I'm with Kyo on this. In any event, I prefer the original LPs to be reissued in the original LP running order. Even if, as sometimes happened, and more frequently with Prestige, they mucked things up. But I have a much more "audience-centered" approach to music than many people and, consequently, prefer the way the artist (to the extent that they're involved) and record company chose to present the recordings to the public.

Gawd blesher Guv! Now, about these two Jack Wilson Vaults that have been reissued on CD - is one of them "Jazz organs"? Could you let me know the details, if it is, 'cos this is a good bit higher up my list than "Brazilian Mancini", even though I've got the LP. MG

Real, total, cool MG

I guess it is no consolation that the booklet for the Ike Quebec DOESN'T have part of the Kenny Dorham notes included. MG

Jimmy Witherspoon Wynonie "Mr Blues" Harris Percy Mayfield

That's what I was thinking as well, but the version I know is the one from The Latin Side of..., and it ain't this one. Dan's messing with us again! If it's not Hank, then it's got to be one of the two I mentioned. (I think) (I think I think Therefore I think I exist) MG I was trying to protect Dan's secret when I posted, but for those who are ready to have a look... Track 18 source ssshhh... Well, I wanted it to be that one - but I thought Dan was trying to fool us. Be nice if someone were to issue that on CD. MG

Here are a few more good 'uns from Collectables Junior Mance and DOrothy Ashby ayone? Ronnie Ross & Allan Ganley v Joe Castro with Teddy Edwards, Higgins, Vinnegar and Dizzy coupled with Fathead's "The weapon" MY GOODNESS! MG

And more thanks Jim. Will think about this. Oh, what's the girl singer from Ealing like? MG

The postman brought me a couple of goodies yesterday This completes my Grant Green collection. Actually, while I like the instrumentals fine, most of the vocals feature precisely the kind of singing that I can’t abide. Extreme groovathon. Excellent stuff. Some very interesting songs. MG

Not even if I start smoking? Maybe. Can you blow it out your ears? I've been told to blow it out my ass before. Does that count? Only if it leaves nicotine stains on your pants. MG Those icons of cool. They're a breed apart. I've forgotten what this bit's all about, now... MG

Isn't there something missing from that cover? Don't think so - Hank's got his book of matches in his left hand. MG
