i dunno...i kinda think Soulstation's sig files pretty much explain a lot...

How many of us are chewing gum while reading this?

Do we have a record for the number of people reading one topic? (15 in this case)

That's OK. Rust Never Sleeps.

Dowd was incredible - a great loss... -_-

Tenner? (hmmm me thinks I was taken for a ride...)

...and they're back in original hands!

Well, after you take the outer wrap off, you'll have no info on the front cover. I suppose that's OK in some circumstances - the artwork itself looks good, but it just doesn't work for me from a practical point of view...and wait til you get to the booklets! Here, tell me which titles are these by looking at the covers:

Not knowing how the original releases looked, I assume the CD slipcases represent the original front covers, yes? But the back is not what they looked like on the backside, originally? These are different. I don't have any of my 4 or 5 copies of Phase One handy right now and the closest thing I could find online was the picture that they used for the cover:

It seems that the server that the person was using is either down or no longer has those samples, (according to the message that pops up). So, to answer your question, it appears that it's not just you.

Stereophonic Sound 1932 - March 12 Stokowski recorded his first stereo disc, Scriabin's "Poem of Fire" for Bell Labs in Philadelphia using vinyl rather than shellac, with the dynamic range extended to 60 db and response to 10,000 hz. The master disc was gold-coated by vacuum-sputtering. At first, for the Scriabin recording March 12, Bell had recorded two separate grooves for each channel, but later Arthur Keller in the patent #2,114,471 described the 45/45 method in one groove. The patent application was not filed until 1936 because Bell did not see an immediate commercial application of the method. Keller was unaware of Blumlein until the 1950s when his 45/45 system was re-invented by Westrex. 1933 - April 27 Stereoscopic sound was transmitted to the National Academy of Sciences and many invited guests at Constitution Hall, Washington. Transmission was over wire lines from the Academy of Music in Philadelphia and three channels were used with microphones respectively at left, center and right of the orchestra stage and loud speakers in similar positions in Constitution Hall. The orchestra in Philadelphia was conducted by Alexander Smallens while Dr. Stokowski in Washington manipulated the controls so as to enhance the music in accordance with his own views. 1934 - Jan. 19 Alan Blumlein recorded Thomas Beecham at the Abbey Road Studio in stereo, conducting Mozart's "Jupiter Symphony" with a vertical-lateral technique using a stylus to vibrated in 2 directions, first recording one channel of sound in a groove laterally and then recording another channel of sound in the same groove vertically. 1940 - Harvey Fletcher and Stokowski made another stereophonic demonstration at Carnegie Hall April 9 and 10, with recorded stereo music from a three-channel system using sound on film with a frequency range of 30 to 15,000 cps and a volume range of 120 decibels. A 4th track was used as a loudness playback control track. The New York Times reported April 10 "Sound Waves 'Rock' Carnegie Hall As Enhanced Music' Is Played" and "The loudest sounds ever created crashed and echoed through venerable Carnegie Hall last night as a specially invited audience listened, spellbound, and at times not a little terrified." 1945 - Decca's early stereo LPs used a Teldec/Neumann Stereo cutter to record one channel lateral and another vertical, each on the opposite wall of a groove; but the dual tracks could not be reproduced with heavy mono pickups on the turntables and record players. 1949 - General Motors asked Magnecord to make a stereo tape recorder to improve spatial analysis of automobile noise. Magnecord modified its PT-6 tape recorder that had been introduced in May 1948 at the National Association of Broadcasters show. This modified recorder was introduced at the 1949 Audio Fair in New York with two record/play heads 1.5 inches apart, each with its own amplifier. 1951 - Emory Cook made the first stereo recordings of railroad trains in the field for the LP titled "Rail Dynamics" demonstrated at the 1951 Audio Fair in New York.

I received the 40th anniversary box as a gift, and that's mostly Atlantic stuff ... it was a nice present, but it didn't inspire me to get anything else by them. I've seen that set, but for some reason I thought that it was all live material - various concerts celebrating 40 years together, etc.. That certainly would be a lot wouldn't it? I'll look again at it. I have a soft spot for them, especially Lewis' comps. Just looking for an all-arounder from that period.

AMG (Four and a half) I picked this up last Thursday, but haven't listened yet. Just going on what I heard at one of the store's "listening stations."

Hey Mr. Bo Peep! Click on the link and then looky to yer left and you'll see the "main menu" - look for "Suggest Artist" and click. You'll see a pull down and you have to go waaaaaaaaaay down to the "O"s and you'll see it there.

Of course, I've mentioned my absolute LOVE of "Phase One" and I'm sorry to hear that the AEC didn't get their payment for "Certain Blacks", but I'm wondering what folks think of the artwork on these releases. Scribbles and splatterings all over the things that make 'em look just awful! I had some of them in the seat next to me while driving the other evening and I could hardly tell which was which when I looked over to change one out.

I always see the Prestige/Pablo box, but is there really not an Atlantic box out?

Did my part

I swear! There's definitely something in the Organissimo water!!!

Yeah, well thank god for those single limits... you might just start seeing... uh, wait.......

WOW! Austin's changed since I was there last! Happy B-Day!

Do they serve beer at Disney World?

Sad, but it took me a sec to realize he wasn't serious! me too - just about the time that i got to the last one...

This one?

Did she blame the band for the kidnapping? ROFL!!!
