The-Newest-Sound-you-never-heard-cover-2

Official Physical and Digital Release Date Jan 25th, 2019

http://a-siderecords.com/records/the-newest-sound-you-never-heard/#

I got something called Free Standards - Stockholm 1966 off a blog, but that was French Columbia. And then it came out again on Fresh Sounds, but you know, fuck them.

But anyway, there this is!

 

I believe this set includes material not on the Fresh Sounds release. To quote a certain board member, carpe diem!

Correct: it includes the Stockholm, Sweden, November 8, 1966 session reissued on Fresh Sound as well as a never before issued session: Studio I, Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie, Brussels, Belgium, October 21, 1966, and a session labelled "Live, Brussels, Belgium, unidentified date, 1967".

The label linked above accepts PayPal, so this issue should be available the world over (@ ubu). When you click the PayPal link a whole page of releases opens, leading me to think Ran Blake had a hand in this. Many of his releases are offered.

I don't believe so, at least domestically. This BMG France reissue probably comes closest.

I have that reissue, sound is good, and it has four bonus tracks. They didn't make that availale in the US? Duh ...

The cover of the new issue is a clear reference.

Be careful when ordering this one, earlier CD versions did not inlude the bonus tracks.

This was a US CD release, According to discogs, "Summertime" is missing, but the Lord Disco says it has the complete LP plus the four bonus tracks.

I figured that out in the meantime -- and yes, it seems Blake has a hand in this indeed, also came to that conclusion. Got to get this!

My copy is RCA Victor Gold Series 74321748052 - includes the bonus tracks.

That's the one in Joe's post.

This release was made possible with Ran's direct input and the considerable effort of Aaron Hartley (Ran's aide-de-camp and NEC colleague) and his A-Side records. Danilo Perez and Dominique Eade contribute wonderful notes. The sound is pristine. I am biased, of course, but this is spectacular music, lovingly presented. Ran's illustrations throughout are a Braxtonian delight. Don't sleep on it.

I'm very tempted.

You will not regret it. It’s a feast for the ears and the brain. I’ve  just listened to the first 10 songs from disc 1, and it’s everything you’d hope it to be..something quite different!

I played Disc 1 twice yesterday. It's captivating. Looking forward to discussing the music. Her Ellington interpretations are so refreshingly-original. The Beatles cut...I guess it was a tribute to an immensely-popular hit. Even trying to inject some individualism into what everyone was covering then is commendable. And sexy. I hadn't listened to the lyrics of the Hard Day's Night until she sang it. She made it sound quite erotic. :)  

The service was awesome also. I got mine within a couple of days of ordering. They also sent a free bonus disk of Persian music, which i haven't played yet..
