JSngry Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 Went to look for Tenorman today, and of course looked in the James Clay section. NOT THERE. Panic. Fear. Depression. Suicidal thoughts. Oh yeah, that's right... Quote
paul secor Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 Yup. And I'm the kind of person who goes nuts trying to figure it out until it finally turns up. Quote
JSngry Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I was actually sitting down to look at prices for a used copy, and that was when it hit me... Edited July 23, 2011 by JSngry Quote
Joe Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 And that's why you always, ALWAYS, got to give the drummer some. Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 Maybe that was why I instinctively filed it under James Clay right at the start - I anticipated wanting to hear this at sometime in the future but never think to look under Marable's name. I've not had filing-related heart attacks but I have gone nuts trying to remember certain unrelated two-fers some trade partners hit me with in the past. That's a real hard filing question and inevitably you either want to hear the second set and can't find it, or end up looking to buy it because you don't even remember that you had it in the first place. And of course I never considered the obvious solution: If the sets are so different, make separate burns yourself. Quote
JSngry Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Posted July 23, 2011 If the sets are so different, make separate burns yourself. It's a comm0on-sense attitude like that that has prevented you from getting a gig at Collectables! Quote
Shawn Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 You looked under the appropriate name, not your fault the label had it wrong. Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 I file multi-artist anthologies under the title, and I don't know how many times I've looked for an album and couldn't remember the title. Quote
TWilson Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 Has happened to me as well. That is how I have ended up with 2 copies of Steve Lacy / Mal Waldron - Hot House on cd Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 I cannot find my 'Legend: Bob Marley' anthology, for years my one reggae album. As a result it's never had a category of it's own. Bought a few reggae albums of late and want to get it into the new section. But it could be anywhere - pop/rock, World Music (Latin America) etc! This will worry me all summer. Quote
Alexander Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 I remember once looking for a Blind Lemon Jefferson album. There was a hole in the section, right where the CD was supposed to be, but the CD wasn't there. I looked through all of the discs I had out (I keep a pile of "to listen" CDs on one of the speakers at all time), but it wasn't among them. I began to have paranoid fantasies that someone had actually stolen it, before I decided to methodically go through my entire collection - disc by disc - to make sure that it hadn't been misfiled. Sure enough, there it was...in the 'L's...under "Lemon" rather than in the 'J's under "Jefferson." A completely wasted afternoon. But at least I found it! Quote
mikeweil Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 C'mon - I'm really disappointed about the way you perceive drummer/leaders .... Quote
John L Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 Don't you guys have your collections in iTunes yet? If you don't find it by artist, you can look by album title, then track titles. You can find anything in seconds. Quote

Unk Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) Your mistake is in filing alphabetically by the "leader's" name. I file everything under the bass player's name. (Okay, some small problems with the Double Quartets and some Trane dates...) Don't you guys have your collections in iTunes yet? If you don't find it by artist, you can look by album title, then track titles. You can find anything in seconds. Where's the fun in that? It's all about 'The Hunt'. So, would that be filed under Dex or Wardell? And don't get me started on how Record Stores file things. Edited July 24, 2011 by Unk Quote
