Jazzmoose Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 Since there seems to be some demand for this puppy, let's give this a shot: the disc is in nice shape, except that the previous owner (not me, I swear!) fell for that old "green felt pen" chestnut and colored the edge of the disc. Doesn't affect the surface or, much to his chagrin, I'm sure, payback. $20 cash, check, or US postal money order covers the disc and postage. Please respond before I come to my senses.... Quote
Joe Christmas Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 never cared much for this disc. What's all the hubbub? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 17, 2004 Author Report Posted February 17, 2004 Just been OOP for a while, I think. Quote
ghost of miles Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 Not to everyone's tastes, perhaps, but this is actually one of my favorite Mobleys, featuring his compositions in an octet setting. Haven't spun it in awhile, but I played it quite a lot after I first got it. Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 yeah but that pen is now "Out Of Ink"! Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 One of my favorite Mobley discs too. Are my ears on crooked?? Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 I like it a lot as well. Your friend has done WHAT with that green felt pen, Moose? Quote
couw Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 come on! someone make a remark about mark stating that the felt pen probably affected payback (not pLayback)... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Posted February 18, 2004 come on! someone make a remark about mark stating that the felt pen probably affected payback (not pLayback)... Oh my stars and garters! Uh...make that playback.... As far as the green pen goes, doesn't anyone else remember this back when CDs first made their appearance? I barely do; supposedly, if you covered the edge of the disc with a green felt pen it "helped focus the laser" or something and "improved the sound quality", or some kind of pseudoscientific con job. Heck, I don't remember. I remember reading about this silliness in some stereo magazine back in the eighties... Quote

As a matter of fact, I think some of the liners for the early CDs recommended doing that as well. Quote
sjarrell Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 (edited) I'll take that, if it's still available- green ink and all. Tried to PM you, but got an error message! Let's hope this works... Edited February 18, 2004 by sjarrell Quote
grey Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 As far as the green pen goes, doesn't anyone else remember this back when CDs first made their appearance? It was propounded by the editor of a monthly titled 'Digital Audio and Stereo Review' in the late 1980s. Supposedly, the green felt marker applied to the side of the disc would prevent the scattering of the laser beam which would then be focussed on the playing side of the disc. Of course, sceptics asked, why green? Why not, blue? The proponents had no coherent reply. Others asked that if the laser could be scattered then why not color the whole inside of the CD player? Again, the green felt proponents had no reply. The recent 'reverse polarity' proponents carry a similiar credibility as the green felt gang. Urban myths are fascinating. On the down side, many a CD was ruined by applying the green (and other assorted color markings) to the disc. 'Digital Audio and Stereo Review' went bankrupt around 1990. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 WHATEVER! This is a fine disc. Quote
sjarrell Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I'll take that, if it's still available- green ink and all. Tried to PM you, but got an error message! Let's hope this works... It worked! I'll mail payment asap. Thanks! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Posted February 18, 2004 It's gone, and not available to be stuck in Joe Christmas's ear. ON THE OTHER HAND, the four cats are still available... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Posted February 18, 2004 'Digital Audio and Stereo Review' went bankrupt around 1990. Which explains why I can never seem to find it anymore. Then again, after the felt pen thing... Quote
Joe Christmas Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Chuck, clearly we must fight to the death. Quote
Clunky Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 for an UK residents Hoggs Head Records in Edinburgh had this disc the other day for £6.99 I think, not sure how ever if they do mail order. Quote
Big Al Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I love this session, but could do without James Spaulding's alto squeals. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Chuck, clearly we must fight to the death. And your choice of weapons? Quote
bertrand Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 I'm with Chuck on this one - one of my favorite Mobleys. Bertrand. Quote
Dan Gould Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Chuck, clearly we must fight to the death. And your choice of weapons? Wet noodle vs feather duster? Quote
Joe Christmas Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Chuck, clearly we must fight to the death. And your choice of weapons? I was thinking keyboards, but I normally fight my battles vicariously through others so I'm at a loss. btw, I reevaluated my opinion on this disc last night on my way home from getting smoked in a racquetball tourney. James Spaulding was the friggin TRUTH. Still can't get with it otherwise. Higgins sounds bored. Quote
