couw

hey, I still have those DooBop PDFs on my hard disk somewhere!

that Japan set has some heavy shite on it. not for the faint of heart.

luckily we have brownie

We'll be there a couple of days later. Don't buy all the good stuff away!

it's Ronnie Scott's right? Gifts & Messages they titled the thing in a previous incarnation. From November 1964. Yeah, I have that. Pretty good stuff, this is about as high energy as it comes.

I think it put the challenge on a higher plan. Monk started to hone out his music, really polishing the edges, if that's an expression to be used in case of Monk, and looking for (and usually finding) new things in the old stuff to work with. So he took his own high standards as a base and tried to improve upon that.

You missed that I let my ears do much of the talking too. Like I wrote, these disks DO NOT pose a problem for me. Of course I could then stand tall and save the rest of the world. But I'm a weak, spine- & heartless bastard I guess. Much of this seems a big knee-jerk from the music loving communities. All I have read up till now is "hooo, the did something to it, it HAS to be bad for the sound." Well, it isn't. You make it sound as if non-redbook standard CDs are like pissing on the scriptures, I'm not that much of a fundamentalist. I need to have fun in my life too. Of course I let my money do the talking, but I am not any different than any of the other consumers, also here on this board, who keep complaining that CDs are too expensive in general. You may of course look down on me, but I cannot be bothered by that, really. As a poor sod, living in a foreign country, who will not even get a credit card from his bank, ordering from overseas is not as easy as for all you rich people. More things you will not understand I am sure. So now, if YOU have anything of substance to add, let me have it.

did you read my post or is that a gun in your pocket?

you may want to start with the Yusef Lateef thread

If you dislike Sonny so much, why bother even reading a thread devoted to him? And then to make a confusing joke about it... ? just because you were confused, does not mean that all others were confused. I was confused too

couw likes music, but couw likes his wallet as well. ordering these disks in non CP format from the states is an option, but german custums are very good at their work and eager to please, and even if they wouldn't throw on another howmanypercentisitanyway, the disks would come more than twice what I pay for CP disks when I get them from this side of the Nile. couw proceeds to copy the disks to CDr which gets rid of the baked in errors and that's that. sure these disks are probably more sensitive to bad handling, but I don't handle them bad. sure these disks may not play on a DVD player, but I don't have a DVD player. sure these disks may skip on my diskman, but the CDr copies don't. sure there are many complaints about this CP scheme affecting sound quality, but thus far they have not been solidified other than in highly subjective opinions; and in my highly subjective opinion, the music on these disks is pretty good and I have no complaints about the sound either. and sure I may be termed out of my right mind when I buy these disks, but hey, I'm a lazy bastard with a slim wallet and I want to hear my music. fussing about inaudible sonic differences and NOT getting the music because of that is silly too. and that is what it would amount to for me I am sorry to say. lovely to know that these can be had for twice the money in non-CP form from across the globe, but whereas I may have a problem with a copy protection scheme per se, in practise it isn't all that big as it does not affect me in any way other than that an equally empty wallet means more disks in my racks. I respect the hell out of you all for your crusade to boycot and not buy these, but it's too rich for me to go elsewhere and I want to hear some new stuff anyhow every now and then.

tadaa! great!

WHY??? I was just going to have a deep look at that 'Turning Point' cover of which I had a glimpse earlier today! Hope you're going to reissue it? because they took up too much space and I needed some for those mp3s from the east. Those are cool too! anyhow, I can upload some upon request, no problem

thought I did, but can't find them. That "Maltz for SACD" was pretty hilarious. maybe we can remake some of them.
