Cheers Skip! I had actually been holding out, waiting for Sony to remaster Monk's back catalogue which had actually begun ages ago w/ Live at the It club but then seemed to stall (compared to their treatment of Miles). I don't have the prior version of Solo Monk on CD so i can't compare. Anyone care to comment?
The complete Columbia solo set is the one I have, and I'm fine with it. As for the Bob, I think we'd better ask the whole list: are we ready for a Bob jag? sh
The other reissue/remaster i had meant to mention on my year end list was Dylan's _John Wesley Harding_. Now, this is possibly heresy to some, but i have never really _dug_ Dylan. Mind you all i had for ages was that 3cd best-of. Still, i'm not sure i connect w/ some of his albums that many love. It's that feeling you get when you think you should like something more than you really do (for whatever reason) but it's not really hitting you. That's not to say I actively disliked the stuff I heard. Anyway, to get to the point, i think JWH is one I can quite honestly say i dig (FWTW). The other surprise for me was Nashville Skyline. It's hard to believe Dylan ever sounded like that; his vocals i mean. Anyone who's never heard this should check out how different he sounded then. And the Man in Black makes a cameo on the first track too!
