It would be interesting to know just how many of the alternate takes were available at the time "The Complete Charlie Parker on Verve" box was compiled (1988). The same can be said of the recently released "Charlie Parker with Strings" which contains "18 newly discovered, previously unreleased alternate takes". Phil's liner notes make no reference to their "rediscovery". Q

So this is our yearly dose of previously unissued Charlie Parker with Strings?   Count me in.   I'm a Bird junkie.  :)

Maybe Phil will include some alternates of pause tracks too.  D)

I'm going to pass.  I don't think the recent Strings CD added much, at least for me, and I was quite content with the prior one.  I will probably sell the recent Strings one.

this is the story that they're going with

Yeah, great story ...

I personally know of one of these alternates an acquaintance has had since at least mid-2011, and it wouldn't seem unreasonable to assume that it and other alternates were circulating well before that date ...

Anyway, I've pre-ordered. Q

Where did they find that lost, soundless film footage of Bird that just kinda popped up one day, was that from Granz' holdings directly, or those of an acquaintance?

Does yours say "CD MADE IN MEXICO" on the back? Maybe it's just on the wrapper, I don't know, it just got here today. But yeah, WTF? as in So Freakin' What? Shit gets made all over the world and it gets in fine or finer print, Bird comes in from a day's drive south and itgets advertised in red ink big enough to not go uunnoticed,  racist baiting, internationalist pride, I don't get it, and as soon as I do, I won't.

Help me. I thought we were talking about the strings album.  What is this release?

Posted

Ok so South of the Border is relevant here only in relation to the Made in Mexico element.  And the references to Strings were to the earlier release in another thread. Bit slow there. Caught up now.

So this appears to be a CD only offering.  Right?  No legit downloads for sale?    I would buy a legit download, but I am not in a place where it is convenient to order a CD.  So...
