Chuck Nessa

Who you callin' John?

In reality, it should be ok.

and use a straw. And drive a car. And say goodnight Gracie.

Sure, go ahead.

All Impulse monos from Van Gelder's studio are "fold downs" from the stereo tape (just as BNs of that era were) so I'd say you be "mis-hearing".

Andrew Hill deserves some consideration.

I'm going to confuse things further by suggesting "A Ghetto Lullaby" and the two with Dexter. I'd suggest hearing a bit of "Dr Jackle" and "Tune Up" before buying - the sound is a bit rough, but the playing is fine indeed.

50???????

IIRC, Columbia (US) and Philips had a master exchange contract at the time. Columbia recorded the US recordings and they were issued by both companies. I believe Philips (now Universal) now own the masters since ML was under contract to them.

I noticed you can buy copies of the mag on the Spirit site - in case you need extras.

Sold my copy to a Japanese dealer - he was going back to sell it to a store!!!!!! Nice score.

Transition labels fall off all the time (except for TRLP-1, Jazz in a Stable which has "normal" deep-groove labels). I think they glued them on in some sort of "mom and pop" operation and over the years they just fall off. I once owned a copy of "Jazz Advance" with NO labels!! I understand that! I was asking a question. I got it on ebay about a year or so ago . . . I was asking the question 'cause I sold a copy (missing the B side label) about 10 years ago. I got something like $1000 for it. The pressing was as close to mint as a Transition could be.

You are just looking for trouble son.

Yup, those cheap injection molded lps were the pits. They did not wear well with repeated playing - no give in the plastic and needles eventually turned 'em white. Transitions, Debuts and Harmonys.

I have had 5 Transition originals. Of the 10 (glued on) labels involved only 2 fell off. The ebay offering looks legit with a small caveat - the label colors appear slightly more "vivid" than I would expect but that could be the result of the photo.

"Stupid Chuck" time.

I'm really curious where/when you got your "one labeled" copy of this record. Details please.

Something else to solidify jazz as "past tense".

Try Herm at Vertigo.

I still think this sucked. And I never got that email. I'm sure some of us have enough problems of our own, we don't need faux problems of others. Sorry if I wasn't hip enough to get the joke but for me it sucked.

Clifford needs much more time exploring Dexter.

I hate tricks. This sucks.

Go for it and die before your time.

I sent the poster a pm suggesting the same. Not a good way to be introduced to a forum.
