At first glance I thought this said Sarah Brightman had died; oh well, too bad.

I, too, heard her on Letterman but thought she and the tune were dreadfull. All the buzz is 'bout how 'old school' she is but it ain't hardly old school enough for me 'cause it still seems all about style and mannerism without any substance. that and she needs to ennuciate/project a little better...

I think there's all the difference in the world between using nonstandard language creatively to express yourself, including your regional or otherwise marginalized self, and simply failling to know what you're actually saying (eg, the question is mute). Great literature can be written in regional dialect (I've got a copy of Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle at home and I swear some day I'll read it) but nothing worthwhile can be said or written without some minimal degree of self-awareness. I think some problems arise when people parrot a particularly ironical use of language with quite getting it...

As was detailed via a link to a detailed sessionography earlier in this or another thread, there is a lot of unreleased studio stuff from the On the Corner thru Get Up With It period. But the question is, will Sony put it in a box or not?

100% Liberal Quakers 93% U/U 93% M to L Prot 90% Neo-Pagan 87% Secular Hum. So I guess what I'm trying to say/live is that oatmeal is good for you, but you don't have to eat it if you really don't want to...?

Ouch!

Does the Al Green have anything extra on vinyl?

You might want to look at their websire, www.sundazed.com, to see if you can go directly through them...

A good person to do business with.

I can't find the exact quatation right now, but the first Paul Butterfield Blues Band LP had an adnomition in a little box on the cover to the effect that 'to fully appreciate the sound of the PBBB we respectfully suggest that you play this record as loud as possible'. (of course given stereo technology in 1965(?) that generally wasn't that loud) It was, nonetheless, good advice.

Don't know the specifics of their Meters reissues but Sundazed doesn't generally do dumps of digital to analog...I have their Blonde On Blonde (in MONO) on LP and it's superb so I'd guess they would be the way to go for the Meters (or the MGs for that matter). As long as I'm going slighly off-topic, I have to say that I find the Josie era Meters definitely preferable to WB era Meters.

No, thank you! (My wife called me at work to say your package ariived, unfortunately recurrent car trouble raised its ugly head yesterday and it will be Monday before I can get your package in the mail).

Couldn't say whether Nora has truly made it to only one name necessary territory yet but I thought this would be as good a place as any to mention that I enjoyed hearing her sing Magic Sam's "All Your Love" (NOT to be confused with the Otis Rush song of the same name) on some opportunistic album of live recordings of some band whe used to be in..."Love is one thing, baby, you won't find on the ground".

I have this, dig it. How does it compare with his other CDs, or them with it?

I've owned/heard most of these at one time or another and think that Say It Loud is at least as good or better than Hot Dog (which I can't listen to without thinking how much more I like Grant Green's "It's Your Thing") or "Everything I Play" which I found pretty lack luster except for the tittle cut which is grooving (albiet not as much as Lee Dorsey's original). On the whole I think the worst thing that can be honestly said about the post-Alligator Boogaloo period is that they do get kinda samey. At least in the earlier '60s Lou would alternate organ dates with piano/conga ones; my personal favorite ones being "Here Tis" & "Gravy Train". I generally prefer these "early grooves" (my own coinage, the much maligned Don Wilkersons would qualifyhere, as would some Grant, Baby Face, Fred Jackson, John Patton, etc.) to the later "rare groove" period ('67-7?). One thing to remember about anything like AMG is that the people doing the ratings are going to be more familiar with some albums than others and if album x is the last one of a similar series that they are listening to just to get the job done its rating is going to suffer as a result. (Not to mention the notorious cases where people pretend to rate things they never listened to...)

But you'll miss Lester singing "Two to Tango" won't you?

It at least used to be the case that if you could convince Fantasy that you were a bonafide critic they would sell you anything in the catalog for $5/disc.

Not to totally hijack the thread, but I passed on a used copy of a C. Lloyd Columbia with T. Williams, R. Carter and Gabor Sazbo at a record show the other day, did I goof? (It was cheap)

How about the Silver 'n... series with just Horace and the band whithout the 'n Wood, Brass, Strings, etc?

I'm at work but will check my email(s) when I get home later tonight. [i've been following the saskatchewan provincial election results on the cbc web site, another glorious victory for the NDP declared less than 90 minutes after the polls closed. Voter turnout should be 65-70%]

See my post in Offering/Looking For re the Mulligan/Baker Mosaic

I have a copy of this long OOP Mosaic box: LPs and book v. nice shape, box slightly crimped. $160 incl. shipping to US/Canada, $150 if you pick it up from me here in Portland. I'll be going to (but not having a table at) the record convention here next Sunday. Cash, Paypal or checks from people I recognize from this board. There are things I'd do partial trades for, PM me or email at danasgoodstuff at yahoo.com or aol.com...

Parkertown, Um, actually I haven't posted it here yet but will when I dig it up and figure out how to make italics work on the posting (it has song/album titles in italics). Thanks for asking.

A tenor player I knew in MN used to do a Mobley tribute band called Straight No Filter whenever he could get gigs for them around the Twin Cities. His name is Scot Fultz. I'm not sure if he still does SNF but whatever he's doing is usually worth checking out. I am slightly biased 'cause he let me read my Hank Mobley poem with the band at a gig once.

I think that's a customer review from Amazon.com
