medjuck Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 I have an image of thousands of Amazon trucks making deliveries tomorrow.... Quote
jazzbo Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 I don't know, I think it may be delayed everywhere but Canada and Japan. Quote
felser Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Got a shipped notice on mine from Amazon. Delivery tomorrow. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Cool. I've read the cds are delayed. Amazon tells me Nov. 2! Â I will get one from Japan before that. Quote
JohnT Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Was expecting mine tomorrow from Amazon but received my CD tonight! Â Quote
EKE BBB Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) The music is inteeeeeeense!!!! Only the bass interludes bring some release. The disc gives you a really good glimpse of what experiencing this group live must have been at the time. And Elvin Jones is a f*****g monster. Only "minus" is that Coltrane's sax is quite low in the mix. "Four stars plus" for me. Edited October 22, 2021 by EKE BBB Quote
JSngry Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 I unintentionally double ordered, Amazon & Dusty Groove...we will see which one gets here first. Both have sent shipping notices, but Amazon has it on the way, arriving here today by 10 PM. DG just says label created at USPS, but that's it. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 I think Amazon will get there first. Amazon now says Wednesday for me. Quote
mikeweil Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 My copy should arrive tomorrow. Quote
JSngry Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Yeah, Amazon is showing Shipped + arrived at a carrier facility. But not "out for delivery", and that's the best indicator imo. I recently had an order where they said an item had shipped and was at Location X, and then all tracking went dead. Amazon sent me a not that this item might be lost, come get your refund! So I did, and  ordered another of the same thing from another Amazon seller, and then both it and the allegedly lost item got here on the same day, thus necessitating a return via a trip to Whole Foods (the specified that it had to be Whole Foods!). So until one or both of them get here, I'm still keeping the scoreboard open. Amazon is still the favorite, but sometimes the underdog has a late innings rally. Quote
sidewinder Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 My CD of this one is out for delivery tomorrow. Bundled in a spare and super-cheap 2CD copy of Tubby Hayes ‘Grits’. Quote
Pim Posted October 22, 2021 Author Report Posted October 22, 2021 Coltrane is indeed a little far out in the mix. But the music is…. sensational. Wow….. just wow… Quote

Wow….. just wow… Yes, listening to that Australian broadcast, sensational was the word. Might even prefer it to the original ! How is the vinyl? Optimal pressing, presumably ?

JSngry Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Ok, my Amazon is at a carrier facility in McKinney, which is just up the road apiece, about a 20 minute drive so it ought to be getting here today, as scheduled. Still, it ain't over until the tenor player starts to sing... Quote

It’s good but also a little hard to say as I think the original tapes weren’t exactly best in sound.  But it is that sound that really makes you feel like you’re attending a live Coltrane gig.  I can’t believe they still put these expansive releases in paper inner sleeves…. Part from that: great packaging. Quote

A lot of my Blue Note 75th anniversary releases have those scratches.  Best alternative are rice paper anti static sleeves. Nothing fancy or expensive so I really don’t understand they still put them in paper sleeves. Quote

OliverM Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Rode my bicycle to get the CD at the nearest store today after work and listening to it tonight. Excellent release and a very exciting one. Quote
