  1. The Jack Johnson box of the raw takes of "Go Ahead John" but not the originally issued edit, to get that you need some version of Big Fun - my recomendation would be the dbl CD of Big Fun with bonus tracks plus the dbl CD of Bitches with bonus tracks, skip the Bitches box but get the boxes for IASW & Jack Johnson and all the rest. Sometimes Teo hit a homer (IASW) and sometimes he struck out (Live/Evil), IMHO. I try not to have any preconceptions 'bout how it should be done, just listen to how it works...
  2. Naima fit nicely, IMHO
  3. Honky Tonk Train was a big favorite of my late father's - he used to argue that the reason the more efficient European-style compound steam engines never caught on in america was simply that they didn't sound right, i.e. 'right' = like Honky Tonk train, etc.
  4. You may be pleased to note that the library system I work for currently has 9 holds on 3 copies, 10 as soon as I put it on hold.
  5. I'm particularly fascinated by the alternate take of "Blind Man", not just because I don't have it (box only?) and think it's superior to the master, but because of the large difference that one extra note in the bass makes....
  6. Can't believe I called this a quintet album when I posted back in the day, what was I on? esp'ly when i generally prefer sextets to quintets...
  7. thanx muchly for your encouragement...
  8. surgery was June 6th, now recovery. Most difficult thing is not overdoing it, for instance by picking up heavy grocery bag like I did last night...
  9. It's not quite true that you used to be able to get away with anything in the final, M. Richard got tossed for the remainder in the 50's... The question now is, who do the Canucks put in goal?
  10. After we moved to Sask, the Riders of course. And surprisingly, the Montreal Canadiens - who were widely hated in the praries - but got right away that this was a team that played as a team, and during the 6 team NHL era at least, had the most lopsided home/away record in sports. At that time they had also won > half the Stanley cups... But my real passion as a child, going back before the move up north, was Ferrari - both the Grand Prix and long distance teams with Chris Ammon and Niki Lauda probably my favorite drivers. Had an air mail subscription to Motor Sport to stay current - although back then Road & Track covered racing much more than they do now.
  11. "we added...flesh to the whirlpool" damn! who'd they make a deal with?
  12. Don't know if I can watch the Roughies any more now that my dad's gone, but in Saskatoon I may not be able to avoid it!
  13. There's no requirement, it's just 'of a piece' with some other stuff of yours...
  14. Little Walter often recorded and worked gigs with two guitars, drums and 'Mississippi saxophone", reputedly 'cause he was too cheap to hire another guy... sounds like your new bass player knew what to do, congrats.
  15. Don't know whether I'd like this one or not, but it certainly doesn't meet my definition of "early", he'd been recording for roughly two decades by then...
  16. "I don't really get poems!" Forgive me, but I have to say it - that explains a lot!
  17. excellent price, if i didn't already own too many sax I'd definitely consider it.
  18. Loved him in the sm faces, not so much Humble Pie, why?
  19. Thankyou, hopefully it will start showing up nearer the top of search engine lists as pwople begin to find their way there.
  20. Thanks, but that's not what I was looking for - not the label but a fan site devoted to Albert and evrything related that's moved at least once, I can find references and links but none of them work...
  21. The Ayler website - www.ayler.org? - seems to have disappeared. Anyone know wht happened?
  22. http://www.led-zeppelin.org/joomla/current-news/1419-forthcoming-yardbirds-box-set-combines-unreleased-recordings-photos forthcoming Yardbirds box of odds & sods
  23. I would say so, but then I hear a lot of Prez in Sonny Rollins too...
  24. Only thing grabbing my ears is my wife. wish I wa hearing new music that knocked me out but in light of recent events in my life it's been all comfort food (vintage Blue Note, Chess, Stax, Motown, Lester & Teddy Wilson).
