Doesn't the drop-down "moderation options" menu at the lower left-hand side of your thread work? Just select "delete this topic" and GO!

?? What's that supposed to mean?

I've had a few problems with them. Their delivery times are getting longer and longer, and one item that allegedly shipped in July never arrived. They promised to send me a replacement copy, but that hasn't arrived either - at least not yet...

They're even cheaper from HMV UK, £5.99 (approximately $9.40 or €8.40) each. The Dragon 4CD-set is also available from HMV UK at £35.99 (approximately $56.50 or €50.40)

Both Paris dates are available from Amazon UK for £7.99 (approximately $12.50 or €11) each, including UK tax: Paris date with Coltrane Paris date with Stitt

Highly recommended!

It's available from HMV Japan, but beware! Their shipping rates are sky high. Why don't you ask Hiroshi Tanno: hiroshi@earlyrecords.com if he can order it for you from HMV - his price will be a bit higher than HMV's, but his shipping rates are much lower.

Yes indeed. I agree that the Tommy McClennan was a crown jewel of that series. I play it quite often. But I would still reserve the supreme crown for the Robert Lee McCoy (Robert Nighthhawk). Before that disk, all reissues of that material were in absolutely terrible sound, with some tracks barely audible. That disk was like a dream come true for Robert Nighthawk lovers. For Blind Willie McTell fans, also be advised that JSP just released McTell's complete known recordings from 1927-1940 on 4 disks at a very low budget price (about $21). The McClennan and Robert Lee McCoy were indeed crown jewels, and deserved much wider attention than they apparently got. I assume the wonderful earlier Bluebird series was killed because of poor sales. Let's just hope this series will do better, even though the current reissue programme might not be as extensive as the earlier one promised to be. Anyway, I'm glad they released the Blind Willie McTell, which wasn't part of the earlier series.

CDUniverse is selling them for $13.29, BOB for $13.99 and the box set for $174.99 at the moment. Amazon UK is selling most Dylan SACDs for £9.99, which might be interesting for European board members.

When The Sun Goes Down - The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll, Vol.9: Blind Willie McTell - Statesboro Blues - RCA This is one of the best discs in this wonderful RCA series. It features Blind Willie McTell's great songs and a few songs with others (which I don't like that much to be honest) from his Victor years (1927-1932) in beautiful sound. The shellac disc transfers were done by John R.T. Davies, the metal part transfers, audio restoration and CD mastering by Doug Pomeroy. Highly recommended for the McTell solo songs!

No need to apologize! You can post as many Van Morrison threads as you like, of course

Here's another Van Morrison Blue Note CD thread on this board.

I second that, it's a great album, one of Dorham's best IMO. I like the sombre mood very much, and, like you said, the playing is excellent.

I forwarded them all to spoof@ebay.com, without opening the links.

I keep getting spoof eBay e-mails, about three or four a week. Already got two today...

Happy birthday!
