AllenLowe Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) well, I'm about 2 months ahead on my re-mastering so will begin to show my head here again - because of the potential change in Euro laws, the record company wants to get this thing out by Fall - I think it's actually the most interesting project I've done - will probably be able to post a final list within about 2 weeks - about 1000 cuts, 36 cds total - have to finish the notes, which will be relatively brief (as in relatively short notations per song) - thanks to everyone who has assisted with info and other assorted help (Weizen, I had to send those two hookers home, but thanks anyway) - it's amazing what one semi-offhand remark will do to a guy with ADD - but it only cost me about one year of my life - ny favorite discovery: blues recorded as the soundtrack to an old Bridgette Bardot movie - Edited June 16, 2009 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (Weizen, I had to send those two hookers home, but thanks anyway) - Yeah, I know.....I was reviewing the surveillance footage and saw you lead them out the front door. How ever did you manage to disarm them and slip the handcuffs on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) Dan - I don't have them in front of me now, but I believe the Baby Face is from after 1959 - the record company has ordered me, unfortunately, to stop at 1959 (complicated reasons) - it's killing me because there's a bunch of 1960 stuff I wanted to use, including Max Roach/Abbey Lincoln, Jaki Byard, the Wailers, Gunther Schuller - the good news, organ-wise, is that I have some Jimmy Smith (a Percy France cut, so I am very happy), and a Jack McDuff/Willis Jackson - but nothing's as good as the Brigitte Bardot (I think I spelled it right this time) - of course, that may also be good news, organ-wise - Edited June 16, 2009 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Dan - I don't have them in front of me now, but I believe the Baby Face is from after 1959 - the record company has ordered me, unfortunately, to stop at 1959 I'm having a hard time finding a source but I am almost certain that I have been told that those 45s were recorded pre-1959. I'll keep looking - Blindman's Blues Forum search function isn't helping right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 let me know - I'll also do a little research - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 This page indicates that the 45 I have, Vee Jay 176 - "Can't Keep From Loving You"/"Why - was recorded in 1956. This page confirms. The other 45 that I only have as a third generation recording - reel ->cassette->CDR was on Hollywood Records and while this page doesn't have dates, its believed that his recording for them pre-dated his Vee Jay recording. I don't think there's any doubt these fit your label's requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Was the Solal help of any use, will any of it be included? And did you ever get to the second "package"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 And now I have evidence on the Hollywood Records 45: This page states it was recorded in 1952. Ball's in your court, Allen! Independent of sonic qualities, I'd want to use the Hollywood tune "Wake Up Get Out", followed by "Why" from Vee Jay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 1) thanks Dan - that's very good news, especially the early dates - I will go back to the email you sent me with the attachments and let you know if I have any problems - 2) Ubu - I ended up going with a Hodeir/Kenny Clarke piece, the Squirrel from, I think, 1956, that has a great Solal solo on it (say that fast) - apologies, I know you went out of your way, thanks; the nice thing about the Squirrel is that I was able to have one cut with both Hodeir and Solal, saving me some precious space (you would think 36 CDs is enough; I could use about another 5). The Solal solo, by the way, in 1956, reminds me of Paul Bley about 10 years later. also, btw - I know you probably don't believe me, but I will get finished dubbing that Helen Merrill LP soon - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 but nothing's as good as the Brigitte Bardot (I think I spelled it right this time) - of course, that may also be good news, organ-wise - Allen remains at the top of his game.

Still glad to have been of possible help! And there's always more stuff around then I can actually play - I'll come to the Merrill whenever it'll be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 the good news, organ-wise, is that I have some Jimmy Smith (a Percy France cut, so I am very happy) that session crosses the 50 year line today, actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) the cd says 1959 - is this incorrect? Edited June 16, 2009 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 the cd says 1959 - is this incorrect? at least that's not what i was trying to say, had just read earlier today that it ws recorded June 16, 1959 and thought i'd mention it...

AllenLowe Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 in that case it's ok - apparently, from what I've been told, even if the copyright law is changed, 1959 will be ok - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy T. Frog Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 in that case it's ok - apparently, from what I've been told, even if the copyright law is changed, 1959 will be ok - I can't wait for this. That Devilin' Tune had so many revelations for me, especially the first volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
