  1. So, you levelled it, but did you get the bounce right? I think some posters would accuse you of over compensating, if they knew how much your Linn and Naim gear set you back......... I think a small(mid-western) label could re-issue a decent title on CD, for the price of your gear....actually, I don't "THINK"... Hell, sell them collectable E-Bay buys, and we'd get another box set from the mid-west...LMAO
  2. Johnny Cash: A Hundred Highways ........Johnny's final statement........ to have it reproduced in this fidelity is something unique, and actually quite gut-renching. The American Recordings of Cash(on vinyl) are amazing, period!!! I'm glad and sad, at the same time, that I have them. The truth, warmth and honesty Cash emotes is so simple, yet impossible to be ignored. So much music pales in comparison. I'd love to see Ruben and Dylan get together in the next year or two.....
  3. If the lam is shot, look at replacing it. That is, after you have it sounding good.
  4. LMAO Hollywood... do any any of you EU fucks know what Hollllllywoooood is??? You EU fucks need to STFU........... Gibson Cruz Hanks My man Clark Cable Travolta John Candy William Hurt Dan Aykroyd Denzel Washington Chow Yun Fat Pacino Clint Eastwood Jay and Silent Bob Will Ferrell Pitt Freeman Billy Bob Hallle Berry Julia Roberts Rachel McAdams Tarantino Redford Michael Caine Robert Duvall Create something of your FN own for God's sake. You are a FN joke!!! France ..... what an insult to mankind!!!
  5. I have 2 or 3 titles from the latest edition of MoFi. Hot Buttered Soul is a super reissue. I need to pick up their Los Lobos title before it goes OOP. BTW, The Hawk Flies High is still available on OJC vinyl for $10. That being said, they are not really a player in the reissue vinyl game. Speakers Corner with 50 Verve/Clef titles in print, and Classic Records with 50 Blue Note, and numerous other jazz titles in print are the real players. I like this one coming from Speakers Corner
  6. Too bad for Harold. He had a good run, no an excellent run. I knew him in his Seattle days(live 1/4 mile from his old house). Very much a player when woman did not complain about it. Spent many a night with him in local tavern. Sweet, fun loving guy. Trust me, I know how he hits on woman. Zero harrassment involved...
  7. What would Fantasy be w/o CCR...how do you think all the jazz titles stayed in print. Frankly, Fantasy would have perished long ago w/o CCR. Concord bought Fantasy for 3 reasons... Miles, Trane and CCR..end of story. And I'm surprised they've beat the parasitic EU joke labels to the ' Hey , I can make a CDR' to the punch. We need more EU parasite labels on the shelves to save a couple bucks. LMAO You guys in the EU are a FN joke. For Gods sake.....create something on/of your own. Thank god for BMW, Mercedes and a couple TT manufactures. France is an embarrassment to mankind...OTOH.. France is an embarrassment to Texas. Lance and many others consider you less than 3rd world these days. An American with no hip wins the tour....nuf said. The French Navy harassing Cali fisherman off rocks in Mexico...well FN done you FN losers... The CCR titles I ordered will make a a few people happy as they will be stocking stuffers or BDay presents. Whether you are 15 or 55 get the CCR titles.... The Hawes titles..Vol. 1-3 are sweet.
  8. True Blue Looks like a very, very clean copy going at less than a madness price....
  9. Woods probably had them removed. Too much like a spike mark on a green, and who wants to run into that on your your way to the cup????
  10. The beauty of Tiger's wife reminded me of someting...a bit off topic, but I'm sure most of you can relate. I've crossed paths with: Mark Spits Jack Sikma Tony Dorsett Sam Perkins (big jazz fan BTW) Danny White Phil Mickleson Steve Young Randy Johnson Michael Cage and a few dozen more.. Before I recognized them, I had had to take my eyes off their companion. LMAO Cage was unreal. I lived across the street from him for a year ot two. He had 50 of what Tiger has without the strings, but golfers are different....
  11. Mariners vs The 2nd best team in NY. The M's need this series after the tough one in Toronto. The M's are a funny team. 1st and 3rd with their 20+ mil paychecks are killing them, while short and 2nd with their minimums are what baseball is all about.
  12. That may be right for the Prestige sessions RVG engineered, but it would seem questionable if he remastered Contemporary or Riverside sessions that were engineered by colleagues with a quit different sound philosophy. Kirk Felton and others did an excellent job on these. Let's hope RVG doesn't get his deaf ears on the the DuNann's. In fact, if DuNann was not deaf, I'm sure he would have been approached to DuNann the RVG's. Wolff is not a fan of RVG's....yuuuck!!!! Just ordered 20....
  13. Yep! Quite possibly, the best reissue I've heard, ever. Charlie Parker: Complete Savoy (5LP) Interesting to listen to this while reading a Bird bio.
  14. A jazz pianist from Spokane, WA, yeah right. LMAO. That's as likely as an NBA lottery pick from the Palouse, with diabetes no less.
  15. Nice! How about some pics of the M6, too? Just joined the BMW frat with an 03 530i. Great car!! It's a sin to park it. Already thinking about a 400hp M5.
  16. Duh.... I sold my MoFi Beatles collection about a year ago.
  17. I have a feeling money was not as big a factor as other intangibles associated with Classic Records. AFAIK this will be the first time the most coveted catalog in the world will be done out of house. Classic Records has amassed quite a track record when it comes to prestigious catalogs. Dylan, Hendrix. RCA Living Stereos. The Who, Neil Young and Blue Note to name just a few. I think their stellar reputation was as important as their money.
  18. Bruce Springsteen: The Seeger Sessions Willie Nelson: The Songs of Cindy Walker Zane Musa: Introducing (Straight Ahead Records) Recorded live at Bernie's
  19. I have about 90 Classic Records titles and easily another 150 titles pressed at RTI. All are dead quiet and flat. I have returned about 10 for replacement or my money back due to defects. The latest being the Monk/Coltrane. The records pressed at this plant hold up very well over the years. CD's seem so cheap and worthless compared to what Classic Records is doing. I guess that's a given in most vinyl vs. CD comparisons. The fact that Classic Records gets a shot at the Beatles catalog speaks volumes for how well they are thought of.
  20. Man, Classic Records just keeps on rolling. Mucic Angle article Their catalog is just sick!! 5 more Blue Notes coming this month and more in the future. 26 Impulse titles in the works. And now EMI titles from: David Bowie Rolling Stones Jethro Tull Roxy Music Frank Sinatra Nat King Cole Radiohead Queen Brian Eno James Taylor and the Beatles!!! From everything I've read being able to reissue the Beatles is an amazing accomplishment. My occasional complaints about noisy vinyl aside, Classic Records is an amazing reissue label. In these days of reissue labels not leasing titles, Classic is in a league of their own. My last Classic purchase was Neil Young's "Prarie Wind", and it's a beauty in every respect. In addition, IMO Classic Records does a better job reissuing Blue Notes than Blue Note.
  21. Not very good news. I wonder what brands and types of tubes are made at this plant? If this plant closes the effects could be felt immediately.
  22. Zane Musa: Introducing (Straight Ahead Records) Neil Young: Prairie Wind (Reprise/Classic Records) LIke both of these and I got quiet copies!!!
  23. How is it? I think it sounds really good, but I'll be returning it. Side 2 has a bunch of tiny scratches that sound throughout. Why Mosaic used Classic's 200 gram proccess with it's widely known lack of QC baffles me.
  24. Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall (Mosaic Records)
