Happy birthday, Guy! Thanks for bringing your enthusiasm and knowledge to this place!

'Teo's Bag' is on 'The Collector' but not 'Etcetera', Clifford. At least on the LPs. 'Teo's Bag' turns up on that 6CD Herbie Hancock box as well I think. That's the one that's on the CD issue of Adam's Apple. To avoid pontential confusion: "Teo's Bag" and "The Collector" are alternate titles for the same tune, and it was recorded at one of the sessions that yielded the 'Adam's Apple' album. So the album 'Etcetera' contains everything recorded on June 14, 1965, while the Japanese Shorter LP 'The Collector' (GXF 3059) substituted "Toy Tune" from that session for "The Collector/Teo's Bag" (found as a bonus track on the CD release of 'Adam's Apple').

Many thanks! I had a great day (OK at work, a lot better later on)! Since I didn't get a real birthday cake I try too look at the one Bentsy posted as often as I can.

I wondered that myself. I just figured it was a different version than the one that's on SALT SONG. I like it, though. "Gibraltar" on the current reissue of 'Sugar' was recorded at the same session as the rest of the album, but Creed Taylor chose not to include it, allegedly because he found it too monotonous... It was recorded again four months later during the sessions for "The Sugar Man", but again wasn't included on the album. I've gotten these reissues and I'm very happy with the sound. The only album I had on CD previously is 'Red Clay' (from 2001) and compared to that I prefer the sound on the latest reissue. As has been mentioned the sound is warm and full, and while I haven't compared them with the LP versions they seem to have been remastered faithfully to the original sound. A big drawback is the lack of any information whatsoever (dates, musicians etc.) regarding bonus tracks.

I'm no expert, but doesn't that look like the early 70s "Fantasy" Prestige label?

Best wishes for a great birthday, Reinier!

I've got a fair bit of CD:s that I really don't need (jazz and classical), but it's not worth it going through the trouble to (try and) sell them. There is no domestic equivalent to Amazon marketplace here and the CD stores are so picky they won't even bother with many major names. As for buying CD:s I nearly stopped two years ago for many different reasons and haven't really gotten into it again. I'm holding on to my favourites, but buying new CD:s somehow has begun to feel as exciting as buying pre-recorded cassettes did 20 years ago.

It depends on the dynamic range of the material. Low volume passages have narrower grooves. There are classical LPs with up to 45 minutes on one side.

Happy birthday, Marcus!

I tend to like the tracks featuring Tootie Heath better than those with Bernard Purdie. Anyway, "Tell Me a Bedtime Story" is a classic and one of Herbie's better tunes.

Nice to see Hubert Laws' "Morning Star" on CD! I've never heard him play better than on the title track of that album.

According to this page, 'Books LLC' is a company which is publishing Wikipedia articles in book form... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100606233435AAQ1Fds I'd rather read the Organissimo forums in book form!

Jim and the band, thanks for these ten years. I wish you all the best for the future. I never had the chance to catch you live, but your site and these forums have been important in helping me to broaden my musical horizons.

Of course I've no idea what the name really was, but several discographies give the name as 'Spotlite Lounge', for instance Peter Losin's Miles Davis Discography: http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/Sessions.aspx?s=581101 EDIT: There seems to have been a club run by Clark Monroe at 52nd street in New York in the 40s called 'Spotlight Club'.

Sadly, Hank didn't even live to be 57 years old.

Looks tasty, or... maybe not? Happy birthday Agustín!!

Does it read 45.14 or 74.14? Either way, the total of 350.14 is wrong.

$49,86 in 1966 would be around $335 in today's worth. But what about "Wife: $200"?

Side "T"?

It should be noted that supposedly additional titles have been deleted, as True Blue said that they had been able to secure a quantity of "many" of the deleted titles, not all of them, and then went on to list those still in stock.

This seems to indicate that additional titles were deleted as well. Any idea which they were?

I wish you a great birthday Bertrand!

Those I can think of are: Dedication (1974) Flood (1975) Herbie Hancock Trio (1977) Tempest in the Colosseum (1977) Direct Step (1978) A couple of others were initially only released in Japan, but have had US release since.

The owner of this message board has expressed his view on how he'd like the offering/looking for section to be used. Why not respect that? I don't think that the idea of "freedom of speech" is applicable on a privately owned web forum. As has been stated, the overall tolerance level here is high when compared to most other places.

In what way did the comments in question here add transparency about what's available?
