brownie Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 The box is out. And it is good. Of course, some of the sessions are not complete but since I am slim on pre-1956 Tubbys, there is a wealth of material on those 4 discs that makes this very worthwhile. Plus that previously unissued January 1955 session. Keeping the set for weekend enjoyment! Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 just for grins and winces you might find some a nice appetizer here @ AAJ. seems the "british re-issue" society got a bit de-railed so they formed up a new thread to broom the shells off the pub floor. Quote

Big Beat Steve Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Yeah, that post sure is quite enlightening .... But beyond all the personal quabbles that went on there the reissue and marketing policy behind those Proper boxes makes me wonder ... Somehow some of what I'm seeing released on Proper reminds me of some of the discussions on this forum re- certain other European labels. Some of the points have been mentioned on that other post, but just take this: http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/...g+1932-1937.htm And now consider the fact that in 2003 a Milton Brown box set (minus most of the Derwood Brown tracks) appeared on Proper. Coincidence? Or do I hear somebody say that this reeks a bit like that case of the Bird and Diz Town Hall 1945 concert recordings on Uptown that suddenly were all over the place on other labels? Please note that I do not have any objections to the 50-year P.D. limit that makes these projects perfectly legal (on the contrary, and even the 70-year U.S. limit would no longer apply in this particular case) yet I feel kind of sorry for the Texas Rose label (a FANTASTIC reissue label that was the first to bring MANY gems from that period back). Small print notwithstanding, I just wonder how much real NEW remastering FROM SCRATCH (literally... ) went into this U.K. box. And would they have done it if no Texas Rose box had been there in the first place? I can only hope so but it all looks funny ... Edited February 8, 2007 by Big Beat Steve Quote
