This column will cover only the editing and for good reason, music part, we do not know what we will receive after ordering.
Certainly there will always be "Blue Train", one of the finest drives Coltrane on the CD but without the alternate takes very interesting (I will teach anyone that Coltrane was a great improviser) of, for example, this edition Blue Train - Attention: Copy control. Still, there was room to add to the CD.
On the second CD displaying the contents of two LPs.
You think you have ordered:
- Black Pearls
- Soultrane
but look at the picture:
- Soultrane
- Dakar
Suppose you are interested in Soultrane, one and one for you. But then, a neighbor has just ordered and received this product and there, it changes again, he finds himself with
- Traneing In
- Dakar
And all this just on the cover as to be able to return the item, my neighbor made no listening therefore does not know what he really was there on the second CD.
Best of all ,, remastering was not made from original tapes but from 33 laps.
You will understand why it is difficult to talk about music, "Soul Trane" deserving * 6 but the rest, as it differs ...
In short, save and buy a real good remastered edition: His Prestige Albums less than 4 euros but often exciting alternative takes or break your piggy bank for the edition including all The Prestige Years to less than 5 euros CD .
