monkboughtlunch Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Anybody have this one? How's the music on this one? I'm not familiar with Earland... Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) 5 star Soul Jazz i'm spinning it right now Emusic Pimpin' Edited September 19, 2006 by Soulstation1 Quote
monkboughtlunch Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Posted September 19, 2006 5 stars eh? So this is a stone cold classic? Quote
Soul Stream Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Yeah, it's one of the top 10 classic jazz organ lps...no doubt. I love the new RVG...brings out a lot in the organ that went unheard on the previous old issue CD. Quote
felser Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Yeah, it's one of the top 10 classic jazz organ lps.... I think even that underrates it. I've always considered it the greatest jazz organ LP ever. Earland was my favorite, and this is his masterpiece, especially the second side with 'Aquarius' and 'More Today Than Yesterday'. If it can't make you smile, nothing can. Quote
BFrank Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Yeah, it's one of the top 10 classic jazz organ lps.... ... , especially the second side with 'Aquarius' and 'More Today Than Yesterday'. He had an uncanny way of making tunes that were otherwise hokey/commersh sound really good. These 2 in particular are definitely worth the "price of admission". Quote
mr jazz Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 "Intensity" another must have Earland. Lee Morgan's last session. Quote
DMP Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 "Aquarius," "More Today..." - and the title track - the Beatles in disguise. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 I was gonna post a thread about this new RVG CD Here Comes Charlie could be my fav song i've been spinning this cd A LOT!!!!! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 It's such a well balanced album. All kinds of different tempos and material. And yet it all works so well together. Apparently, it only cost about $2,500 to produce! MG Quote
king ubu Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 Anyone else has the RVG reissue of this with totally feghed up booklet? There's half a page of repeated text in the new liners and the ending is cut off, so I don't even know who wrote them, in addition to not being able to finish reading them (not that they are particularly enlightening, but hey, I paid for a CD, not for some lousy MP3 with no cover to be expected). Anyone has an idea what to do to get a good booklet? Quote

Lay it on thick about how extremely disapointed you are and how badly it reflects on the company and devalues what should be a perfect representation of this classic music. Use several pages, if possible. MG Quote

Because of being pissed about this lacking booklet I completely forgot to say how much I begin to enjoy the music! At first it was not convincing me entirely, and I am still no big fan of Houston Person, but Melvin Sparks and Virgil Jones are terrific, and so is the mighty burner himself! Quote
Cliff Englewood Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 Not only is the Booklet on "Black Talk" messed up, it's also messed up in the exact same manner on "Tenor Madness", some stuff printed twice and the last bit missing. I DID write to Concord pointing this out and looking for replacement booklets as I purchased both, I even included the receipt, and have heard nothing back after over a month. Quote
king ubu Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 Sucks! I just heard from a friend in Scandinavia that he's got the same faulty Earland booklet. Fegh em big time! Sloppy lazy asses! (Just like me, but I don't sell nothing...) Quote
etherbored Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 i LOVE trane's new avatar... (i actually own that record) , -e- Quote
king ubu Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Does anyone over here in Europe have "Black Talk" with a correct booklet? (not bought from the US, of course!) Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 My copy is the double CD issued by Ace a long time ago - "Black talk/Black drops". I can send you a scan of the "Black talk" half if you like. That's a bit small, though, I think. I can also do you a scan of the LP notes (the same), which should be easier to read, and you can make it as small as you like. If either of these is any good, PM me and I'll get one to you. MG Quote
king ubu Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Thanks for your offer, but the original notes are fine in that booklet, it's just the new ones that have that stupid mistake. I guess they fired the proofreader... Quote

I guess they fired the proofreader... Oh, they got someone to write new notes, like on the Blue Notes? I didn't know they were doing that. MG Quote
king ubu Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Yup, they also stole the BN layout - mainly visible on the traycards, but in the fonts, too, and also the old liners are black print on white (again with the BN RVG layout), while the new ones are white print on black... no Wolff photos, alas, and no photos at all, even though I assume on many a session someone - Esmond Edwards, Don Schlitten, or some pros - would have photographed the proceedings. Anyway, these Concord/Fantasy RVGs are a quality product, even worse they can't check the booklets before going to print! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 So, is the US version misprinted, or is it just the European version? Anyone have a US copy? MG Quote
