Warners PREMIUM COLLECTION In Conjunction With HMV UK in NUMBER and ALPHABETICAL ORDER (BLU RAY Reissues 2016 to 2021) - A List by Mark Barry...

Warner Brothers 'Premium Collection' BLU RAY Reissue Series 

In Conjunction With HMV UK (releases 2016 to 2021)

TWO LISTS

SPINE NUMERICAL ORDER (First)

TITLES in ALPHABETICAL ORDER (Second)

(Both accurate to 15 Nov 2021)...

Usually each one of these British-based reissues contains a BLU RAY, a DVD (increasingly none in 2020 and 2021 issues), a Digital Download Code (with Ultraviolet), an Exclusive Outer Glossy Slipcase, Four Art Cards and a Poster (usually the Theatrical version). 

While the attractive outer card slipcase is generic to ALL of them - the inserts thing can be erratic and increasingly as the series progresses and DVDs in the packages are thinning out completely.

Inserts - you will notice that two of the three Stanley Kubrick reissues in 2019 for "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), "Barry Lyndon" (1975) and "Full Metal Jacket" (1987) infuriatingly don’t have art cards or a poster. While BL does - the first and third of that trio are each screaming out for both. You will need to check each entry to find out what's what. I've taken the info from the discs themselves to ensure accuracy. 

The Entire Series is numbered on the silver spine with the year of the film's release above that number (as per the list below). Begun in October 2016 - releases are ongoing into summer of 2021 (despite the pandemic, there were releases in 2020 and they continue into 2021). And while some have been available in the USA, many titles are first time on BLU RAY in the UK and Europe. As of 7 June 2021, the British-released series will have built up 143 titles with all of the BLU RAYS sporting Region A, B and C codes - all regions.

Also with HMV's online presence and mail-order capacity all but disappeared since they supposedly went into liquidation, you can either get these in person at a UK HMV store or from EBAY. Our store in Westgate for instance has everyone as a '2 for £25' offer. I mention this because collectors will have noticed that the HMV site claims they're sold out - so opportunist sellers on eBay are often charging high prices for something you can get in a HMV store (if you can find one) for £12.50 each on that twofer deal. Some late 2018 titles like "Krull" and "Time After Time" are already proving hard to find (see Krull reissue details, No. 83)...

To date (15 Nov 2021) I have reviewed "Amistad", "Bad Day At Black Rock" and "The Big Sleep". 

Here are the lists (149 titles in each to November 2021):

"Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs Present THREE DAY WEEK: When The Lights Went Out 1972-1975" by VARIOUS (March 2019 Ace CD Remasters) - A Review by Mark Barry...

"...Ordinary..." 

Reading the blurb on the rear inlay that accompanies this fourth themed compilation from Messer's Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs (the compilers) - I can dig the idea for sure - I just wish I could dig the music because as far as I'm concerned much of this is either schlock or just plain boring - or worse - unlistenable. Here goes...

UK released Friday, 29 March 2019 - "Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs Present THREE DAY WEEK: When The Lights Went Out 1972-1975" by VARIOUS ARTISTS on Ace CDCHD 1542 (Barcode 029667093927) is a 26-Track CD and 28-Track 2LP compilation that plays out as follows (CD, 77:06 minutes):

1. Part Of The Union [1972 Demo] - THE BROTHERS (Strawbs)

2. Ordinary Boy - SMALL WONDER

3. The Hertfordshire Rock - RICKY WILDE

4. When Work Is Over - THE KINKS

5. Sailing - THE SUTHERLAND BROTHERS

6. In Your Life - ADAM FAITH

7. Londonderry - PHIL CORDELL

8. Cut Loose - STUD LEATHER

9. I'm On Fire - THE TROGGS

10. Kill - MICHAEL McGEAR

11. And The Fun Goes On - LIEUTENANT PIGEON

12. Open Up - MUNGO JERRY

13. Rod - MATCHBOX

14. Urban Guerrilla - HAWKWIND

15. Homes Fit For Heroes - EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND

22. Northern Soul Dancer - WIGAN'S OVATION

23. Don't Ride A Paula Pillion - STAVELY MAKEPEACE

24. War Against War - PHEON BEAR

25. Roly Pin - ROLY

26. Stardust - DAVID ESSEX

The 2LP set has two extra tracks - "You Turn Me On" by THE TROLL BROTHERS and "I Feel So Down" by BARRACUDA

The 24-page booklet is the usual feast of period photos while the audio is care of long-time Ace Records Audio associate NICK ROBBINS – the usual mixture of great vs. good.

It opens promisingly enough - a 1972 demo of The Strawbs doing "Part Of The Union" (as The Brothers) - a rarity that turned up on the 5CD Box Set "A Taste Of Strawbs" in 2006. But that promise is quickly dashed by the dire "Ordinary Boy" from some no marks called Small Wonder (a small wonder it was released). Ricky Wilde is worse. And on it goes – song after song. But there has to be a special place in Hell for The Troggs doing dreck like "I'm On Fire" where we're informed she's 'a natural sex machine' – the lyrics snarled man (and not in jest) behind some awful rocking guitar - horrid. Phil Cordell's "Londonderry" is possibly the worst produced recording I've ever heard and appears only to be included here because of its city title and the times in which its set. Mike McGear's "Kill" is full of 'give us war, give us pain' and mentions of the IRA - but while its intentions are clearly in earnest, it's a woeful listen - no tune to deliver the message. The fuzz-guitar of "And The Fun Goes On" by the mouldy old dough merchants Lieutenant Pigeon is a pointless stomper instrumental like Slade forgot to include words. 

