A reissue in the late 60s came out as two LPs: PR7585 & 7612. The pair included material from the same sessions as 7133 plus material from Jan, Feb and Aug 1951. Tracks on 7133 were 1 Avalon 2 Mean to Me 3 Stairway to the Stars 4 Count Every Star 5 Nice Work If You Can Get It 6 There Will Never Be Another You 7 Blazin' 8 After You've Gone 9 Our Very Own 10 'S Wonderful 11 Jeepers Creepers 12 Nevertheless On 7585 1 Mean to Me 2 Later 3 Ain't Misbehavin' 4 Avalon 5 Stairway to the Stars 6 Count Every Star 7 Nice Work If You Can Get It 8 There Will Never Be Another You 9 Blazin' 10 After You've Gone 11 Our Very Own 12 To Think You've Chosen Me 13 'S Wonderful 14 Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away) 15 Can't We Be Friends?

Some of this material is available on CD already. I'm not sure if the double LP represents the entirety of the sessions from which it was drawn.

robviti Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 tsk, tsk. think nothing of it. btw, the concord/fantasy box set will be 3 cds. stitt recorded a lot more music for prestige in the late 40s-early 50s, so obviously there's more material on it than those 40 tracks.

Chuck Nessa Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 If I understand correctly this is all material from the 78 format. I have not done a track comparison but most (if not all) of the material is available on "First Sessions Vol 2", "Kaleidoscope" and however they currently title the Stitt/Bud Powell/ JJ Johnson disc. Any number of the Ammons/Stitt titles of the era could be included. If my understanding of the project is correct, I dearly hope they made new transfers from "original sources" instead of "tuning up" old reissues.

tranemonk Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 looks like an excellent set to me... as I don't have any of those previous releases.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yes, if you don't have the material buy the set. If it is "really" remastered, I will too. Fine stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
