Head Man Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Listening to the new Bobby Hutcherson Mosaic Select has reminded me just how good his music is, so I have decided to try and replace a couple of his CDs - 'Stick-Up' & 'Natural Illusions' - which I have on the Applause label. Apart from the very poor liner notes the sound on these two CDs is also poor. I know that 'Stick-up' is widely available as a Connoisseur but I can't seem to find any other version of 'Natural Illusions' other than the one I already have. Does anyone know whether 'Natural Illusions' has ever been released on CD by Blue Note or whether there are any plans to do so?

sidewinder Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) I've never heard of any other version of 'Natural Illusions' other than the Applause LP and CD, compared with the original vinyl release. Those Applause issues were the all time pits as far as Blue Note reissues were concerned. In the dark ages before Conns and RVGs they would regularly turn up for 50 cents or so in five and dime stores. Usually avoided them. Nice though if you were into dung brown Reid Miles cover art. Indeed they were so bad that one day they will probably be collectable ! Edited February 7, 2007 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 "Natural Illusions" might have been the low point of Hutcherson's Blue Note tenure. Bring on "Highway One!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
