howzabout you rent MwgArm's customised ex-whaling vessel and ship them yourselves.

Wait 'til you get mine, four cds is going to feel like a picnic. ← I bet you will make AOL look like amateurs... It contains 4000 CDs, weighs at least 150 pounds, barely fits through doors, and plugs into an electical outlet.

the RVG lists all 8 tracks on the disk itself. You didn't end up with a TOCJ did you?

okay, that *usually* fixes it, but in this case, it don't do a thing.

something weird with the link placement in Opera8. The links at the top of the page (behind the white triangle/arrow in the orange circle) are alingned differently when hovered than when not. See attached image for an illustration; I put four pics on top of eachother, separated by red lines. This looks like your typical minor mess up somewhere in the script. I will try what things look like when I pretend Opera is MSIE or Mozilla and hide all Opera identification.

Never heard or read of this error. If only the bonus tracks were missing, there should still have been 6 tracks instead of 5. Did you check the timings of the tracks? Maybe you got a whole other album which has the Mobley info printed on it. Such mistakes are known to happen. You may count yourself lucky you at least ended up with jazz music and you got an album you like on top of that!

it took a while for this BFT to materialise on my doorstep, but it did in the end thanks to Tom & Tom. een. Big ass orchestral workings of rather recent vintage with some winks to the Russians having a big day hunting small wild animals and other deeply rooted collective emotions. In the end it's all churning out a solo piano-piece that does not quite fit the same mood. It all sounds too much incidental and partial for me to form an opinion. The segue into track two is nice though it doesn't quite fit with one note too many somewhere. twee. Smaltz for debbie. I have never been much enamoured by this piece, but hey, this is a nice rendition. I'd venture the guess that this is not by Mr Evans himself. Some crackling noise may mean this is a vinyl dub, though the overall cleanness makes me doubt some. drie. The orchestral stuff is surely verra nice, with Zappa like vamps throwing out little lines and dances. Very nice, but not enough to carry the piece, which is surely intended to be taken care of by the twumpet. The latter is too smaltzy for my tastes though. This never seems to melt really, which is a pity and which also means I find it goes on a tad too long. vier. Ttwanggg. Much more nicer. This has that cool short lived vibe also present on Cobham's Spectrum. Rouse jumping for some Scotch. vijf. Joe Henderson fer sure with Herbie, right? Hey, it's Joe, what more do you want? zes. More Herbie maybe, this time whipping some silly tones from his kitchen blender machinery. The trumpet gets on my nerves. Too busy and not much direction. But that's to be blamed on my ears fersure. zeven. Why do these tunes always have to start with bass/horn unisono lines and why does the piano always need to jump in at the exact same point and with the exact same ploink? Other than that, this moves along like a full loaded truck with a fire-up-the ass rhythm section and a tenor that likes to be driven while driving. The piano is the only one that seems to be a bit out of place, the solo is nice enough again though. With the humming this all sounds very familiar. acht. Sounds like Richard Williams on trumpet and the tenor sure rings some bells as well. This is very endearing with all the edges and little pointy things sticking out all over. Very nice. negen. Must be Cherry, but otherwise no clue. Nice. tien. race with time and emit some ad lib sounds please; Rah of course with Hancock, Haynes and Vernon Martin elf. Shaw on trumpet methinks. Lots of energy here, bang bang over done with (pity). Great tune. twaalf. pling ploing. Some of this Solalistic playing is much to my liking, but this never really takes off somehow. And then the yelling starts. What's up with that!?! dertien. More Woody yes? Love the big bass drum and the china crash keghkech. veertien. Jackie Mac with twangy geetarrs and a trumpeteer? Nah! This has a nice nice vibe, lots of energy, but less of a voice somehow. Good stuff anyhoo. vijftien. Sam Reevers methinks maybe. Never heard this. It's nice! zestien. This sounds much like Charles Tolliver, but who else is there? Izzat Tony? Piano sounds familiar too. All in all a bit wandering in spots but that's part of the game here and this is verra nice. Fenx much for the journey.

I didn't mail your set yet. still shuffling, eh? shuffly-sha-luvly -
if you know the exact date and have some hunches, you could try your luck with the national archives in The Hague. It's no google there though and you really need to know where to look. With respect to online resources they did do a nice job with their photo archives: http://beeldbank.nationaalarchief.nl/ If you type in Josephine Baker there, you will get 195 photos covering the post war years. The people at the Archives are very friendly also in questions of clearing copyright on these. While you're browsing old Newspapers, de Groene Amsterdammer has the archives of De Groene from 1877 to 1940 online here: http://www.groene.nl/zylab/ No mention of the 1933 tour, but at least some interesting looking articles. Maybe the dutch jazz archives can help you with the details on your radio show? http://www.jazzarchief.nl

Do a search here: http://kranten.kb.nl/index2.html for dutch newspaper articles of the era. At least you can paste together that part of the tour. Only the files of Het Vaderland cover 1933. Het Vaderland of dec. 22 1933 mentions that the tour that was planned to last until dec. 31, was suddenly broken off due to illness. The edition of dec. 4 1933 mentions the tour schedule (see below). Maybe you can find more info from the other articles.

It's those Casino dudes who won again. For them life seems to be one big commercial and ebay is just another forum for that.

check in with amazon.fr caiman offers all three boxes for 18euro there. But then how much would be the shipping costs from the States? Then the French customs would add import taxes as they do pretty often on shipments from the States... Shipping is according to Amazon Marketplace rules: less than 3eur per item (you can only order one item at a time). German customs only starts to moan from 22eur value for commercial traffic (this includes the postage) and 50eur for samples.
