tanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu!

thank you! you're right - we usually think of compilations being more disparate in what they present. by the by, does 'take off' reproduce original lp covers?

you referred to a 2 disc miles comp in general so i was asking which one it is... i'm presuming it's this?

*precisely*!!! lon - more about the comp, please....

i was asking all to whom the question applies, really. i have the 24-bit toshiba from a couple years ago, but these shm's have something to them. what is it? an analog air about them? headroom? all or none of the above? whatever it is, when i put one on i hear it. surely it's not a placebo effect...

am i too late to make a riff about scottish summers, much less winters, potentially being the cause of the trauma...?

Me too. I'm not so focused on sound-quality issues, but this new issue was a big improvement. And the bonus material was an amazing surprise, and well worth the upgrade (for the new material alone). what were your prior pressings of it (i.e., what are you comparing it to)....?

there's more than a trace of this that also applies to the major, shall we say, consolidation of newspapers and magazines that result in a loss of revenue that in turn has a real effect in the depth of coverage as well as serious investigative journalism. but maybe that's a different beast altogether that i shouldn't mention here, but the relative effects are somewhat correlative, right...?

true, but i think he's speaking for a pretty large piece of the pie graph. i'm constantly hearing people i know and overhear talking about getting, listening to, and consuming their music from you tube. obviously, from where i sit, i think that's pretty sad, but then i wonder, divorced from the royalities equation, how different is it from my grade school self listening to a radio? i've not arrived at a very conclusive answer yet, but i still think foosball is the devil. and in this case, you tube represents foosball.

what a particularly brutal year it's been...

i think i'm a day late and a dollar short, maybe, but happy birthday, sir. thanks for being a solid guy around here and always being supportive, intelligent, reliable, and plain old fair dinkum. cheers!

ah - you got me! i don't have the shm so can't speak to any comments from cuscuna. i have the blue note works issue of 'back' and three issues of 'bag'. and while researching the bonus tracks i did think the selection of these two curious, however, could it be that they've being saved to tack on a mclean reissue as a bonus....?

why would you delete your thank you....?

'melonae's dance' and 'medina' are from a septermber 1st, 1960 session previously issued on 'street singer' and the mcmaster edition of 'jackie's bag'.

'drums around the corner' sounds phenomonal... very happy i snagged this one. the only title i didn't pick up (that i didn't already have, or want) is ' zt's blues'... i think it goes on the next order.

oh wow. rest in peace, idris. i'll never forget our hang.

succinct. i *love* that...

thank you, romualdo!

my reply from mobile fidellity concerning the sacd; "Should be out in a couple of weeks. John K Wood"

a liberty would oviously be the budget choice for the purist, however, i imagine a toshiba pressing (quiet, well imaged, et al) would trump the liberty in a blindfold test...

dare i ask where's hans when we need him....?

so when's it come out....? (just kidding - couldn't resist)

will the SACD be a hybrid?

really? no answers from the braintrust here yet? everybody must be on holiday. 'matador' tonight....!

this session is so fine i'm literally embarrassed of my prior apathy towards it. one question; is the version of "count every star" omitted here that's on the north american issue an alternate of that on quebec's "blue and sentimental"....? i -could- reach for the discography, but that would defeat the purpose of continuing the thread. thanks to all who encouraged this date.
