J.A.W.

I bought each of the three sets when they came out. I'm shocked they would have the need to discount those. Timeless music, certainly mucho collectable in the future, and only 5,000 of each being made. Presentation is stunning. ← Apparently sales are disappointing.

Today's final play-off result: Trinidad and Tobago 1, Bahrain 1 The second legs of the play-offs will be played on Wednesday, November 16.

The Mosaic sounds crappy. My favorite is the Japanese "Blue Note Works" CD reissue, Toshiba TOCJ-4165.

Final score: Spain 5, Slovakia 1

Hmm, you should have seen the Netherlands against Italy, 1-3. Total rubbish... Argentina against England (2-3) was much better.

Two more results: Switzerland 2, Turkey 0 Uruguay 1, Australia 0

Switzerland and Uruguay both lead 1-0 at half time.

The first result: Norway 0, Czech Republic 1

This was generally a great series, though the pressings were not very good (to put it mildly...)

Last 24 hours...

The first legs of the World Cup qualification play-offs will be played today: Norway v. Czech Republic Spain v. Slovakia Switzerland v. Turkey Uruguay v. Australia Trinidad and Tobago v. Bahrain

that'll be nice hearing some Prestige titles all fizzy and compressed with some nice armageddon volume tweaking! ← You're probably right... Ugh...

When I entered Barry Guy, I got Johann Sebastian Bach...

The McPherson is recommended!

The Glass City, I think... (City of Glass?) ← yup and the little snippet sez: "...and one day later, Huib is underway as co-driver to Copenhagen" Don't know what that is all about, but it made me spray some coffee ← De Glazen Stad was a series on Dutch TV in 1968, about people working in Dutch glass-house horticulture. Van Hemert's tune was the theme song. ← proof once more that Hans is older than I am... ← Oh yeah

No way!

Up, just in case someone has additional info.

It's November 8, just past midnight over here, so: happy birthday Paul, and many happy returns!

ZYX Germany is losing its Fantasy license deal at the end of the year - that's probably the reason for their dumping the Fantasy-owned stuff. Correction: Concord-owned Fantasy stuff, of course...

Howard McGhee/Freddie Redd's Music from "The Connection" (1960) was also released on Felsted, but I guess this falls outside the scope of the projected set.

Happy birthday.

I've just listed 3 gold CDs on eBay (John Coltrane, David Bowie, and Bruce Springsteen). Thanks for looking!
