Paul Horn's Complete Pre-new age set.

He he. All true. I took a bus to go to Rome from Ladispoli every day for a month. I know what it's like. Great cartoon.

"Me Myself An Eye" is the least interesting Mingus record I've heard, considering the unattainable level of his musicanship.

Bird's Royal Roost sound is pretty atrocious. I got a couple of ESP records. Love 'em.

Stand-up guy. CD delivered super-fast. Thanks.

How do I stop being a PREFERRED MEMBER? I don't want to take cradit cards any longer. That fee thing is bogus plus I just got scammed out of $25 by them. Sold a cd to a guy who used a stolen card. Get this - they deducted the money from MY paypal account, like I was an accomplice of his. Why should I pay for someone who used a stolen card?!!! It's a total rip-off. Obviously their site is a maze. I couldn't find how to drop the "preferred" status. Preferred by PayPal, it should say...

Wake me up when someone picks me.

Where do you register for the AOW Club?

The most alluring quality of RVGs is that they are available.

I sometimes record from vinyl onto mini-disc. Tried declicking, but it was boring. If you have a mini-disc player I can send you some rarities, provided I get a copy of the cleaned-up product. On a side-note, when you record on mini-disc, there's no 16 or 24 or whatever bits. You get the raw product. It's sort of like a reel-to-reel. Just very small.

I'm sure it's a great program; I myself have a Cool-Edit Pro. It's just not worth my time to sit for hours, declicking an LP. I'd rather buy a clean copy for a few bucks more.

I'm a snob? Well, yeah. But how d'you know that? How exactly do you manually de-click the LPs?

I don't buy VG LPs SIGHT UNSEEN[photos mean nothing]. Usually eBay VG grading means that the cat was using the record as a toilet. If the seller grades it as a VG+, it means the cat was using it as a toilet just for a couple of days. There are exceptions. Dan, for me one of the reasons to listen to vinyl is not to use any kind of digital gadgetry. Sound processors, de-clickers, etc. If a record needs all that, it's useless for me. What's the point in taking your records through a digital laundry, when you can just buy a CD?!

eBay vinyl buying lesson No.1 = This is NOT a VG+ record [even though the seller swears it is]

It's sort of an unspoken rule to wait for a fallen rider. No arguements, this is one classy sport. Man, how I wish I had that OLN channel. Armstrong is a much stronger contender for an athlete of the century than Michael Jordan, imo.

Don't forget that the man is riding with one ball. That gives him much more leverage on those steep curves.

It's bizarre, but there's not a single Chapin cd on eBay. A year or two ago there were Chapin boxed sets available day in and day out.

Box doesn't have original covers, just small replicas, doesn't have the original liner notes. But it has a new booklet and an extra disc of live material that was otherwise unavailable on it's own. I hear the sound of that extra disc is not the greatest. Box should cost $40-50. I'd buy 1-2 of his discs[sky Piece and Menagerie Dreams are awesome, especially the Sky Piece, which is an amazing cd, Al is right!], and then, if still interested go for the rest. Or just buy the box.

To my ears these sound much better than most RVGs. I have several dozen of these, and haven't heard a bad VICJ aside from Lem Winchester's disk. I think it was a mfg. defect. Tamaki Beck and Shigeyo Miyamoto do a 1st class remastering job.

Dude, noone plays records on a $20,000 turntable with a $500 cartridge. That'd be unhip. Sounds like you got an anti-audiophile thing going. FYI, audiophiles saved mucho music you listen to today. Many a historic recording exist today only because a nutty collector fished it out of the trash in someone's attic[spandau Ballet not including]. I don't think I have records like that, but I tell you, they sure sound nice on a good turntable.

This obviously got very bad distribution. I had a hard time locating a copy. But it really was worth the search. Rooster Ties summed it: a gem. I see it at the used record stores practically all the time. That good?

Park Avenue Petite, that's me baby, one vote. Blue Mitchell plays it so well. The whole band is simply first rate on Blue Soul. Coincidentally, they play his Minor Vamp, as well as his arrangements of Polka Dots and Horace Silver's Nica's Dream. Petite is a very soulful piece by Golson. Thanks for including it.

Rooster, relax, it's just something i said... doesn't mean it's true. B) Has anyone here gotten a carpal tunnell yet?
