Chuck Nessa Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Can't help you there, although I can do a His and Hers Family Pak. My parents had one of those RCA changers. It plugged into the back of our first tv. It came with a supply of RCA 45s by the Sousa Band, Glenn Miller and Eddy Arnold. Played plenty of Little Richard, Fats Domino, Elvis and Jerry Lee on that sucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 A completed version of Dashiell Hammett's aborted first draft of THE THIN MAN--written by Hammett himself, that is. (I wager Medjuck would be with me on this one.) And in my doddering years (or sooner--or how soon are they? ), PEACE BROKE OUT: AN ACCOUNT OF HOW HUMANITY CAME TO ITS SENSES AND ABOLISHED WAR, POVERTY, AND RACIAL & RELIGIOUS HATRED IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE 21ST CENTURY.

Played plenty of Little Richard, Fats Domino, Elvis and Jerry Lee on that sucker. My folks had one of those type spindle adapters on their Silvertone "record player", a fold-top job with a really good AM receiver and a warm-tube smell inside it that never went away. Still had that smell when my mom got rid of it in 200?. It also had demand of a stylus that flipped over to play 78s and flipped back again for other speeds. One-stop playback, and the fact that the tracking force was probably 29.75 lbs. didn't deter it from serving long and well.

JSngry Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 That RCA unit was for 45s only. Oh, so that was the spindle then? Wow, never saw that before... Was RCA really that gung-ho about the Speed War that they thought that people would want 45s for everything? God, that's just so...recordindustrial! Ok, there's a book I'd like to read - the history of the Speed War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERIGAN Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I would like a catalog of all known Klimpt paintings and a listing of diminsions and "survivors". This does exist, but it is rare and quite expensive. Gustav Klimt: With a Catalogue Raisonne of His Paintings by Fritz Novotny and Johannes Dobai. Powells seems to be cheapest, starting at $600. I'm actually about 75% going to get the upcoming Catalogue Raisonne of Stuart Davis' work. If you pre-order through Amazon they knock over $100 off the price ($300). I think I would look at it enough to justify the purchase. But I could never tell my wife how much I paid... Shit, I don't know where that "p" came from. I was going to say perhaps you were so verklimpt at the thought of such a tomb, you couldn't see the keys, but I thought better of it...

paul secor Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I'd like to see a collection of Jonathan Williams' slides of the gravestones/monuments of the famous and less famous. If you read his essay "Paying Respects" in his collection, Blackbird Dust (or read it, as I did, when it appeared in The New York Times in 1976), you too may want to see it. A new book by Andrew Sarris A complete collection of Guy Davenport's criticism A followup to Jean Jacques Sempe's The Musicians - Perhaps he has done another book of drawings of musicians. If so, I haven't seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcy62 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) Actually, as J.L. Borges wrote, all these books exist, the problem is where to look for them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel BTW an existing great short story.

BruceH Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 "The Library of Babel" is actually the very first Borges story I ever read and got me hooked on him for life. Still one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
