I have quite a few jazz CDs (mostly OJCs) that have 2 or 3 takes of the same song in a row. Usually when I play music, I like to just spin the album in it's entirety. And I don't usually relish hearing the same song 3 times in a row. I know I can program the CD player to skip the unwanted tracks, but it's a bit of a pain. The least they could do is tack on the extra stuff at the end of the album to preserve continuity.
Follow Ups:
one thing i do like is the non released non duplicate cuts you get. a lot of times those non released cuts are worthy. they actually release the full session in some cases and release stuff that just wouldn't fit on one record and too little for two.that's a win.
It's listening to 3 versions of the same song in a row that's slightly annoying to me.
Agree and agree.I've also done the cd 'program' thing to make a less repetitive mix of track alternates.
But it goes against the convenience aspect of cd to have to sit there with the track list,
punching buttons and programming tracks before you can get to play the (harmonically-bleached-digital) music ...
Doesn't it ?Just realized now, though --- why not just punch Shuffle for these multiple-alternates discs ?
You might still get side-by-side repeats occasionally, but at least you wouldn't have to program every time...
hey Bobbo,i'm afraid we have to agree to disagree here ;-)
This is a + for the Cd format IMHO. For the same(or even less) money you get more music, the alternate takes. Ok you hear the same theme again but after that it's all improvisation, it's jazz you know. OTOH with the Lp you get the original front cover, back cover with the little B/W photos that always get lost with the Cd reissue. Ok the later OJC's are probably digitally remastered but i have several both on CD and LP, i prefer the Lp for sound.
"The torture never stops"
... it's the order in which they're put. I don't mind the extra tracks, and sometimes they're even a welcome bonus. In the case of duplicate tracks, I just think at the end of the regular album sequence would be a better place for them. In many cases, track sequence is a carefully thought out part of the original album experience, and I just like to preserve that original sequence.But I realize I may be an overly anal fusspot. ;-)
