Good god almighty, right here and right now, let's all agree NEVER to do anything with the AOTW that's anywhere near this damn complicated: (I do not have the heart to link the picture directly into this thread, so you're all just gonna have to CLICK HERE.)

Yeah go ahead and pick an Anthony Braxton AOW? That reminds me --- does anybody remember which Anthony Braxton album this tune was originally on??? I checked the AMG, but haven't been able to find it yet...

Good think this AOTW thing is relatively simple now. Cuz remember when we had these procedures in place, and how everybody used to get so damn conflused all the time!!!

Same procedure as always, for if the AOTW is only available on CD from Japan???

When it first appeared, the coupon DIDN'T have this text included in it: Originally, the coupon didn't say anything about being limited to only these four books, or that the coupon was only good on one book.

I can't see it either - nothing, nada, blank with a red x in a small box.

Again, for the record, I had nothing to do with this thread being started. ( )

Damn!!

I don't actually own any of the "blue" BN series CD's. I had just heard from one person that this one particular disc that they bought (maybe a Donald Byrd title?) didn't have liner-notes, just repros of the front and back covers. Maybe it was just that one title, or maybe the whole series, or maybe he didn't have any idea what he was talkin' about. No idea.

Also, the same seller has a bunch of jazz CD's available at $3 to $7 per disc, including a few bargains... How about John Patton's "Accent on the Blues" for only $5.45, and Don Grolnick's "The Complete Blue Note Recordings" (2 CD's) for only $10.99... ...and he also has Wynton's "Blood On The Fields" (3 CD's) for only $12.25 (if you're needing some extra drink coasters for the family room ). Again, I'm not the seller, and all the usual disclaimers apply. The half.com seller's name is "coltranemustang66". (I only mention the other discs, since shipping charges go way down for any extra discs after the first one, from the same seller.)

An OOP Conn from 1994, shipped to your door for less than $9, what's not to like?? CLICK HERE (I'm not the seller, and all the usual disclaimers apply.) PS: I have an extra copy of the "The Empty Foxhole" Conn CD available for trade, if somebody misses out on this half.com deal, and still want's one.

Oh, EKE BBB, I see you're not from the U.S. - so never mind about those half.com links I gave you. (The rat-bastards won't sell to non-U.S./non-Canadian customers.) So, then, probably the cheapest way for you to pick this up is from Freshsounds (and their special "extra blue" Blue Note series). I understand that many of these titles are taken from TOCJ masters (from Japan), which means no bonus tracks - although you do get very good sound that way. (I also understand that this "extra blue" series doesn't include the text from the liner-notes, although it does have the front and back covers of the album reproduced.)

Really, your only two options are Into Somethin' (which is out-of-print, but still pretty easy to find) and Mother Ship (which comes out for the first time on CD in less than 2 weeks). There are three other Larry Young BN albums that have never been released on CD (except on the long out-of-print Mosaic box set). Also, there is a one-disc overview of Young's BN output called "The Art of Larry Young", which is also out of print, but does still turn up on eBay now and again. (Although I'd just get someone to burn the Mosaic for you, rather than mess with this one-disc compilation.) There are several copies of Into Something' available at half.com right now, and you can CLICK HERE to see them. (Currently 3 copies are available at $9.99 each, plus $2.49 in shipping charges.) There's also a copy of Into Somethin' available on eBay right now, with an opening bid of $5.99 (plus $2.50 shipping). CLICK HERE to see this item. And failing all those choices, I also have a TOCJ of Into Somethin' which I have been looking to sell or trade to someone, although it doesn't include the bonus track (6. Ritha [alternate quartet version] - 6:51), which is only on the U.S. Conn release. (The released verison of "Ritha" doesn't have Sam Rivers on it.)

I've e-mailed Mosaic about doing a McCoy set several times, and I know they've replied that it is on their list of things to do, one of these days... How many discs of material (at roughly 75 minutes per disc) are we talking about, to include the COMPLETE Tyner-lead recordings for BN??? Maybe a "Select", possibly???

The rare Miles band I really want to hear bootlegs of is the extremely short-lived version of the 2nd Great Quintet (Wayne, Herbie, Ron, & Tony), plus Joe Henderson. I think they only played 5 or 6 gigs total, if even that many. I know, I know - I'm sure I'd be slightly disappointed if I heard an actual tape -- but I'd still love to hear that band with a two tenor front-line (though Wayne might have been playing soprano some by that point). Anybody know of any tapes of THAT band???? (With Joe????)

Interestingly, the one thing (issue) I noticed in the vinyl was in the last track on side one, near the beginning of the track. It looked like a little spot, about 1/4th of a milimeter in width and height, maybe a tad smaller even. If anyone turns out to be interested in this LP, I'll definitely get them to play the last track on side one to verify if it skips or not. In fact, I was kinda thinking I'd have them do that anyway, just in case - since that's the only thing I could see in the vinyl that would otherwise give it a "Mint Minus" rating (or "EX+" perhaps).

As much of a Hill nut as I claim to be, I probably haven't listened to his two BN releases from 1989 and 1990 nearly as often as I should. BUT, I did just listen to "But Not Farewell" (BN, 1990) about two days ago (for the first time in probably almost a year), so now I've got a good excuse to dig out "Eternal Spirit" and give it a good listen too.

I think "Art Forum" is Osby's first really great album. The first one that gave a glimpse of what was yet to come. Before that, I'm afraid I kind of only considered him a "Steve Coleman" wanna-be. By the way, I didn't get "Art Forum" until about 2000 or 2001, even though it came out in 1996.

I think I like "Turbulent Flow" better than his first disc (also on BN), but both are quite good. Don't pay a mint for it, but his first disc is well worth keeping an eye out for, for anything under $10 or even $12.

Damn AB, that "One for One" cover is OUTSTANDING!!!! B) B) B)

PS: It probably goes without saying, but if you could post pictures of the LP's to this thread, that'd be great!!! Links, or uploads - whatever works.

I have to admit that I don't really have lots of Ellington recordings (and none on LP), but I do love his music, and hold him in as high a regard as many other musicians who's catalogs I own quite a bit more of (Miles, Ornette, Andrew Hill, etc...). But, I happen to have been lucky enough that my Mom got Duke's autograph when she was in college back in the 50's (long before I was ever born, in 1969). She was a part of the comittee that booked big bands to play at dances, and Ellington was one of four dance dates that the committee booked, at the University of Illinois, where she went to college back then. She had him sign the back of her ticket, and a few years ago she had it framed for me, along with a short newspaper article about Ellington and his band "coming to town" for the concert (with a good picture of him in that same clipping, probably from his press kit at the time). I've thought about trying to find two or three really interesting Ellington album covers, and framing them to hang on the wall as well, along with the autograph/newspaper-clipping. So...... What are you favorite Ellington LP covers?? I'm sure there are more that I've never seen before (in any format), than those I have seen before.

Hadn't realized they'd redone the cover to: Someday My Prince Will Come

For the record, this is one monster I didn't start.
