Thanks guys! Yes, some are for sale -- just PM me. And I take paypal! My Blog page - Here is my artist statement, among other rantings.

I just discovered flickr.com, and am trying to work with it to publicly show my art work. I live in DC, and really, most of the art venues strive to be like the New York art galleries -- just without the NYC caliber. As a result, it's hard for me to find places to show. So, here goes: Stefan's art Check it out! I still have to figure out orginizational stuff, and a way if I can to put my artists' statement up. I was previously working on Adobe Go Live to build my website, but this is much easier and quicker to show.

I had cancelled my cduniverse order after the "backorder" became too long for my liking. Did J&R Music World, for a couple of buck less, and while there was a backorder, I finally got word that the 8 cds I orderes are shipping! So they replenished -- I was worried that this was really limited.

I believe this was mentioned elsewhere, but on the Fantasy site they mention in June there will be a new batch of OJC reissues and K2 reissues. I can't find the page in the Fantasy site -- looks like Sonny Rollins will have a powerful new live album coming this September.

I picked it up when it came out. It didn't grab me the same way as that amazing 3 cd set of Nigerian funk music that Strut release a couple of years ago. Maybe it is because I was expecting something Fela like, or even something similar to the Ethiopiques series. I'll have to give it a closer listen......

The Kamucas are definitely worth reissuing. However, based on sjarrell's post it looks like we'll be inundated with "Music to Make Your Stomach Churn" compilations ad infinitum.

Received it in the mail yesterday. They sent both the 2002 printed catalog, as well as a 2005 cd-rom catalog. It's also the first thing from Fantasy that has the 2005 Concord Records copyright. Looks like they still have everything, no deletions.

Art Blakey - Indestructible Dennis Brown - 2 cd Trojan set Al Green - Anthology The Jam - Hits Fela - Confusion/Gentleman Stravinsky - Rites of Spring (many, many different versions) Scheherazade (same thing) All of these I have constantly played over the years.

Collectors avoid the digital mastered vinyl like the Black Death.

This is going to be the future, folks. Kiss those cds goodbye........

The National Gallery already HAS a copy. I sold my set to them, telling them that it was some lost Duchamp piece. Never mind that Duchamp was long dead before this set came out.....

I don't understand the complaints about the rust. I thought it was DESIGNED to rust. A bad packaging and marketing move, but nevertheless, that was the intention, no? Personally, I like it -- as well as a kick in the pants to all those tight ass collectors in the world.

Yikes. Charly is issuing this? They have a very dubious track record in terms of sound quality (and also legality of reissues).

Kevin, I think the use of SACDs seem to be only in the classical genre now. Though I hope Concord/Fantasy/whatever will still do some as well.

THE JAZZ CRUSADERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Pharoah Sanders and Michael White discs are very nice. But there are other more interesting things they should be reissuing, like Yusef Lateef.

There exists a subculture of Sonny Clark fanatics who have loads of cash to spend on ebay. The bids for this lp is high, but about average for the pressing. I still remember when I sold a Japanese reissue of a Sonny Clark/Buddy Defranco lp that went for $100. Crazy......

Stereo made headway in the mid 50's with recordings from RCA and Mercury, though they were initially sold well on reel to reel tape, then vinyl. 1958 is the key year for many initial stereo releases on vinyl.

How can someone with 500+ negative comments even SELL on ebay????

Put down a big preorder on these suckers. I haven't heard good things about the Alan Shorter disc, but I still got to hear for myself.......
