| My copy of Visitation is on a '70s Blue Note 2-lp reissue entitled Paul Chambers and John Coltrane. If you have a turntable it might be worth checking used record shops. The reissue series it came from--all the 2-record sets have the artist's name in big blue letters at the top of the cover and a photo below--seems fairly common and not usually too exorbitantly priced in used stores.
I recently ran across Chambers' Music reissued on CD under Trane's name. Except they took Visitation off it. This made me a little angry when I saw it. I can understand putting Trane's name on a reissue, since it gives them half a chance of selling a few copies, and the title was something like "The Paul Chambers Sessions," so at least PC got a little credit. But why, WHY did they have to take Visitation off the CD just because Trane isn't on it? We bass players don't get any respect, do we? |
