I've read that it was one Van Gelder's first attempts at multi-track recording. There was an incomplete stereo master tape in the vault and originally, Michael Cuscuna thought the multi-track tapes were lost. When he found them, he had Malcolm Addey digitally mix them down to stereo for the 2003 CD. I believe that Andrew Hill approved that final CD mix. Addey re-mixed these 8 track masters in the analog domain to create a new analog stereo master tape specifically for this new Tone Poet LP. Quote
JSngry Posted May 10, 2021 Report Posted May 10, 2021 That could be interesting....so it's a true AAA chain? Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 10, 2021 Report Posted May 10, 2021 I ordered that Hill LP. Not my favorite Hill session but I don't have the CD and I'd like to hear what Addey did here so... Quote
JSngry Posted May 11, 2021 Report Posted May 11, 2021 It's a good record, I was very pleasantly surprised, and the AAA chain intrigues me more than a little, but....$40 for a double lp? For a NEW lp, not, like a Mint OG Horo... I can let that go. Had to think about it first, though For $20, though, yeah. In a minute. Let an LP be a LP. Quote

If you amortize that additional $20 over the rest of your life, it's not that much. Let's say you've got 30 more years, that's 66 cents a year for Passing Ships in (perhaps) breathtaking analog.Of course, I'm not saying this is necessarily THE record on which to break the bank, and I certainly understand the slippery slope issue. But having said that, if you're really feeling it ... you're the one who always says Carpe Diem! Quote
JSngry Posted May 11, 2021 Report Posted May 11, 2021 I"m gonna carpe that 29 on some other diem and wait for a friendly burn of that new lp. Besides, my record player might have an old blunt needle. Quote
Brad Posted May 11, 2021 Report Posted May 11, 2021 Compared to the prices for audiophile records nowadays, that doesn’t seem overly expensive. Quote

I got 40 bucks. What the issue is, is that $40 for a new record (a 2-LP set but only 3 sides of music) of a CD that I already have, JUST to get it in AAA...Not seeing the value there for me. Quote
Dub Modal Posted May 11, 2021 Report Posted May 11, 2021 $40 for a 3 sided 2-LP set makes no sense to me. The reports of clipping/distortion being reported don't impress either. Quote

Can’t disagree with that. Quote
RiRiIII Posted May 11, 2021 Report Posted May 11, 2021 To non US residents: Amz Us offers currently a lot of Tone Poets for 26US$. By adding shipping and import customs, and due to the weak dollar, the final price comes to approx 28 Eur if one orders 4 or more records. Quote
