  1. Is the 'Getz meets Chet Baker' Verve cd one that folks would put in the 'essential' category? I'm not familiar with this one. Also, the Getz/Baker personality conflict that was mentioned on AMG......was it really an all out feud, or more of a 'don't crowd me' sort of thing?
  2. Looks like they're getting about $160 for the new Miles 'Seven Steps' box in Japan. Anyone have an idea when it will show up over here....haven't seen it listed as a pre-order? Mosaic's bound to put out a vinyl set as well. 9 Lps sound about right?
  3. Finally found a copy of 'The Rajah' TOCJ and the Pepper 'Complete Surf Ride Plus'.
  4. Sony SICP 620-6(New) Davis,Miles/Seven Steps:The Complete Miles Davis 1963-1964(7CDs) First time I'll have sampled much of the material (7 Steps...Funny Valentine.. In Berlin, etc)...so that should be exciting.
  5. I'm with you on this one. Play disc 10 a good bit for all the 'Flossie Lou' alts..... think I like the 3rd one best.
  6. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4022647331
  7. Wasn't at all obvious until your 2:27 edit.......now it is. B-)
  8. No amount of Mosaic acquisition will ever be able to erase the fact that you've brought friends & family alike such disgrace by jettisoning 'Machine Head' B-)
  9. Been spinning some Kenny Clarke & Lennie McBrowne LPs that arrived today. Ordinarily I'm happy to make due with cd-rs of vinyl...but in this case, I decided that upgrading to the real thing would be a good thing. The two cd-rs of these ones have gotten alot of play 'round here over the years.
  10. Were I to divulge the truth here, there's a chance that I'd be locked-up sporting a clean white jacket w/extra long arms.
  11. Nor am I ...but leaving 80's Liberty BNs with massive dish warps aside, I can't begin to imagine the number of valuable one, perhaps two of a kind historical items are out there in warped..but otherwise decent condition --- maybe it's a bit of political memorabilia (I'm just goofing here) like a 'Trotsky Sings Showtunes' or some Opera recording.. Exceptionally rare items surface from time to time and find their way to the Library of Congress, Library & Archives Canada, Vienna Phonogramm-Archiv, etc...I'd be simply amazed if preservationists hadn't figured a way 'round all this.
  12. Has anyone actually produced a machine that will fix warps? I'm not talking about something that would be available to Joe consumer...but to archives, etc. There's alot of super rare vinyl out there and there must be someplace for collectors and others to turn? Seems like it would be a pretty low tech deal to crank out --- perhaps use copper plates backed with felt or something else that wouldn't adhere to the vinyl...and then make sure that a current was equally distributed throughout. Would take some testing and a bunch of trashed Bay City Rollers LPs to get it right...but sooner of later you'd have to assume that a committed 'tinkerer' could get it right.
  13. Brownie, I agree with you about Powell on the English LP.....'Heavy Soul' is a sweet one indeed. I also like that little bass solo of Martin Revere's on the first track. They say that he played w/J. Watkins and Rouse.....but poor Martin doesn't seem to rank even a footnote over at AMG. They list a Martin Rivera though. Lon, I snapped a quick photo of the re-issue copy...guess they dropped the 'Introducing' bit on these ones. This and the Burns aren't exactly BN eye catching covers...but I like the b/w & a dab of color simplicity of these ones. The 'Warming Up' title is in red.
  14. Picked this one up about 2 years ago and only recently (few nights back actually) gave it some heavy duty spinning. Wow! Pure toe-tapping fun! This one may only be out on vinyl (Dusty Groove carries it from time to time in the $10 range.) ....nothing terribly adventurous just a slew of upbeat, uplifting tunes (like the latiny 'Richie's Dilema') delivered by a great crew: Hutcherson, Mabern, Billy Mitchell, Al Grey, etc..
  15. Bud Shank "New Groove" (Pacific)......does Peacock smoke on 'White Lightnin' or what?!
  16. No problem, Ghost!! I arm-twisted Albertson into issuing some sort of special Dem issue 'safe passage' i.d. badge. It's a little clunky lookin' but it'll do the trick!!
  17. Anyone ever popped into either of these places? Would you recommend one over the other? Doesn't look like there's any outside seating at the first place...any at the 2nd? As always...many thanks. http://www.zumschneider.com/beers.htm http://www.loreleynyc.com/
  18. Well, I decided to get off the dime and send a note to them. Word back is that this is "a real possibility". Apparently the good folks at Mosaic have already had conversations with Gibbs about going down this road....sounds like this one could come together nicely. This'll be a great set!
