When I try to post images of album covers on the new forum, this is all I get. Where am I going wrong?

Happy Birthday, Jim!

Al Cohn, Joe Newman & Freddie Greene (Mosaic Select) Will clearly have to learn how to post images again! Guidance anyone?

Interesting to see downloading mentioned by both of you. I'm not into this, but jazz radio and free streaming are important media for me.

With all due respect to committed vinylists, having bought vinyl for thirty years from the late fifties till the end of the eighties, for the last twenty years I've preferred the CD format. Yet I occasionally still buy a vinyl disc - very occasionally, as I find I've only bought a dozen in the last twenty years while amassing hundreds of CDs. When I come to analyse my reasons for these occasional purchases, I find the discs can be sorted into the following categories: Items on wish list but unavailable on CD at the time of purchase Bob Brookmeyer, Blues Hot and Cold (Verve) (used) Basie at Birdland (Roulette) (new) George Coleman, Big George (Affinity) (used) The Gerry Mulligan Songbook, Vol 1 (World Pacific) (new) Seen in record store and bought on impulse Art Pepper, The Way It Was (Contemporary/Boplicity) (used) Al Cohn, Cohn's Tones (Realm/Savoy) (used) Bill Holman, In a Jazz Orbit (VSOP/Rex) (used) Jo Jones Special (Vanguard/Pye) (used) Introducing Carl Perkins (Dooto) (used) Mel Lewis, 20 Years at the Village Vanguard (Atlantic) (used) Vinyl mistaken for CD!! Bob Florence, Westlake (Discovery) (used) Bought it from the French site Priceminister and didn't notice the "33 tours" that indicated it was vinyl!! And finally, the tragedy! Stan Levey/Red Mitchell, West Coast Rhythm (Affinity) (very used) Two great looking 1954-55 sessions which have never been on CD as far as I'm aware, but LP proved to be absolutely unplayable! So, any other occasional vinylists out there, or are you 100% CD or 100% vinyl? How do your CD/vinyl experiences compare with mine?
