Albums include The Complete Africa/Brass Sessions, Live at the Village Vanguard, Coltrane, Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, Ballads, and a Limited Edition slip-cased Box set that houses all of these 5 Impulse reissues.

paul secor Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 Query: How many times can we sell the same stuff? Answer: As many times as the suckers will buy it. It's cheaper and easier to market than newly recorded music is. Quote

Claude Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 This looks like a clueless marketing section, since the albums have already been reissued "restored and remastered and in digipak packaging", and those reissues are still available. What is there to make these reissues more interesting? The logical risk-free step would have been to start an "Impulse! RVG" series remastered by Rudy. Quote
Matthew Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 Good, when people unload their old 20-bit copies that I don't have, I'll pick them up cheap. To my ears, they sound great. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 Fuck Universal/Verve/Impulse. More wasteful than RVG'ing a Conn of three years ago. Quote

AndrewHill Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 What is there to make these reissues more interesting? This time, they'll have the Impulse logo on the front. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 A friend of mine - so he says - was going through a collection coming into the record store. In the gatefold to a Yusef Lateef Impulse LP were a few buds, apparently still smokeable... Quote
felser Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 Out today, five CD set listing for $49.98. I can't find a track listing on any of my usual sites. Anyone know what's on this one? And what the plans are on vol.2, etc.? Quote
couw Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 Disc: 1 1. Africa 2. Greensleeves 3. Blues Minor Disc: 2 1. Spiritual 2. Softly As In A Morning Sunrise 3. Chasin' The Trane Disc: 3 1. Out Of This World 2. Soul Eyes 3. Inch Worm 4. Tunji 5. Miles' Mode Disc: 4 1. In A Sentimental Mood 2. Take The Coltrane 3. Big Nick 4. Stevie 5. My Little Brown Book 6. Angelica 7. Feeling Of Jazz Disc: 5 1. Say It (Over And Over Again) 2. You Don't Know What Love Is 3. Too Young To Go Steady 4. All Or Nothing At All 5. I Wish I Knew 6. What's New 7. It's Easy To Remember 8. Nancy (With The Laughing Face) So that's the originally issued albums "Africa/Brass", "Live at the Village Vanguard", "Coltrane", "Duke Ellington and John Coltrane" and "Ballads". Beats me why this needs to be reissued as these are still easily available with substantial extra material added. Quote

Aggie87 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) I also started a thread about it here on this board. Edited October 30, 2007 by Aggie87 Quote

Aggie87 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 ... from MusicTap: "Verve Records will continue their collection of John Coltrane music with The Impulse! Albums: Volume Two. This will release on April 8." Don't know what's in this batch yet, but these still seem underwhelming to me - given the lack of any bonus material that is readily available on the previous issues.

AndrewHill Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Are there any pics of what the actual packaging looks like? I mean, are the new cd sleeves any different from the old digipacks? Quote
jazzbo Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 yes, they have a border on the left, just a 3/8" or so, and are actually in my opinion glossier and a better cover image. Inside they have the center gatefold images. Quote
