blind-blake Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Charlie Parker Mosaic and Joe Maini set. Happy Festivus! Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Posted December 25, 2008 Got my wife the expanded reissue of the first Small Faces album on Immediate. Has the mono and stereo mixes of all tracks on the US and UK version. THE MONO MIXES - many of which I'd never heard before - KICK!!!! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 My daughter got me this one Meanwhile in Thies, by The Royal Band de Thies (and 2 tracks by Dieuf Dieul, another 70s/80s band from Thies). And I've got some money to make some purchases of other desirable goodies; Blue Note deletions and something from Chuck, I think. MG Quote
GA Russell Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Quite a bit. First and foremost, an album of Christmas carols by Donald Ryan, whom you may have heard of. There is a plant in York, PA, which still has a steam whistle. Every Christmas at midnight, this guy plays Christmas carols on it for fifteen minutes, and the whole town can hear it. It's quite extraordinary, and comical too! One of a kind in the world! The new album Beautiful Memory by vocalist Bill Henderson. He's another old (81) black guy with one foot in the grave who can still sing, like Ed Reed. I'm looking forward to that one. Three boxes: Sonny Rollins - The Freelance Years Sonny Rollins - Original Album Classics (five RCA albums) The Byrds - Original Album Classics (their first five Columbia albums) Special thanks to my new best friend Alec, who got me the Freelance box; and my other two new best friends, sidewinder, who let us know about the Original Album Classics series, and Chuck, who let us know where to find them cheap!

GA Russell Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 HG, it occurs to me that you originally asked if the Rollins set has the original artwork. The fact is that I don't remember the original artwork, so I can't say for sure. Quote
poetrylover3 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 I got Tina Brooks-The Waiting Game; The Jazz Icons DVDs-Bill Evans and Dizzy Gillespie. My big catch was Preston Sturges: The Filmmaker Collection featuring 7 of the comic master's flix including Sullivan's Travels, The Palm Beach Story, The Lady Eve; Hail The Conquering Hero, The Great McGinty etc. With a 40% off Borders coupon it ran $36 plus sales tax, which I call one hell of a deal. I bought myself a slew of CDs from BMG-heavy on the Hank Mobley-Sextet, Hi Voltage, Dippin', Soul Station- and Stanley Turrentine-The Return of the Prodigal Son & Look Out!; Antal Dorati:Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker; Poco: Gold; Marvin Gaye:Gold; The Summer of Love; The Coleman Hawkins All Stars at Newport; Milt Jackson At The Museum of Modern Art; An Electrifying Evening With The Dizzy Gillespie Quintet-all for S & H only.

Big Al Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 The Genesis 1970-1975 box Phil Keaggy - Phantasmagorical: The Master and the Musician 2 With the Half-Price Books gift card, I got the following LPs: George Benson/Jack McDuff (Prestige 2-fer) The Art of Freddie Hubbard (Atlantic 2-LP comp) The Crusaders - 1 Wes Montgomery - California Dreamin' Commercials to Cringe To (some weird LP I found in the spoken word section; it's a parody of 60's commercials, almost like a Stan Freberg record. Pretty funny stuff!) Haven't decided what I'm going to use my Borders gift card for. Probably Pat Martino's El Hombre, thanks to Sangrey's thread about it! Quote
Patrick Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Lee Morgan - Live at the Lighthouse Maria Schneider - Coming About(remastered, autographed by Maria) Have since placed a large order at Tower, what with all these announced BN deletions.
