RiRiIII Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Has anyone done a comparison of the two SHM Joe Henderson "State Of The Tenor 1 & 2" to older releases I know these are not part of the "Classic Blue Notes" series but I think this reissue has been mentioned here considering upgrading my mid 90's doubletime release - this sounded quite good IMHO (for the time) but are the SHM's that much better? - It's a pity they didn't add more unreleased titles from these live sessions (there are plenty) BTW I've been buying the earlier Classic SHM BN's from HMV Japan - they have them at a reduced prices, as low as 1200 yen at times (with their frequent special offers) AFAIK all of the titles since the first series are still available at HMV Japan I ve purchased the SHMs of State of the Tenor and will compare with the double 90s set - I ll let you know when they arrive and be played. Wonderful sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Anyone knows if Jutta Hipp at the Hickory House Vol. 2 will follow as well? Seems the 2007 reissues are on the way out (at least Vol. 2) and I guess I'd rather go for the SHM-CDs anyways, but I want them both!

erwbol Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Same here. Still waiting for Amazing Bud Powell Vol. 2, Jazz Messengers at Cafe Bohemia Vol.2, Ornette Coleman Golden Circle Vol.2, and a second disc of Rollins' A Night at the Village Vanguard, but I haven't given up hope.

Clunky Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I've had the SHM editions of Monk Vols 1 & 2 and Milt Jackson for a week or so. I'd rate all highly being a modest but noticeable improvement cf RVGs. I'll be keeping the RVGs which group tracks by session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkboughtlunch Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks - anyone have a full list of all the Blue Note SHMCD retransfers issued thus far? I owned a Japanese TOCJ (maybe a 1990s transfer) of Donald Byrd's "I’m Tryin’ To Get Home." I remember this CD sounding quite awful -- like it was sourced from a multigenerational damaged copy. It will be interesting to hear if this new SHMCD is a dramatic improvement. I'm also tempted to pick up Green's Goin West -- as the RVG CD of that title was heavily compressed.

king ubu Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Same here. Still waiting for Amazing Bud Powell Vol. 2, Jazz Messengers at Cafe Bohemia Vol.2, Ornette Coleman Golden Circle Vol.2, and a second disc of Rollins' A Night at the Village Vanguard, but I haven't given up hope. checked my cdjapan account over the weekend, and that order is partly "locked" - I can't cancel either of the 2007 "Hickory House" discs any more - so I assume they did get them (but are holding them for one other item that's part of the order is not around yet, might in fact never come around) - as I'm no audiophile, I'm fine with the 2007 editions, if they come through, who knows ... I'm having four or five open orders right now, re-grouped them several times after getting delivery estimate updates etc - it's all a bit complicated it seems (some of those Sony reissues are keeping orders back, too ... still waiting for the Blue John Patton with all the bonus tracks, ordered two or three months ago, it really borders on the ridiculous) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Strange. In my experience they contact you and give you the opportunity to cancel an item if it is not available after 9 days or so. They even do this for orders payed for with PayPal (normally no cancellation or regrouping allowed after completion). I keep orders small (one or two items) in order to avoid customs.

king ubu Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Yup, I found it strange as well - just crossing my fingers that they will deliver, since I really want actual CDs of these finally, and just as really don't care much about which version I get.I ignored some of those mails initially, assuming they'd come through eventually, but then got a cancellation (of two items releases in mid November, ordered in December - and I was already too late, how ridiculous is that?), so I re-combined the Patton with other items, only to get another round of delay notification mails on these items, so I kept re-combining ... now it's the two Columbia Earl Hines ones that hold the Patton back from being shipped, but I'd really love to have those, so I let that order run. I cannot cancel those either anyway, status is "processed", so I guess they're just slow in actually sending them out.Gee, one does need at least a bachelor's degree to understand cdjapan, doesn't one?
