Jazzsphere2005 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I am thinking of getting this ($240 with P&P) on ebay, anyone heard these remastered versions contained in the box. This was a limited Edition in Japan in 2006, seller is based in China so possibly counterfeit (unlikely)? Any advice from the group? Has anyone heard a copy already?

Claude Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I haven't heard the box set, but if the K2 remastering is the same as the one made for the individual K2 reissues (US or japan releases), then I can recommend it I have heard these K2 titles and they all sound very good, better than the OJC CDs: - Coltrane - Stardust - All mornin' long (Red Garland) - Soul Junction (Red Garland) - Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkertown Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 What's different on this set versus the 16 cd domestic boxed set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkertown Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Oh wait, I see it has the Miles Davis led sessions added. Sweeeeeet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzsphere2005 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Bit of a late update - have listened to all 18 discs in the set now and the sound is great. The music ranges from good to fantastic of course. Verg glad I bought it. Edited May 28, 2008 by Jazzsphere2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought for a box set that came out in 1991, the sound on the U.S. domestic version of the box was not shabby at all. Glad I got it for cheap in the Great Concord Blowout Sale of 2006.

jazzbo Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I have to agree, I like the sound of the box set, and haven't really done much upgrading of these titles over the years. Of course I saved up months and paid a pretty penny for my set in the early 'nineties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcy62 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Same here, since I bought the set, (at full price ) I was satisfied with sound, though I bought most of the original vinyls since then...and I am even more satisfied. I admit that I have some of those 2K cds, not Coltrane, and they sound very good, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Wood Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 No. Buy Interplay instead. A third box is supposed to be released this year, thus completing the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've always been more than happy with the old OJC and U.S. box sets. No Ron McMaster, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
