Feb 15 RVGs

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Sometimes I want to give a big thumbs-down to the powers-that-be at Blue Note.

Do not blame Blue Note... it isn't their doing.

Actually Brownie...I believe several were picked up in NY during their regular Canada-Tunisia run/journey. That's just one example.

I'm going to take the funds I set aside for the BASRA purchase and spend said funds, instead, on a Prestige K2. Yeah, that'll teach Blue Note.

I deleted my cover. I forgot this wasn't the Politics forum.

I didn't mind your cover. (And, in a way, any thread involving RVG is going to be political.)

Actually, I'm kind of finding some (albeit sad) humor in all this. If it's Pete Sims' call to change the title — so be it. He's the artist. Is it censorship? I don't know. If it truly is Sims's decision, perhaps it's just revision. What if he retitled it Poop?

And I still say go with Tyra.

'Basra' vinyl futures just went up today !

Now I'll be able to sell my Conn for $$$

If they retitled it to that, I just might buy it.

I'm with you, go with Tyra.

I would advise all board members to cease and desist with the public commentary on this whole LaRoca issue and concern themselves instead with removing all traces of this recording from their personal collections:

[Man with the Golden Arm]

It's a letigious thing. I had no idea Pete Sims is a lawyer?

"Just a Burn" of this soon-to-be-one-of-the-most-collectable-JRVGs-in-the-history-of-mankind!!!!

Kevin Bresnahan:

You've opened a can of worms by offering the information about BASRA. Still, I'm glad to know the truth of the situation no matter how ridiculous it might appear. Thanks for submitting the post.

Agreed. I didn't even realize that Saddam was on the cover of that one ...

[Man with the Golden Arm]

Damn, Conn, all I have left is a burn of the JRVG! There'll be hell to pay for this when I hit the Capitol Beltway this morning!! B-)

Sheesh!

Republicans!

Thank you Kevin for sharing this.

You know I have my CD player hooked up to my X-Ray machine with special Sonography mono-blocks so I can play all my discs without ever opening them. Unfortuantely the radiological exposure / listening time line is going the wrong way.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

I gotta send this to Michael!!

Later,

Kevin

Honestly, I had no interest in this album until I saw Jeff's cover!!! YOW!!!

Yes, and "W.M.D." takes on a whole new meaning ...

Time to dig a hole and climb into it.  

You ain't got yer hole dug yet? You're WAYYY behind! I been livin' out of my bunker since Ruby Ridge!

My scream for Kevin earlier was not blaming him in any way for the change or the info about the release in the first place. I was calling him for help and additional info much like the Bat signal. And, like Batman, he has come through again with the info.

Thanks Kevin.

Since it's dangerous to give albums exotic titles anymore and the fact that LaRoca/Sims is probably near retirement age...

It does kind of already have the Miami colors on the cover.

Yes, but the blue shapes against the black background are offensive. I'd rather see them be modified into dolphins (maintaining the Miami connection).
