Very sorry to hear that, Bill. I hope your situation gets better. So noted on the Master List.

Does this allow you to save the music file as a WAV file? If so, then I'm sold on it.

You run a book store, stocked with loads of books running the gamut of genres and subjects, yet you claim to be fresh out anytime someone wants to buy one!

Nobody sent me a PM. I'm directly AND indirectly insulted!!!

The Verve 2-fer of Wes Montgomery called Impressions: The Verve Jazz Sides completely neglects Wes's jazziest album that isn't the Half Note album: Tequila.

And a bit suspect, I think. Time for a cartoon!

Oops! And all these years I thought I caught US premiere.

Cheese? He's a greedy man!

Same here. I used to watch Benny Hill on Sunday nights on KERA (this would've been 1980 or 81) and they started following that with this weird show called "Monty Python's Flying Circus," which I'd never heard of in the ten years I'd been alive. It was the episode that contained the "How to Defend Yourself from Fresh Fruit" sketch. When that 16-ton weight fell, I thought I was gonna pass out I was laughing so hard! "Well, I'm not sleeping with THAT producer again!"

Took me a while to find the groove, but once I did...... whooooooaaaa YEAH!!!! THAT was worth sticking with!

Is that the number of the beast?

Was there a mono pressing?

You see a basket of raspberries at the market and release a tiger to defend yourself Your forehead has red marks from chanting and whapping yourself with a book You have an unnatural compulsion to say SHUT UP whenever someone mentions a pointed stick (SHUT UP!) Your walk isn't particularly silly, but you keep trying nonetheless You think the song "16 tons" was inspired by Monty Python, not the other way around

If it's the one I'm thinking of (the one with Wes Montgomery), it's on Montgomery's Verve 2-fer Impressions: The Verve Jazz Sides, which he has.

You got THAT right!

If you ever happen to stumble upon the Lester Young Verve box and it's a reasonable price ($75-$80), get it. It's not exactly essential, and yes there is far better Lester out there, but it does a terrific job of documenting the last of Lester's life, warts and all.

Yeah, but it's an old one, and the only reason I found it is because I figured "Phinupi" would be a good search filter, since that was my story!

I went there yesterday to try to find an mp3 player for my daughter's birthday. They've never had great selection to begin with, but it still ended up being a waste of time. They never seemed willing or able to upgrade to the latest technology as far as POS or online inventory goes. Their registers/monitors looked like they were left over from the early 90's, and their credit card signature pads were the same ones they've been using since they first opened around here..... back in the early 90's! Sad to see them go, but surprised they lasted this long.

Jeez people, SOMEONE snap up this set! I'd buy it if I didn't already have it, and I've already bought it twice (had to sell the first one in a cash crunch and came to regret it)! Yes, I know the bulk of it is out as RVGs but the CHANT session and the session with Sonny Red and Chick Corea are not to be missed! And as much as I love the RVG series, IMHO the sound of this box is better than the RVGs, and I think the RVGs sound pretty good to begin with! I'm not related to jazztropic nor is he paying me to say this. This is probably my favorite Mosaic, so anytime I see it go up for sale I wanna make sure someone grabs it. I mean, not EVERYONE at this board has it, right?

Mine has that as well. A replacement is on its way from BMG; I'll post when I get it with the results. Received the replacement today and I'm happy to report that it does NOT have those annoying clicks on it. Way to go, BMG! And Verve, for that matter for correcting the pressings.

I received the Crusaders PASS THE PLATE and Lalo Schifrin's PIANO, STRINGS, AND BOSSA NOVA also in digipaks. For the Verve Originals that came in jewel cases, if you remove the black tray and replace it with a clear tray, you'll find more information printed on the back side of the jewel-case tray card.

You've got over 4,000 CDs and you're looking for stuff you DON'T have???? What else is left besides Bulgarian Monk Death Metal?

Jon, it looks like you have a potential, if not subliminal, buyer for that Flock of Seagulls record. And may I compliment you on your possession of Ratt's "Out of the Cellar," one of the finest examples of bad-80's-hair-metal-but-oh-so-good ever made!
