guess that story I remember was about another concert at the 1986 (or 1987) Mt. Fuji Blue Note festival... some recorings have shown up over on dime years ago. Must have been a comment there? Or a comment in the Moncur Select's booklet, maybe? The story is in the notes to the Hill Select of unissued BN sessions.

If you don't have it, you can buy the Lambert from Allen. Ultimately, I go for music vs technology. If the only version of Potato Head was a "scrubbed" version I'd buy it. I have done this many times and wait/hope for a better version. Over the years I have probably had 6 or 7 versions. None of them did damage to me. This advice is only for folks looking for music, not engineering.

u so smart. i was about to do something like that.

FWIW, there are 2 versions (stereo & mono) of the Big Reunion. I have originals of both and am not sure of the differences and editing. Mono original: Stereo original: The Cool Fever cover seems to be a counterfeit. Close but incorrect.

That is it.

I have the original lp and have never seen that stupid graphic.

Most/probably all of the EMI stuff has been reissued on lp and cd. I've had much of it for 40 years. The previous RCA/BMG set had this stuff and smaller chunks have been on EMI cds.

Hinted a couple of times.

Thanks. Can't believe Kevin typed that much.

Yup.

Pure vinyl is relatively clear. Carbon black is added as a groove lubricant.

George Simon produced The Big Reunion.

Go Bears!

always take both sides of an argument. That way you are always right.

I agree.

The music is terrific. The recording/production is the problem. I still have my lp too.

uh uh.......... where's my teleprompter?? did you produce sketches from bamboo? No I didn't and Roscoe complained to me about the results.

I'll decide whether or not to live with it, if you don't mind. I don't need orders from you. I did not send this message to you. Whatever. Say hello to the others on my ignore list. You really want to block my posts because of an imagined insult?

and...

Now you are required to define "cool". Not that I want to read it.

It can result in the same thing. That's how they mastered 45s.
