Thanks again. <br />Simon666https://www.blogger.com/profile/09956360016761022956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266956345774469059.post-34247099414175373272012-10-29T05:51:01.125+11:002012-10-29T05:51:01.125+11:00Thanks!
I agree with your conclusion that this mu...Thanks!<br /><br />I agree with your conclusion that this must be from the unissued RCA sessions in May 1967 rather than some other unknown session in June 1966. Additional circumstantial evidence is the Jimmy Heath composition "A Time And A Place". The first released version was recorded in December 1966 by Milt Jackson with Heath as sideman. The next version was recorded in February 1967 by Art Farmer, once again with Heath as sideman. This makes a 1967 date seem much more likely. Although, just to complicate matters, it was actually recorded already in April 1966 for an unissued Atlantic album (Farmer with Heath), so it apparently was around before June 1966, and Vick could have picked it up from live performances. Or drummer Mickey Roker could have hipped him to it, since he was also on the unissued Atlantic session!<br /><br />But when you say that "Sessions on those dates are listed as having exactly the same lineup", I must point out that there is actually a small difference. Muse lists the bass player as "Herb Bushler" whereas the RCA session bassist is listed as "Bob Bushnell". However, I think one of them is probably a mistake, since "Bushler" and "Bushnell" are similar and could have been confused. Both have a number of sessions listed in Lord and both recorded in New York around this time, so that gives no obvious hint. If Bushler is indeed the right one, I'm not sure why the RCA files would list Bushnell.<br /><br />One can also wonder where the purported June 1966 date comes from. Perhaps the RCA tapes were smuggled out and used without authorization, and a wrong date was cited at some point to cover up. That could also explain why all original compositions were named differently in 1974.<br /><br />Something I haven't seen anyone mention is that this album is in mono. A RCA session from 1967 would certainly have been recorded in stereo, so why isn't it in stereo here? One reason could be that only the mono tapes were smuggled out. Or that Vick had gotten a rough mono copy at the time of the session. Or there could have been some problem with the stereo recording, that prohibited it from being released by RCA.<br /><br />A lot of speculations, but I can hear no obvious reason why this wouldn't have been released by RCA. It is a pretty good album, actually! Even better would be if someone could dig up the original tapes in the RCA (now Sony vaults) - perhaps in stereo -, and release an expanded edition on CD with the extra tracks added. I can see only one enterprise doing that today, and that would be Mosaic.chuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09679020284295021986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266956345774469059.post-3194870488938632712011-07-16T19:10:10.982+10:002011-07-16T19:10:10.982+10:00Thanks Simon.

I was reading the back of his BlueNote record with Our Miss Brooks on it and Wendell is like "Man Harold Vick is one of the most underrated tenors ever, stop looking at that and just buy it." So I did and I also picked up a record from Big John Patton that he was on, another BlueNote. Loved him for years but didn't here him much except for those CDs and maybe some McDuff records. Anyway I did get Vick a fix from your blog but haven't had a chance to listen to this one much. Anyway the album shuffled onto my iPod at work and I am freaking out because I am hearing some Bish that I didn't know I had. I was like "Damn I didn't know he was on this record" I've been studying Bish hardcore for the past year and didn't realize that he was on here until I heard the solo yesterday on one of the tracks. I just had to come back and thank you for this one. Great Vick and Feldman but also my man Bish. Yes! The Trinity.
