The Hutch is my favorite of this batch. I like them both much more than I thought I would. This is not my favorite period for either artist but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised.

I've been keeping up with the Select series. I use it for the exposure to artists (or artists' material) that I wouldn't ordinarily consider. Sort of a way to stretch beyond basic BN & OJC.

This was a good batch. I would recommend both.

I'll be getting the Hutch but the single disc Asante by Tyner didn't work for me, the bonus tracks on that disc were much better than the worldy music stew of the bulk of the tracks.

I've had the Hutch lps for years and have always enjoyed this music quite a bit. Hearing it all on CD (versus those lousy 70s BN lps) is a real treat! This is very nice music, great vibe!

were 70's Blue Note vinyls that bad?

Erratic might be a better term. I've had some that sounded good, but many had way too many pops and clicks right out of the shrinkwrap.

BTW, there is an Eddie Marshall CD called Dance of the Sun on Timeless from 77 that features the basic group as on many of the Select sessions (Hutch, Leary, Boyd).

I see the board member "currently known as donald petersen" ;) has a copy for sale - it is definitely worth getting if you like the Select.

so how are people liking the select?

i have "waiting" on vinyl and really like it. i also have "cirrus" and i like it a lot. i also have "knucklebean" and don't care for it. where do the other sessions lie compared to these albums? better? worse? thank you.

i was surprised to see on the aaj board discussion about the box, the main hutcherson fan thought "waiting" was the weakest set on the disc. maybe i need to reevaluate my thoughts...

Did they get Booby's name correct on the box?

:g

Yes they did , but is everyone's box kinda printed badly the blacks are gray or did they do

this on purpose like a ghosted effect ?.

the booklet cover and the insets are printed with rich blacks ....i wonder if Mosaic is trying to curb cost?

Just spinning the LP for 'Waiting' and side 1 is an absolute corker, a real groover. The second side is not quite so strong but overall a definite :tup . George Cables was definitely on form for this date !
