  4. Somehow I missed this thread until now. I was pleased to see that one favorite of mine, NHOP, was mentioned several times. Quite the encyclopedia here. I thought I might see at least one comment about the great Aladár Pege, but unless I missed it, he doesn't seem to have been mentioned.

  7. I'll need to check some sources to refresh my memory, but I want to say that Columbia (for one, at least) was still issuing 10" LP's in the U.S. in the latter 50's. Speaking of Columbia, here's one that I always thought was a bit odd. The Buck Clayton LP "How Hi The Fi" was issued as a 12" LP in 1954, and the 10" version of the LP came out later, in 1955. There may have been other cases of this backward scenario, but I'm not sure I know of any. Interesting ... I have both but of course automatically assumed that the 10-inch LP was the earlier pressing/release. So CL 567 predated CL6326? Did you get these release dates from the Goldmine Price Guide? Not that I would want to distrust them but yet ... I don't have any documents to actually pin down their release dates, but just one pointer (maybe): I have a record mail order catalog from Al Smith's House of Jazz (South Bend, IN) from around that time (the most recent Blue Note LP listed is BL 5020, if that helps ..), and in the Columbia section the CL 6000 series runs up to CL 6302 and the CL 500 series ends at CL 521. I have no idea how many LPs were released in each series within the same time span but this looks like the 10-inch series was closer to CL 6326 (24 items) than the 12-inch series was to CL 567 (46 items). No definite proof one way or another, of course .., Thanks for that info, Steve. I couldn't say for certain either, but yes, I took the data from my Goldmine guide (1992 edition). I have another record guide that I used previous to that (O'Sullivan/Woodside; 1984) which didn't even list that 10" LP. I remember thinking that I may have had a very rare item on my hands. I sold it anyway, as Buck wasn't really my thing. Anyway, I always found that my Goldmine guide seemed to be pretty accurate and complete.
  8. Well, one Columbia that I was thinking about (a Jay & Kai 10") was apparently a 1956 release. I could have sworn it was from '58.

I thought the government recall thing was a pretty good quip.
  10. Something happened, you gotta look to find those things. Believe me, I hear you. I may have started keeping my eyes open for them later than you did (I probably started thinking in terms of collecting original pressings some time in the early 80's), but it didn't take long for me to realize how hard they were to find. Finding one in decent condition was a thrill, and when that happened to me, it was mostly buying them from guys who knew what they had (and thus a $30-$50 price tag). I think I only found a few clean ones priced cheaply, and probably never owned more than about a dozen that were VG or better. Those EP's with two songs on a side were even more scarce in my experience. So, would the government have recalled the vinyl for the sheet flooring effort?
  11. "Maybe there was a government recall, who knows?" I love it.
  12. Little did I know that Mr. Scully would pass away a few days after I posted that (he passed on Thursday, apparently). RIP.

  17. Thanks to you (and to Bill Goodwin) for clearing that up. I put together a complete song list for the videos (timings are rough, based on what was provided by the uploader). Part 1: 1. (0:00) Song For Sisyphus (Phil Woods) 2. (14:35) A Little Piece (Mike Melillo; based on a theme by Bach) 3. (30:23) Only When You're In My Arms (Harry Ruby / Con Conrad / Bert Kalmar) (I had to look this up... but too late to get a cup of coffee from Phil anyway) 4. (43:52) Shaw Nuff (Dizzy Gillespie) 5. (54:30) How's your mama? (aka Phil's Theme) (Phil Woods) Part 2: 6. (0.00) Change Partners (Irving Berlin) 7. (11:10) Body And Soul (Johnny Green / Edward Heyman) 8. (21:30) The Scene Is Clean (Tadd Dameron) 9. (31:50) Along Came Betty (Benny Golson) 10. (46:00) Charles Christopher (Phil Woods) 11. (54:00) How's your mama? (aka Phil's Theme) (Phil Woods)

  20. Hmm... according to the (albeit spotty) track listings on Youtube, "A Little Piece" was on part 1 of the uploads from the show by Jazz1_Jijimaya. Also, I found this, which is definitely not the bebop tune we're talking about: http://www.mobilmp3.tk/mp3?song=A+Little+Peace+-+Phil+Woods&id=Y3pNMWRqZERjems0WVdzPQ

  22. That list seems to be missing one tune, as there are two following ACB. The mystery tune, and then a blues at 54:00 (How's Your Mama?...?). Odd that the list was taken from the videocassette, and yet seems to be missing a track. Since Phil didn't announce the mystery tune, perhaps it's been a mystery all these years. Anyway, I was never really a big fan, and never heard this. I preferred Dexter's Maintenance Shop show, which I taped off tv with a cheap portable audiocassette recorder and microphone when it aired on PBS in 1979.
