As far as the Miles reissues, we wouldn't be going through this if they put them out quicker. They should've been done years ago.

I just listened to this very recently. I never gave it a lot of time for some reason so I can't comment except that there is another album of duets; the one with that piano player who's name I can't remember, Joachim? It was his last official album so far (1997!)

You beat me to it... didn't he make that one for his mum? Yes. Have you heard his follow up country album, Beaucoup Of Blues? Just as bad, but worse. I didn't own that one for too long as I never liked country music although I'll listen to Mike Nesmith's Monkees country songs any day, but never ventured into his solo stuff.

I really wish Ringo would release a jazz album. Haven't you ever heard his first solo album Sentimental Journey? It's awful, but has 2 big band arrangments on it that I really liked; Night & Day and Blue Turning Grey Over You.

I have all of their regular albums and I would recommend: A Thousand Leaves (1998) Murray St (2002) Sonic Nurse (2004) After these Washing Machine (1995) has some really great songs and some clunkers depending on your taste. I could not get into Experimental for years and kept listening until I was old enough to enjoy it. It's so quirky and that's what I like about it now. Goodbye 20th Century has them "covering" avant garde composers. It's more fun to read about than to listen to, but listen to samples on the internet first before you buy it and you'll get the idea. Ones you probably wouldn't like: NYC Ghosts & Flowers (2000) Unfortunately this has one of the best Lee Ranaldo songs ever, the title track. This is another album I enjoy now, but disliked for years first. I'd say it's their worst one even over Experimental...

This is the last album on their Geffen contract. I wonder what they're going to do. Anyone see Moore & Gordon & daughter Coco on The Gilmore Girls last week? The sound was dubbed in (What A Waste from the new album). Only about 10 or 20 seconds, nothing to write home about.

This was my first Coltrane (and jazz album) that was bought (my wife gave it to me for Xmas 2001) for my jazz collection which started with this album & began a flurry of activity on Amazon & Half.com. A few thousand dollars & numerous box sets later, my collection has, thankfully, slowed down to a crawl. The first album I heard was A Love Supreme then my wife and I went to the Newport Jazz Festival in 2001. It brought back memories of listening to my dad's records and I hadn't explored jazz at all at that time. Cut to Xmas 2001 and listening to the first track, Mars, and chatting with my wife while listening, at about 3:40 in the song comes this flurry of notes like I've never heard before and I remember it stopping me in mid-sentence. That's when I knew I was about to spend a shitload of money very quickly...and I did. Though I don't listen to it too much, it is a favorite along with Ascension.

I forgot, also New Thing At Newport. I pick A Love Supreme over Cresent.

Just listened to Ascension last week. I love dissonance mixed with melody.

When my wife & I lived in Providence, RI, people would take a left turn at a red light if no one was coming the other way...IT'S NOT OPTIONAL!!!!

I didn't like the Debut box aside from the Toronto & Bohemia shows. The rest of the material was not my cup o' tea.

I'm sure all prices went up when he died.

Every once in a great while, record company meddling of an album makes an album just as good or better than the original. The US version of The Clash is still a great album. I'd stick with the UK because that's how it was intended.

Amazon's used stuff can be in good condition and cheap. That's where I bought my copy a few years ago.

Lost Cause (#21) I thought was one of his best aside from half of it being The Electric End. I can listen to stuff like that though the squealy feedback gets annoying. I usually pan it to one side and listen to the guitars. The other song are good though. If you ever get past the acappella albums, God's Speed.

The Evans/David box set unless it was done on the reissue. It's levels are surprisingly low.

If it matters to anyone, I'm not going to review Jandek albums anymore. It's just too much and I don't like his recent stuff even though I've tried very hard. I don't think the same way I did when I found out about him (i.e. I'm happier overall). I will say that his live albums, Glasgow Sunday & Newcastle Sunday are very good, some of his best. I'll buy only the live albums from now on. His studio albums (post acappella) are absolute shit.

You know right at the end after the credits where a plate of food is put on a table? That piano riff sounds exactly like Back Home Blues by Charles Mingus on the Mingus 3 album.

I hope this box is the last one. I think I have enough Miles to the rest of my life. Is there anyone here who's been buying these since the Plugged Nickel in 1995? 12 years is just too long to wait for all of these.

GRADY!!! YOU BIG DUMMY!

My wife & I are going on a vacation there April 10-15th. We are seriously thinking of moving there from Connecticut. We feel very tired of New England, even though we do love aspects of it, there feels like a discouraging mindset where we have lived (Worcester, MA/Providence, RI/Cromwell, CT). We're also looking to change our careers and mindsets also. Where could we look for an apartment?

I wouldn't be surprised if just from seeing this thread that I pull out End Of The Century and watch it again. I had heard that reissues of Animal Boy, Halfway To Sanity & Brain Drain were coming out this year. I got that info directly from Marky Ramone who's email was on the official Ramones site. He said 2006. I hope so.

I forgot about Hey Jude! Hollywood Bowl would be good to put in there also. Y'know what one I always liked was the Star Club 1962. Some fiery performances on some songs. Red Sails In The Sunset Ain't Nothing Shakin' But The Leaves On A Tree Be-Bop-A-Lula and my favorite: Talkin' 'Bout You. The Stones version pales compared to this one.

That means the next one will be just Yesterday...& Today and Revolver. After that they were the same as the British version. April 10th - 36 years since The Beatles broke up.

We have Blue Notes feelings about Norah Jones to thank for this board becoming the place to go, don't we?
