One of my retirement goals (a few years out yet) is to catalogue my collection in excel, where I can list the artist however I think best, can add columns for genre and sub-genre, etc. I played a little bit with the discogs collection feature a few weeks ago, found it just didn't meet my needs. I will probably write out instructions for my heirs on how to optimally liquidate my collection when I'm gone. My daughter says she wants to keep it, but I don't really see that happening.

Amazing, has made the best music of his career over the past 15 years (and I like his earlier stuff). This cut, spoken rather than sung, but with incredible guitar work, literally brought tears to my eyes. This artist is in serious need of reconsideration based on this latter work. '

Just received my shipping notification tonight.

Monk also on hold.

Evans is on hold, Monk still available.

I have Universal boxes of the Complete Riverside Albums of Thelonious Monk (16 CD's) and the Complete Riverside/Milestone Albums of Bill Evans (15 CD's). Each played once. Looking for $60 each shipped in USA ($115 for both) or interesting trade or reasonable offer. PM if interested.

I have not. And no shipping notice yet. Amazon shows it as having just been released last Friday (a sizable delay), so it should be coming soon. They are generally a few days behind Amazon, but they are also $20 cheaper on this box, so worth the wait. I've never had them non-deliver.

Yes, congrats! How do we get the book?

I dutifully own both, don't have any particular need to actually listen to either. Much more likely to pull this 1979 landmark out to give a spin. Ah ah, beep beep!

May not be able to avoid the movie if you have grandkids.

BTW, the DSOTM/Wizard of Oz thing is pretty cool to do, especially the bell on Dorothy's bike.

Deal!

Let's plan to meet up in 2119 and see who's view was correct!

Not my point - and I had great math SAT's . If something is still of great interest 50 years after the fact, it likely can be of interest 150 years after the fact. I would think that 150 years from now, people may well still want to know about the all-time longest charting album of the first 100 years of recorded music.

We're already 50 years on. SF 60's best of breed, vocal space rock with lyrics to match.

SF 60's best of breed, Awesome looooong Guitar jam live at Fillmore West ("Who Do You Love") and extreme guitar psychedelia ("The Fool") by Quicksilver Messenger Service with the tremelo king, John Cippolina. Might have been viewed differently if DSOTM had not sold a gazillion copies. Though it is a very different record from Atom Heart Mother or Meddle. For that matter, I have to think Wish You Were Here would have been a very different record (and would have appeared a lot sooner) if that were the case. Though the rock music scape of 1973-1975 was utterly different than that of 1968-1970.

Agreed, good observation, but the "datedness" of the early material is part of the appeal to me.

I didn't know about this either, but here it is. My interest in the box will depend on the cost. $100, I'm in. $300, I'm out. https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/bob-dylan-martin-scorsese-rolling-thunder-revue-documentary-netflix-777169/

This thread has inspired me to finally watch this - I've owned it for years. Music is extremely spacy (and good). Best of breed, 60's SF space division (the song, not the album). They never again recorded anything vaguely like this, though some of the live tapes from this era floating around show this influence.

Got inspired by our Pink Floyd discussion to finally watch this. I've owned it for years, but never got around to it. Watching it now.

There were a couple of eras of Gong. They started out as an offshoot of Soft Machine, led by Daevid Allen, and then were taken over by Pierre Morlan, who steered them in a much more accomplished jazz-rock direction, without either the highs or lows of the Allen years.

We owe a great debt of gratitude to this woman and this album for many many Blue Note reissues being funded: Evelyn Champagne King's "Shame" has always been THE disco record for me, though I basically enjoyed the whole genre (knowing the scorn that statement will bring me). Also definitely not correct, but certainly necessary.

Except when Gilli Smyth was doing her thing with them.
