Relating this to the weather thread - shoveling snow is great exercise. I need that in winter since Ann and I take fewer "power walks" with ice on the bike trail and our favorite trails in the woods. About 3 years ago I was at 247 lbs and got down to 190 (I am 6 ft tall). In the last couple of months I've gained about 5 pounds so I welcome the snow.

Gotta stop that damn thing from spinning. I think I can stop it.

Musta been in a public park.

This could take some serious time.

Still fucking off. This might take a while.

I'm way too busy fucking off.

Only if Joe turns his amp down. On the other hand I could bring a wire snippers and work on Randy's kit.

The original was not a "Liberty" pressing, though they owned the company by the time it was issued. This was one of the transitional releases. The "originals" (mono and stereo) were still pressed in NJ by Plastilyte (sp). Funny thing about "vinyl freaks" and "mastering freaks" is when lp was king, all the "audiophiles" had equalizers and created "road maps" for the best settings of favorite recordings. Now with cd domination, it seems to be "plug and play" and bitch.

Great response Danny.

Wouldn't take for them, eh? Guess I wouldn't either.

Seriously? What was your connection to the folks at Steeplechase that they were soliciting suggestions for the title? I set up and operated the US offices of SteepleChase around 1980. Welcome to the world of the jazz record biz. OK. But Something Different was recorded/released in 1975. I guess it took a while before you got the go ahead to set up the US office. It was not released in 1975. Where the farque do you get this info? It, like other SCS Dexter masters were held back to cash in on the Columbia promotions. Duh! http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&t...10:htk9ikkhbb19 Let me ask you this: AMG lists More than You Know Stable Mable Swiss Nights Vol 1-3 Something Different Bouncin' With Dex as recorded in 1975. Plus Strings and Things Lullabuy for a Monster Biting the Apple as 1976 recordings. Did any] of them come out in those years? How exactly did Steeplechase handle Dexter switching labels? Was it analagous to Miles Davis and Prestige before the switchover to Columbia? Or did they put out one or two LPs in '75-'76, then scour the archives for releasable sessions after Homecoming? So, after being (at worst) a liar and (at best) a braggart you want me to supply you with a bunch of information? Time for research Dan.

Edit to add that in Denmark (at least at the time) the musicians didn't need to get paid until the date was issued. Nils used this to his advantage and regularly recorded multiple dates with musicians at a time and paid later. Not saying that was "bad", just the way it was.

You should buy it but understand they don't necessarily perform together.

Crown, aka Modern. aka Kent, aka Bihari brothers licensed stuff from Fantasy and other West Coast labels. Nothing bought, just a license for a limited period of time.

Got 'em all. AND I felt good when I saw "Something Different" mentioned since I chose the title for that recording.

I had the mono lp originally. That went to pay for the AE set. The McMaster is more than interesting (not useless) but would love an RVG reissue. So much negativity about "mastering", so little discussion about the music.

I prefer the SteepleChases to the Premonitions (as a group). No electric piano.

Guess that's the price you pay for being an "individual".

Those would be my choices too.

Rick used to post here too. Say goodnight Gracie.

Wrong record.

No way to reflect category "drift". I have joined a new grouping since the poll started.

Looks like more Schaap crap. My original (Columbia CL 1445, mono, 6 eye) plays the same as the "master" on the current cd.

Very sad news. She was a lovely lady. My prayers for Sam.
