Chuck Nessa

Listen to the record. Is Monk on piano? The discography I use says these are alternate titles.

Wayne was the right guy for this band.

Phoney stereo?

Just a PS in the chronicle of MD, but an interesting one. I bought a Japanese lp as soon as it was issued. If MD is a favorite, I suggest getting the material. The earlier suggestion of the Sony box is good.

Can anyone provide advice for the best/cheapest model to buy for the above stated task?

No problem here.

drummer looks like papa jo with some hair on top

Just as a point of information, Lee Morgan didn't have a "process". That was his natural hair. do you really know that to be a fact? i'm sure he did "something" to it, that's for sure. That wavy shine was not natural. Lee did "something" as she said.

Sorry, started to read the thread and "dropped to the bottom". I had a really nasty experience with the "velvet frog" a while back and all I can say is "fuck him".

I feel sorry for Russ Solomon. He did a fine thing and I hope he doesn't feel defeated. Pick over the bones boys.

Nah, some day I will tell a funny story - after Rudy's gone. There were ashtrays in the studio, but not the control room.

The Schnabel set is the benchmark for me. I still have my Angel set from the '60s. I bought a couple of the Pearl sets and though I generally prefer a "non-intervention" approach for transfers, I found these too noisy for pleasure. I currently have a box on Dante (14 discs of Schnabel Beethoven) but it seems to be oop.

Just "industry" shit.

The correct words are opposite and together.

Where do they buy their glue?

All the best!

Well, Happy Pre-Birthday.!

All the best you knucklehead.

What they said.

Buy it.

Thought you be talkin' 'bout Miss Spears.

Just the music. The entire broadcast is a friggin' hoot. The "host" doesn't have a clue and is pissed he was "tricked" to present the band on his show. Lorraine Lion/Gordon tells the story in the Mosaic BN Monk box notes.

He was a Negro?!!!!!

Yup.

Pretty hard to generalize about this since the decade + span of the records in question, but it is likely they printed around 3000 covers and initially pressed 1000 records. Repressings would be made in quantities from 300 and up. This is for the average release. For the Silvers, Smiths, etc they probably pressed around 2500 initially. Towards the end of Lion's tenure, the manufacturing numbers would have crept up some. MG is absolutely correct about keeping the inventory levels low.
