king ubu Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Well, we don't even know of a release date yet ... but I guess amazon.fr might have the best prices again, as they usually do on these. The first ones start showing up, with cover pics too, but no dates or prices yet:http://www.amazon.fr/Cpte-Black-Saint-Soul-Records/dp/B011MICIHG/http://www.amazon.fr/Black-Saint-Soul-Note-Records/dp/B011MICBTQ/Thought last time I looked some had prices allotted, but not now.

alankin Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Amazon UK has the second "Complete Columbia Albums" set of Duke Ellington releases '59 to '61 for about 52 bucks shipped, ten discs. No other information on this other than it is released in six days.The Ellington albums from that period that I'm aware of are:1959Jazz Party (Columbia)Anatomy of a Murder (Columbia – soundtrack album)Festival Session (Columbia)Blues in Orbit (Columbia)1960Three Suites   The Nutcracker Suite (Columbia)    Swinging Suites by Edward E. and Edward G. (aka Peer Gynt Suite/Suite Thursday) Piano in the Background (Columbia)Unknown Session (Columbia, released 1979)1961Piano in the Foreground (Columbia)First Time! The Count Meets the Duke - with Count Basie (Columbia)The Girl's Suite & The Perfume Suite (Columbia) I have all except for Jazz Party (have a digital version) and The Girl's Suite & The Perfume Suite.  Has the latter title ever been released on CD?  All the other titles have been.

felser Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Generally, the prices come down quite a bit on those Columbia sets a few months after they are released, so patience pays on them. Quote

It was one of those "'Jazz Originals' : Henri Renaud" releases. Quote

I went for it. . . some of these could stand to be remastered and probably will be in this box. Quote
king ubu Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 two more coming up there:Â Art Blakey - Complete Columbia/RCA Albums:http://www.amazon.de/Art-Blakey-Complete-Columbia-Victor/dp/B00YY03SJ2/Â Thelonious Monk - Complete Columbia Live Albums:http://www.amazon.de/Complete-Columbia-Live-Albums-Collection/dp/B00YY03S10/Â The Ellington goes for the same price there as the Monk (all three are interlinked/auto-recommended), that's how I found them, no idea if there will be more ...

Chuck Nessa Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Ellington ordered. Thanks Lon. Quote

Which albums? Sound? Quote
king ubu Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 All of them (Tokyo, Big Band and Quartet, Newport, It Club, Jazz Workshop - each two discs - the three disc set contained some more stray cuts, so did the "Monk Alone" two disc set)Â ... and sound probably like in their respective latest editions. Quote
felser Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Sometimes they do new remastering for these sets. Â Generally, the sound quality on these sets has been outstanding to my ears. Quote
GA Russell Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Posted September 12, 2015 Sony Legacy released yesterday a few OACs, including a Dean Martin set of five Reprise albums.http://www.amazon.com/Original-Album-Classics-MARTIN-DEAN/dp/B00Z9KP4A2/Why are Reprise albums being released by Sony and not Warner? Anyone know anything about this?

king ubu Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Sometimes they do new remastering for these sets. Â Generally, the sound quality on these sets has been outstanding to my ears.I was under the impression they did so only when needed (i.e. only previous CD reissue was on Collectables)? Quote
jazzbo Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 There has been quite a few remasterings occur within these box sets, and like John I think they sound excellent.Thanks for the headsup about the Monk and Blakey sets Flurin! Now I hope they get around to live Brubeck Quartet! Quote

With the only question being if those stray cuts released on other albums/compilations ("Misterioso" was yet another, and that two LP set from the seventies, "Always Know") will be added or not.Regarding remasterings I don't know, but with such cheap-ish reissues I'd not expect them to remaster anything they previously reissued. I would like to know specifics about that, too (Lon, if you have some to offer, please step up! I'm not doubting your insight at all, I just wonder if for instance "Let My Children Hear Music" was remastered; to my best knowledge, the Bessie Smith box was not when it should have; and I wonder if "Big Band and Quartet in Concert" might be ...)

jazzbo Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) No, "Let my Children," was not (but imo it sounds better in the box set for whatever reason), though IIRC the "With Friends" was. In the case of the first Ellington earlier masterings were updated, and I would expect the same (especially the Schapp) to be the case in this one. In the case of the Shaw, Gordon, WR, Brubeck, Mahavishnu, etc. there have been new masterings, and in some cases additional material. A great series. I would think at the least this Monk box will bring together the bonus material from newer reissues, and perhaps additional material that"Mysterioso" was assembled from. I think there will be room, and it would be nice if there were bonus material here added. Hopefully the little snippets Mosaic released on vinyl will be added too.
