First time all year!

Yes Kevin, it's the different shots of Lee that I noticed. In the original, he's like, "Oh, hey there," but in the reissue he's more like, "Saaay Whhhaaatttt?"

Just read that Partridge Family star and 70's teen heartthrob passed away at age 67. He had suffered medical and emotional problems in his later years, including addiction, divorce, bankruptcy and early dementia. Thankfully, his suffering is now over. https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/david-cassidy-1970s-teen-idol-has-died-n822426

I never noticed before the difference between the original cover and later reissues. Do you see what I see?

To each his own. I've only purchased a handful of CDs in the past few years. I just close my eyes and listen to the music. It matters not the medium that delivers it.

No problem! Mr. Wizard to the rescue!

Download it at various sites for $5-$10. Burn it if you must. Enjoy the music. Problem solved.

Yeah. Those things are often hit or miss.

A very thoughtful and substantive response. Thanks for sharing ep1str0phy.

It's very important for men to have these discussions, ugly or not. If it makes you uncomfortable, then by all means don't read it, but don't try to dissuade others from doing so.

Why the vague title? Why not "Berklee Teachers Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Students? Sad to hear that Greg Osby is among those identified in the article. Sadder still is Osby's sexist defense against the charge: "Bottom line is, and this is a bit harsh, if anyone saw my girlfriend at that time and saw [his Berklee accuser] that would probably end the argument,” Osby said. “Why would I jeopardize my career for somebody like that?”" Btw, the link works.

Yes, A-Gon was at tonight's game, and he plans to be there for the remainder of the series. What a great game!

You're talking about the white-dominated radio stations and pop charts in the fifties. What would you expect? Fats had more success on the R&B charts, including several songs that reached #1. Rest easy, Antoine, and thank you.

There's a JVC XRCD version of this recording that sounds quite good to my ears. There are also a few Japanese reissues that probably sound better than the OJC.

Let's hear it for Kevin!

Personally, I find such comments distasteful and inappropriate in an obituary thread, especially when expressed by a moderator.

I definitely think there's another side to this story. Take a few minutes to check out the jazz pages on the brewery's website, and watch this video of T.S. Monk at launch of Brother Thelonious ale.

Gay rights pioneer Edith Windsor, whose lawsuit against the federal government helped pave the way for same-sex marriage nationwide, has died at 88. Windsor was thrust into the national spotlight after suing the federal government upon receiving a $363,000 estate-tax bill after the death of her first wife, Thea Spyer, in 2009. Her case, United States v. Windsor, went to the Supreme Court, which in 2015 overturned the Defense of Marriage Act and established a constitutional right to gay marriage. Former President Barack Obama was among the many people who reflected on Windsor's legacy following her passing. "America’s long journey towards equality has been guided by countless small acts of persistence, and fueled by the stubborn willingness of quiet heroes to speak out for what’s right," Obama said in a statement. "Few were as small in stature as Edie Windsor – and few made as big a difference to America." NBC News

Saw this article about a guy who played his sax during surgery to help his doctors determine they were operating in the right area of the brain and had successfully removed the last bit of tumor. Interesting read: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/musician-plays-sax-during-brain-tumor-surgery-n796971 The article didn't mention what tune he played. "I've Got You Under My Skin" perhaps?
