I think you'll find that the Commodore set will be available as a direct-to-brain microchip implant long before then!

amazon.de states 12 october release date, amazon.co.uk hasn't listed it yet (I asked them and they don't have info on it yet)

Wow. Things appear to be on a downward spiral indeed...

You might be right. I edited the title...

Going to hear them at Ronnie's at the end of the month. Any recent reports?

According to another site: They're kidding me, right?

Don't shoot the messenger... uhhhh....

SAMMICH!!

Those Jazz Views usually are.

Really? I thought the system was introduced in both countries at the same time. Can you mention one or two titles which were issued with CC in Netherlands and without CC in UK? I'm just curious - it's not a test!

I have been telling myself that my backlog is under control... but I counted this morning and found that I still have about 150 unplayed CDs (plus maybe 20/30 LPs). This is about the same total that I had a couple years back when I decided to cut down on new purchases and work through the backlog... I thought I had really cut down! I feel a bit ashamed about this and have resolved (once again) to work through the backlog instead of buying new stuff. So fess up - what kind of backlog are you running? And how can you justify new purchases if you have so many still in the shiny wrapper?

Fabulous. Thanks for taking the trouble, Jim!

Except Europe, actually. All new EMI Jazz CDs throughout Europe are Copy Controlled.

I followed the link then clicked to the home page. It told me 'You are visitor number 1 to this page'. Man, sure is quiet in here.

Let's hope EMI goes the same route.

Is he? Can you link me to any information?

I'm glad to see the whole is on CD. Schuller also has several jazz influenced classical pieces, most of which I have never heard, although I have an LP of Seven Studies on Themes of Paul Klee which is good if not overwhelming. There are (I think) two Schuller compositions on the LP released as Vintage Dolphy. I listened to them again a few months ago but found them unconvincing.

The tracks with Ornette are on the Ornette box. There may have been a short-lived (Japanese?) CD of this but I'm not sure.

Happy Birthday! Try to stay upright...!

How much influence did Trane have on the Impulse output? He certainly never seems to have gone overboard on trumpeters...

So... what were we talking about? Ah yes, the Mosaic Complete Incomplete Recordings of Schwitters Ursonate. The booklet with this will be awesome! A definite pre-order!

Che cavolo...

I'm a man of mystery.
