    Millinder's 1941-1950 material is available on 3 Chronological (sorry Chronogical ) Classics CDs. Very nice stuff but I wonder what the benefit of a small Mosaic box (which they no longer do anyway) covering the same period might be. MG Probably better sound, but that's hypothetical now.

    I have the 1993 Rhino/Atlantic CDs of Changes One and Changes Two. Haven't listened to them in years, but as far as I can remember they're OK sonically. Don't know how they compare to the original LPs. Those Japanese Warner remasters are indeed tiring to listen to; the ones I have won't visit my CD transport very often - and that's an understatement.

    Exactly.

    Nope Just you and me, eh Pip? Looks like it.

    You removed Chris' post just because he mentioned the Stanley Crouch dustup? With all due respect, this place is becoming a little more like the Steve Hoffman forums by the day. Well, if you don't like the way this place is moderated, you know where the door is

    Nope

    Is this one of them: http://www.allmusic.com/album/ira-sullivan-1977-mw0000868543? Any idea when they will be released?

    Already being discussed here:

    Excellent set, good price.

    Seeking is included in the Mosaic Select, which was produced by Jonathan; it also has Secrets and lots of unissued titles: http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MS-036

    "Mini-LP" refers to the covers. They're regular CDs in facsimile "mini-LP" covers.

    Good to hear, even though it's not my favourite Armstrong period.

    I could be totally wrong, but I doubt Mosaic would do a Don Byas set; I think the research and licensing cost would be too high with all those labels he recorded for, it probably wouldn't be cost-effective - unless someone would sponsor the whole project, of course

    That would be "Verklärte Nacht". I have three different recordings, one by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra on DG and two chamber versions which I like better, one by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra on DG and the other by the Hollywood String Quartet with Alvin Dinkin and Kurt Reher on Testament. I'm not into Schoenberg's vocal works and I don't have much of his other work, just Rafael Kubelik with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in the 5 Pieces for Orchestra, Op.16 on Mercury and the solo piano recordings by Maurizio Pollini in his earlier years on DG. Maybe I should try the string quartets (Leipzig Quartett?) and violin concerto (Hahn?) again.

    Bullshit Please elaborate.

    And that's exactly what bugs me: people whining about "modern times" making their lives harder, but refusing to do something about it.
  23. J.A.W.
    A "CD-R from China, sold in Japan"? I doubt it. Reeks of bootleg all the way.
  24. J.A.W.
    Yes, many of them do.

    Scott, you may be right, but what is happening here is that for instance banking, filing your income tax returns, getting insurance and the Dutch version of social security and things like that are now almost exclusively done electronically and that's definitely making life harder for people who have no use for computers. I see it all around me. Looks like we have reached a tipping point there already.
