International Holy Hill Jazz Meeting

[Homefromtheforest]

Looks like this rarity has been reissued by "Be!" Records in Germany; the same label that reissued Barney Wilen's "zodiac" album recently.

I used to own the original over a decade ago but sold it as I found the sound quality quite poor and the music quality rather uneven. The label says they cleaned up the tapes for this reissue so I would be curious to compare it to the CDR I made of my original...still on the fence though because it's a bit of a mixed bag musically.

I have been on the hunt for an OG for years. Have CDRs and find the music overall pretty enjoyable although definitely bootleg-quality sound (same with the JG sets). Wonder if anyone got paid, especially since the CB Records operation that originally did this compilation was very grey-label.

Still to rich for my blood at $40ish. I am a cheapskate.

Seems like they are "going from the tapes" but I wonder if the tapes are even with the originating labels? Caprice has the Eje Thelin stuff as far as I know, maybe they licensed the old Metronome session? Don't know who handles Vogue at this point. Zodiac is another one I'm still searching for - have had bad luck with poor condition OGs. Really nice record.

Ah I see that Sony owns a lot of the French Vogue masters. I'd highly doubt they care enough to license this Wilen title, so it's probably a bootleg. "From the tapes," when it comes to these hyper-rare items, often makes me think that some collector has second-generation copies of the masters, or bought the masters off someone, rather than there being any "rights" assumed.

CD forthcoming!

CD forthcoming!

..from where? Do you have a link?

[colinmce]

Dusty G lists it in stock on or around June 1. Should be double CD at $24.99 if other CDs from the label are any indication.

Really? I would buy that as a balm until I find an original LP set!

Here's details, in case you are totally unfamilar with this recording, as I was before this post. Apparently was always a bootleg, even original release, so sound quality likely won't improve much. I'll pass at the likely price, but would be interested to hear it once.
