Dang!

The Norvo sides were on Comet, reissued by Dial.

None of those sessions were originally Dial or Savoy masters.

Happy birthday my friend.

All the best Greg. Wish you'd come around oftener.

No memories of Wadada's "Nuru Light: The Prince of Peace". Only three minutes and eleven seconds.

So, who do I give my money to now?

So............I guess this is the wrong place to say Cannon gives me the heebie jeebies and I only enjoy him in very small doses and in contexts where I can't avoid the irritation.

I suggest the recent Select price increases and "expense reductions" suggest more "common" titles in the future. Sales do keep these guys alive, not "plaudits". The Mulligan Mercurys might fly.

Bessie May Mucho my man!

Have you tried whacking it with a screwdriver handle? Not kidding - my old computer needed an occasional "hit" to get it going.

Boy, am I relieved that link has been filled.

MOOSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See what you started.

Wrong Cliffie. Test pressings were done on the regular vinyl used for production. The original reason was to send copies to the label and/or producer to compare the quality of the metalwork and see if this was a good representation of the approved mastering. Historically 3 or 4 copies were supplied but as the years progressed more were pressed to provide advance copies to the most important media folks. Devoting a single press to "lesser quality" vinyl for tests would be economically silly for the plant.

I don't think it is a accident this happened at the same time as the "Reagan Revolution" and the rise of the religious right.

With this discussion about the "change of style" it is interesting to consider Crazy Baby was the first Smith date recorded in Rudy's new Englewood Cliffs studio.

One of the true gentlemen.

Ghuck is going to be in Buffalo Friday night. What's in Buffalo? Our son Eric.

The (non Berlin) duo and quartet stuff with Mosca is from an Interplay reccord called How Deep, How High. This stuff was later on a Discovery cd.

I always thought he was born on the fourth of July.

Maxine Gregg/Shaw/Gordon did pop in once.

You talking about Ruth Mason/Lion or Lorraine Lion/Gordon?
