neveronfriday Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Thanks Hans! Time to jump on the Lee/Christy and the Reece, I guess. Edit: Just did ... Edited November 10, 2009 by neveronfriday Quote
sal Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 That Dizzy Reece set is excellent all around. Don't miss it. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Indeed. I have all the Reece BN material on LP or CD, but there's nary a clink in the bunch. The Lee/Christy I def need to pick up. Payday's Friday! Quote
mellowT Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Did this set bypass Running Low status altogether, or am I imagining things? Quote
king ubu Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 No, it went straight to last chance - I just ordered one. You know, this is funny... my first post ever, back on the old BNBB, was about the Reece select... Mosaic spread the news that they would start release these smaller 3CD sets, and I sent them a mail suggesting a Reece Blue Note Select. So they answered something along the lines "yes, that might be a possibility", and a while later, there it was... of course I wouldn't consider my mail having had any influence, but I really want to buy this one, finally, although I've got all but "Soundin' Off" on single discs by now. Has "Soundin' Off" been reissued as RVG or not? Quote
CSB046 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 "Soundin' Off" is the only material I'm missing as well. I just can't afford the cost of the import right now, much as I think I'd like it. And, since I have the rest of the material, I can't justify buying the Mosaic either. Hopefully I'll run across a new copy of the CD at a decent price one of these days. For anyone who does not own a lot of Reece's stuff, the Mosaic is definitely a recommended purchase. Good stuff!

colinmce Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Ha, I'm prescient! I ordered this a couple months back knowing this might happen. Same w/ the Mobley, I have a feeling that one might disappear from right beneath our feet. Quote
sidewinder Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Just placed an order for the Reece - I thought I already had it, but apparently not. I was getting it confused with the Carmell Jones ! Quote
king ubu Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 No There is a JRVG. Thanks! I thought it might have turned up in the meantime... another one that could be used if BN were to do further batches of RVGs or any other straight reissues. Quote

There's a UK export ban on it (although maybe we could do an exchange deal for a wagon full of Toblerone or Lindt Milka) Edited November 12, 2009 by sidewinder Quote

In fact the most recent version of this title (TOCJ 8585) seems to be not so expensive, and recently released so easy to find. I've only heard the JRVG so I can't vouch for it or indeed for any of these TOCJ 8000 series. Has anyone bought any of these?

king ubu Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 Well, thanks to the big crooks in our western economies and governing bodies, the $ and hence the Mosaic is also quite cheap Quote

Thanks for the comment. I went back and looked around, and there do indeed seem to be copies that are considerably cheaper than the last time I looked. I'll have to pick one up! Quote

Edited to add link to full list of available TOCJ in release order on hmv.co.jp. Others may find this interesting. A Japanese contact told me that the TOCJ-8XXX series uses the same 24-bit masterings as the TOCJ-6XXX series from the early 2000s, but don't take my word for it. I bought and subsequently sold many of those TOCJ-6XXX CDs; they sounded harsh and very loud to me, with reduced dynamics. Quote
David Ayers Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 I can get on with the 6000s if only because I want the titles! You're right that they are loud, maybe no more than the typical (J)RVG and certainly not as uneven from title to title as those turned out to be. The JRVG of Soundin' Off is one of the later and better ones, I feel, but again I am probably influenced by the fact it is the only source I have for that music. Quote
king ubu Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 crap - they feghed up and sent me the Witherspoon single instead of the Reece select!!! Seems the Reece is now gone... I just ordered another one somewhere else - fegh fegh fegh!!!! Quote
king ubu Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 Ok, big relief, my amazon.fr (final copy!) order is beyond "change order", it's already being processed! I guess I'll just have Mosaic send me another Select instead... and of course I'll pay for the Witherspoon, although it was only on my "possibly buy" list... Quote

I just ordered another one somewhere else - fegh fegh fegh!!!! Yikes ! Seems that someone at Mosaic was thinking about 'Reece Witherspoon' instead of 'Reese Wetherspoon' (sorry ubu, couldn't resist ). The Dizzy Reece Mosaic Select sounds great, by the way ! And may I recommend the Tony Williams as an alternate, if you don't already have it? Edited December 1, 2009 by sidewinder Quote
