Finally, the McCoy Tyner LP with Phyllis Hyman

[keefelc]

Finally coming out on CD, McCoy Tyner's "Looking Out" album! This album is the one with Phyllis Hyman singing on three tracks that some of us have been waiting a looooooong time to be released on CD. Wounded Bird Records is releasing the CD (which I believe originally came out on Columbia) on August 15, 2006. :D

That's good news indeed. Some of those tracks were available on a Phyllis Hyman best of import from Japan. Wounded Bird has also issued atleast one Elektra album from Jimmy Smith from around that time period.

I only just noticed this thread; only yesterday I was going through my 'wishlist' of LPs released in '82 that I'm waiting to be released on CD (there are dozens!) & this was one of 'em!:-P I've never actually heard anything from it (I saw it reviewed in Blues & Soul mag!) but I'll buy anything with Phyllis Hyman on & I love jazz-fusion too. So is it as good as I always thought it would be?

Many obscure Phyllis Hyman tracks where released on an Expansion Cd In between the heartaches: soul of a diva. It includes unreleased tracks, alternate versions, rare soundtracks work like that from the Fish that saved Pittsburgh soundtrack and Miss Hyman as a guest starring on other's albums.

Why are her CDs so over-priced? :sad:

[eddie]

That In Between the heartaches album is probably now out of print. Her PIR stuff has just been reissued on Westside/Sequel. Typically if a classic soul or disco title goes out of print, its worth big bucks especially if those songs can't be found elsewhere.

Phylis Hyman was a brilliant singer and anything she has recorded is worht checking out - I'll give this one a look!
