Brad Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) This is sort of a Mosaic question that somebody pointed out on Hoffman. Universal just released, as part of its Acoustic Sounds Series, Clifford Brown’s Study in Brown. The notes in the Discogs entry states that it’s a repressing of the record from Mosaic MRLP 3004, the Brown Roach EmArcy Albums, issued in 2012 Discogs Entry: Clifford Brown Max Roach Study in Brown Someone on Hoffman noted that the deadwax from the Mosaic set and the new release are identical. Anyone have any ideas about this. Is it just that Universal in its license to Mosaic reserved the right to use the same configuration after the Mosaic license expired? If so, is this a common practice? Edited January 31, 2021 by Brad Quote
mjzee Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 I think Universal actually manufactured the Mosaic discs and shipped them to Mosaic for boxing. They're just reusing the masters which they retained. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 As I understand it the owner of the material can do what they wish with the work that Mosaic has done AFTER the Mosaic licence expires. Quote
Brad Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Posted January 31, 2021 Thanks for the replies. Interesting that they appear to be using the same mastering 8-9 years later. Quote
