Look at this on-going Vogue thread for some discussion:

While I've not listened to any of it, it certainly is a very nicely done set!

[ArtSalt]

I hate to brag and boast, but I have a few of those original 10" Vogue's!

[erwbol]

I need to grab this before the holiday season.

[tomatamot]

Keep an eye on ebay.com

You can buy regular very nice fidelity Japanese pressing VOGUE albums for a fair price.

[ArtSalt]

What about an English Vogue label box-set?

Not sure what the Monk remark is about ... I never said it wasn't included, did I?

Anyway, the Monk album alone is reason to get this box - that is if you haven't got it already.

[erwbol]

Oh, I figured you must be familiar with that recording, but you said you hadn't listened to any of it.

And i should have checked out the later pages of the thread you linked to. Apologies.

[king ubu]

Oh, sorry if I was unclear ... I've got the entire run of "Original Vogue Masters" and am a big fan on the series!

I hesitated thus for a while if I should get the box, too, since it had little new material for me (I've got the Django and Bechet elsewhere) ... but I'm glad I did, since it's a nice package and cost no more than 35 or 40 € ... but as I'm familiar with nearly all of the music inside (safe for some alternates as on the Konitz disc, I think), I've not yet really listened to any of the discs as they're found in the box.

So that should be clear now

The Monk, btw, remains my favourite among his solo recordings - has been for fifteen years. A splendid record!

[erwbol]

For a while, I used to put the Monk in my discman whenever I took my bike out to do groceries. There's nothing like a little Monk to accompany a visit to the supermarket.

I think that Lalo Schifrin title is pretty rare.

[king ubu]

I think that Lalo Schifrin title is pretty rare.

it's nice but not all that great, I think ... it was the only "Original Vogue Masters" release in red instead of black - and the disc combined it with another ten inch album that the box weirdly omits again:

needless to say, it's OOP:

What a waste of playing time!

[Big Beat Steve]

What a waste of playing time!

Well, the Lionel Hampton CD clocks in at 79:14 minutes (three 10-inchers!). Couldn't get much more onto a CD than that ...

But you are right about couple of the other CDs (Konitz, Pettiford, Schifrin ...)

Got my box set today and as King Ubu said it is very nicely produced indeed. The box, the booklet, the cardboard replica LP covers of the individual CDs - very nice, and at that price (2 euros per CD, not much more than the price of a good blank), who is ANYBODY to complain ... ), even discounting those that one invariably already has elsewhere (sometimes it's nice to have them together in such a '"compact" form too).

Only drawback(s): When playing the CDs you wil have to refer constantly to the booklet because the sleeves reproduce only the covers (and therefore track listing) of the "primary" LP included on the CD but not of the bonus(es). And to read the back cover liner notes you'd almost need overcorrected reading glasses.

So now (sorry for hijacking this thread a little) a couple of my black Vogue Original Masters CDs from the late 90s look like they're becoming redundant as they are duplicated by 100% by the CDs in this box set.

Anybody among European forumists out there interested in swapping the following for others from that series that I don't have yet and that are not on the CD box?

- Andre Hodeir - The Vogue Sessions

- Jimmy Raney - Visits Paris Vol. 1

- Barney Wilen - Tilt

- Martial Solal - The Complete Vogue Recordings Vol. 1

[Teasing the Korean]

Just got the box. Nice packaging, nice thick sleeves. I'll report back on the music after November 1, but until then, it's all Halloween music!

[romualdo]

What's the chance of a Volume 2? - really hoping for that (there is plenty of material for a few volumes)

[king ubu]

Would say very low chance ... but I'd gladly be proven wrong, even more so if they added Barney's "Zodiac" next time 'round (I've got it to listen, but still would love a "real" copy of it).
