Son-of-a-Weizen

Thanks Greg.....that one arrived just in time for the little post-X-mas, gift-card adventure. I went into heavy waffle mode though and couldn't decide whether to snag cds...or that 9-disc 'Inspector Lindley' DVD box. We'll sleep on it and go back in the a.m.

Appreciate the helpful advice, gents. Apperently there's still a relatively inexpensive japanese cd (in-print) version of the 'Modern Art' over at Amaz.Jp...but since that Blue Moon has the extra couple of cuts, that's clearly the way to go.

AMG advises those who're interested in the Dawn material to bypass the 10 track 'Rare Dawn' cd in part because it doesn't include September in the Rain, etc -- in favor of the two Dawn LPs ('One To Blow On' and 'The Big Stampede') that'll get you all 16 tracks. I've seen the 'One To Blow On' Lp on eBay...which seems to be the same as this Japanese one: ....but haven't seen 'Big Stampede'. Is this one floating around out there under another name in Europe or in Japan? Better to pick up the cd and one of the Lps...or best to take AMGs advice and go for the vinyl? Thank you.

Good heavens, Golden Arm!! All you guys and your lurid tales of pitched battles with buyers & sellers...and here I've never had a single problem in some 600 transactions. Guess I'm just blessed with an inibility to ruffle feathers or rub people the wrong way. .......well, there is that one buyer from Seattle that I've had a problem or two with over the years: "....weizle, or whatever your fucking name is....you are a real sleaze. ...... ..... You are a vile and intolerant scum. $#@!&%$@#$@^$@$%#$@^%#%^@#@^%#*^%$@*&^%!!

I agree with Amir. Once the buyer has paid you in a timely manner....you should take the first step and leave them positive feedback. Upon receipt of payment, I always tell the buyer that I'll be sure to go ahead & leave feedback and that I hope they'll reciprocate when they have a spare moment to do so down the road.

Will he be checking in as well? Randy Twizzle Posted on Dec 31 2004, 01:23 PM It's their world now, the bastards.

scan several thousand photos & slides and burn to disc.......take a foreign language class........give Shorter's 'All Seeing Eye' one last spin & see if 'clicks'.

Well fine then.....I'll just hijack this thread until you sort it all out. B-) ....soooooooo....continuing on w/that 'stealin' theme of yours, who out there has actually heard both the SACD & SONY remaster of this: Is the SACD really worth springing for??

There should be a longest thread category......we've got that one covered.

That's dreadful news. I'd get a kick out of how he'd periodically get all 'fired up' and hit the politics forum for a day or two at BN and this place and then disappear entirely for 60...90 days. Many a JRVG I picked up from him and in the years to come will most certainly think of him whenever I spin one. Best wishes to his immediate family.

I'm figuring it'll last until the '007' marathon over on Spike. Wow, that Grace Jones certainly was a firmly built lass in 'A View to Kill' B-)

Why? Did Soul Station go & resurrect that old BNBB thread of his?

Well I picked up a case of the 2001 a couple years ago and didn't get a cd. We polished off two bottles at the Christmas table today......it's a very good medium dry (halbtrocken) Riesling. I'm not sure if the label design changes on an annual basis but here's a scan of the 2001 'Jazz' label for those who haven't seen it. It sure would make a nice looking 20 x 16" framed print. If only do-it-yourself lithography was as easy as burning a cd. B-)

Exactly!! I could have written this word for word.

What? You talkin' about the Freeman/Earland master tape?

When you get your copy, you'll notice that on "These Foolish Things" you can quite clearly hear the next sequence of notes under the regular sound. As relayed to me by another board member, the current speculation is that this is tape print and that the tape was probably wound too tight for too long.

Re: the 'Do Not:' section of the report --- why would they advise against storing discs horizontally for years on end?

..

I voted 'other' in favor of the Paul Bley Trio doing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" back in '53 (on the Fantasy/Prestige 'The Christmas Collection') which starts in with an obviously perturbed figure (Bley ?) trying to get things rolling in the studio. ("Let's go! ....Go, Go, I'm waiting!")

Thank goodness he didn't catch sight of the $8.25 item or the streets would be filled with blood.

Although the one guy over at JC is slightly off the mark (Sprey did not design anything while over at the Pentagon....had nothing to do with anti-tank rounds & there was no 'A-1 Bomber') his overall comments are not surprising....you should hear what some of the guys who worked with him back in the early 80's on various defense-related projects have to say about him. It's impossible to begin to estimate the number of long knives that are out for that duplicitous character.

I also ordered a bunch......wish I hadn't listened to the clips of the Lou Bennett one over at AmazonFr though. That "Peter's Waltz" is pure roller rink gone nutso.

Wow...amazing! I saw this article recently about these guys down south who're real big on 'noodling' --- stand around in the muddy water and reach down into all sorts of holes on the bottom and wiggle their fingers hoping for a big cat to seize their hand so they can then wrestle 'em to the surface. Geez, some 40 lb catfish suddenly engulfs part of your lower forearm.....what a blast! Then every once in awhile you stick those fingers in the hole and there's a snapper in there who quickly removes a couple of 'em!! Even better!!!
