Big Al

Yeah, man! Go ahead and start the signup thread and let's get this ball rolling again!

Don't know. They get shipped to me, I remove the jewel cases and just ship the contents. Makes for smaller packages and less postage. I get reimbursed, of course.

I'd sell you mine except: a) I lost the DVD b) I got rid of Small Talk and replaced it with the remastered Greatest Hits (which Sony/Legacy shoulda done in the first place!) c) I'd rather not! Sounds like you got some good leads, though. Good luck!

"May I say before this record spins to a close, I want you to know that anything goes." from Songs for Swingin' Lovers Always thought it strange that that song wasn't the last song on the record!

I got everything I ordered except the two Peter Leitch discs. These were the two I wanted to hear the most, and I'm not holding my breath that these will get filled in 30 days, but hey: 16 out of 18? I'll take that! Another board member who lives outside the US had a whole boatload shipped to me: out of 65 CDs ordered, 61 shipped! My office looks like a used-CD store right now!

We've already made our down-payment at GameStop!

I thought getting the Miles Davis Quintet Prestige box would finally reveal what I've been missing all these years. Hey Skid, if you're looking for somplace to dump your JJ Mosaic, I'll gladly trade you my Miles box, some vintage Styx records (including an original Paradise Theatre with the hologram on side 2; don't worry, I've got extras), a Steve Perry autographed 8-track of Infinity, and the Chicago 17 cassette that the buyer of my Nissan refused forgot to take when she bought the car from me.

What is it about the Rangers that they can beat teams with a better record than theirs (Angels & Sox), but can't do squat against teams with a worse record than theirs (Seaatle & the Tribe)? Boggles the mind, it does.....

Love this show! Makes me wanna go to NYC that much more!

Just about anything JOS did with Art Blakey is tops in my book, especially "The Sermon" and the February 1957 sessions.

But..... that's damn near EVERY Red Sox fan, not just Dan. And even among themselves, they argue vociferously over who hates the Red Sox more! The Rangers are in the wild-card running. Woo hoo. Hey, I'm happy for them because they're doing infinitely better than anyone (myself included) thought they would do this year; but they still got a ways to go before they become the powerhouse they have the potential to be. Nevertheless, win or lose, they're my team and I'll always root for 'em!

Thankfully...

Ah. Thanks!

Rachel likes Def Leppard? Hmmmm.....

Weird Al is (and has been for a while now) on the creepy side of Weird, and this is further evidence. I didn't find this one bit funny.

Try and figure this one out, because I can't: as payment for a recent CD sale to another board member, he bought me a gift certificate to Oldies.com. I used the entire certificate plus four bucks & some change, which was billed to my CC. Two days afterwards, I received a notification that my order had shipped. There was no indication that anything did NOT ship or was backordered; however, my CC had not been charged that four bucks, either. This was last Monday (August 3). I still haven't received the order but noticed this strange thing: my credit card had been credited SIX bucks and some change by Oldies.com! Will keep y'all posted, but that's the strangest thing I've seen in a while....

First dumb question of the day (which is only three minutes old here in Texas, hence the use of the word "First"): What does OT stand for?

Loved it! That was hilarious, especially this line: "This goes on for a half-hour, which in jazz years is one song." Again,

Any chance you'll be adding BLOWIN' IN FROM CHICAGO by Clifford Jordan & John Gilmore?

Not to derail, but this is the truth. I was ecstatic when the Arlington Public Library system got MULTIPLE copies of the Miles Davis ON THE CORNER box that I didn't care what they did to the boxes! So yeah, don't cancel that order. Heck, I oughta order a few copies and donate them to the Arlington Library!

Actually, I am, mainly because they DIDN'T do that stupid trade for Halliday, and now especially since they've dumped Padilla. However, as a NYY friend pointed out to me tonight, IF the Rangers win the WC, guess who they face in the first round? Just once I'd like for the Rangers to make the playoffs and NOT face the Yankees!

Is the Stones disc the UK or the US line-up? (The UK cover is the same cover as the US December's Children (and Everyone's), whereas the US cover is a color shot of the band)

PM sent on the above! EDITED to add the McLean. NOW I'm sending a PM!

You got THAT right! Man, all this time, I thought I got a good deal when I got it at Borders for $19!
