Professor Fuchs is once more turning in his grave...

Two great albums! Another sad loss...

I saw him when he had just joined Soft Machine. It was a legendary concert, at least to me. He was way too young to go.

Congratulations!

Yeah, it's raw. But like you said, still ... I prefer Lightnin' Hopkins' late 1940s and early 1950s recordings, which were reissued on Arhoolie (Goldstar recordings), EMI (Aladdin recordings), Columbia (Mainstream recordings) and Ace (UK; Modern recordings)

It's February 8 here now, so: happy birthday Tod, and many happy returns!

Yep, got one too, pretty soon after I'd posted here. The "road" across the pond seems to take longer than the one to Texas...

I also pre-ordered the Ayers, but I didn't get a confirmation e-mail - yet...

Paying for items won on eBay using PayPal is free, but you have to pay a fee when receiving payments through PayPal for items you sold on eBay - though maybe not in Germany, if I understand your post correctly.

why German ebay? this is an english speaking audience. I'm sure Tom has a large German eBay clientele.

Utterly tasteless in my opinion.

If I remember correctly Michael Cuscuna has said that this series won't be revived because of poor sales. I don't think it was Cuscuna who said that the West Coast Classics bombed. It was Tom Evered (tomatbluenote) who said it bombed. Cuscuna is still trying to get the PJ stuff out as evidenced by his work with Mighty Quinn. Kevin Thanks for the correction, Kevin.

Forgot to mention that it is a Connoisseur set.

Here's the cover of Introducing Kenny Burrell: The First Blue Note Sessions:

All 5 tracks on K.B. Blues are included in the 2CD-set Introducing Kenny Burrell.

Have you asked Hiroshi if he could help?

Don't tempt fate and get caught by surprise, 'ol sport.........keep ejecting those minis. If you get into a jam I can always help you out by accepting the Art Pepper 'Just Friends' mini-lp! p.s. As you prepare to "throw out" all that free/improv stuff, do me a favor and gather up the worst 300 or so CDs of the lot and I'll pay you to ship the entire box to RonS in Philly. Just Friends is actually a Bill Perkins mini-LP CD - I don't have it, by the way, otherwise I'd be happy to sell it to you.

Five tracks from K.B. Blues (Blue Note Japan GXF-3052) were reissued on the 2CD-set Introducing Kenny Burrell (Blue Note 24561, still available), which also included tracks from Introducing Kenny Burrell (Blue Note BLP-1523), Kenny Burrell, Vol.2 (Blue Note BLP-1543) and Swingin' (Blue Note Japan GXF-3070).

If I remember correctly Michael Cuscuna has said that this series won't be revived because of poor sales.

Funny, I'm selling most of my mini-LP sleeve CDs, replacing them with their jewel case counterparts, and don't need extra room - yet... Must be because I'm also throwing out many free/improv CDs that will not be replaced...

it would save even more bandwidth if everyone spoke Dutch. Much less blahblah, more to the point, and much less native speakers who think that every shitty little nuance is caught by the entire world and everyone beyond. We desperately need more talk-like-a-pirate days. Go stick your finger in a dike and save the world. I'm busy, typing with one finger here now. What's your contribution?

How arrogant can one get...

Nice to see Ray Charles and Charlie Poole in that list as well.

You're welcome!
