Head Man Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 CDJapan has just issued the list of Impulse! reissues due out mid-May.. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/products?range.rel=2015-05-13%2C2015-05-20&page=1&opt.on_released=0&opt.on_preorder=0&term.release_month=&term.cat_id=UA-12 Most look like the usual suspects but if there's something missing in your collection then they're going for a very good price.

Late Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 50 titles total. Good to see Marion Brown's ode to the then 23 year-old Sam Shepard — Three For Sheppard — see reissue again. Now we all get to figure out which remasters the Japanese used this time around. Fun! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Good to see Marion Brown's ode to the then 23 year-old Sam Shepard — Three For Sheppard — see reissue again. Well, he wasn't a bad drummer... Quote

Well, he wasn't a bad drummer... Perhaps Andy Sheppard http://andysheppard.co.uk/;-)? If in doubt vide http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/r/threeforshepp.html Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Sam Shepard played drums with the Holy Modal Rounders and the Fugs. Quote
erwbol Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 The SHM remasters from 2011 were exceptional. If Meditations uses the 2011 remaster this is a must own disc. Some titles not issued in 2011 like Ascension, Africa Brass, Fire Music & Archie Shepp Live in San Francisco. I will definitely get Ascension to see what masterings are used. The last time this was issued in Japan was, I believe, in 2005, UCCI-9124, currently my preferred version. Quote
king ubu Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Good to see Shepp's "Magic of Ju-Ju" on that list ... other than that mostly same old ... why not do some of zhe rarer Sanders and Rivers for a change? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Magic of Ju-Ju is the shit. Have had it on LP for many years. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Yes Vista at a reduced price! Going for that one, Love is in Us All, Jupiter Variation (that was an early Coltrane vinyl purchase), the excellent McFarland, and a few others. Edited March 16, 2015 by jazzbo Quote
mikeweil Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Have the McFarland as LP and DL but might go for it once more. Tom Scott's "Rural Still Life" is a very good quartet date with Mike Lang, Chuck Domanico, and John Guerin - rather underrated IMHO. Who else here has heard this? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Got Vista on LP for $4 at one point long ago. I don't listen to it as much as some others, but it's still a solid album. Quote
Late Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 The SHM remasters from 2011 were exceptional. If Meditations uses the 2011 remaster this is a must own disc. I hope this new batch uses those SHM remasters. The SHM of Sun Ship is much, much finer (sonically) than the U.S. (complete) edition, in my opinion. The Japanese SHM remaster was somehow able to reduce/remove a lot of the digital glare present in the U.S. edition. The Japanese edition, of course, doesn't have all the extras, but it does — importantly — restore the Ed Michel edits. Those edits are essential (and musical) for people who grew up with that album on vinyl. (The edits, by the way, are the opposite of, say, a Dick Bock edit. They consist mainly of trimming sloppy Elvin Jones endings on certain tracks.) For those who haven't heard them yet, do not sleep on the two Max Roach titles! If you like Andrew Hill's Lift Every Voice, then you'll probably like It's Time. I agree with Ubu — I would love to have seen, say, Jewels of Thought (Sanders) and/or Streams (Rivers). I can't even remember when Sam Rivers (on Impulse!) was last reissued in Japan, or anywhere. Coltrane, Shepp, Ayler — they get the love, and Sam keeps waiting. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I feel like it wasn't THAT long ago that Love In Us All and Crystals were on CD as mini-LP editions. Quote
Late Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Crystals ... as mini-LP edition. Thanks for the reminder. Putting that one in the queue for tomorrow. Quote
Head Man Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I presume "Yusef Lateef - Club Date" contains more music from his stint at Peps in 1968. Is it all new or has some/all the music already been released on Vols 1 & 2? Update: Looks like I aready have everything on "Club Date" on my two GRP CDs..... Edited March 17, 2015 by Head Man Quote
king ubu Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Damn, lost my post here ... was thinking of other Sanders albums mostly (Live at the East! but there are some more, and I missed that "Love" reissue ... of the Rivers, I've got the LPR reissue).Brown, "Vista", is good news of course! Might also go for the McFarland, have a most battered original of it around, which can, I guess, indeed be considered unplayable.But it's really time for "Streams" to be around - longer than two weeks and for less than 30$, please!And yup, "Club Date" is more from "Live at Pep's" (I think it made up all of Vol. 2 of the old Impulse Master Edition and the bonus tracks of the initial GRP "Live at Pep's" reissue). Probably my favourite 'teef, all things considered - and *great* to hear Richard Williams stretching out!What do experts think, is this again a case (like the recent Trio reissue series, where I missed out, alas!) where one needs to pre-order in order to get anything at all, or will these be around for a few months?EDIT: not quite ... "Live at Pep's" on GRP had side one of "Club Date" in the middle (#4-6):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_Pep%27sside two of "Club Date":http://www.discogs.com/Yusef-Lateef-Club-Date/release/369189plus more (not sure where this might have been out previously or if at all, not at home right now) was on Vol. 2:http://www.discogs.com/Yusef-Lateef-Live-At-Peps-Volume-Two/release/1594621 Quote

RiRiIII Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I feel like it wasn't THAT long ago that Love In Us All and Crystals were on CD as mini-LP editions. Sure, Crystals was in the same MINI-LP US/EU Verve series as was Attica Blues. Quote

barnaba.siegel Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Veteran Groover - thanks for the full list Vista is a great news, as the previous editon gone quite expensive. I was quite shock after founding that Harold Budd was involved and that Marion was playing on Budd's ambient-bliss "The Pavilon of Dreams". Any other suggestions for the "non-obvious" albums (meaning other than Trane, Shepp, Szabo, Ayler)? Quote

clifford_thornton Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 love all the misspelled titles. Greek Cooking is a neat album. I'm surprised it hasn't been reissued on CD. Quote
Late Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 UCCI-9245 San Ship John Coltrane UCCI-9247 Homme John Coltrane UCCI-9260 Illuminating Nation! Elvin Jones & Jimmy Garrison UCCI-9273 Three Four Shepp Marion Brown UCCI-9280 New Glass Albert Ayler Glad these are finally seeing the light of day. Some background information: • UCCI 9245 - San Ship Originally titled "San Juan Nepomuceno" in honor of the 18th century Spanish war ship (as Coltrane was a Battle of Trafalgar enthusiast), Bob Thiele later removed the reference, and opted for the generic "Ship." Coltrane politely insisted that at least the formal "San" remain. • UCCI 9247 - Homme Little known fact: Coltrane's popularity during the years 1965-67 was such that Impulse! corporate suits decided to cross-market fragrances with Coltrane's name attached. Homme was to be the first cologne bearing Coltrane's name and endorsement. When Elvin Jones and McCoy Tyner discovered that no fragrances were being developed to promote their own personal brands, they left the band. Coltrane was shocked and depressed, and as a result cancelled his end of the product contract. Though the first 50 copies of Homme came with scratch-and-sniff samples, the fragrance was never officially released. • UCCI 9260 - Illuminating Nation! Jimmy Garrison was a longtime Nikola Tesla admirer. Wireless energy was certainly the way of the future, and with a wireless bass amp, Garrison might finally be heard in ensemble with Coltrane's band. • UCCI 9273 - Three Four Shepp Turns out that Marion Brown had never heard of Sam Shepard. Rather, the album is a discreet reference to Archie's love of Strauss. • UCCI 9280 - New Glass Ayler was one of the first to speak highly of the then little-known composer he called simply "Phil."
