Yes, this is really good news; love Speak Like a Child. Next I want Inventions and Dimensions to be RVG'd!

I also am looking forward to Feelin' the Spirit, one of my favorite Blue Notes, and I've been living without the alternates since I got the JRVG and gave my domestic copy to Kevin.

How is Blakey's Like Someone in Love? I think this is the only Shorter-Morgan Messengers LP I don't have. Never even knew it existed until about a year ago. How many Lee and Wayne compositions are on it?

1 Lee - "Johnny's Blue"

3 Waynes - "Noise in the Attic", "Sleeping Dancer", "Giantis"

1 Burke-Van Heusen - Title track

In case you've forgotten:

Art Blakey - LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE

Grant Green - FEELIN' THE SPIRIT

Herbie Hancock - SPEAK LIKE A CHILD

Wayne Shorter - NIGHT DREAMER

Sonny Clark - DIAL S FOR SONNY

Horace Silver - HORACE SILVER AND THE JAZZ MESSENGERS

I wonder if they're actually going to release all of these...

Well, Feelin' The Spirit has the tune Joshua Fit De Battle Ob Jericho on it, and Jericho is a city in the Middle East, so the Grant Green clearly has to be cancelled.

Speak Like A Child has a tune called Riot. There have been riots in Iraqi cities, so the Herbie Hancock can't be released either.

But even worse is Night Dreamer which has a tune called Armageddon (gasp), as well as tunes called Black Nile and Oriental Folk Song. No Wayne Shorter either obviously.

Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers. Hmm, Jazz Messengers sounds kind of like Jazz Crusaders, and we know what they think about crusaders in the Middle East. To be on the safe side it probably shouldn't be released either. The same goes for the Art Blakey.

But at least we can look forward to the Sonny Clark RVG!

No, it isn't. One tune on it is called Triangle. Haven't you heard of the Sunni triangle, the most dangerous area in Iraq? And another tune is called Mimosa. Not only is that an Asian tree, but it also stands next to 'minaret' in the dictionary. So it would clearly be too offensive to release the Hancock album now.

Oh, and welcome to the board! ;)
