• Return to Forever. Romantic Warrior (1976) (έ)
• Return to Forever. Romantic Warrior (1976) (έ)
• Return to Forever. The Anthology (2008) (έ) (5/5; heard Aug-08; the surprise release and get-together of the year; cleverly pinpointing the four key albums of this supergroup. Intriguing that, at the time of Romantic Warrior, they discussed production standards with Steve Howe of Yes, but they never admit to their ELP influences!)
• Return to Forever. Returns (2008) (έ) (3/5; heard Aug-09; surprisingly accurate renderings of many of their best tunes, but I'm annoyed with myself for wanting them to be note-perfect!)

W

• Weather Report. 8:30 (έ) (2/5; listened 15-Sep-07; the grim Erskine era; little to recommend it, apart from 'Scarlet Woman')
• Weather Report. Black Market (1991 remaster) (έ) (4/5; listened 14-Sep-07; Side one is excellent, side two less so. Would be nice to know who is on bass and on drums on each track. Sound is good, especially in the car.)
• Weather Report. Black Market (έ)
• Weather Report. Heavy Weather (1991 remaster) (έ) (4/5; listened 16-Sep-07; Arguably the only Weather Report record in which Side Two is better than Side One—thanks to 'Havona')
• Weather Report. Heavy Weather (1977) (έ)
• Weather Report. I Sing the Body Electric (1972) (έ) (2/5; heard 12-Sep-07—yet to find the groove.)
• Weather Report. Live in Tokyo (έ) (2/5; heard 12-Sep-07—my Zawinul wake—dissonant; what were they on??)
• Weather Report. Mr. Gone (1978) (έ) (1/5; heard 16-Sep-07; pure tosh; whatever did they conclude from the success of Heavy Weather?)
• Weather Report. Mysterious Traveller (έ)
• Weather Report. Mysterious Traveller (2002 remaster) (έ) (5/5; listened 13-Sep-07; one of Weather Report's masterpieces; space, ethnic sounds, rhythms—they found their destiny here.)
• Weather Report. Night Passage (έ) (1/5; heard 17-Sep-07; confirmation that the end was upon us; WR is going 'big band'. Only 'Port of Entry' is decent, and one good track makethnot a good album.)
• Weather Report. Procession (έ) (1/5; heard 25-Sep-07—only the title track is half-decent.)
• Weather Report. Sweetnighter (1996 remaster) (έ) (5/5; listened 13-Sep-07; Outstanding, because the band suddenly realised the importance of rhythm; the bass duel between Vitous and White on 'Boogie Woogie Waltz' is superb.)
• Weather Report. Tale Spinnin' (1994 remaster) (έ) (4/5; listened 14-Sep-07; Underrated; one of the best rhythm sections (cf on 'Between the Thighs'); poor CD notes)
• Weather Report. The Best of ... (2002) (έ) (4/5; listened 22-Sep-07;not perfect—no Scarlet Woman—but the best Weather Report compilation yet)
• Weather Report. The Collection (έ)
• Weather Report. This is This (έ)
• Weather Report. Weather Report (1971) (έ) (2/5; heard 12-Sep-07—Shorter just doesn't get it; he's far too whiney!)
• Weather Report. Domino Theory (1971) (έ) (1/5; heard 20-Sep-07—Report goes crooner. Lost all sense of direction. Zawinul distracted by technology. Tracks 2 and 3 acceptable.)
• Weather Report. Live and Unreleased (1971) (2/5; heard 19-Sep-07—Moribund and unremarkable. Live versions add less than nothing to the originals. If only this had been released 25 years ago.)
