NOS is fine -- I have Mullards on my power amp, but I am seriously looking at the new Ei tubes, which are made using the same equipment and specs as the old Phillips tubes, which I have used and are also very good. Ei has been getting positive reviews for their sound quality and pricing. I refuse to believe that NOS is the only way to go, especially with more people getting into tube equipment.

I ordered the Andrew Hills, Bill Dixon/Tony Oxley, Dave Douglas, Ed Blackwell and the Rivers/Holland vol 2 before my wallet imploded...........

Get em while they're available. www.cybermusicsurplus.com I threw in my chump change at their store -- I hope I get all that I asked for......

up for new stuff added New, as of 8/6/03: I have a two 2 cd set of Dutch Nederbeat music, the B sides singles, released last year on Hunter Music, from the 60's. Each set has 50 tracks, and contains psychedelic music, beat, garage punk, etc., by groups like the Q65, the Outsiders, Les Baroques, and others. I'm selling the whole sha-bang for 35 dollars. Please PM me if interested.

That Jimmy Scott lp has been reissued on cd by Rhino, in their Handmade limited edtion cd department. I bought it for my dad on his birthday and it is gorgeous!

Picked this one up today. This is one of those groups that swept everyone aside and established a new order of music. Living in DC for most of my life, these guys were and still are the gods of the local music scene, despite the craziness of HR and the loss of their band name, however they managed that? Anyways, this is a real kick ass compilation. It has all their best known tunes, remastered (??? from vinyl, I guess Caroline no longer has master tapes?) and all. It's cloudy, humid and gloomy here at work today, and this has definitely lifted my spirits. 22 tracks, pulled from all the Caroline issued albums, including the Rock for Light lp, and their very first, with the lighning bolt striking the Capitol building. The reggae material (w/ i and I Survive, The Phrophet's Squad, I Lov I Jah, etc) are at the end of the disc. Almost 80 minutes, which might fry some people's minds. And a video!

The Bill Evans has been sold.

New York Dolls - Collection (Universal) Jackie McLean - Hipnosis session (Blue Note) Annie Lennox - Bare Jimmy Smith - Complete February 1957 Sessions, disc 1 (Mosaic) Fu Manchu - California Crossing (Mammoth) Miles Davis - Walkin' (Fantasy remaster) Eclectic!

People should jump on the Jack Sheldon. That is one nice cd from the now really hard to find West Coast Jazz series....... I wish they had sold better, but the Mosaic Selects have filled some gaps.

It seems like the same album repeated three times, different takes and all. All I can say is..... huh? But really, what is up with a deluxe version of the Diana Ross album? Is this the one where she does a heavy metal tune?

How did they sneak a Blind Willie Johnson recording onto the Voyager list? I guess there is no heavy duty R&B or rock n roll cause that might be grounds for invasion.

The phone, of course. We live in the same city.

Wassermarrer, the flute too fruity for you????

It has that nice lightly rusted look....

New, updated list coming shortly. In the meantime, I have a bunch of stuff on ebay for your perusal. Some Sun Ra Impulses, etc. Thanks

Why not a Mosaic Select with him and some other artist?

Thanks! With that and some Stones Throw reissues, Dusty's snagged a chunk out of my paycheck!!

Does anyone have a copy (ie - cdr)? Please PM.

I placed some more lps on ebay. Some Blue Notes, including a hard to find (at least around DC) Freddie Roach lp, Mo Greens Please. Some Sun Ra Impulses, a 2 vol set on BYG, and other things. More to come....

CDepot also had 2 copies of Baby Face Willette's "Face to Face" ............... sealed.

Music to listen to while packing: Miles Davis - Jack Johnson set, cd 1 (Sony) William Parker String Trio (Thirsty Ear) Cobra - Music done by other artists on Tzadik Aimee Mann's latest George Crumb, vol 5 (Bridge) Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul (Mobile Fidelity)

Jeremy Pelt. Man, are those live sessions cookin'! Eddie Palmieri. Yeah, were in the middle of summer, and the salsa has to be kickin' on my stereo! His latest on Concord is up to his usual high standards.

You are going to have to scour the lp bins for most of them, I'm afraid. The Leo Parker is next to impossible to find.

Up, stuff on ebay too.

I have the Turrentine set and it sounds fine to me, thru my tube stereo.
