J.A.W. Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) There's two labels that I think are being confused here. There is Document and (this Teddy Wilson issue) Documents. You're right, I was talking about Document (singular). Don't know anything about Documents (plural). Edited February 15, 2007 by J.A.W.

Chuck Nessa Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 From the incomplete listing on Amazon (disc 10 is ignored), disc 2 through disc 9 track 12 are the complete master takes from Nov 22, 1935 through Sept 16, 1941. Disc one and the rest of the disc 9 tracks are Musicraft titles from 1944 and 1945. The Musicrafts seem to be incomplete and out of order. I can only hope the listing is in error.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 There's two labels that I think are being confused here. There is Document and (this Teddy Wilson issue) Documents. You're right, I was talking about Document (singular). Don't know anything about Documents (plural). Document (singular) is the Scottish/Austrian label that specialises in issuing stuff like the 1920s singing preachers albums I've been buying lately, and gospel singers and bluesmen from the same period. I agree that on many of the tracks the sound is awful - but it's simply amazing that this stuff can be found in any condition whatsoever. If, as someone said, Documents (plural) is another Membran label, well the sound on the 5 Membran issues I've got is OK for me. And the tune selection is good enough for exploring someone's work at random. But as boxes, they are a long way from what I think I want with Wilson. So, I'm Hep Thanks to everyone for the advice.

mikeweil Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Just ordered a copy for € 19,99 plus postage - always wanted to have all of them! Sorry. Never mind - I'm not that picky about the way vintage recordings sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 p.s. I'd go for the HEP but don't want to spend that much right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I wish someone would issue the '30/'40 material without the Holiday material - I already have that stuff about 4 ways. English and Canadian CBS issued a fine 2 lp set (copied but adapted by US Columbia) of some of the rest called Teddy Wilson & His All-Stars. Great stuff. I found a used copy of that years ago. It's still one of my favorite vinyls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 CBS France issued a 3 LP box of Teddy Wilson's solo Columbia & Brunswick sides (1934-1941) back in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 CBS France issued a 3 LP box of Teddy Wilson's solo Columbia & Brunswick sides (1934-1941) back in the 80's. That was another essential job from Henri Renaud. The box has all the Brunswick-Columbia solos and the April 1941 trio sessions with Al Hall and J.C. Heard. The box included reminiscences by John Hammond. Frank Abbey did the mastering. The 3 LP material was reissued on a double CD a long time ago by CBS France in its Jazzotheque series.

tatifan Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Emusic has a few Hep volumes up now, so if you are so inclined, you could dl only the solo tracks. I hope they add the whole series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
