Hi Guys, I started a thread for these albums and will try to list all the links to purchase etc... The idea is to have a central location and dedicated thread for the TBM Supreme Collection 1500:

If not already linked.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Blind_Mice_(record_label)

The link mentions Recording Engineer Mr. Yoshihiko Kannari as being the key Engineer,

Mr. Yoshiko Kannari is now independent and has his own label 'Studio Lion'

 

In this link, Mr. Kannari talks about TBM and is association there. He also mentions FIM, Winston Ma and the relationship about Audiophile recording.

 

Winston Ma who passed away in 2016, apart from being a Audiophile, had shops in HK and also produced huge number of Remastered Audiophiles CD's. Some of which are here. In Asia his FIM disk are Audiophile staple diet. His remastered disk of old jazz standards are arguably sonically superior. Please do look out for FIM, LIM labled discs also (Usually XRXD, SACD, etc).
 

Thanks for the links. 
 

I visited Winston at his home around 2009. He had the best listening room I’ve ever seen.

What a wonderful resource... I've already started collecting SACDs by Tsuyoshi Yamamoto. Incredible music and recording quality!

 

I was considering purchasing the Supreme collection... But I think I'd like to start with music that is similar to Tsuyoshi Yamamoto. For those that are familiar with the Supreme 1500 collection... Could you point me towards artists/albums that consist of only piano, bass, drums, that are vocal free?

 

Thanks so much.

 

I have all 100 Supreme Collection releases to date. Many are fantastic, but there certainly are some I'm not a fan of. 

 

I would check out these, as a starting point, based on your interests. In no specific order.

 

Isao Suzuki Trio - Black Orpheus

Isao Suzuki Trio - Blow Up

Isao Suzuki Quartet - Blue City

Masaru Imaga & George Mraz - Alone Together

Masaru Imaga Trio - Green Caterpillar

Tsuyoshi Yamamoto - Midnight Sugar

Tsuyoshi Yamamoto - Misty

Yoshio Otomo Quartet - Moon Ray

And why oh why are these artists not on streaming platforms. The world is missing out.

Agree. I've talked about this with the HDtracks team a bunch of times. They'd love to have Three Blind Mice as it's a favorite of David Chesky, but finding the right record label / rights holders who are willing to sign-off on allowing this, is impossible. My guess is that streaming is the same.

If anyone wants a taste of the Mario Suzuki album, here's a low quality version.
