    Really? I think of you as a core poster. And yes, makes sense that an established community would bristle at an influx.

    Altschul, one of the greats.

    I forgot about the transitional AAJ post-BN board. I had that experience as well, even though I was writing for them at the time. Not a great scene.

    oh, huh, looks like I joined on January 9, 2004. I could have sworn it was earlier, but apparently the months/years run together. I do remember the BNBB shutdown and being informed that this was the place to go.

    yep. I have a Japanese pressing on Mercury, which seems to have been licensed from Trip, who in turn had gotten the tapes from Orville O'Brien (O'Be). I don't know what the story is there, but a number of his tapes ended up as Trip releases later in the 70s (Art Blakey; Randy Weston).

    and also Dizzy Reece, b. 1931, and as far as I am aware, still with us!

    I am a bit concerned, as mentioned upthread, that some folks have been driven away by perceived bias against record collectors. The "ignore" function does work, and I've used it a few times (mostly just until my agitation cooled off).

    not a bad idea; I've noticed some people post vinyl listening in the "what are you listening to now?" thread. I'll admit that I check out the vinyl thread more than the general listening thread, however.

    The prevalence of cassettes is in large part due to economics: they're cheap to produce and duplicate.

    yep, my 2020 Subaru has a CD player and I will drive it until it's turned to dust.

    Flower Girl is a neat one. I have the Craftman reissue, as well as their reissue of the Victor LP (A Jazzy Profile of Jojo). I connect more with the avant-garde recordings but these are certainly worth hearing. Takayanagi could, it seems, play just about anything with characteristic rigor.

    did not see this the first time around but watched and enjoyed the extended cut recently. It got much better as it progressed to the end. Prime Walton Goggins. I will also add a +1 for The Lighthouse, which is directed like a Robert Wilson dialogue (The Old Woman, for example). Surely Eggers is quite familiar with Bob's work, and Dafoe's work in The Old Woman.

    Japanese pressing, not sure about the dealer (though I think I know the spot that @mjazzg is referring to).

    bargain trophies are the best kind.
