Cuisine. Ha! My wife was once trying to recall the name of "that terrible flavorless dessert... what was it? Penis Pie?" Spotted Dick. Mmmm.

Y'know, Hub Cap's not bad, Breaking Point I rarely pull out, (Night of the Cookers I NEVER pull out) but the rest of Hubbard's BN output is super-swell. But to me, Sketches of Spain is overrated jazz, so what the hell do I know? I know that Open Sesame, Ready for Freddie & Blue Spirits kick Miles' ass in my little world. Edit: Not only could Hubbard play better than most trumpeters, he could write circles around most other composers.

Yesterday the "wordwide" option was reverting to US only everytime I tried to edit an item. Even if you're not listing loads of stuff, eBay's Turbolister is way more efficient than their real-time browser-based selling feature. I rarely have trouble with it

I just scored discs 1 & 2 for pretty cheap and was wondering if anyone had any of the others they'd be willing to part with. Thanks! Sandy

Sounded like Scott Yanow to me...

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive! More eagerly the more I read. I've also got Boogaloo and Memphis to NY Spirit on the way, and I've never heard them either. With those, my BN Patton stack will be complete!

Sometimes I'm both senseless and penniless. But entertained, at least.

There you go. You know, I have the McLean set for High Frequency and the swell booklet...

So, tell US, was it? We really want to know. MG As soon as it's here, I'll tell you!

Really, guys- all I wanted to know was if That Certain Feeling was worth the price of the Select. I bought it already!

You left out the bit about none of the tunes becoming standards...

not true. i use firefox and i've made several purchases. Good to know- I tried repeatedly and fruitlessly w/ Firefox, and their support guy told me that the feature was IE compatible only. Go figure.

The Cherokee stuff is on the pre-RVG House Party (or the Sermon, one or the other). The LD stuff has never been available on CD in the US. This is a different version of Cherokee than was issued on the old CD. That is from the Mosaic 57 sessions stuff. The "Cherokee" TOCJ is different material. Arguabley better imho, athough it's really splitting hairs when it comes to this sort of greatness. Jimmy's burning. Actually, the Mosaic 57 set is made up of Date w/ Jimmy Smith 1 & 2, Jimmy Smith at the Organ 1 & 2, and The Sound of Jimmy Smith. So the Houseparty/Sermon stuff isn't on there. Who's the band and what's the date on the Japanese Cherokee disc? Now I'm curious.

Through the end of this month, there's a buy.com Google Checkout sale afoot, and everytime you make a purchase over $30 (there's no limit on how many purchases you can make) using Google Checkout, you save $10. Don't sign in to your account- grab a Select, go to checkout, scroll down and hit the Google Checkout button. And don't do it with Firefox, it seems to be Internet Explorer friendly only. You can sign up for the Google account once there. Happy shopping! Edit: Of course the promotion applies to everything on the site. But that's a swell Select price...

And less than 72 hours after ordering, it's in my hands. Holy cow!

Dilemma: I have every session on the Patton Select except "That Certain Feeling". Is it worth picking up for that date alone?

I figured HMV just had a secret, shockingly cheap stash of old ones! I would've ordered from Hiroshi if I'd known. That said, I just checked tracking info and my disc landed at JFK 14 minutes ago and shipped out 9 minutes later. That's efficiency! And hey, MG- you'll be glad you pulled the trigger! Glad I could give you a push

And HMV has one less copy. Ordered yesterday and it's already shipped! Soon I can retire my battered, thoroughly enjoyed CD-R.

It's been one month for as long as I can remember (5-6 years?), but there's a subscription service that'll allow 2 or 3-month searches. Edit: popsike.com is a great tool for extensive history searches, but only for vinyl. 981 results for "mosaic" search.

Well, I agree 100% with Mike Weill. This is a good album, but not a patch on the two I've heard with Roy Ayers. If you can get it for a dollar, though, OK. But don't build your hopes up too high. MG Postage is $10. It will not be had for a buck...

Speaking of RVGs: is it just my local Borders locations that have stopped stocking the new ones, or is it everywhere? The clerk I spoke to said the ordering is done centrally somewhere, and the last two batches never appeared at any of my 3 area Borders. That's got to bite into sales for BN.

McLean's High Frequency. And is Natural Essence on the schedule yet?

After losing a few shipments over the course of four or five years, I've started telling overseas winners that they need to insure their stuff because I can't be liable for lost items. Usually nobody wants to insure, but that's not my problem so long as I state upfront that it's on them if it goes awol. The losses to date I've either refunded in full or refunded purchase price + half of postage, just to spread the pain around a bit. The only missing packages that come to mind were one to Greece and very recently one to Italy. Bothe were LPs. Parcel post automatically insures up to $40, I think. USPS may have recently upped coverage. But parcel post ain't cheap.

I'd have paid $17 if I didn't have it already...
