Late Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Ric Colbeck's The Sun Is Coming Up is being reissued in Japan on March 30th, along with at least seven other titles, the SME's Karyobin among them. Randy Weston's 1969 album on French Polydor, Niles Littlebig, is also in the bunch. A great batch to be sure. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Wow! Have the Colbeck on original LP and also the SME on the first Chronoscope CD version, but still quite tempted to order these new editions! Will definitely pick up the Lowther title and perhaps the Weston which I'm not familiar with... Quote
soulpope Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 "Niles Littlebig" is excellent .... Quote
sidewinder Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 The Henry Lowther has already been issued on CD by Vocalion (who did an excellent job) and by some other company since then so that one is pretty well superfluous. Other than the SME the Colbeck is the only one of interest and as I have a pristine UK Fontana vinyl of this one I'll likely pass. Quote
Late Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Niles Littlebig sound sample on YouTube. Gene Shaw's Debut in Blues. This one is also in the batch: Edited January 10, 2016 by Late Quote
sidewinder Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Now that one would definitely be of interest ! Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 Been wanting to hear Karyobin for many years. Very glad to hear this news. Quote
king ubu Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 will definitely try and get the SME and the Colbeck - guess a pre-order is on order the Weston was reissued a while ago on a fine twofer with the other album from the same sessions/line-up: http://www.discogs.com/Randy-Weston-Randy-Westons-African-Rhythms/release/5190944 Quote
carville Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Nice stuff! I have Karyobin on cd from this reissue and it's a wonderful album http://www.discogs.com/Spontaneous-Music-Ensemble-Kary%C5%8Dbin/release/1022101 Who is selling this new reissue series? Thanks, C Quote
king ubu Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 I guess I'll get one from here: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UICY-77705 Quote

The original on French Polydor is a fine recording and good pressing. I like it, but I can imagine some listeners getting tired of the conga drumming. Karyobin and Ric Colbeck are of course highly recommended Quote

Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Will get the Harold McNair and perhaps the Gene Shaw; have everything else I need. Quote
Late Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Posted January 13, 2016 That Michael Naura record is stonky! Quote
king ubu Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Delayed until early May, according to an info/order update I just got from CDJapan (ordered the SME and Colbeck discs) Quote
Jason Drake Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) I'm seeing the Ric Colbeck as "release cancelled" while all the others show as having been delayed to May......maybe its a system update thing and eventually the Colbeck will also move to May (I hope so)..... (Correction - the Naura and Richardson also showing as release cancelled as at 19th Feb) Edited February 19, 2016 by Jason Drake correction Quote
king ubu Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Oh shit. Just now realise I got two mails on the SME and none for Colbeck. Would love to see that one coming out, it's such a good album! Quote

king ubu Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 just got a cancellation notice for the Colbeck I had on order ... including this: "At this time, there is no indication to show whether or not it might be released at a later time in the future." too bad, really! Quote
sambrasa Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 Discontinued. The Michael Naura album too, probably all the others from this batch as well. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 Huh. Dusty Groove is still showing March 30 for the SME and McNair. Quote
king ubu Posted May 16, 2016 Report Posted May 16, 2016 the SME reissue seems to really come out now ... they hadn't cancelled that part of my pre-order, but I kinda gave up holding my breath still http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UICY-77702 Quote
OliverM Posted May 16, 2016 Report Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) I suppose this will be a new mastering. I don't have any other version so I am getting this, but read discussions of the 1993 Chronoscope CD version being very different from the original LP. ps: the title of the thread is a bit misleading now since only SME is out Edited May 16, 2016 by OliverM Quote
