Music reviews of The Fruit of Dreams
Music Review: The not quite complete
Rating: 5 Stars
This CD release is NOT complete in that 2 tracks are missing from "Ports of Pleasure": "Bangkok Cock Fight" and "Spice Islands Sea Birds". As the STEREO version of this album was used, those 2 tracks do not appear due to the Stereo mastering of early Capitol albums. A lot of early Capitol stereo albums are short 2 tracks from their mono counterparts.Sometimes the complete album WAS recorded in Stereo and the tracks with the best fit(due to stereo mastering) were chosen but leaving 2 tracks in the can- this also explains why the CD tracks do not match the mono track order. (See [...] for complete details in their Les Baxter Discography). Despite this, I bought the CD as I don't have the majority of these tracks. (Some are available on the "Exotic Moods of Les Baxter" 2CD set on Capitol, including one of the missing "Ports of Pleasure" tracks, "Spice Islands Sea Birds" which is the mono version).
Needle noise and LP source materials were not noticable to me.
It would be nice if Capitol or Collectors Choice would do some 2-fers of Les Baxter to experience a proper reissue of this material. For now, this CD is good to help fill some Les Baxter gaps on CD.
On other web sites for this title, it is listed as a 24 track CD with the 2 missing titles listed above as being on the CD. So, unless there are 2 different copies of this CD available, there is only the 22 track version available.
