Many of those K2 remasters are now regularly showing up on Ebay (search for "VICJ" in the description) from asian sellers at low prices ($8-11). Most of them have not been released in the US K2 series. I like their sound (compared to the regular OJCs) and the packaging. True.....they're out there but they're not necessarily going for low prices. I bid on (and lost) two of them (a Pepper & an Evans) over the past several days that topped out at $22+. No reason to go and spend more than that on these ones when the new DSD discs are set to appear in March & April. BTW, in my case....both sellers were in the U.S. Most of those $9.99 ones appearing in China aren't K2s are they?

I've been on there since '99 and still think that, despite some flaws, it's the best thing going. Boycott? Um, no.

I hear they're now test marketing overseas in Paris-Match and Réalités. Yum....tastes like Poulet!!

So that's the bench where you hatched the entertaining '3 Cubans, 2 angry Frenchmen, and a Pee Wee Marquette look-alike in a pear tree all firing from the grassy knoll' theory you were kicking around here a few years ago? Cool.....I need to give that bench a whirl and see what wild shit I can dream up!!!!! Thanks for the suggestion......and don't forget to leave a small cooler of Beck's for me under the seat!

Come on, Chris…get moving with that dolly!! ..and be careful with those kegs! Only 4 more flights to go!!! Put some muscle into it!! You've barely broken a sweat! …and remember, you still need to come back down and carry up the 15 lb sacks of Fritos and Honey Mustard Pretzels!!!

H) Stick around for the next week's band at the Vanguard Yes, a fine idea!!! .....but the question is: will Chris A. be able to put up with me for an entire week if I crash at his place? I don't think he's going to like having to run out for various supplies at all hours of the day & nite in order to keep me happy whilst I lounge about the place and soak up culture.

How about 'Meets The Rhythm Section'? Can you rate that one? good, bad ...ugly?????? ......or the Kenny Drew Trio?

Last weekend of the month. I can only hit 2 -- possibly 3 -- shows. I was thinkin' C, E & F.........but then again D is lookin' good, as is __. Which ones? ...... aaargh!! A) Ravi Coltrane Quartet (Birdland) B) Charles McPherson Quintet (Jazz Standard) C) Kendra Shank (w/Frank Kimbrough & Dean Johnson) (55 Bar) D) 'The Music of Henry Mancini' (Joe Locke, Geoff Keezer, Kenny Washington) (Dizzy's Club Cola) E) Teddy Charles Quintet (Village Vanguard) F) Buster Williams Quartet (w/Lenny White, Steve Wilson, George Colligan) (Smoke) G) Spyro Gyra (Blue Note) Naaaaaaaaaaaa.

This is just like Pearl Harbor,” one of the men said. The other asked, “What is Pearl Harbor?” Oh no.. Pearl Harbor!! Reminds me of the Starbucks 'experience' I had in 2005. (Post #4) http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=21193

He didn't send one out.......shall we stage a boycott in protest? Start here. Looks like there are 7 or 8 pages worth. http://www.hmv.co.jp/search/index.asp?sort...mp;formattype=1

....here's one on the HMV list that I bet no one has? Gigi Gryce CD Gigi Gryce & Jazz Love Quintet Regular price (tax inc.): ¥1,100 Add to wishlist Availability: Out Soon - current release date is 18 Jun 2008

Another good deal is the upcoming release of 150 or so OJC titles for 1,100 Yen ($10) on May 21 & June 18. Some of 'em, like the Mal-3 & Mal-4, Junior Cook/Blue Mitchell, Paul Gonsalves and Rene Thomas are no longer at CD Universe.......though they're probably hanging around somewhere else. Farmer/Byrd '2 Trumpets' isn't as readily available.......sure wish they'd release '3 trumpets' again.

If it's what I think it is, the budget series was released late last year (Nov or Dec?) with a 1,000 yen price tag.....with titles like the Dodo you mentioned plus a bunch of others like Prez w/O. Peterson, Max Roach, Ella Fitgerald, Michel Legrand, George Shearing, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, etc. (a good number of titles, actually.....maybe 50+?)

Yes indeed....the recent pair (on Eighty-Eight's) of live Birdland recordings are excellent.

Universal FRGJ 2003(New)SACD Fuller,Larry/Easy Walker 3000 Well, the original Larry Fuller cover sure got a, um facelift in Japan when it went SACD. Is the sonic upgrade equally impressive?

What I woke up to this morning... Pretty good that a guy his age could scale that wall and maintain his balance on the ledge. What the heck did you do when you saw him out there brandishing that piece, Chris????? I wonder how he got your address????

I think I may have posted a similar article here about privy diving a year or two ago in which they talked about how the 'pros' know when they are close to reaching the bottom of the pit when they hit what's called the 'seed layer' -- apparently, over time, all of the undigested seeds slowly make their way down, down, down... A good way to find them is by looking for old clusters of lilac or other fragrant bushes that often were planted close by to help mask the odor. Some of the older relatives in MN have old ones on the various properties and one of 'em told me last summer about seeing his father-in-law toss an antique handgun into one in the late 50's. Might be a bit too 'fresh' to go diving for that little gem.....but then again, no telling what I might do if I happen to go well over my hops & barley limit some night this summer.

Yes, it is a nice air conditioner.....how many BTUs you think it is?

Wulfman, no sales since '04? We know that you're holding back on a treasure trove of stuff that we need. ......so come on, start selling!!

I dunno......but the way you're dressed, just make sure that when you land the NBC job next week, you don't even say the word 'Chelsea'!!
