jazzbo Posted March 10, 2017 Report Posted March 10, 2017 I think it's an outer box that is made to hold all the Japanese Impulse reissues from a certain series. . . . Quote
HutchFan Posted March 10, 2017 Report Posted March 10, 2017 Along with the Ellington Centennial set that Mr. Mingus mentions in the first post, these boxes are at the top of my list: - Billie Holiday - Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia (1933-1944) - John Coltrane - The Classic Quartet: Complete Impulse! Studio Recordings - Warne Marsh & Lee Konitz - Two Not One (Storyville) - Mal Waldron & Steve Lacy - Live at Dreher, Paris 1981 (Hatology) Quote
paul secor Posted March 10, 2017 Report Posted March 10, 2017 I have to admit that I'm not big on boxes these days - I just don't listen to them much, which is completely my fault - but I'll second the recs of Bird on Savoy and Dial, and Billie on Columbia. A few other favorites: Louis - Hot 5's and 7's (either Columbia or JSP); Bud - Complete Verve; Django - the JSP sets mastered by Ted Kendall. If I'm allowed to stretch it to non-jazz sets: the Muddy, Wolf, and Walter sets on Chess/Hip-O Select; Elmore James - Flair/Virgin/Ace (Flair/Modern/Meteor/etc. sides) and Capricorn (Bobby Robinson sides); Budapest String Quartet - Beethoven String Quartets - United Archives.

My only quibble with this box is the insane amount of alternate takes, false starts and breakdowns. It just seems like they stuffed a little TOO much fluff in it. It can sometimes be a chore to wade through it all to get to the substance. I do give them extra points for the unique packaging, though. Quote

Lon is correct - it's one of the promo boxes issued by Disk Union to house the Japanese Impulse gatefold mini-LP reissues in the "Pharoah Sanders Collection" series. There's a presumably complete list of Disk Union boxes here: http://www.minilps.net/japan-box-etc-authorised/disk-union-box Quote

All those incomplete takes should have been on a seperate disk. And it isn't complete anymore. The same goes for the false starts, incomplete takes and studio chatter on the Bilie Holiday and Lester Young verve sets. Edited March 11, 2017 by miles65 typo Quote

Just to be clear, the Disk Union boxes are "empty" boxes, are they not? In other words, a product for collectors to buy just to hold CDs they've purchased separately. That's my recollection, but my memory seams to be going (!). So I would appreciate the confirmation... Thx. Edited March 14, 2017 by jdw Quote

Yes, the Disk Union boxes are empty, although you will frequently find them sold along with the discs they were designed to contain - that's how I got the Sanders box. If memory serves, they're referred to as "promo" boxes because Disk Union offered them as an extra to customers who bought the complete set of discs they were intended to house. Quote

I hadn't listened to the Smithsonian Collection in 40 years-although this newer version sports a slightly different track selection, it is excellent. I found the juxtaposition of Fletcher Henderson, Red Nichols, and Bennie Moten stimulating. Quote
