  1. I'd like to see the Braxton Willisau hatHUT set first...
  2. Happened to me once. Fortunately, my telephone / fax machine was the only equipment that got roasted; my Mark Levinson amp shut down and wasn't damaged, and my CD transport / converter and electrostatic speakers were switched off...
  3. I'd be interested too, though an overseas subscription is a hefty $89.95 for 4 issues!
  4. By the way, isn't it De Falla? The only two De Falla discs in my collection are: Noches en los jardines de España (plus Isaac Albéniz: Rapsodia española; Joaquín Turina: Rapsodia sinfónica) - Alicia de Larrocha / London Philharmonic Orchestra / Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos Decca 410289 El amor brujo - Orchestre symphonique de Montréal / Charles Dutoit Noches en los jardines de España - Alicia de Larrocha / London Philharmonic Orchestra / Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos (plus Joaquín Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez by the MSO / Dutoit) Decca 430703 Not much, I admit... Haven't played them for a long time, so I can't really comment.
  5. I was wondering about that, too...
  6. I hope you're right... The tracklisting on the CDUniverse page indeed belongs to EmArcy MG 36043.
  7. Johnny's Corner Song is also available from OmniTone: http://www.omnitone.com/store/label-auricle.htm
  8. Sonny Stitt's New York Jazz will be in the same June 10 batch as the Mitchell: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...996&Style=MUSIC, and so will be Cannonball Adderley's EmArcy sessions with strings: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...996&style=music and Lee Konitz' Motion (the single CD, not the triple album): http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...ic&frm=lk_jzmtz Just thought I'd mention it
  9. The J.J. Johnson set is one of the best Mosaic sets in my opinion. Get it before it's too late!
  10. Snap Your Fingers will be reissued by Verve later this year, at least according to Alan Lankin's Jazzmatazz site: http://home.att.net/~lankina/jazz/upcoming...s.html#upcoming
  11. This Is Billy Mitchell with Bobby Hutcherson will hit the street on June 10: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...&cart=145868103.
  12. One of my Japanese sources told me that they really are two release dates; you only see them on reissued Japanese discs. As far as I know these Beatles CDs are still available; I got them from Amazon Japan only a few months ago.
  13. The CDs were released on March 11, 1998.
  14. Forgot to mention the Keller Quartet - Chuck is right, their Complete Quartets are great. I've edited my post.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Toshiba TOCP-51118 The Beatles - Toshiba TOCP-51119~20 (the "White Double Album") These CDs are reissues of the original U.K. albums.
  16. The Reiner discs which I posted above are the 20-bit K2 remastered XRCD versions of the RCA recordings. I've edited my post.

  19. I agree, with the exception of the JRVGs, which I don't like at all.
  20. $70?? Good grief How much are first row seats?
  21. What is the title of the Mitchell and what label is it on? That Pinnock set has great "period" performances, though I always found the complete symphonies a bit much...
  22. Any comments on the music, Chuck?
  23. ...And thanks also for the unforgettable Untouchables!
