5 Original Albums

The music is 5 stars, but the copy I received did not include any of the liner notes as advertised. It's not a true duplicate of the original LP -- the back of each CD sleeve only has the song titles. Very disappointing since part of the charm of this product is the ability to read the original liner notes.

JIMMY SMITH 5 Original Albums (Blue Note) 5CD Box setCD 1A NEW SOUND A NEW STAR JIMMY SMITH AT THE ORGANwithJimmy Smith (organ), Thornel Schwartz (guitar), Donald Bailey (drums).A 7 track album recorded March 1956 is a real rarity! It includes 4 Jimmy Smith originals and three covers. I checked the detail on this album and apparently it is the second Jimmy Smith album released with the title A NEW SOUND A NEW STAR. According to the CD face and back sleeve this record has for this edition been confusingly re-titled THE CHAMP. The sound on this CD is excellent and all Jimmy Smith lovers , me included, are sure to lap it up. This is a CRUCIAL Jimmy Smith album.CD 2JIMMY SMITH'S HOUSE PARTY - JIMMY SMITHRecorded at two sessions in 1957 & 1958 and remastered for CD by RVG in 24 bit CD in 2000. There are two killer sessions on this wonderful album featuring top class Blue Note All Star musicians, and everything on this disc sounds terrific.. This record should have a much wider appeal than most other Jimmy Smith albums from the period. It is highly recommended.CD 3JIMMY SMITH PLAYS FAT WALLERwithJimmy Smith (organ), Quentin Warren (guitar), Donald Bailey (drums).Originally recorded on January 23, 1962. This is a mono recording. All transfers from analog to digital made at 24-bit resolution in 2008 by RVG. Maybe not to everyone's taste but I have no issues with the lovely cheesy organ sound on this recording. I think it suits these Fats selections to a tee.CD 4 & CD 5THE INCREDIBLE JIMMY SMITH AT CLUB "BABY GRAND" WILMINGTON, DELAWARE Vol. 1&THE INCREDIBLE JIMMY SMITH AT CLUB "BABY GRAND" WILMINGTON, DELAWARE Vol. 2withJimmy Smith (organ), Thornel Schwartz (guitar), Donald Bailey (drums).Recorded Aug 4th 1956. Here are two fine live Trio albums that are really no more than a showcase for Jimmy as he stretches out on some intense and extended organ vamps. Most of the selections on both discs have an average running time of around 10 minutes or so.All 5 albums are in separate single cardboard sleeves and have a narrow blue band round the front of the covers. There is no booklet or sleeve notes but you will find on the back of the sleeves all relevant track information, recording dates and mastering credits. The sound on all discs is as good as you could wish for.The box set was issued in 2018 by Universal Classics & Jazz, a division of Universal Music Italia. All discs are genuine, so no worries about clones or CD-Rs.This 5 CD certainly is excellent value for money. Just check the stand alone CD prices for any of these individual titles and you will see what a super bargain this box set is.Amazon have incorrectly stated on the product page this box set is on Decca but it is all exclusively Blue Note recordings.* It should be noted this is the second 5CD Blue Note budget box by Jimmy Smith with the title 5 ORIGINAL ALBUMS. The other box set has a red cover.https://smile.amazon.co.uk/5-Original-Albums-Jimmy-Smith/dp/B079229SL9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1GITCVW2X66B2&keywords=jimmy+smith+5+original&qid=1643298876&s=music&sprefix=jimmy+smith+5+original%2Cpopular%2C67&sr=1-3
