October 6 Roberto Gatto - 1958 Saw Roberto Gatto (dr) in a trio with Rita Marcotulli (p) and Palle Danielsson (b) in Göttingen November 5, 2010

https://www.plosin.com/milesahead/PluggedNickel.aspx "At first the producers of the domestic project -- executive producer Michael Cuscuna, Bob Belden, and Steve Berkowitz and Kevin Gore from Columbia -- worked with masters provided by Sony Japan. The project was suspended, however, when archivists in Columbia's Manhattan storage facility came upon a cache of twenty-five 1/2" three-track "B reels," recorded on a second deck as backups for those times when the reels on the master deck were being changed. These new reels included more than twenty minutes of music that was missing from the supposedly complete Japanese set! All the tunes that were issued in edited form on the Sony Japan set could be restored to their full length. (For details on the restored passages, what was restored and where, see the notes to the December 22 and December 23 sessions elsewhere on this site.)"

What edits are you referring to?

It is.

Is that the same material as the two Japanese lps? Thanks!

Yeah! That's what I would have liked to have seen used as a basis for the new covers!

That is a de-capped or de-lidded IC part, in 1977 likely an SOIC package. No idea what part or what functions it does, but it looks fairly basic. I worked with die like these in plastic packages like this for over 40 years so I've looked at pictures like these for a long time. If you Goggle de-capped IC, you can see a bunch of interesting packages after the plastic is removed. Here is an article on the process: Delid and Decap FWIW, this is what it probably look like before it was de-lidded: The Goggle image search for "decapped IC" gets some interesting ones. I think the two chip package looks interesting. We produced quite a few of the dual-die packaged parts. They were sometimes difficult to manufacture. This photo below shows a closer shot of the bond wires connecting the die to the leads of the package. These are called "reverse ball bonds" because they start on the die with a smushed ball and end on the package lead. In the old days, the bond started on the package lead and end on the die. It's funny because today, almost all bonding is done using "reverse" ball bonds. Today, a bond starting on the lead is really the reverse process. The stuff that goes into this manufacturing process is the work of textbook after textbook. Everything from the "glue" holding the die down to the material it's glued down onto comes into play with functionality & reliability. The wires themselves are usually gold but they'll also use aluminum & copper (usually coated with Palladium) depending on the function of the part.

It does appear to be working quickly right now, so maybe the server company was able to do something about the spambots?

Waiting for the Bills game.

Hi all, Nils Winther of SteepleChade records is looking for some photos of Pony Poindexter for an upcoming CD release of live material. Does abybody here have any? I only have the Polaroid that is posted on the first page of my Poindexter disco. Thanks a lot!

2 x 👍!

I first got my hands on this music in 1982: this 2 LP US set: https://www.discogs.com/master/62386-Miles-Davis-Live-At-The-Plugged-Nickel I still have my copy and it still sounds great.

BC 38....Calgary 24 A fourth consecutive excellent game from the Lions. The Stampeders are fading. In Power Rankings, I would rate them last in the West. With the win, the Lions clinched a playoff spot. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/05/recap-bc-38-calgary-24/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/04/lions-punch-playoff-ticket-with-win-over-stamps/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/surging-lions-clinch-playoff-berth-with-win-over-stampeders/ https://3downnation.com/2025/10/05/nathan-rourke-plays-with-house-money-as-b-c-lions-survive-late-stampeders-surge-12-other-thoughts/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/04/3-stats-that-defined-bcs-week-18-win-over-calgary-2/ https://3downnation.com/2025/10/04/b-c-lions-clinch-cfl-playoff-spot-with-victory-over-stampeders/ ***** more on Sask-Ott https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/riderville-roundup-october-5-2025/ ***** more on Ham-Tor https://3downnation.com/2025/10/05/toronto-argonauts-mauled-by-tiger-cats-to-end-playoff-fantasy-seven-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/10/05/hamilton-tiger-cats-dominate-all-phases-seal-season-series-over-argos-seven-other-thoughts/ *****
