#11 Cheers!

#10 Cheers!

Hell, I did a quick one anyway. But now I'm off to bed. Perchance to sleep ... Cheers!

I'll do #8 another day. Gotta go and get some sleep. Man with the Golden Arm. Hm. Gives me an idea. Cheers!

OOPS. I think I skipped #8. Just a sec.

OK. Just experimenting a bit ... quick and dirty jobs. But it's fun (and I don't have to do my work). Cheers.

Yep. Yep. Yep. I have the 1.8 too and drive them with a Marantz Class A amplifier. In that combination, the whole thing gets to sound a bit too "warm", but you can reign that effect in by ways of a good cable such as the Fadel Aerolitz or the Cardas Crosslink (in themselves, VERY different cables). So, the amp makes the sound, the speakers (at least somewhat, in this lower price region) are only supposed to reproduce the sound as neutrally as possible. Cheers!

I smoke too much. And, cheers!

I made a cover quick for volume 6. I saved with 80% compression and some of the red bleeds a bit, but if anyone wants it (try printing THAT with your color inkjet printer!), I can send it at full quality. Cheers! P.S.: I shouldn't be having that much fun, but I am. So more might be forthcoming. I'll use my next cigarette break for another one.

[Maybe I should learn how to read] Ich auch. Das klappt! Muss klappen! Wird klappen! Muss. Wird.

Check out photocase.de. You are allowed to download 3 images a day (high-quality ... some really good stuff - I took the ones for the two covers from there). But, the whole thing is "Sprechen Sie, Krauten Sie, y'all." IMHO, the best license-free image site on the web. Cheers! P.S.: Don't tell on me, but I have ten accounts there (for emergency reasons), but they will catch you if you don't mask your IP!

Could I have the "Cool Tea Leaves" award instead, please? The only vice I don't have is coffee. BTW Yesterday I saw on eBay.com that someone is selling a bunch of Blue Note cover reproductions. High quality prints in various sizes. Has anyone ever heard of this project which was apparently shelved soon after it was started? Here is a link. Check out the many other reproductions via the "View seller's other items" link. [link still active for 5 days as from now] Cheers!

I stand corrected and have changed the volume number to 40 (and I moved the whole shebang over to this thread from another one ... which is now, err, gone ... in case you are wondering what all of this is about). I've got the covers (and I will be adding more until I get to select the tracks for one future volume). Now, let's see if I fulfill the requirements ... I'll hop over to the sign-up thread.

I'm moving what I posted here to the other thread. Then I will delete this one. There's a second cover version included, so do check it out in ten minutes or so.

[Note: I've moved the contents to the "covers" thread.] Can someone delete this one? I'm too stupid ... or not allowed to do it myself.

Hi Larry, I just ordered it! Thanks for the recommendation. It sounds just like what I am looking for. Cheers!

Thanks catesta. Yep, I do have it. Great sound actually. And Young at his best. Does anyone have the Japanese Press & Teddy + 3 release? Where's the difference? Cheers!

Thanks Chuck! I am already on their site. Hadn't been there for a while. I just stumbled across the 2-CD Storyville release of the 1940 Complete Fargo Dance date by Ellington. Has anyone checked that one out yet? Cheers!

Now, I'm aware of the Mosaic box which I intend to buy, but can anyone here recommend good (if possible remastered or just good-sounding) small group recordings (CD only) by Teddy Wilson? I intend to get a whole bunch. Any info (also regarding sources where I can order these from online) is appreciated because there seems to be a whole lot of crappy stuff out there ... Cheers!

BTW ... box is new.

I might have one of these for sale within a week. I'm not quite sure yet, but I'm just wondering if anyone would be interested. Box would have to be sent from Germany at around 40 Euro or thereabouts. I haven't set a price ... I leave that to those who are interested. Cheers!

Jewel cases. There's a topic in there somewhere ....

Hi everyone, I've been doing quite a bit of looking around because years ago I heard that Brian May's Starfleet Project was released as a sereis of bonus tracks on some CD, but I don't seem to be able to find it. I'm especially looking for the last tune, a long blues session entitled "Blues Breaker", dedicated to Eric Clapton. Here the details for the session: Starfleet Project Recorded April 1983 at Record Plant LA Studios Released October 31, 1983 Brian May : Vocals and Guitar Edward Van Halen : Guitar Alan Gratzer : Drums Phil Chen : Bass Fred Mandel : Keyboards Roger Taylor : Backing Vocals on Starfleet Songs: Starfleet Let Me Out Blues Breaker "Blues Breaker": Brian May, Edward Van Halen, Alan Gratzer, Phil Chen and Fred Mandel (Dedicated To E.C.) Any help appreciated. Cheers!

Good question. Let's see: 1) Tequila Sunrise(s) 2) Lucky Strike(s) 3) 2 drumming sessions per day, if time allows 4) lots of young blood around me Keeps everything well-insulated and oiled. Cheers!
