Why did it get recalled?

[robviti]

looks like the live recordings that originally came out on concord, i.e., keystone korner (1978), mikell's (1984), etc. here's a link to hear sound clips: barnesnoble

I think you're right - thanks!

I saw it for £3 today in my local shop and I listened to a few tunes. I really enjoyed the tracks I listened and the version of 'A la mode'. I didn't buy it for £3 but it is a good deal.

is Recall a British affiliated Concord label? there was a Jack McDuff compilation on there also.

Recall pulls things in from all sorts of sources. I've just found their jazz list at Crazy Jazz -I'll post it. It includes the Blakey - duh - should have looked there first, but this is an elusive label more associated with other genres and it never ocurred to me they would have a listing! The only Recall I own is Soft Machine, Kings of Canterbury. Poor sound, very short measure, outstanding music. These things can be worth a punt but if the Blakey sound had been as bad as the Soft Machine I doubt it would have been worth it. These *can* turn up cheap and the Crazy Jazz price is pretty much a maximum.

Here's the list from Crazy Jazz, for interest.

[CJ Shearn]

wow. Disconforme anyone?

[king ubu]

I think these Snapper 2CD sets are legit, some kind license deal, not a rip-off.

I have that Mel Tormé and it's great, just about as much late/Concord Tormé as I need (I love his early stuff on Bethlehem and Verve)!

[Claude]

wow. Disconforme anyone?

I don't think they would mention the producer and engineer in the booklet if it was an illegal rip-off CD (see the Barnes & Nobles page). And why would they copy mainly Concord stuff?

Snapper is a seemingly legit British label, have a lot of pretty wonderful rock sets out, including the complete Fleetwood Mac live at the Boston Tea Party on 3 CD's - the best example to be heard of the Peter Green/Danny Kirwan guitar magic. Recall is a budget label, great prices, I've always thought their mastering sounded very good, but they never give sufficient documentation of the source of the music, always a frustration.

[CJ Shearn]

ahh I never knew that this was a legit label, thanks for the info
