Ornette Coleman The Shape Of Jazz To Come - 2010 WB/Rhino LP Reissue

I want to echo this.

I did end up getting a response from Dr. Rhino and they are refunding the cost of the record plus shipping due to the defect.

Absolutely terrific service from Rhino on this.

I just bought this LP from Elusive Disk with the same distortion with the first song side 1. Did Rhino ever replace anybody's copy?

 

I'm curious about the current release status of the Coleman catalog on Rhino. There's nothing listed on the Rhino website. I bought Change (ST-A-60211-SP) and Our Music (11753) yesterday on transparent red vinyl: one had a Rhino/Scorpio sticker on it. One has a typical Atlantic label, the other has label I've never seen before: a band of color around a white body with a pinwheel graphic in the center. No BG scribe in the runouts: I can't really decipher what appears to be the engineer's scribe. Very nice pressings: quiet, no unfill. Sound seems really nice to me, but I haven't yet compared it to the Shape I purchased a year or so ago and which totally knocked me out.

Of course if I'd just hung on to my 70's-era copies...

Anyone know what I bought?

 

That's interesting... Scorpio pressings can be very hit or miss, but there seems to be some out there that are decent too... I have one of their Blue Notes that I think is pretty good. Mostly I read negative comments about them here though. Which one was the Scorpio, do you remember? Also...since I see you're in Maine...did you happen to pick these up at Bull Moose?

 

Yeah, Bull Moose Middle Street in Portland. I do not recall which of the two was specifically labeled as Rhino/Scorpio.

 

Cool...thanks. Sorry I didn't have any answers for you! I guess they must have both been Scorpio pressings though...both red vinyl...maybe the sticker was just left off one of them?

Thanks for your comments on those. I see there's also a colored vinyl of "Free Jazz"...I may try that one out, I need a copy of that on LP.

 

I bought what I thought was a copy of this on discogs recently, spent quite a bit on it too, turns out it's a 2006 bog standard Atlantic pressing. Gutted! I hope I get a refund.
