlement attitude is a bit out of control -- and it is at least a little contagious. (I know we've gone over this hundreds of times, but it really does seem that no one under 18 is going to pay for music ever again.) Quote
stuartjewkes Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 This month I got the following Betty Davis - Betty Davis Nurse With Wound - some stupidly long title from 2003 Wadada Leo Smith - The Year of the Elephant Sharon Jones - Naturally Melt Banana - Cell-Scape Quote
jazzbo Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 One of my purchases this month was the Jay McShann on Sackville entitled "Just A Lucky So and So." Very nice. Quote
Hoppy T. Frog Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 I think the "regionalism" of certain titles or artists more has to do what or what kind of record contracts someone has. In the days before mass globalization, you could be on a different record label in every country. Until the 90s, U2 were on CBS in Ireland and Island Records everywhere else. Or the Sex Pistols on Virgin UK, and Warner Bros in the US. Quote

Still happens a lot now with small labels, they sublet their artists to large labels in different areas due to their comparatively inadequate promotional budgets,etc. Quote

Holy cats! I've yet to be disappointed with any of their stuff I've picked up. I've also noticed Storyville is still bringing more stuff. Maybe time to raid the Circuit City again and hope they still have the $5 booster cards. Edited June 25, 2008 by Captain Wrong Quote
.:.impossible Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 After seeing Billy Hart Quartet on some best of year lists I grabbed it and have enjoyed it. Dennis Gonzalez' name drew me in to Alvin Fielder Trio - A Measure of Vision and it was worth it. Lyrical and evocative. Rudresh Mahanthappa - Codebook impressed on first listen, a quartet with Vijay Iyer. They continue to add items on the Ayler Records label and William Parker - And William Danced and Exploding Customer Live at the Glenn Miller Cafe are both excellent. That Fielder Trio album misses for me. I'll give it another go. I really enjoyed Alvin Fielder live. Quote

ejp626 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 David Sanchez - Cultural Survival is worth checking out Quote
Dave James Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 I have the 90 downloads a month package, so I like to take some chances. Sometimes they work out, sometimes, they don't. One that did is by trumpeter Anders Bergcrantz called About Time. Up over and out. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 I have that same package, 90. I have been selecting albums featuring Ellington, Monk or Mingus in the titles (by others). Mostly pays off in dividends. Quote
mjzee Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 I bought 2 Circuit City booster packs: Art Pepper - The Complete Village Vanguard Sessions Duke Ellington - Fargo 1940 Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington - The Stockholm Concert 1966 Jim Hall - Jazzpar Quartet + 4 Quote
Dave James Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 The Trio, Volumes 1-3 featuring Cedar Walton are now available. Obviously, I never paid Walton the attention he was due. These are all rock solid. Up over and out. Quote

randyhersom Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I've got a new one called The Geri Allen Trio that allmusic.com lists as Some Aspects of Water. Very fine. It's live and Johnny Coles is introduced as the guest on a top notch ballad. There are more tracks with a larger group a nonet featuring Scandanavian sounding names. On Storyville and I finally figured out that it's Palle Danielson and Lenny White on the trio tracks. (ECM meets CTI!) Quote

randyhersom Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Huge Acrobat Music Ltd. catalog just dropped on eMusic today with 29 different Louis Armstrong offerings. 10 Volumes of Classic Song Book, 10 volumes of A Life in Music and assorted offerings including 2 with the Mills Brothers. I had been looking for the song My Walking Stick in any version for some time, so I'm grabbing A Night with the Mills Brothers first. I'd be interested to know more about the rest. Some other artists with two or more Acrobat Music Ltd. CDs listed include Coleman Hawkins, Albert Ammons, Mary Lou Williams, Mildred Bailey, Jimmie Lunceford, Charlie Barnet and Ben Webster. Quote

Can't wait to catch them live at some point but it seems they play London exclusively. If you like noise and drone/doom you should definately check out the Shit And Shine record, one of my favourite British bands of recent times. Full out agression and groove. Quote
BFrank Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Interesting ... the ELP catalog was added yesterday - on the Shout! Factory label. Quote
