mine was orange

Yes. it's catesta's fault. I also get a request for cookies from esounds (which is WD45's fault).

have a vinyl dub of this and it is indeed like the title and the cover: earcatching.

I updated the list with Aggie's entries. He must really like Grant Green's Goin' West!

that's because Billy is on both sessions included on the CD. The bonus cut on the Rouse Bacchanal is the same as the Lost Sessions track.

As JAW pointed out, Davis Cup (TOCJ24) sounds real bad. So we listened very attentively and there was even some distortion in places. So we whipped up a graph and parbleu, it fits. So the graph may not tell much, but it looks too much like a graph of a Christina Aqualung song not to be worried. It *is* squared at the edges during the real loud passages, so it is likely there is compression or limiting applied. Modern day rock and pop CDs show one big ugly block of sound if you make a graph. Jazz CDs do not, but they have their fishy moments as well. And one more time: the graphs were merely meant as an illustration of something that was *heard* and not the other way around.

All I have on this session is, Jazz View COD 028 google tells me that COD 28 is a Mingus disc (???) and that the only 1960 Booker Little on JazzView is the Time album in their jazz history series.

to answer the question: probably only under Italian law. Italy had a very liberal copyright law and was very lenient towards bootleggers until the late 90s. There still might be some clause that allows for unofficial recordings like radio broadcasts and audience recordings to be pressed and sold in Italy, I don't know.

Allen, this might be a long shot, but did you look in the phonebook? ( http://www.switchboard.com/ )

Eeek! I will put a big fat red "refusé" on the enveloppe and bring it back to the post office immediately, then! if only your nose were as big as the singer's you'd have smelled that one coming when it was still in Paris!

The scale is the same for all graphs.

couw got his disk and really likes how it starts off!!

looing? Like this cat you mean?

...typing while I am listening. een. sounds like a relative recent ditty. the recurring piano plingplongplong is a bit meagre to hold it all up, but the playing is better than the tune I guess. nice if a bit pedestrian. twee. somehow this is really nice, but then again it gets a bit boring. I guess I'd be real happy if this were playing on the radio while driving into the sunset with another 1000km to go, but it's not something I'd play at home. There are some truly cheesy elements just at the end of the piano solo and when the horn joins in again. Brrrr. That's oboe right? is this that Oregon band maybe? drie. awww damn Randy, you are taking this even further??! This sounds real weird, the stereo spread makes it really hollow, with the horn in the centre sounding more like sucking air than blowing it. Strange. The piano is nice I guess, but damn if I don't want to switch to something less lazy and uninterested. Even the sax when going "wild" sounds as if he's in one of these miniature driving parks where you have all the big people street signs but on a much smaller scale for the kids to learn the rules. The sound just puts me off here. vier. drats! I have this but damn if I could put a name on it... tenor sounds like Pharoah. drats again! nice positive tune. vijf. rock bass, rock drums and then straight ahead stuff on top. 's Nice! if maybe a bit "simplistic" here and there, there is a lot to make up for that. Like the bone player, nice Kneppery sound. This gets better by the while, the bass is really driving this stuff. And flute too! zes. this starts off big and then cowers back into familiar territories. Not that anything's wrong with that. That Woody Shaw? Lovely bass BTW. Yes, this is good. zeven. the theme initially conjures images of Albert Ayler. Majestic beauty combined with unexpected twists and depth. It all continues much more blahblah but I like the bone and the long windedness isn't getting on my nerves so there you go! acht. Well, duh! negen. oo! I like this. No clue but this is like walking through a busy frantic town where everything happens everywhere but with slower patterns on top. Thanks much Randy. Nice how this covered some of the more accessable territories while scratching at the bumpy ride stuff as well. And all in ONE disk

You can see that the high end has a similar curve to the TOCJ BNW, albeit with the channels closer together. I have seen such loud lower end before, actually many of my own dubs have it. As if the bass is boosted too much by the amp. Dunno what's up with that.

nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk

BTW, to my ears this is a very nice sounding RVG

yes.

Here's a smoothed chart of the differences between the two. Although the very high frequencies of the RVG are lower (hiss reduction?), bass and treble of the RVG are higher, which is referred to as the "happy smiley" EQ.

The vinyl dub will likely have some noise that fills the gaps. Could you also post the frequency chart of the vinyl? Here's the TOCJ and the RVG.

did you google the phrase "A tango version of Night in Tunisia" ? I did it for you and came up with: Ted Nash & Odeon - La Espada de la Noche (Palmetto)

The good looking version is the earlier "Blue Note Works" TOCJ; the compressed version is the later TOCJ24, not the RVG. I wonder what the RVG graph looks like. if the two versions I have of Sonny Clark's Royal Flush (TOCJ BNW [mono] & domestic RVG [stereo]) are any indication, the RVG will be a "very happy" wall of sound... Must add that I find RVGs not as utterly obnoxious as the TOCJ24 of Davis Cup. Though they are fatiguing when listening on headphones, they are still pretty okay and often beat the late 80s/early 90s versions that tended to be pretty muddy. There are many more details in the RVG of Blue Train for example than in the older domestic CD version. The TOCJ BNW of that title is fantastic of course. And should also add that not all TOCJ24 discs are such aural wrecks. Mobley's Workout sounds splendid!

While I also find that strange, the TOCJ24 of Davis Cup was not done by Rudy Wang, but by a Japanese engineer.
