One possible source might be a Fresh Sound reissue (Ubatuqui label, to be exact - don't know if it makes a difference), funnily. That one's a 2CD set titled "Bossa Nova Years" and attributed to Bud Shank only. Not sure if a link is okay or not so go look yourself please. Other than that, I think by now I fully agree with what you say, Steve! Though it still pisses me off to see all the PD discs of albums readily available from the source such as "Mingus Ah Um" or "Time Out" in local stores. What pisses me off there though isn't the existance of these PD reissues but rather the lack of awareness from the people doing the buying for those stores. One of the points why I tend to say "good riddance" and not shed too many tears when another one shuts down.

Jesus! (I saw that Rite of Spring box today, btw ...)

I just got these in the mail and popped them in the player... SPECTACULAR! I'm in heaven!

You know inside the forum there's a forum with a forum in it etc. etc. .... the question is: which level are you on and do you still have control?

No big issues in Opera ... but the hyper hyper text field is a bit annoying, I'd prefer an old-school one with code visible instead of images and fancy stuff being right there as soon as you add a link. But I was just told "You are not allowed to do that" a few minutes back, whatever "that" was - even though I think I should've been logged in still, I had to login (or so it said) to post, but the result was that funny page telling me just that that was not allowed

I have the old RCA set ... the later one was too expensive when I wanted to get that music. But I'll go on buying the Frémeaux series anyway, sooner or later. Since I perused the popmarket site again yesterday, I really would like to know Mark Wilder's stance on having his name there in the blatantly lying blurb!

Sounds interesting, thanks for the link! There's also a larger edition of her Händel: I was offered some of her Bach, guess I'll take up that offer!

What about this one by Isolde Ahlgrimm?

Interesting one! Has the companion blues album from the same session ever made it to CD? Would love to hear that one, too!

okay, thanks!

Thanks a lot for sharing that story, Chuck! Now I have "Hey Pete, Let's Eat More Meat" in my head and can't get rid of it

Just go my CD - and it's in the player right now. Very, very good music! Thanks for the heads up again, Jim! Looks like a very nice presentation, though I'm too tired to read the notes ... but couldn't they have given the full credits from the back cover again in legible size?

She posted your photo on twitter and said nice things about you. In addition to being a fantastic musician, she's rather entertaining on twitter. I like her, without actually having met her. twitter or tumblr? I saw the later and was of course flattered by her comments ... I tend to forget to open her tumblr regularly, but I love it as well! (I don't do twitter at all.)

Matana Roberts and me, last night (source, including some kind words) ... and the chocolate santa I brought (to apologize for asking about an interview via her tumblr and being promptly but politely scolded there ... her agent did never reply though, which alienated her). Anyway ... first went to say hi after her Coin Coin Chapter Two gig in Zurich in March (the result was the photo here) ... just wanted to ask her about taking that pic since she has plenty of fans in the forum where get happy!? had it's origin. But she took lots of time, we had a most pleasant chat for a quarter of an hour and she was genuinely interested in the magazine, too. In May then, I went to see her in a very small place in a remote area, a solo concert as last night, and after the second band on the bill had finished, while the guys were cleaning up, we (a friend and me) had a lengthy and most pleasant chat with her. Then again last night, not much time, but she was very kind ... anyway, it's all about music, I adore what she's doing with her Coin Coin music and I'm happy to be able to witness it!

a father christmas style thingie in chocolate (santa claus, celebrated on december 6 here) -- a little apology ... and since she was in Switzerland, what else

Rampe and Pollerus are on their way, will post some impressions once I've heard the discs!

Do you mean the French VSOP series from the early 60s? As you are in Switzerland you might well mean those. Very Special Old Phonography No, I found the Columbia LPs (no idea what editions/pressings, I guess there were many? certainly no six-eye ones but later pressings) used in very good condition and for a pretty attractive price. These:

Thanks again, Mike! I think I'm slowly gaining an understanding ... and Meyerson would then be another good choice, I'm sure. But I'll go with the two you recommend most early in this thread first, that decision has been made!

Went to catch another great solo concert by Matana Roberts - will post a (german) review tomorrow, on my blog. That weirdo on the left is me

Okay, so we're getting there ... the klassika.info site on Händel lists HWV 442 as "Prélude et Chaconne avec LXII Variations".

Many thanks, Mike (and Hans - those amazon tracklists keep confusing me, too stupid to count!) So I guess I'll rather go for Rampe and Pollerus, maybe add the Baumont ... and then see if I still want any of the more expensive Yates discs. Re: Baumont - Mike, you call the above one a box set ... it's two discs only, best tracklist I found is here: http://www.amazon.de...ks_all_1#disc_1 That's not complete as far as Händel's suites go, I think (?) ... but I assume it's all that Baumont has recorded? If I look at this listing here: http://www.klassika....tung.html#Suite I see there are eight from 1720 but nine from 1733 - so the three Yates discs still miss one Suite? But then the count most often seen is twice eight ... I'm still confused!

into disc three now ... more great Webster! very nice box indeed!

disc one - very nice! too bad though the book won't fit into the oversize (but too small for the book - looks like a production gaffe to me) box and too bad that hardly anything in the book is in english! Dolphy! add Wess and Lateef as two of the finest of the earlier days - Wess' tone and control is hard to beat, I think!

Ricky: anyone remember the four-volume "Louis Armstrong Story"? Me: hellyeah! I bought the LPs just because they've got such nice covers! Crazy, huh?
