  1. Dipping gingerly into buying a few downloads of titles I'll never see on CD.  Today was 'Lookout Farm' , the great ECM album by Liebman, Beirach & Co. (they never came close to this again), and 'All That's Good', the obscure 1964 Freddie (Frederick on this release) Roach album on BN.  Not classic but certainly interesting.

    The Muse CD, with additional alternates of four of the six tunes, almost like getting two versions of the same album!

    Plus, it seems that this one sounds clearer than the 32 Jazz version. Might be my imagination. Or not. 

    I replaced several Muse CD's with 32Jazz CD's when they came out in the 90's or whenever, and have regretted it ever since, in some cases re-buying the Muse CD's.

    While I typically do not listen to today's "rock" music, I am spinning The Beach Boys' Sail on Sailor box set, focused on the Holland/Carl and the Passions era.  One of my favorite periods, in part because the Bruce wasn't there.

    Bruce Johnston?  How does his absence improve things?  Truly curious.  The period you mention was the last time I found the Beach Boys interesting as a current rather than retro group, though I'll take Sunflower and Surf's Up over those two.  But "Sail On Sailor" is a magnificent song/recording.

    Maybe it’s me but I’m not a fan of colored vinyl. 

    I'm not either, going back to the days of Dave Mason's great 'Alone Together' album with the goofy marbleized vinyl and creepy cut-out cover (but wonderful music).

    Ruth Price's presence will likely not be a bad thing! Her Contemporary LP with Manne and His Men is quite good, and her album with Johnny Smith is excellent.

    Thanks Lon and @JSngry , I stand corrected and educated on the Manne and will look for it.  She is a strong vocalist!

  5. Count me in for the CD releases of both the Cannonball sets, especially the 1972.  I'm a soft "no" (maybe could be persuaded at some price point) on the McDuff (repertoire is uninspiring, as is the lack of ID for some of the musicians) and the Mann (Ruth Price vocals on the 1966 date, not familiar with her).

    Ten Years Hence is really good

    Yes it is, but should have been so much better.  Why on earth did Joel Dorn sabotage those last two tracks (on a live quartet date) with studio strings, horns, background vocals?!?.  Wish they would reissue that album with Dorn's adulterations removed.  As far as this new set, count me all in for the CD release!

    The site itself, the software, has gone downhill a lot over the years.  It's buggy now and the popups and popup videos are really excessive.  If you try to block their popups with popup blockers and script blockers they get all huffy and send you to a dead end.

     

    I pay the $12/year for the ad/popup free version.  I use the site a lot (as well as using Discogs a lot), so it's worth the 3 cents a day to me.
