  1. and then you're stuck at work and a freak lightning storm rolls through the hood and all your gear is fried...................................................

    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...

  2. 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.

  3. I'm still a bit curious as to why you're here at all, Jimmy. The percentage of your posts which just deals with the alleged hypocrisy of Christiern is certainly not decreasing.

    I was wondering about that, too...

  4. That CD Universe listing is completely messed up. Fortunately this is not actually the strings album (which was reissued on a twofer a few years ago), but the octet album (MG 36043) that was his debut album for EmArcy. It has not been on CD before, at least not in the US.

    I hope you're right... The tracklisting on the CDUniverse page indeed belongs to EmArcy MG 36043.

  5. 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 :)

  6. I found a used LP of Al Grey's SNAP YOUR FINGERS (Argo) a short time ago and there's a couple of mighty fine Mitchell solos on that album. Not sure if that's the one you're talking about, Weizen. I don't know if it has been re-issued yet, but it should be. Hutcherson's also on it, while Donald Byrd and Herbie Hancock sit-in(?) with the band on a live date on side two. Worth searching for.

    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

  7. Hey Hans,

    Aren't the dates you mention actually refer to the span of the release, like it's only available for 2 years...?  That's how I've always interpreted those dates.  I usually see them always span 2 years, on most Japanese releases/reissues. 

    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.

  8. To my ears and on my system they do, at least the ones I have:

    A Hard Day's Night - Toshiba TOCP-51113

    Beatles for Sale - Toshiba TOCP-51114

    Help! - Toshiba TOCP-51115

    Rubber Soul - Toshiba TOCP-51116

    Revolver - Toshiba TOCP-51117

    Sgt. 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.

  11. 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...