Mungo Jerry provide a slight uplift with their boogie "Open Up" as does Hawkwind singing about empires falling while Edgar Broughton tells of beating up prisoners and dockyard workers fighting for their rights - but Wigan's Ovation is an abomination I never want to hear again. And don’t get me started on Stavely Makepeace and his turkey “Don’t Ride A Paula Pillion” – a song that has to be some kind of sick joke. It thankfully ends with David Essex doing his pop-idol David Bowie moment “Stardust” which at least feels like half a tune.

I normally love Ace reissues, but I strongly urge the uninitiated to nab a listen before purchase so you can hear what you're letting yourself in for rather than being suckered by nostalgia (and what is that cover photo supposed to be about?) A rare drop of the reissue ball by Ace no matter how worthy the initial idea seemed...

"Tears Of Joy/Connection" by DON ELLIS (December 2017 Beat Goes On Reissue - 2LPs onto 2CDs - Andrew Thompson Remasters) - A Review by Mark Barry...

This and 100s more review like it available in my e-Book:

"...Euphoric..."

What you get here is the last two albums Big Band Leader and Jazz Trumpeter Don Ellis made for Columbia Records (USA) - one being a full double-album from 1971 of new material recorded over several nights live at the legendary Basin Street West Jazz Club in San Francisco - and the other, a 1972 single studio album of contemporary covers augmented with three new songs. Both albums are newly remastered here in 2017 from licensed Sony tapes - with the first's running order split across two CDs in order to make it fit without audio compromise.

A collection of contemporary cover versions across a wild scope of genres (Gilbert O'Sullivan to Yes, The Carpenters to The Crusaders), the second album "Connection" has probably Don Ellis' most sought after crossover moment – his jagged yet funky original theme to the ultimate gritty cop chase movie "The French Connection" starring Gene Hackman (Frog 1 baby).

But there's so much more - the fabulously inventive and superbly recorded and played "Tears Of Joy" 2LP set is rated by fans as one of his best – seventeen minutes of "Strawberry Soup" baby. And man does it all sound good too (England's Beat Goes On (BGO) has done a top job as usual). Here are the euphoric details...

UK released 15 December 2017 (22 December 2017 in the USA) - "Tears Of Joy/Connection" by DON ELLIS on Beat Goes On BGOCD 1317 (Barcode 5017261213174) offers two albums (one a double, the other a single) Remastered in full onto 2CDs that play out as follows:

Tracks 3 to 13 are the single album "Connection" - released November 1972 in the USA on Columbia KC 31766.

The card slipcase lends the reissue an air of class and the 20-page booklet comes resplendent with new MATT PHILLIPS  (Musician and Founder of soundsosurprise.com and movingtheriver.com) and all the original artwork including the song-by-song notes from Ellis that adorned the inner gatefold of the mammoth "Tears Of Joy" double. It's nicely done with new Remasters from BGO's long-standing Audio Engineer ANDREW THOMPSON. These CDs sound great - the new transfers bringing out the best of the original Don Ellis and Phil Macy production values. To the Jazz...

Although "Tears Of Joy" was recorded live (climaxing a US tour) – such is the restraint of the crowd – you'd barely notice. But don't let that make you think the performances are too staid or po-faced reverential. If you want to know how a band 'cooks' – check out the staggering syncopation of the ensemble on "5/4 Getaway" – eight minutes of trumpet and horns merging – the two drummers Ralph Humphrey and Ron Dunn giving in some solo time before the whole group keeps it tight-tight to the end followed by whoops from a clearly geared-up crowd (sticks man Humphrey would join Zappa and his band just after this). From that and the wildness of the Sam Falzone contribution of "Get It Together" – we feel the complete contrast of "Quiet Longing" – a lone trumpet with some strings - sounding just like its title – images of a lone hombre on the range aching for his love as he stares up at the stars in the stillness of the night.

"Blues In Elf" begins in a reverential classical mode until piano player Milcho Leviev (much to the mirth of the crowd who spot the clever mood change) gets all sloppy New Orleans on its ass. Leviev is later joined by a string section and Don Ellis on Trumpet, the combo of which suddenly turning the initial Jazz Blues rhythm into something way cooler and more 1971-contemporary. "Loss" is equally beautiful and its complex string arrangements buffering off the trumpets and horns gives it a sort of magnificence that is truly epic. The hank Levy composition "Samba Bajada" that ends Side 3 feels like Santana crossbreeding with a Big Band by way of Herb Alpert – its eleven minutes again displaying amazing virtuosity from the whole ensemble (joyful stuff). Side 4 offers us two – an epic 17:38-minutes of "Strawberry Soup" where a lone sad cello is followed by cascading flute but is soon thrown into pure Zappa experimental territory – the band still managing to sound musical as it sounds at times like "The French Connection" – the extended car chase.

The predominantly covers album "Connection" opens with a very clever choice – Joe Sample’s fabulously funky and groovy "Put In Where You Want It" – an instrumental from the "Crusaders 1" double-album on Blue Thumb Records released only months earlier in 1972. Never one to take the easy route, Ellis then unfortunately embarks on an unwise cover of Gilbert O'Sullivan's mega hit "Alone Again (Naturally)" but instead of sounding cool, his version feels destined for some horrible elevator somewhere (going down). His takes on the Jesus Christ Superstar title track is a bit better as is the lesser-heard Procol Harum single "Conquistador", but you can't help racing towards that real moment of cool – his jerky theme to "The French Connection" movie – very groovy stuff indeed. Another smart choice is his suitably brass-bopping take on the Fragile track "Roundabout" – a Yes cover that even features some Rick Wakeman copycat keyboard sounds.

The double is a wonder, a genuinely great release that's unfairly forgotten now while the 1972 platter may have been cool-ish back in the day, but sounds the most dated of the two despite its odd moments of brilliance. Still with presentation and great audio, this is another stellar five-star winner form BGO. Dig in and get connected...
