Hey guys, this is a NON-POLITICAL forum!

Hmm, it's beginning to feel like I ordered CDs from another universe...

These would clock in at about 145 minutes, including the seven tracks from Milt Jackson's Atlantic LPs. Two Cds would be sufficient. That would be a great Mosaic Select!

On May 25 I ordered two CD-sets directly from Parallactic and paid for the sets via PayPal. I asked them about the status of my orders by e-mail on June 11 and 17, but so far I haven't heard anything. Has anyone ever ordered directly from Parallactic? Any comments?

J.A.W. -- Iread in the latest ICE Newsletter that Rhino is bringing out the Mayfield material in their Handmade series. 2500... make that 2498 ... copies. WOW! That is great news! Didn't get that newsletter or the July 2003 issue of ICE yet - did they say when Rhino Handmade will release it?

Welcome, shrdlu!

It's still there.

Some people never grow up...

The Complete Milt Jackson - Lucky Thompson Savoy Sessions This would be a nice blues / R&B set in my opinion: The Complete Percy Mayfield Tangerine Sessions

Yup - says a lot about the poster...

Great sale, Chuck! Love the discs (including the Brötzmann )

Rob is posting here under a different handle.

I'm 56 and my dislike of RVG's remasters is still increasing...

I e-mailed shrdlu and told him about the posts above. I don't know if he'll post here, no doubt he's got other things on his mind since the tragic death of his wife last year.

The following CDs are scheduled for release on August 20,2003. * means in cardboard sleeve 3D System MTCJ 4021(PJL) Hanna,Roland Preludes Vol.1,2(2in1)* 2415 3D System MTCJ 4022(PJL) Communication Live at Fat Tuesday's in N.Y.

Nah, must be 11 or 12 - looks like puberty just set in...

Pity, would like to compare it with the TOCJ B)

And where were they planning this set? In a secret cave, I bet. C'mon, pryan, is this really necessary?

There seem to be a lot of maths geniuses on this board...

Isn't "intellectually challenged" the correct expression?
