Verve digitally releases out-of-print albums
I couldn't find this anywhere else, though maybe it's in the MP3 thread:
"Dance like it hurts. Love like you need money. Work when people are watching."

The "Available Exclusively At iTunes!" lines lead me to believe it's 128 aac files with DRM... BOOOOO.

The Verve Vault topic has shown up in a couple of threads. But, it deserves its own thread, so I am glad you made one.Swifty wrote:I couldn't find this anywhere else, though maybe it's in the MP3 thread:

iTunes adds new titles once a month, mid to late in the month.
It would be nice if at least some of the posts on this thread dealt with the music contained in the Verve Vault albums and not just yet another version of the MP3/AAC discussion, which can be found elsewhere.

Re: Verve digitally releases out-of-print albums
That part happens to be key to the discussion since this music has been re-released ONLY in this format... a format that I think many of us deem worthless.Nate Dogg wrote: It would be nice if at least some of the posts on this thread dealt with the music contained in the Verve Vault albums and not just yet another version of the MP3/AAC discussion, which can be found elsewhere.
That page does however give us a nice shopping list to take to our favorite location used record shop where I'm sure some of these albums can still be found in CD form (as I've got a few of them myself.)

They just put out a new batch of Verve Vault albums.
There is a Basie album called "Basie Land", you can find a used import version on Amazon for $25 right now.
Listening to the samples, the most dancer friendly songs seem to be
Instant Blues
Sassy
Yuriko
However, at least based on the 30 second samples, when comparing these tracks to other songs in the Basie catalog, I don't think I would play them in place of more available selections.
But, samples can be misleading sometimes.
AMG Review
Originally released in 1963.
Review by Scott Yanow
Billy Byers was given the task of writing ten numbers for the Count Basie Orchestra to interpret, and he proved very much up to the job. None of these originals became standards, but with the tenors of Frank Foster and Eric Dixon, and trumpeter Al Aarons taking solo honors, and the classic Basie rhythm section swinging lightly but with passion, this album succeeds easily.

Great album.
We sell the remaster version for 30$ Can.
Check the re edition of these albums:
Sammy Davis Jr & Carmen Mc Rae : Boy meets Girl
Ernie Andrews: This is Ernie Andrews
Ella Fitzgerald: Hello Dolly (With her version of Can't buy me love)
The month of September is really a slow month for the music industry.
The month of November is THE month for the new re edition to come out (It's the Holiday time)
