Don't mind me lawyering over here

they said $20 savings on the bundle so not too bad!

 

[yukbon]

So Space is the Place or Astro Black for the Sun Ra...

I am hoping for

but honestly i am ok with any of the three

isn't there a recent KG cut of that for like $20?

Yep, same with Astro Black. So I think both of the Ra titles that were originally released on Impulse! as quads have been done by KG on Modern Harmonic.

 

[Skalap]

Those interested in four you should save $20 by purchasing the bundle.

EDIT: as @MikeH already said

i think the three quad Sun Ras were Space is the Place, Pathways and Astro Black. so guessing its one of those!

Yeah, Modern Harmonic has done a great job with both of these. Different art than the Impulse! releases, but restoration of the original cover art isn't gonna be enough to have me pay VMP prices for either of them - if I'm paying that much I'm going to just pay the bit extra for an actual Impulse! pressing.

As for Space is the Place, it's actually a Blue Thumb release, but Impulse! Has issued it on CD. It's got a Verve By Request reissue coming out, but that's nowhere near as good as a KPG MH reissue.

Hope it’s Space Is the Place then! Missed on the Jackpot reissue from a few years ago. I didn’t realize Impulse! had the rights to that one.

 

[D Jilla]

Ooh, Coltrane’s Interstellar Space was a quad. That would be amazing- copies of all pressings of that one are pretty pricy.

This somehow makes me more worried about the overall cost

According to last pricings I'd say it will be in the $42/45 range individually.

I wonder if it will be more like the Jazz Dispensary- $50 per title. So $180 for the four would make it at least somewhat in line with other audiophile titles.

It would be the best pick, I reckon.

i'd expect JDxVMP pricing sadly...$45/$50 each.

that would be rad for sure.

As far as I can tell Archie Shepp only released three titles in Quad: Attica Blues, The Cry of My People, and Kwanza. Attica was Classics #1, and Verve/Third Man just did Kwanza like a month ago (with RKS cutting), so I think we can assume it's The Cry of My People which is arguably Shepp's best album, and hasn't ever been reissued? Damn.

For the unknown one, I'm hoping for Michael White's The Land of Spirit and Light.

Yeah, I asked if it was out on Discord and he gave me the Bones/Kirk head nod gif, so probably, but you never know with Storf.

@TCell you're gonna be a happy camper....
