Big Al Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Since the Verve website is useless (and BTW, if anyone can find any contact info on that site, please direct me to it), I've put together what I think is the complete list of CDs in the Verve Originals series. Thanks to king ubu for directing me to past discussion threads about this subject. If you see any errors, PLEASE feel free to let me know.

GA Russell Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Thanks Al! I didn't realize there were so many. Are they remastered? The two that I have don't indicate that they are. Quote
GA Russell Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Are they remastered? The two that I have don't indicate that they are. I take it back. I can see under the disc tray that both were "Mastered by Ellen Fitton at Universal Mastering Studios-East". Quote
Jimmer Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Thanks for putting this list together! Quote
Swinging Swede Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 There are at least two more: March 18, 2008 Louis Armstrong - New Orleans Nights October 21, 2008 Jimmy Smith - Hobo Flats Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Where's Kenyon Hopkins? Where's Chaino? Quote
ejp626 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) There are at least two more: March 18, 2008 Louis Armstrong - New Orleans Nights October 21, 2008 Jimmy Smith - Hobo Flats How's the Armstrong? We might need an occasional reminder that some of these are still available elsewhere (I know I don't always check in time ). For instance Dizzy Cool World and Dizzy Goes Hollywood are both on the recent Mosaic box set, and Hobo Flats is on the Nelson Mosaic set. (I'm pretty sure Hobo Flats is one where the entire album shows up and not halfsies.) Edited October 18, 2008 by ejp626 Quote
JETman Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Dizzy's "Cool World" and "Goes to Hollywood" were out on 1 cd back in the 90s. All tunes from "Hobo Flats" are on the Nelson Mosaic. Btw, the only place I see "Hobo Flats" listed is on Amazon. I can't seem to find it on CD Universe's site. Quote

The Armstrong is very fine, the original incarnation of the All Stars with Earl Hines and Teagarden. All the music is, I believe, on the oop Mosaic set. Quote
AndrewHill Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Thanks for the list Big Al. I had no idea how fast this reissue program is churning out cd's. Its a good sign that there are still buyers of cds out there....like myself Quote
Big Al Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Posted October 20, 2008 And there's quite a few that can be found at Circuit City. These were at the Arlington Circuit City: The Jazz Crusaders - Old Socks, New Shoes...New Socks, Old Shoes (well, not anymore since I bought it!) Grover Washington Jr. - Inner City Blues Ramsey Lewis Trio - Live at the Bohemian Caverns in Washington D.C. Norman Brown - Just Between Us Walter Beasley Will Downing - A Dream Fulfilled Dr. John - City Lights Ramsey Lewis - Goin' Latin Stan Getz - Sweet Rain George Duke - Feel George Benson - Tell It Like It Is* Grover Washington, Jr. - Soul Box* *These technically aren't out until 10/21, I don't know what kind of deal CC struck, but there you go. Not the strongest list by any stretch, but I like it that CC even has ANY of these. Quote

Not the strongest list by any stretch, but I like it that CC even has ANY of these. Probably more than what Borders has in stock True statement. IIRC, the only ones the Borders in Arlington has are some of the Astrud Gilberto titles. Maybe a few Stan Getz bossa nova titles and the requisite Trane titles, but that's about it. Quote
Big Al Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Posted October 20, 2008 Btw, the only place I see "Hobo Flats" listed is on Amazon. I can't seem to find it on CD Universe's site. Same thing for Roy Ayers Ubiquity Vibrations Quote

CJ Shearn Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 thanks for the tip. I picked up Soul Box from my CC tonight. They have 1 copy of "Inner City Blues" but they couldn't find it. WTF is with the Walter Beasley and Norman Brown shit tho? Quote

I just looked for an older thread listing the LPRs. Now my question is: is there something missing from the following list? Something between LPRs and Originals (or in Europe: between jewel case Originals and digipack Originals)? No, I think you covered it all. I never knew that the VO was the successor to the LPR, but I can see how that would be assumed. I believe there were some titles that were issued between the LPRs and the VOs that, although they weren't classified as any kind of "series," seem to be a link between the two. There were three that were released in January 2006: Herb Ellis' Ellis in Wonderland, Howard Roberts' Good Pickin's, and Jimmy Raney featuring Bob Brookmeyer. I only have the Ellis, and I'll look on the jewel case when I get home to see if it mentions any kind of "series" on it. Quote

I have the Ellis and the Raney... those are indeed "Originals" (of the jewel case variant - identical packing as the Ayler/Barbieri/Nelson etc batch) over here in Europe. So there are still some things missing... and of course many I'd like to have are still missing from my collection! Quote

Interesting, because here in the States that batch is still LPR (I've got the Szabo, and I've seen the Lateef). I do remember some other titles being released between the end of the LPR and the beginning of the VO here in the States. I'll see if I can't track those down at some point. Quote
king ubu Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Added the guitars batch (there was also an Eddie Fisher disc in that batch it seems), plus that Jimmy Smith. Is there anything else that's missing between the LPRs and the Originals? Please help if you can! Quote
Big Al Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Posted October 24, 2008 Yeah, wasn't there a whole slew of Nina Simone releases right before the guitar discs? I also remember Bluesmith being slated for release, but I never saw it. Just as well, I s'pose; it isn't that great. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 I don't think the Simone were "Originals." Maybe. Quote
Big Al Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Posted October 24, 2008 Yeah, I'm not sure either since I didn't get any of them. I did see them at Forever Young, and IIRC they had the same kind of blue side-spine as the "guitars" discs. Maybe worth another trip to FY at lunch to see if they still have them and if they are marked that way. Quote
