So you had "control/power" over each of them.

Saw my wife across study hall when I transferred to a new school. That was 48 years ago.

Sometimes silly arguments by folks who have never been there/done that. If we can make the jump to compare making a recording to making a movie, it might be helpful. The producer (if he's more than a stopwatch mechanic) has done a bunch of work before the session and has an image of the finished tape much like a film director. The engineer works as the recording producer's vessel (like a cameraman) to reproduce the "imagined" sounds. These sounds do not necessarily need to sound as they would in the imaginary listener's living room or in a concert hall or club. It just has to sound as imagined for the project. The ultimate burden is on the musicians (actors) for a great performance. One variation from the film analogy is the strength/ego of the leader to exert power over the others. On second thought, it might be the same in the movies with the exception of the leader being the "writer" too.

The date was 6 years old when I bought my first copy - with a gold "stereo" sticker on the front.

Not correct. SH is a reasonable remastering engineer. Never said anything different. Just never thought he was the "end all". SH has pissed on Rudy's work and made a large part of his career selling masterings of Rudy's tapes. "Amazing sounds" is not an unusual message from SH when "remastering" RVG tapes. I just think this is jive. Both are fallible guys but one is an original.

Had most of them on vinyl. Bought all the US cd reissues too. Lots of nice stuff.

Joe assured me he would open after the first of the year. I hesitate speaking of details.

You should post more often - I've missed your avatar. Real man attitude, they all love me for my body and not for my mind If that's your body, I don't mind.

Looking back to 27 seems like youth to me. How 'bout you?

Don't fret.

I accept your errors. FWIW, I know loads of Klemmer from the earliest days well into the '80s. I stopped then. Shoot me. Feel no need to revisit my "youth".

Always good to know where the balls are.

Hey Bill, can you download this for free on one of the blogs?

Hey

Do you play with the Who?

The post-Hal stuff is good but not the same as the real shit.

???! Two dates. "Kirk's Work" has AT, "Experience" has Alan Dawson.

Might be there next week. Hope to see you.

Yeah, but he could write a hell of a sting quartet. Do you know if he could pull a tooth?

Knowing how you feel about strings, I'd say you definitely wouldn't dig it. Don't get it folks, what's wrong with strings, when they're arranged as well as on this album, by Tadd Dameron? Come on... MG Hey, I've got absolutely nothing against strings. Except when they're unnecessary. Not to the artists involved. They asked for 'em or the record company wouldn't pay the money. Much cheaper to do a quintet. Take it up with Blue, Bird, Sarah, Lee, etc.

Different guy.

Coupling of two Prestige/OJC discs - "Kirk's Work" and Jaki Byard's "Experience". Two worthy dates.

Did my post specify a version? Why are you dogging me Hans? Back to the question on point. 45 rpm versions are for the audio fringe and I have a problem with people working with these tapes to cash in on these folks. Preservation of primary sources is really important to me. I hate the "bit by bit" reissues. I love the music recorded on these tapes and hate the possible degradation of them no-matter the culprit. I suggest you go back to searching for 16 bit Japanese versions from 4 passes earlier.

Really depends on the cover/pressing. Personally I wouldn't pay that much for the Bolden cylinder.
