colinmce Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 Not really true, I've had this CD since it came out in 2012: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 Any new Harriott is good news, hopefully this indicates that the Universal/Decca reissue programme isn't as dead as feared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 I've seen more copies of Hum Dono offered for sale than I have Movement... the original is exceedingly rare. No, I don't have either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 (edited) This is a surprise. Even though I have an original, I will go for this one. Good to have a spare for regular spins and sonically it should be good too. Ironically, I got my original copy when in Japan ! Never ever seen it for sale in the UK (other than one online copy over 20 years ago). A rare occurrence of scarce UK jazz LP returning home.. I could do with 'High Spirits' on vinyl so maybe they will join hands and summon that one up next. Of note - the original was in mono only. This one will be in stereo and uses a 24/192 copy from the original stereo master tape, apparently. Edited October 1 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adh1907 Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 The Vocalion CD reissue was also billed as ‘first time in stereo’. A good album. A mix of free form tracks and more straightforward tracks. High Spirits , the other album on the CD reissue is a strange one. Tunes based on a musical version of Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit. I have only ever seen one beat up copy of Movement (never High Spirits) and even then a lot of money was being asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Don't recall ever having seen 'High Spirits'. A copy sold on eBay recently apparently for about £1.5k ! As mentioned, a tie-in with the Coward music so I guess Denis Preston must have been trying to raise sales and profile of the Quintet. As with 'Movement' for any copies out there there seems to be a high percentage of factory samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
