I think I missed your first cattle call on Conns or I woulda made sure that the Jutta Hipp w/Zoot one was on there.....hey, maybe you can slide it on this here list while we're the only ones watching?

I thought you were supposed to keep your vote a secret??? You turned yourself in!

It's fun to be the first guy to show up at the birth of a new poll... right after the author has voted. You voted for that Conn 500? I just sold off the JRVG of that one...yech!.

I disagree --- tracks like 'The Lover' (which would actually be an excellent closing number for a Byrd radio show imo) and 'Secret Love' from Slow Drag deserve a bit better than a plain 'ol "nice". The title track is a bit weak though.

Looks like some great sessions with Rivers, Mobley, Washington, etc. on the horns.......I think I'll buy the set just as soon as someone develops some pc software that'll both eliminate clicks as well as the organ from a recording.

My name in Larabee.

<<<<<My first thought was, "They let people like that have kids?">>>> What an elitist !!! BTW, Tubes fans wrote the original book on child rearing...didn't you know? <<<<<I don't know that I've ever actually heard the Tubes. >>>> I'm a bit surprised to hear that.......thought the "arch parodists of the consumer society" would have been right up your alley?

Does anyone know if any of the The Tubes first three lps (on A&M) ever appeared in mini-lp format -- 'Young & Rich", "The Tubes", "Now"......or even "Remote Control".

Yes I did.

Well, you're probably right....but there was that ominous sounding bit "I've really learned to like...". Having never heard any of his material I thought I might have yanked the 'BUY' lever too quickly.....sounds like it'll be a good one though.

Sounds like a good one to make a play for....thanks.

The CD had been played before I bought it. Upon first inspection after purchase, the "play" side displayed under light some blemishing from use toward the outer edges--this had been disclosed before purchase but with the proviso that the CD played out perfectly; nonetheless, this still caused me initial concern. But lens inspection at my home laboratory showed that the blemishing has not truly cut into or worn away the surface integrity of the disc. Well, at least he's thorough....but geez, wonder what other unspeakable horrors are being visited upon those poor little cds in that lab of his ?

Lifted from an eBay item description: Over the past few years I've watched copies of this CD sell at the established (non-Ebay) jazz auctions for between $65.00-$125.00. An average price expectation for dispossing of a mint copy of this CD at reputable jazz auction would average approximately $85.00. Where are these established/reputable non-eBay jazz auctions? Given the commanding presence of eBay, I'm a bit surprised that they haven't yet withered on the vine.

That does it! Beer for everybody, Rooster's paying. Rooster......send us some Gates BBQ to go with the brews.

The "Groovin' for Nat' one that Ghost mentioned is a real nice one with dueling Byrd/Coles trumpets all around. "Child's Play" is a great song. The McGhee "Sharp Edge" is worth searching around for as well.

Nick Stabulas

Ya gotta admit....there really are some funny ones out there. In the past couple of weeks I've seen these at various Japanese music sites: Billy Taylor "With Four Fruits" Mungo Jelly "Don't Have to be in the Army" Horace Parlan "Happy Flame of Mind"

Mal Waldron

Stan Levey

That's right.......they can eat flaming death!
