jazzbo Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Fifty years! How many "units" do you think have sold? Quote
Aggie87 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I guess it's now in the public domain in Europe too. Wonder how quickly there will be non-authorized editions on the market. Quote

king ubu Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 JazzTrack: http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/catalogue...mp;label_id=180 JazzBeat: http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/catalogue...mp;label_id=159 It's sad that they get away with that, but one party that is to blame big time are the retailers. If they keep buying and selling all that stuff while not having the original editions in their shops, how should the customers know? One example: the woman whom I consider the most knowledgeable person jazz-wise in town, she ordered Nat Cole's "After Midnight" sessions for a friend, and he ended up with this pirate version, which they've also had in their stock before, while the EMI/Capitol disc is still around - and in fact turned up multiple times in a Blue Note/Capitol sale that started a month later at the very same store...)

Unlimited edition with an unlimited supply? Goodbyye E - M - I !! (whatever heppened to rebellion...*sigh*) Quote
king ubu Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Well, EMI yurp freaked up big time with their copycrap discs, too... no wonder it's all in such a sorry state if everybody's clueless... they rather keep producing new "musicstars", it seems! Yuck! Quote

The 2 Ellingtons aren't actually "straight re-issues". A Drum is a Woman has never been released as a cd by Sony in the US and the Jazztrack edition includes one extra cut that was never on the original Lp. The "Indigos" is titled "The Complete Ellington Indigos" and as someone else on this board said, Sony should have done it themselves. Quote

Yes, those were bad examples I confess, but these may be the reissues best known from these otherwise pretty useless label(s). Quote
Pistol Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Repackaging repackaging of the same thing over and over. My copy is just fine. Quote
AllenLowe Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 actually I'm starting two labels to reissue the reissues: Fresher Sound and Molehill Quote
Soulstation1 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Anyone pick up Bass Player mag? It has Mr PC on the cover Quote
