Not sure, if the set isn't "self recommending" to you, if you would be happy. Many folks here, including me, find it endlessly fascinating but don't know your appreciation of Andrew and don't know what else you do/don't have.

Why?

CMG3 works too.

Don't forget the date with Miles and Bags - best heard in the Monk/Prestige K2 box.

Convenience trumping ethics is the current style.

Can I use that one too? Yes, if you are somebody's wife.

Never heard her, don't care.

Very sorry to see this message. Not about me or Chris. Original research is the thing. You pay him a large amount of money for other people's work. I guess the current "file sharing" methodology works for you but I hoped for a higher standard. Edit to say the fact he rejects "primary sources" outright makes his work suspect at best. Chris and I are minor sources, but easily reachable.

Too many strikes against it for me to explore. If I miss it, no biggie.

Liked Who's Next. Never paid real attention to any later stuff but heard a bunch in stores I managed and on the radio.

Dozens of excellent mainstream classical lps made for Readers Digest. I must have about 40.

Interesting piece. A friend emailed it to me a couple of days ago.

I thought he shot a man.

Oh boy, something new to bitch about.

Did the aliens steal it? I sold around 15,000 lps a few years ago to finance some cd reissues of my catalog starting with the Art Ensemble Box. Last week I found it "free" for download on one of the "Blogger" sites. Good to see the music has such fine fans.

Just want to say that 2 lp set is a fantastic collection of early Verve Basie. Wish I still had it.

Lord has compiled the most information in the most convenient format but I refuse to give him any money. All discographies have errors but the others have original errors. Previous editors like Rust, Jepsen, Rabin and Bruyninckx have invested many years and thousands of hours (read money) providing this information. Those guys stood on the shoulders of earlier researchers. From my experience, Lord has taken their work without as much as a "thank you" and gone into business. I once complained online about Lord errors for sessions I produced. Lord contacted me and bitched about my posting. I pointed out all he had to do was contact me for complete details and he said he never contacted labels because they never cooperated. If he never contacted labels, where did he get his information? I have provided details to discographers for about 40 years, starting with Francois Postif in 1969. In print format a number of the above mentioned discographers have thanked various "vault custodians" at the major labels and their predecessors. I'm sure Lord will win. Correction, he already has.

The topic gave me an ugly image of some dude with his nuts on his chest. So I guess I'm one sick puppy. Have heard a couple of tracks on the radio and think the gimmick sucks.
