J.A.W.

Just e-mailed Dragon Records about this. Will report back when they reply.

As far as I know it was released on LP only. There was a CD. Do you have any details, such as the catalogue number? I searched several sites, but it isn't listed anywhere. [edit] The LP number was DRLP-137, so I guess the CD number must have been DRCD-137. As I said, I can't find it anywhere.

Just checked - as it is now: Digital Downloads 13% (18) 4 CD box set for $68 15% (20) 6 CD box set (with additional music) for $102 72% (96)

Well, the use of noise reduction can sometimes result in sound reduction.

It's in the right place - see the top of the page: "organissimo jazz forums - The best jazz discussion forum on the web! > General Discussion > Hammond Zone > General Discussion"

Well, in fairness, there WAS an excellent but short-lived set from (European) Sony-RCA on their 'Columbia Original Masters' series from about 2008. It is in excellent sound, about 100 tracks on 4 CDs, but now fetches collectors prices. Not much good to you maybe... That was indeed an excellent set, with good sound.

Nothing beats the superb quality of the Mosaic, including the relatively good sound. I expressed some doubts about the sound on the earlier discs earlier on, but after repeated listening I must admit that those doubts are unjustified. If Hans says it sounds OK, then.................it sounds OK You're probably kidding, but please don't take my word for it, I was just expressing my opinion. Let your ears and preferences decide.

Filmmaker and writer Nora Ephron has died. She was 71. NY Times obit

I don't view this place as close to paradise at all, actually. I'll just bow out of these kind of threads in the future. I know there's lots of behind the scenes venom. And I know that a lot of attitude I see from moderators stems from that and also sometimes by humor that doesn't come across to me that way. I'll keep my complaints and annoyances to myself as best I can. Not paradise in an absolute sense (on the contrary, there's indeed a lot of venom), but paradise compared to the moderation on many other boards.

Larry did speak for me too here. I've replied by PM to Lon's last post.

Don't know and don't really care. That's no excuse for flinging crap at the walls. Besides, he is aware of the politics/religion forum, could reasonably assume that there might already be a King thread there, thus no mystery. Finally, and speaking only as the annoying moderator I am, if someone locks a thread I've started, the first thing I'd do is think what reasonable cause there might be for this rather than make accusations. If SS is sincerely puzzled, he could have asked a simple question. Maybe you should figure it out before you start flinging crap at the walls. That is pure bullshit. And here we go again... Why don't you apply for a job as moderator, so we can start flinging crap at you. Sheesh. I'm out of here.

So members can say anything they like to a moderator, while a moderator should watch his mouth. It doesn't work that way, at least not for me; attitude from members and harassment in PMs drove me away.

It's very easy to see who's a moderator - they have "Staff" or "Super Moderator" (Rolf) under their handle in the left-hand column of each of their posts and their "group" below that is "moderator", for everyone to see. There's nothing like that under my handle, so the conclusion is simple: I'm not a moderator. You don't have to be a rocket scientist or brain surgeon to understand that. Good grief... As for you "attitude" remark, well, I don't think it'd be wise to go into that. My last post: regarding the attitude: Larry wrote "Some search you did there." That's attitude. I've seen moderators bitching about what a pain in the butt duplicate threads bring/are. Why not just let them lie? How are they such a cancerous evil? People who search seem to do fine. People who don't search, don't search. How about the attitude of the original poster? If there's anyone who introduced attitude here, it's him. By the way, he's been conspicuous by his absence in this thread; I noticed that he visited the board several times since he posted it.

Good idea, except for the PM part. More work, and if the thread starter can't figure it out by then, no PM probably is going to wake that person up. Also, PM exchanges tend to get too personal in my experience. As a psychoanalyst who had stroke and recovered from it said to a colleague who asked why, if had recovered, he had nonetheless retired: "I can't handle the hostility." In a somewhat similar vein, I just ran across this in a new book by Charles Rosen: "When I was writing a review of Alban Berg's correspondence, I remarked to an elderly and very distinguished psychoanalyst, Sophie Lazarsfeld, that I was surprised by how many of Schoenberg's students seemed to enjoy being so badly treated by him. She replied: 'I have no time to explain this just now, but I can assure you that there are a great many masochists and not nearly enough sadists to go around.'" Larry's right about PMs getting personal. I got more than I care to remember when I was a moderator; it was one of the reasons why I quit.

And another thing: this criticizing of moderators on the public board by members who, unlike moderators, bear no responsibility for the board at all, has irked me for years. If you don't agree with any decisions made, get in touch with the moderator(s), if necessary via the report button, but keep it civil and don't post (often personal) attacks on the public board. Just my 2 cents.

Nonsense, if he had done some research or if he had asked me before posting his allegation, he would have known that my moderator days ended more than a year ago and that I couldn't have locked his thread. His ignorance is no excuse for his false allegation, which I don't take lightly - as my earlier post well shows.

How about verifying stuff before posting something that's not true?? Get your facts straight and don't post false info about me - I am not a moderator anymore (I resigned more than a year ago) and did not lock your thread; I couldn't, even if I wanted to. The only thing I did was post a link to the earlier thread about Rodney King's passing; that thread was posted in the Politics/Religion forum. The link isn't broken, but if you don't have access to the Politics/Religion forum you can't see the other thread.

Earlier thread

Actually, she was 91 when she died.

Sad news and sadly forgotten.

If I remember correctly Sam Rivers' A New Conception was available for a short while in Japan as a bonus CD with the purchase of a number of other CDs in the "Blue Note Works" series.
