My pleasure!

Well, it didn't happen in New York, or Boston, so who cares! Seriously, it was a hell of a pitching job, Tim, well, lets call him Tim K., on Baseball tonight mentioned that not one pitch was thrown above 90 MPH! And to do that against the Ranger's lineup is very impressive! No it ain't; this is the RANGERS were talking about here. Seriously, that was freakin' cool, even if it was against my team.

I, for one, am predicting an upset. And I'm a Mavs fan.

Happy birthday, fellow Texan! Click here for a special birthday surprise!

Man, this is ugly. Seven minutes to go and down by 30. Bleah! I guess we know who WON'T be starting any playoff games.

What is there to say? You've seen one Rangers season, you've seen 'em all. Same story, different actors. I know; I've been a fan for the last 30+ years.

Yes, get both deluxe editions. The respective live sets are well worth the extra bucks.

You got THAT right! I keep hoping that I'll stumble over a copy of JOHNNY SMITH the way I've stumbled over THE SWINGER AND MR. SWING, the Lalo Schifrin VEE, MOTION..... figure it's only a matter of time!

Well then, maybe I'll leave it up for posteriority!

Updated. This thread will self-destruct tonight (I mean, beyond the self-destruction already taking place )

You said YOU wanted to keep them. I'm hurt!

Aw, c'mon man: I just put on my parachute pants for this thread! Sale pending on the 80's BG. Seriously!

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, gets the Izod shirts. Or the Styx records.

??????????? What'd I miss this time?

All prices include shipping to US or Canada. SOLD $7 Benny Goodman-Live at Carnegie Hall (The old 80's version. Jewel case has a couple cracks. CDs are all scratched to hell, but are playable for the most part. Caveat emptor (ie no refunds on this one). Maybe you've got a good CD polisher and have to have this version. In any event, that's why it's so cheap) SOLD $15 Benny Goodman-Live at Carnegie Hall (The Phil Schaap revisionist-history-masquerading-as-some-major-earth-shattering-discovery, complete with surface-noisy crap sound. Still, the packaging is nice!) (Yes, I got the disconforme issue. It smokes those two, BTW) $4 Mwandishi: The (halfway) Complete WB Recordings of Herbie Hancock (Disc two only, no booklet. I lost the first disc and the booklet when I moved seven years ago. I've since re-purchased the entire set) $7 The Complete Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster Sessions (VME. Discs are pretty scratched, but entirely playable. NO booklet. The digipak looks like it was stomped on by a pack of hormone-crazed wolverines.) PayPal only. You can't say you weren't warned. (Yes, I wanna get rid of these; I just don't wanna feel like I didn't tell you about how cruddy these were before you got 'em in your hands) SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE THE FOLLOWING OFF OF MY HANDS: Kenny Dorham UNA MAS RVG slipcase Miles Davis COMPLETE BIRTH OF THE COOL slipcase Free to whoever PMs their address to me. I just can't bring myself to trash them, since I no longer have the discs.

I've been going through each album one day at a time, and today I'm on STAND. Will post when I get to RIOT (might take a few days before getting there, as I wanna soak up the first four albums worth of grooves first!) Oh yeah, have I mentioned how FANTASTIC these discs sound?

Oh yeah, and the set sounds FANTASTIC!!!! Listening to Dance to the Music right now, and I wish I could, but I'm at work!

Mine are still showing as "pending," meaning they haven't actually gone through, but the money is being held in suspense until the authorization finally expires.

How cool is this? My sister is giving the Cohn/Newman/Green set to me as payment for doing her taxes! WOO HOO!!!

Genesis Seconds Out, because Chester Thompson KICKS ASS!!!

Got my copy at the local BB, and they price-matched the 39.99 price without any haggling on my part. They just said, "Yes, we can match that." Very smooth.

(affecting pseudo-RRK voice) Bright Moments is like sharing the love of jazz and good community with a dude who is hip enough to adopt the name BRIGHT MOMENTS!!! Happy birthday, fella!!!

The Mosaic has a few more tracks than the Lone Hill, I think they're all just alternate takes.

I've been taken care of! Didn't have to give up my Mosaics, and will continue to scour the used LP bins for the Buck jams while listening to what I'm being supplied with. As for cross-dressing, well... let's just say I've got more than I'll ever need for that.

Who'd ever have thought I'd find the Disconforme edition at the local public library??? Well, I did. Brought it home and ran a quick A/B on "Life Goes to a Party." The Disconforme wins by a mile. Minimal surface noise and no loss of musical fidelity. Plus the only tracks are those for the actual tunes, so I don't have to skip over applause tracks. I am truly amazed at how good this sounds!
