does anyone have any info on this cd. i saw this at a local record store today. i noticed that it is on verve, but it does not seem to be included in the complete verve box. what's up with that?

interestingly enough, i was listing to "dial e" and "radium" last night, and i had to take one of them off (i forget which) because i could barely hear it. does anyone know of any problems with either of these releases?

i have an extra sealed copy of "blowin' in from chicago" that i did not find until after the rvg was released. doh!

a few that have been mentioned - "betty blue," "apocalypse now," "casablanca," and a couple that have not been mentioned, "the stunt man" with peter o'toole, and "big" with tom hanks is a seriously underrated film.

well i finally got the one mosaic i was missing - the ike quebec / john hardee. i was on vacation last week, so i was able to stay up late after my wife went to bed. i was on the computer on wednesday night, and i decided to check ebay before i shut the thing down. it's 12:30 eastern time, and the quebec/hardee had been listed 11 minutes prior with a "buy it now" of $140! i couldn't believe my eyes. i was so excited / nervous, that i actually became slightly dizzy. i immediately jumped on it. the set arrived today - yippee! keep in mind that a copy of this set sold for over $300 just a few days prior.

i have a copy of jungle music i can sell.

glad to see vonnegut on this list. i was going to recommend "confederacy of dunces," but it's by john kennedy o'toole. unfortunately he commit suicide before the book was published. his mother took it upon herself to get the book published (his first), and it went on to win the pulitzer prize.

i got 2 years for $27.95 at this site. www.bestdealmagazines.com

what is the current promotion? also, does anyone know what the last catalog was? the last one i received was number 49, and i had to ask for that one. i've bought every set (more or less) since the don cherry set, and for some reason i have only received 1 of the last 8 catlogs without asking for it. i've asked over and over why this keeps happening, and all they can do is tell me i am in the computer, and i should be receiving a catlog.

that story has been big news around here. front page of both papers and on all the evening news programs. it really is quite amazing.

this is actually the first time i've ever "pimped" my stuff on any board. i was on the bnbb every day, but i never mentioned that i was selling on ebay. i've always been up in the air on this issue, but i guess i've landed on the side of "it's okay." i do understand some of the comments though.

i've got some items on ebay right now, and a few of them are not doing as well as i thought they might. there are a few oop jazz titles that might interest some members. thanks for looking. bob i can't seem to get a link in here, so if you are interested do a search by my user id - rries

if you have a discover card and are due a cash back bonus award, they will double it in border's gift certificates. you can request them in $20 incriments. for example - if you ask for $20 they will send you $40 and only deduct $20 from your total. that way, everything at border's is really 1/2 price. (it's actually even less, since the cash back bonus award is a gift from discover anyway).

i was an english major, and "the sound and the fury" is my favorite book. the first time i read it, i had to stop 1/2 way through the benji section and start over. it gets easier each time you read it. for my money this is a very complicated love story. if you read it from the point of view (like the beatles said) that all you need is love - it makes perfect sense.

i just picked up the "Verve Jazz Masters 50" by Sonny Stitt, and i am listening to it now. Why this collection is out of print i will never know. There is not a bad song on it, and i believe only about 2-3 of the 12 have been available elsewhere on cd. Mosaic ought to do a Sonny Stitt Verve collection.

i made my wife go with me to a small club here last summer. she is not much of a music fan, and she absolutely loved it. she knew nothing going in, but the next day she made me give her some of my patti cd's for her car. the cool part during the concert - it was a small, loud, smoky club, and someone down in front brought their toddler. patti stopped the show mid song and made them leave. she explained that she loves kids, and this was no place for a kid. that was cool.

an easier question is - which ones aren't you buying? i won't buy them all at once, but i will buy every single one of them. i was in a store this week, and they were playing an old copy of "blood on the tracks." sometimes i forget just how good that album is. there is nothing coming out today that could touch that record. much less is there any established artist working at that level. (now i sound like a fogey.)

a sealed copy of "the all seeing eye" showed up at my local borders about 2 months ago. where was that when it was worth mucho denero? let me know if you are interestd.

i see the missunderstanding now. there is a discrepancy between what soundscan counts and what the recording industry counts for gold and platinum status. thanks for clearing that up.

just thought of another one that does not get mentioned enough - arthur alexander. his elektra album from the mid 90's was astounding.

okay, i am disputing the 220,000 paying customers. i believe soundscan counts the number of cd's sold.

i'm not disputing soundscans number of units sold, i'm clarifying that they count the number of cd's sold. so that the 220,000 units translates into only 73,000 paying customers. this was how garth brookes planned to outsell the beatles. he repackaged his first 6 releases into a 6 cd box, but it only had a $40+ list price. each box counted as 6 cd's. he also sold his 2 cd live cd for the price of a single cd. he's a tricky little bastard, but the beatles released "1," and now garth will never catch them.

i would love to see the tubby hayes material get reissued. that is some wonderful music that should be heard by more people (and in better sound). and i will always cast my vote loudly and persistently for better treatment of the columbia basie material. the 3 cd's that out there now are a disgrace.

i believe they count the actual number of cd's sold. so the 3 cd live set only moved 90,000 units. when you consider that it was possible to get as cheaply as $15, that may not be as impressive as it sounds. of course, i picked both of them up the day they came out.
