According to CDUniverse the street date is now February 24, 2004.

I found the guitar parts so annoying that I decided to sell this CD. I agree with Tony, though, that the rest of the album is great.

...Though there aren't that many beans to spill...

You're killing us. Spill the beans! Seriously, it's up to Chuck whether or not to spill any beans...

I've compared the XRCD and CD-layer of and the SACD is a clear winner. It's warmer, yet more detailed and transparent than the XRCD. The SACD is highly recommended, and, most important of all, the music is great!

I just received the Wynton Kelly (Kelly Blue), Miles Davis (Relaxin') and Eric Dolphy (Out There) hybrids, and I'm waiting for the Cannonball Adderley (In San Francisco). I'll compare the CD layers with my XRCDs (Kelly, Miles), U.S. 20-bit K2 (Adderley) and Japanese 20-bit Digital K2 (Dolphy)

Which Warne Marsh are you referring to, the one with Lee Konitz or his Atlantic date without Konitz? I haven't seen either in this series.

Chuck, Sent you 2 e-mails.

AllDirect.com CDUniverse As far as I know it's no longer available from Deep Discount.

Two Mosaic auctions with misleading descriptions, stating the sets are OOP and rare: here and here.

I second that!

Same here. Thanks Jim.

Ubu, Are you sure you didn't get a headache from listening to that Miles set?? Seriously, it sounds like "heavy" listening to me.

Very sad news. Great story, Chuck.

The Atlanta Concert is a fantastic recording! If anyone is remotely interested in Brotzmann w/ Hamid Drake you should grab this asap as it is a limited edition of less than 1000 and has been out for a while. Pity this isn't on CD (had to sell my turntable and vinyl collection years ago)

According to the Frog (UK) website Bessie Smith Vol.7 is now available. This series is highly recommended!

I wonder what deus will look like in a year's time. having a cake a day

I have to think about that one

Could be an interesting way to ease prison overcrowding? Jail more cannibals and let them lose amongst the general prison population? EAT your way to freedom? I realize that these suggestions may not be popular... It's a way to dispense with executions... This thread is getting more morbid by the minute...

Hmm, I don't know... I still need some Leo CDs and it would have been nice to get them at the prices DD (Д.Д.) mentioned (Berkshire doesn't have them)

Postmodern spam, that is...

I don't think so... Just got this e-mail from Leo: Dear Sir, I am sorry to disappoint you. It was a Christmas sale, but the X-mas is over. Regards, Leo

...but not always.

Sorry Jim, I deleted my last post. The speed varies, but now it's pretty fast again.
