  1. Here is Bertrand's post. I had to delete the thread to which he appended it because it was spamalicious: We need to make the entrance exam harder. Here are some possible questions: 1) Who wrote 'Jimerick' on the rejected 3/8/59 Art Blakey Blue Note session? 2) Who is the organist on Grant Green's 'Iron City'? 3) Who almost subbed for Lee Morgan on 'Evolution'? 4) Who wrote 'Off Spring' from 'Here's Lee Morgan' I think we should go back to having one of these per day ...just to keep the shrinking grey cells a little more alert!
  2. I liked the "scent free environment" plan Looks like ol' trumpet trousers here will get barred in the future parp
  3. I know...I remember being told about it and driving past thinking I ought to get out when I was going to a mates near Bodmin...it was the same for the House of Bruar up north on the A9...Never went back to either of 'em
  4. Ended up getting the Three Sounds as well as the Reuben Wilson and time must have mellowed me. I really enjoyed all of them.
  5. I thought the new stuff was better than the original lp if you want to try the last three tracks perhaps cliff englewood as they seem quite different and reminded me more of other Hutch dates As for the opinion of others or another or les autres...maybe others may confer or confirm or conform
  6. One word...WOW! I used to have Head On on Lp then burnt it and sold the lp when my lps went. This latest reissue is fantastic both for the original material but more so for teh extra 3 bonus tracks which are longer than the original LP...it is as the notes say like having a whole other new LP for free AND The bonus tracks are absolutely brilliant, really strong and how they never saw the light the first time around .......well I know why but they are very very good. Gradually picked the later BH material on CD to replace older Lps and they are really enjoyable I would recommend this cd to those who like Bobby H and need more and to make it even better it cost me 5 quid shipped and sealed!
  7. I have this and it is some parts good too.....good to hear BJP anyway...you got his other Muse work...hmmm mean streets no bridges etc?
  8. April...........that is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not fair
  9. they are up there a long time and the blood does thin somewhat
  10. that trovar site is a really neat little site Gradually over the last few years I have battled to try to find as many of the ECM titles as possible and I wish this Touchstones series had been around years ago. Same with other labels. Much nicer that not having it, much nicer than downloading it as well. As for bad packacing it stands to reason at the price. I wish a more sustainable option than jewel boxes had been pursued along way back. That way I could have snuck more cds on the same old shelves....as it was I tried getting cheap Japanese Blue Note Mini lps when I could to thin things out a little so I could get some more!...however that policy backfired when it was discovered to be a ruse to get more cds per shelf ECM have to move fast as there are many sites that offer most of their catalogue to download. This way and with the beautiful book they released earlier this year Horizons...I am still captivated
  11. Well of course it is down to whether you went to Oxford or Cambridge
  12. Seriously? That sh*t still happens in court? Anyway in jury matters in the UK we assume two principles 1 They (defendants) are always guilty if they make it to court (forgetting of course miscarriages of justice ) due to the sheer paper work now involved 2 The new UK gov principle adopted from the high street of Try one Let one free. We only have so many places in prison so we have to let someone out to let someone in....let too many people out and then the next trials all have to end in a custodial sentence or prison would have spaces, which would lead to cut backs, which would lead to strikes, which would lead to riots etcetc
  13. Not kidding... My pleasure Sorry will sort next
  14. hi all sorry if question swere unclear. Jim nothing more in the poll than a quick show of hands. Do not allow links on this site or you will run into trouble I am sure. Trends are interesting but what I love to see are the 'well if it was this then yes if that then no' exception type responses. We retionalise our behaviour in different but patterned ways I think... Againit is only a snap shot from the other debate...please feel free to suggest changes...or do a different poll and Jim again if it compromises you ...delete it
  15. Understood...only quick reactions are needed...'sometimes' are for when the feds ain't watching over your shoulder!! It will not show much of a clear result but will show something more than ' i assume'
  16. ok tried to sort one...erm not as easy as I thought..if it causes any uncomfortability or hair pulling mods please feel free to pull/delete it
  17. So come on tell us what you think and do using the poll to keep it anon Apologies if you think the poll is either wrong/biased/worded unclearly I assume you can edit this afterwards Mods please delete this if you think it may cause you any problems
  18. Perhaps an anonymous poll would help enlighten how people think and what people do...can we do polls here...er sound little thick...can i do a poll?
  19. Slow down and save money with less fuel costs and no speedy fine. Speaking as someone who got nabbed years ago and now behaves better. I think the better solution recently has been average speed cameras....drops peoples speed down a hell of a lot...imagine one at every motorway exit. that would stop all the speed up and then slow down merchants. If the government want to tax people more for this ..I'm cool about it
  20. I always thought it would would be the type of person who pressed the olives
  21. For me it has to be the Mintons Lps which I had on japanese lp for years before the 2 cd doubletime issue came out which I played and played
