Don’t know, I bought it from mosaic at full price with some selects, if I remember correctly

Roy Eldridge Mosaic

Wow! Will love it!

Tone Poet, first time I listen to it in any form

Totally agree with you. The old pressings of the official albums are better IMHO.

My suggestions about safety, after 42 years on motorcycle: buy the best full face helmet you can afford, you’ll never regret it. Safety jacket is a good thing too, a good pair of gloves warmly recommended: the first thing one do in an slow speed accident is put the hands forward, gloves will not safe bones but your skin will love them. About helmet it has an expiry date, since material are intended to absorb crash it will be less effective after years of daily use. Sun and temperature shock “cook” the helmets. Said that enjoy your rides.

The problem with modernism and avant-garde architecture is that is great for museum and all that stuff like opera house, parliament’s buildings and luxury villas, but is pretty damn cheap for real life housings. I think architects should have been forced to live in their buildings for a fair amount of time. And concrete doesn’t age well like stone.

I ride a gravel bike, not e-bike, for sports and traveling, not as commuter. E-bikes are the future. I think I’ll get one when my legs will ask for, I have no ideological problem with progress.

Everybody is on discogs nowadays. There are several good sellers from Japan over there, but the good old days when one deals personally with seller has gone. Discogs has its merits and I meet some nice guys but Tanno San was the last real gentleman in a market made of “seller”. Deal with him was a pleasure.

His music was great, anyway

NY, USA, Mono.

After Shorter passed away I spin some of the Report's records, after 15 years I guess. I liked them better then I remember.

I am not really impressed about it, just read the reviews on Amazon about the literature’s masterpieces and you got the average level of internet’s posts. Paraphrasing the apocryphal Warhol every idiot has fifteen minutes of fame on internet.

Glad I am out of LP 12 upgrade addiction 😁

Upgrade? Going to buy the Hill and McLean of the upcoming Tone Poet

Just watched the serie on Maddoff on Netflix, good one.

If I could only remember my name is THE rock record of my youth, I still think is the best record of the so-called west coast sound after 45 years. Maybe there are more important records from an historical perspective, but none of them are so enjoyable like IICORMN. edit: and probably one of the best sounding records of the period.

Enlightening analysis.

Very happy for Demon’s Dance, if I will remember to buy in October 😊

My question too,

I started re-read what I could call my personal western canon: Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Flaubert, Kafka, Conrad, Fitzgerald, Stevenson, Dickens, Mann, Melville, Musil, Simenon, Shakespeare and some more I forgot at the moment, plus some Italian writers. I read all of them in my youth. In general the more I get older better should be the novels. This is the fiction I can read now, that a part I read history.
