J.A.W.

Picked it up twice. First time was years ago, didn't like the sound compared to the TOCJs and sold it, then purchased it again recently because I wanted the non-TOCJ albums...

Same here.

The board's suddenly extremely slow right now, pages take forever to load and I can hardly access anything. It took more than two minutes for the reply button to do what it's supposed to be doing...

Happy birthday.

Something tells me there'll be a Dinah Washington set on eBay soon...

Both spellings seem to be OK.

I agree, 84 Charing Cross Road is a great movie.

Yahoo link. Sad news.

That e-mail address is correct. I use it all the time. Why don't you call them or send them a fax? The numbers are on the site.

← If you have not already done so I highly recommend giving this disc a listen. Very, very strong material. I'm going to have to track down more of their recordings. ← I have that one, but haven't listened to it for ages. Played it a few times and decided it's not for me. By the way, CDUniverse lists another RE CD.

I know, but I wanted to vent anyway... (love that smiley)

Yeah, but the colour is all wrong! ←

Well, as far as I know google just displays what's on the net and that doesn't guarantee the correct spelling. I don't know why, but in the English-speaking world the name of the flower is more often than not wrongly spelled "fuschia". According to all my dictionaries, both English and others, the flower is called "fuchsia". The spelling on the cover of Sam Rivers' "Fuchsia Swing Song" is correct:

Talking about mis-spelling...

Happy birthday.

Those two sessions have never been released on CD (not counting the Mosaic), and the LPs are long OOP.

Well, the euro was on the rise again today after yesterday's 8-months low, though not by much.
