Here in Connecticut it just went to over $2. I said to myself, "I'm not gonna pay $2 a gallon for as long as I can. Ahh, here's a place where it's $1.97. That's not $2, ha, ha! Time to pretend to be sticking it to the man!" It's wasn't until I started filling that I noticed I grabbed the premium pump by accident @ $2.13 a gallon.

Bright Moments, where were you????

Yeah, it counts down minus 2 seconds between each track. Side 4 of Audio Dream is still there. it's 12:41 long. As I made sure to be doing something else while waiting for it, it scared the shit out of me when it came on. I figured that was the desired respone.

Here's an email I just got from Hyena Records after I passed along my feelings about the Collectables label: Dave, Thanks for writing. First off, you learned the hard way to never buy anything from Collectables. They have no intention of serving the music. It's like a chop shop. Secondly, I'll pass your email along to Joel Dorn, but there is nothing whatsoever he can do about it. He hasn't worked for Atlantic records since the mid-70s. As I'm sure you know, Atlantic is owned by Warner Music Group, which up until a few months ago was part of AOL, and still remains a mega corporation. Joel Dorn is so far off their radar to not even be existant when it comes to the masters they issue to licensing labels for reissue. Even if he were to complain about them mis-representing his original productions, it would mean exactly nothing to them. It's a drag, but unfortunately it's the reality of the situation. If it were Rhino reissuing those records, he could have more say, but the licensing to other labels is a lost cause. If you're a Rahsaan fan, you should check out Compliments of The Mysterious Phantom on HYENA. It's a live recording from '74 in San Diego. It's must have Rahsaan! Stay tuned and keep in touch.

Just wanted to let people know I just picked up 3-Sided Audio Dream on Collectables and this also has 2 seconds of silence between tracks that run together. DO NOT BUY THESE!!!

That's cheaper than you'll get it on ebay.

Well, there's another Mercury box on ebay Evan...I mean, Bright Moments.

I've seen it at Borders. Amazon or Half.com should have it if you don't mind used.

As sure as someone who has both versions can be. The reviewer obviously didn't listen to it and took the info from somewhere else, or just made it up. Here's the times on the Water reissue: 1. Roots (4:12) 2. Here Comes The Whistleman (5:42) (spoken intro before this song which starts it's countdown at about -1:38 or so) 3. I Wished On The Moon (6:02) (another spoken intro before this song, not as long as previous, I forget the timing, but starts in the negative numbers) 4. Making Love After Hours (4:22) 5. Yesterdays (4:08) 6. Aluminum Baby (6:12) 7. Step Right Up (4:48) The total time of the M reissue & the Water reissue are 1 second apart. Check your own track 6 & 7 for the times. I don't know where they came up with the two 4:41 times, but the whistleman track could've been a dislexic mistake, but the bonus track times match up with track 6 & 7. A lot of CD have incorrect timings printed on them. How, don't know. That always amazes me. Especially if that was the first cd issue and lots of albums had wrong timings and weren't fixed until cds came along.

Well, I can straighten this whole thing out now. I have the Water reissue & the M reissue. There are NO BONUS TRACKS! What happened is the M label numbering of tracks doesn't match up with the cd because 2 tracks are just between song chatter IDed as tracks. l p is right with the titles of the "extra tracks". The Water reissue put the chatter as countdowns to the next track instead so the track numbering matches up. Oh well...

I bought a used copy of Max Roach's Speak Brother Speak for like $10 total, and it's signed by Max Roach. He drew a small drumset with MR on the bass drum. The date he wrote is 4/22/94. I emailed the seller to ask if he knew what he sold me, but he didn't respond. Oh well.

& just for you impossible, this is my 257th post, which is also my member number!

HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY, JOY!!!

Thanks for the info on the box set.

Is the 32 jazz release (Aces Back To Back) like an actual box set, or is it just the indiviual discs put together in a box?

Does anyone have this? Mine has 2 seconds of silence between tracks, while fine for a studio album, half of this is live. I called the label & they said that's how the Atlantic master was sent to them. I just want to check if that's true.

Don't know how long they take jacknife but I haven't received your pm yet.

Like Pink Floyd.

I just bought the reissue on Water & I saw on CD Universe that it listed 2 hidden tracks, but mine doesn't have them. Which issue are those on?

OK Eric, break out the credit card. Here's the best stuff: GBV 1. Bee Thousand (tie-best) 2. Alien Lanes (tie-best) 3. Propeller 4. Mag Earwig 5. Fast Japanese Spin Cycle (EP) Pollard solo 1. Not In My Airforce 2. Waved Out 3. Speak Kindly of your Volunteer Fire Dept. (best) 4. Choreographed Man Of War Side projects 1. Lexo & The Leapers-Ask Them (EP) 2. Go Back Snowball-Calling Zero (best)

John B - yes & no as he's the only original member, but he puts out actual solo albums as much as GBV albums. Eric - I think his solo stuff sounds like GBV of past glories, but sounds like a continuation of that which is great! The current GBV since 1999 and having been on a major label (TVT), I think Pollard was trying to write in a way that wasn't him. That's why he does solo albums and, to me, they remind me more of GBV that the current GBV. Pollard has a new album coming out in May called Fiction Man. If you want to know what albums to get, let me know, I've got 'em all.

To me it's a future investment. If it turns out I don't like a particular cd(s) after the newnest has worn off, I'll trade it towards whoever I'm buying at that time. In Your Ear in Providence was very fair.

I'll agree with Jazzdog. Circle gets the square!

I think Paul is correct too as (1) I would think they'd split the two 9 minute songs on each side for balance time-wise (on the box they're one after the other), & (2) after looking at the site again, the guy maybe couldn't find that album, so took the track sequence from the box set because all of the others are right (i.e. don't match the box).
