Hint, hint, hint... So whatever became of the "Discovery" series?? Anybody know what Andrew Hill and/or Wes Montgomery recordings were being prepared for release, and is any of that still in the pipeline? FWIW, Freddie's "Without a Song" came out in June '09.

Tyrone Washington -- "Roots" (Perception, 1973) Never been on CD -- a real damn shame, only overshadowed by the fact that '16-Aug-1968' has never been on anything.

Raymond Luxury Yacht?

I read somewhere that you can beat the NY Times print-edition "paywall" too... ..by quickly grabbing a copy at most newsstands, and then (without paying for it), running briskly around the corner and down the block with it.

Heard a live performance of the Ravel piano concerto today (KC Symphony), and had forgotten how good it was -- and thought I'd bring this thread back up.

What to say. From the AP... More obstacles impede crews in Japan nuke crisis I heard that "10 million times normal" figure on the BBC last night as I went to sleep, and thought how dire things had probable become. Without independent verification, how is anyone to know which results are correct?

The Applause CD's I've heard (many years ago) all sounded fairly bad. As best I recall, they were muffled, like 4th generation cassette dubs. Never heard any Applause vinyl.

That sounds like a cruel joke someone someone from Netflix is playing on your friend. Or that your friend is playing on them!

Probably right on both counts, but getting the chance to hear that much Michael Ray is the draw for me.

And surprisingly well too, I might add. It was the "New Steps" double LP (on one CD). Good sound (at least I thought so), and really quite decent packaging (with good liners even). I've bought legit reissues that had a lot less effort put into them. I'd happily buy a similar reissue of "Other Voices, Other Blues" (even non-legit, though clearly I'd prefer legit). I was tickled when I saw the "New Steps" disc, and had my hopes up that all the Sun Ra Horo's were finally out on CD. Fun stuff! - hearing Mr. Blount, John Gilmore, and especially Michael Ray(!) in a quartet setting.

Japan Earthquake: Two Weeks Later Photo essay from The Atlantic, well worth a look.

The first one especially (I have it only vinyl, and love it! - never on CD, legit or otherwise) -- but both really (since the only CD issue of the second one is not legit)... Sun Ra Quartet: "Other Voices, Other Blues" (Horo) and "New Steps" (Horo) There's a third Sun Ra 'horo' that's a little less priority (to me), "Unity", but the other two are rare quartet sessions.

Any of these, but (at least for me) especially "Of Human Feelings" (which was out only very briefly on CD in Japan 20+ years ago)... Ornette at 12 (1969) & Crisis (1972) [both on Impulse] Of Human Feelings (1982), Opening the Caravan of Dreams (1985), & Prime Design\Time Design (1986)

Mad TV Bob Newhart Skit - Mo Collins - Stop it

Maybe I shouldn't have quoted your post, but I most certainly LOLed at your laziness.

It's in a slideshow format, so I don't think anyone actually has had the patience to look at the entire list. (I know I gave up after Arkansas.)

Some lost-quintet footage I'd never seen before... Miles Davis Ronnie Scott's November 2nd 1969 Footage of the band begins about 1-minute into the clip. Multi-camera, interesting stuff.

Another way to browse the same list, with some biographical data on-screen as well... HERE It's also possible a few of the incorrect hyper-links (in the previous URL) might be correctly linked in this one (perhaps).

Well, perhaps I should have said "not as exciting", instead of "not as good".

The digipac has the bonus material, and frankly -- the 2nd album (Daddy Bug) on the Collectibles edition is not very good. (I had the Collectibles edition, and was quite glad when I upgraded to the digipac.)

Another funny bit from the Wiki...

No thread on Newhart is complete without this clip... "Newhart" - Series Finale

He's done a little straight acting as well, on ER for instance (Wikipedia says it was a 3-episode story-arc, for which Newhart won an Emmy!). Kinda cool to see him in a different context. Funny thing I just read from the Wiki on Bob...

Newhart has always been a favorite. Shame, since I was born in '69, that I missed most of his first series. I remember it vaguely, and have seem maybe a dozen episodes in syndication (or more likely TBS) over the years, but what little I've seen, I remember very fondly. Our house usually watched his 2nd series, and I remember it better. Such a great guy, and his timing was impeccable. I have a couple disc compilation of his comedy records, and those one-sided phone conversations are priceless.

I would wildly guess that you probably need to up the minimum amount you would agree to sell the item(s) for, to include enough "overhead" to both cover the difference between the standard shipping costs eBay expects that you'll pay, and your actual shipping costs. AND, don't forget to factor in that eBay will get a cut of that difference too, so up it again by enough to cover eBay's cut.
