Collectables usually reissues the original LP as it was - I don't know of any instances where they have done any remastering or altering in any way, so I assume that the Collectables CD includes the fake applause. As I'm sure you know, sometimes when they put two albums on one CD, they are forced to drop a track or two. The LP had 7 tracks: The Time and the Place, The Shadow Of Your Smile, One For Juan, Nino's Scene, Short Cake, Make Someone Happy, On the Trail.

I just picked up Mosaic's release entitled "The Time and the Place". When I heard that they were going to reissue this, I wondered if they were aware that the original Columbia LP was a studio recording with fake applause dubbed in. The concert had taken place at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Columbia recorded the show, but for whatever reason, they decided not to issue the live recording, and had the band come into the studio a few months later to "recreate" the concert. The result was a fine LP, even with the sonic deception. I had the pleasure of seeing this group twice back in the 1960's, so the record has always been a favorite. Well, this "reissue" is not the original LP at all - it is the live recording that has been sitting in the vaults all these years. Like many live recordings, there are a few warts, but the music is wonderful, and I highly recommend it. The band is Art Farmer, Jimmy Heath, Albert Dailey, Walter Booker, and Mickey Roker. By the time the band recorded the originally issued LP, Dailey had been replaced by Cedar Walton, so this new release is especially valuable. http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=1010

Technically, maybe. Berlin was born in Russia, and came to the US when he was five. All of the songs were written in the US.

I remember this show from the 1950's. It has to be one of the tackiest shows in the history of TV!

We are in day 4 of a blistering 90+ heat wave. We New Englanders ain't used to this shit! But it's OK, the Celtics are up 2-0.

CBS/Sony has lowered the list price for a number of items in their catalog. These are the same titles that sold for around $12.00 a year ago. I don't believe there has been any change in the actual CD's, just a lowering of the price structure. This is the company's way of addressing the very soft CD market. The company has a very large catalog, and rather than delete slow-moving titles, they have slashed the wholesale prices, and are offering them to retailers on a no-return basis.

One of the true originals. RIP, Bo.

That's OK - y'all can't get good Italian sausage sandwiches or pizza out your way. It's a regional thing.

Years ago, all doughnuts were made on the premises at Dunkin' Donuts, and they were go-o-od! Somewhere along the way, as the compnay expanded and had a shop every few blocks, they changed that policy, and nowadays the doughnuts are made at some central facility and delivered to the individual stores. At that point the quality went down. In regards to the Dunkin' vs. Krispy Kreme controversy, a few years ago Krispy Kreme decided to expand into the northeast, and the very first store was on a main drag about two miles from my house. I watched daily as the construction neared completion, since I passed it twice a day, and when the shop finally opened, you wouldn't believe the mob scene! Cars were lined up literally around the block, because they were giving away free doughnuts! My curiosity was piqued along with everyone else's, but I waited a couple of weeks until the lines had subsided, and finally I got in the drive-thru and picked up a dozen doughnuts and brought them to work. For years I had heard from southerners about how great Krispy Kreme's doughnuts were, and now I finally had a chance to try them for myself. They are selling a different product than Dunkin'. Dunkin' offers what we call a cake doughnut, heavier and more solid the the raised doughnuts offered by Krispy Kreme. Although Dunkin's cake doughnuts are second rate, there are a few mom & pop shops around that do offer a high quality, freshly made cake doughnut, and even though I rarely eat doughnuts these days, I occasionally do enjoy a warm plain doughnut, which is crispy around the edges. After expanding for about 3 years, Kripsy Kreme threw in the towel in the northeast, and closed all of their shops. They will not be missed.

I'll second that. Heard it when it came out, and dumped it. Over the years the reputation of this record has soared. Several years ago, I had a chance to reevaluate it, and it came up short again. What am I missing?

I've had the set for nearly a year now, and have a few comments. I like the sound a lot - it's clear and detailed, and I don't hear any excessive noise reduction that others have noted. One thing, though - I have to turn the volume up much louder than I do with other CD's. For some reason, the set is mastered at a low volume. The music is wonderful. We get to hear Chu in all kinds of settings - the big bands of Cab Calloway, Teddy Hill, & Fletcher Henderson; small group sessions with Wingy Manone, Putney Dandridge, Henry Allen, Mildred Bailey, Teddy Wilson, Gene Krupa, & Lionel Hampton, and two sessions led by Berry that compare favorably to his Commodore dates.

There's no denying the strong resemblance between these two songs, but is "It Must Be Jesus" an actual original composition? I believe that this song is also known as "There's a Man Going Around Taking Names" (or something like that), and may have folk origins that are not clearly traceable to a specific author. This kind of "thievery" is commonplace in traditional music of many types. Just ask Bob Dylan.

Just came home from seeing the Don Friedman trio at Sculler's in Boston. The trio, with Martin Wind (bass) and Joe Hunt (drums) sounded great. I've admired Friedman fot decades, but this was the first time I'd seen him in person. He's playing as great as ever! And who was sitting at the next table? Jazzshrink!

I got mine two weeks ago. I understand that they are being sent based on the last two numbers of one's social security number. Mine are 02 so I guess I was near the top of the list.

This test is bullshit. I got 57% (Dixie) Barely into the dixie category. I have lived in the Northeast my entire life, although I don't have a pronounced New England accent.

The record was first issued in the late 1970's.

I'm bowled over about the losses reported by Larry and Jazzbo. I can only echo the sage advice offered by many here - that a tragic loss such as yours takes its toll in ways that we cannot predict, but eventually the pain does subside, and the old joy does return. I lost my kid brother in a senseless accident some years ago, and it was many months before I could get it out of my head, and it definitely took away the joy in many things in my life. Eventually I returned to my old self, as I'm sure you both will also do. Secor - I saw "The Visitor" last week. Wonderful film, highly recommended!

Many Many Happy Happy!

Sorry, I couldn't take my eyes off his rug!

I think the list and Lord are wrong. The listing for 86025 is almost certainly incorrect. I've never heard of a Columbia Record Club pressing having a different number. Michael may have meant Capitol Record Club, which did assign different numbers to their pressings, but what are the odds that the numbers would be so similar? Whoever supplied Mike's information gave him a mistaken item. I know it's possible - I was one of Mike's contributors!

The dark green is the earlier label. The Limelight label, a subsidiary of Mercury, came into existence around 1965. The albums had deluxe foldout jackets with fancy die-cut inserts, designed to compete other high profile packages produced by labels such as Impulse and Verve. Around 1967 the design was streamlined - the jackets were now the standard non-gatefold type. About a year later the label design was changed to pink.

Jim, My deepest condolences, Jim. I know that this is little comfort, but take some consolation in the fact that he went quickly without a long protracted illness, even if it is about 20 years too soon.

Ruby has a string of fine releases on Concord which can usually be had for short money. I've got most of the Arbors discs as well, and there isn't a dog among them.

I didn't get that at all! I think Juno was taken with Bateman's character because she saw him as a real cool older guy, and he was perhaps a little flattered. As she got to know him, she realized that he was somewhat shallow and immature, and that it was his wife (who at first seemed like a typical yuppie) who really cared about the baby. I think that the whole relationship between Juno and the couple helped Juno to see past first impressions in her perception of people, to "grow up", if you will.
