I can dig it!

Auction HERE

Hope I haven't caught you too late: SG w/Almeida is part of the box!

Based on the track listings from AMG, these are the tracks missing from the new box: Ebony Samba (alt. take) Tribute to Stan (from the Jazz Samba Encore sessions) Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) It Might as Well Be Spring Eu E Voce (Me and You) Only Trust Your Heart Telephone Song One Note Samba (all of these from the Getz Au Go-Go sessions, although that album has never been fully represented on either box) Corcovado (outtake from the Stan Getz With Laurindo Almeida sessions) Eu E Voce (Me and You) Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) The Girl from Ipanema (from the Carnegie Hall concert that produced the Getz/Gilberto #2 album. These tracks did not appear on the original GG2 LP, but appeared as bonus tracks on the GG2 CD. To make matters more confusing, GG2 is not on EITHER "bossa nova" box). So, even if you were to get the new box, plus the recent re-issues of Getz Au Go-Go and Getz/Gilberto #2, you'd still be missing out on the tracks in bold. That said, it still seems to be a good deal, especially if you're a BMG or Yourmusic member.

FWIW , I'd rank those the least of Farrell's six CTI sides , largely because of Joe Beck . I'd rate Moongerms and Outback at the top , followed by Quartet and Penny Arcade . Canned Funk is the only Farrell CTI I haven't heard. Have to agree about Upon This Rock, though. It's okay, but nowhere near a Moon Germs or a Penny Arcade. Here's how I would rate the five I've heard: Moon Germs Penny Arcade Outback Quartet Upon This Rock

First post updated. Face still unchanged.

Yeah, but will you throw in the car if I buy the Dex RVG's?? No, but you'll get an etc. How many miles on the etc.? No miles, just a wayne.

and I know Chuck has an 8-Track in HIS car! Which, as we all know, has the ONLY 8-track copy of Snurdy McGurdy stuck in it.

Well, I've had the face for over 38 years and people had been screaming for an upgrade, so..... Anyway, it was awful nice of that Dr. Van Gelder to take care of me, but those tubes.....

Yeah, but will you throw in the car if I buy the Dex RVG's?? No, but you'll get an etc.

Al, you didn't make clear. Was it the RVG etc? No, it was the recent TOCJ-9000 issue. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the OBI strip and I didn't want to offer an incomplete etc.

Also, I forgot to mention international shipping on my original post. That's been updated.

Man, this Raiders/Broncos game has got to be one of the worst football games I've ever watched. Hell, I've seen Pee-Wee football played/coached better than this!

Rooster, check your PM.

It's amazing it even looks THAT good, considering I've had it since it came out in 1984! The cassette, that is! The face, OTOH......

I listened to it again while putting the list together and decided not to sell it (or the jewel case) after all.

$8 Kenny Drew - UNDERCURRENT (RVG) $8 DIZZY'S BIG 4 (Gillespie, Ray Brown, Joe Pass, Mickey Roker) (Pablo OJC) $12 Jimmy Smith - GROOVIN' AT SMALLS' PARADISE (RVG 2-CD set) Take all three for $25 shipped to anywhere in the US/Canada, and I'll throw in a copy of BIRD'S BEST BOP ON VERVE for no extra cost. It can make a nice gift for someone you love! Don't forget that my car is still for sale. Post here, then PM. PayPal preferred, no trades please. Thanks as always!

Just canceled my airline ticket. Throw in a cassette copy of "Chicago 17", and it's sold. Chuck will be pissed, but he'll get over it. I believe this is what you might call "sealing the deal:" So, shall I drive it there or will you be flying down here? Just let me know!

Look, Loretta, I know you like to curl up on your futon and watch reruns of your favorite pretend-medical drama with the metrosexual black & white guys, the overly-neurotic blond, and the token Latina so that every group gets offended, but lemme tell ya something: those songs are written for money, plain and simple, and yes I know it's really really really romantic to imagine these songs were written for perfect placement inside the show, but it's all about the money, kid. Money, moolah, dinero, yen, euro, and the increasingly popular Canadian dollar (AND if you say "Benjamins" I'm going to put on a pair of surgical gloves and subtly move one of your carefully moussed hairs and not tell you which one). Look Marcy, if you think these Goo-Goo Dolls wannabes are any less cynical, well.... you're one appletini shy of total sober naivete. ********** Yes to both of those and "Hallelujahs!"

Billy Joel's "My Life." I F^%$&%^$&^#&$$%&ING hate Billy Joel, I hate this song, I hate the lyrics, I hate everything about it. I hate when this happens. GRRRRRRR!!!!! Why can't I have a GOOD song stuck in my head?

Mine's on its way; I can't wait to get it! Thanks from me, as well!

Congratulations, Flurin! How long until she can haz cheezburger? Y'know, I'm not a fan of cats. We even had one, and I was not too sorry to see it go. Furthermore, my in-laws' cat is an absolute psychopath and yet.... I like this one. She hates everyone, comes and goes as she pleases, refuses to be petted (sorta like having a teenage daughter in the house). If she's in the house, I'll find her and start playing with her; I'll playfully bop her on the face (just lightly, not seriously smacking) and she'll start swipin' at me and tryin' to bite my hands. There's been a couple of times I've come away with a couple of gashes on my hands & arms, but it's all fun. When that cat goes, it's gonna be a sad day.

Hell, I'd buy a Mosaic BOX of his complete CTI recordings if there was even a remote possibility of it ever seeing the light of day.

Damn, I wish I'd taken that bet. I don't know where the "half-way decent offensive team" was today, but it sure wasn't the team not scoring against Byrd and the Red Sox today. Still, nice to know I'm not the only one whose predictions aren't always on the mark.
