GA Russell Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Lon, that's good to know. So that another Universal label I hadn't heard about. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Greggery, how is the sound on that? I thought that that particular label is known for poor sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the sound is very good. Very present, and clear. I can't speak to the source, I know that Real Gone is one of the EU "knock-off" labels but I give this set very high marks for audio. The John Kirby album (the one I was most interested in) sounds great but overall there is a great deal here to enjoy. $8.19 very well spent.

Bigshot Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) I haven't heard these, but the reviews are good so I just ordered them... Appears to be TV and radio broadcasts of varying quality, but the price is good for a pig in a poke- £12.99 Abbey Road and Beyond: Greatest Hits and Lost Sessions 1962 - 1966 (6 CD Box Set) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MG5AHLP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=AUFV5K23G1D09&psc=1 The Rolling Stones - Satisfaction In Concert: The Classic Broadcasts 1964-1966 [4 CD Set] https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N5SBBBB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=AUFV5K23G1D09&psc=1 Life From Mars: The Legendary Broadcast Collaboration 4 CD Box Set https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XSGX1Q6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AUFV5K23G1D09&psc=1 Edited August 13, 2017 by Bigshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Mike Oldfield OAS - $14.99 primehttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0K3WZ8/ Unlike the OASs and OACs of the other artists I'm familiar with, this set does not include any of what I believe were Oldfield's three most popular albums: Tubular Bells, Ommadawn or Hergest Ridge.

GA Russell Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 BS&T - New Blood/No Sweat/More Than Ever - $10.48 + $3.99https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Sweat-Tears-More-Than/dp/B009DTI36M I remember seeing these three albums in the stores, but I never heard them. Does anyone have an opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) About the quality of BST3 and BST4 if you remember those. I own them all, but only ever listen to the first two, the one with Al Kooper and the one with all the megahits. Everything else was really just weaker retreads, though not without merit. Note that two of the three have Jerry Fisher rather than David Clayton-Thomas as lead singer. Fisher has his own affectations, but they are very different than DCT's affectations.

The liner notes for that project were done by a friend from here in Toronto, Ron Gaskin. In addition to writing poetry, he used to be a manager at the main store of the Canada-wide record store chain, Sam The Record Man. He knows his music! This collection was instigated by the Canadian branch of Verve/Universal...an affordable, yet thorough release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 It's a useful set covering a lot of material inexplicably not released to CD by Verve's American wing. The sound quality is variable, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound quality is variable, however. I find the sound is acceptable, if not exciting. It's noted it was done from the original tapes by "Verve New York" though there are no specific engineers credited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
