The one pictured is a Columbia Special Products edition manufactured in the mid '80s. I used to sell 'em. Note the altered catalog number and the CSP logo at the bottom.

I still have a real one - CL 951 and remember watching the original broadcast at my grandparents house.

I'd forgotten Sandusky had been retired by the time of McQueary's witnessing of the shower rape. It doesn't change the fact that it occurred in the athletic facilities that Paterno was ultimately head of, though. And Paterno had a responsibility to do more than just mention it to his boss, especially knowing that Sandusky essentially had free reign of those facilities. The reason for Sandusky's retirement must have been a topic of discussion at the university.

Bartok wrote the third concerto for his wife to play (and earn some income) after he was gone. My favorite versions of the set are in the following order: 1st - Zoltan Kocsis / Ivan Fischer on Philips 2nd - three way tie; Anda / Fricsay on DGG, Jando / Ligeti on Naxos, Sandor / Gielen & Reinhardt on Vox. I like these pieces a lot and enjoy comparing versions. As you can tell from my choices, I prefer performances by Hungarians.

Vinyl Solution was the name of a wonderful store in Grand Rapids, MI a few years ago. The remnants of that experience live on at Vertigo.

Bill Dixon "Considerations 1972-1976, volume 2.

Cliff is nuts.

Me too.

Don DeMicheal was one of my best friends. I met him in 1964/5 - not sure. We became fast friends over the years and I miss him every day of my life. I think he was the best editor Down Beat ever had.

I think you are overthinking this big time.

The internet is their friend. Needle drop no doubt.

I thought it had been determined the box transfer was mp3.

I have never heard of Universal using mp3s. Why would they do that?

They probably didn't have the tapes. I've had a single cdr of the material for years. The material has circulated as "Personal Mel Lewis Reel to Reel Tapes."

Wonderful. Can't thank you enough.

Jan Johansson.

Do you have me blocked? I gave that info a while back.

Still trying to figure out what "half Faure" sounds like.

Same here. I have known some of these recordings from the '70s. The Symphonic Variations are my favorite recording of the piece. I had it on a Supraphon lp and it was available on Nonesuch at the time. The recordings of the symphonies are from the early '70s and are not the same as the 2 disc sets offered on Amazon. When digital raised its head, Supraphon had Neumann do new ddd versions for the marketplace. The earlier recordings are superior. Just thought some folks might like to know what they have.

Change the header Joe.

As I understand it, headphones clamp on your head from ear to ear. Is that correct?

Not sure anyone "hung out" with Murrow.

With only a quick scan of this thread, it seems I need to do battle with Joe (friggin') Fields to protect my reputation! Dang. Did I miss something else?
