Shirley Scott/Lem Winchester

[bertrand]

I was happy to score a copy of Shirley Scott's Soul Sister CD from Newbury Comics via Amazon, but there seems to be a missing track.

The CD case claims that the CD is 76 minutes long and includes the entire Soul Sister LP, plus 'Now's The Time' from the same session with Lem Winchester, which apparently appeared on a different LP made up of odds and ends from different sessions. However, the CD is actually only 69 minutes long and this track is not included.

My assumption is that they intended to put the extra track on the CD (going as far as to list it on the booklet), then forgot.

1) Did they make up their mistake by putting the tune on another Scott OJC or Legends Of Acide Jazz? I think I have all of Scott's Fantasy titles, but I don't think it's on there.

2) Is there a pressing of this CD that has the missing track?

Doug Payne's Scott discography does not mention the missing track, which either means he did not notice or that his pressing has the tune.

Thanks,

Bertrand.

My copy of the CD, dated 1999, has "Now's The Time" (track 13). The total time is listed as 76:45, buy my player indicates 74 and change.

Maybe your CD was an earlier issue, and mine was a later (corrected) version? I know Fantasy made errors like this occasionally (although they sometimes failed to ever correct them).

There was a number of twofer CDs with a track left off for time limitation, but they never got around to release a compilation of all those missing tracks. I would have been surprised if they had done that.

My pressing is also 1999. That REALLY sucks. I certainly don't want to hunt for another copy; this one was hard enough to find.

Fantasy was far from 100% great.

my copy has the 13th track; it's also listed in the liner notes

Mine's okay, too - just searched and checked.

That is too weird.
