Okay, so let's play hump the hostess now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InUSSfZBgJk

Only have six of them so far... definitely want them all!

Thanks! Would anyone have a complete list?

Any particular favorites and recommendations there? I've laid eyes on the Honegger and the Satie but haven't jumped for them (nor for any others from the series).

Found "The Closing of Winterland" cheaply in the bins yesterday (still sealed, but with broken teeth on the inner part of the jumbo jewel case, it turned out - alas never found any good replaments for those, just very cheap ones). This will be the very latest Dead I'm going to hear - guess it's a fine entry point, post "Wake of the Flood" and "Blues for Allah"?

Word on that! I've worked in a mega-corporate world for more than a decade now, and the only thing that equals the hilarity of thinking that using "proper" English will get you into a world where language isn't skull-fucked on a level equal to what the Communists did to it is the inner-circle(jerk) whine about needless government regulations and inefficient bureaucracies, when they themselves, when left to their own devices, they'll come up with more levels of waste, fraud, inefficiencies, redundancies, and just flat-out bizarre clusterfucks than even the most odious government agency. This thread is funny! Cheers on that, mate! I can absolutely relate to and vouch for the veracity of that statement!

Joyeux anniversaire!

Pleeze excuse me while I webster the Oxford dicshionnary.

No blackout in this case. Holland didn't fully plug in until the following year. Chick only plays wood flute during "This." Certainly you must have been aware I jest (ad -ed at own danger).

Yeah, many thanks for your comments, Jim! Will definitely want that set!

Dang, and I just bought the regular CD issue - it's one of the albums that was in constant rotation in my childhood, and it was great to hear it again. Three of the bonus tracks are on the CD, so I guess the most interesting thing would be the amazon exclusive, but this whole thing ist just too darn expensive. They really ought to be able to add some more music if they want us to pay that much!

How many percent in Shakespeare? And how many percent of native speakers understand how many percent of Shakespeare? * * * (just found here thanks to Niko - thought it fits nicely here )

Happy Birthday, Ray!

Glossiness has nothing to do with quality. Mosaic booklets are now printed on much cheaper stock than those of old. If they were still using high quality paper, I would seriously have to question Cuscuna's business sense in this day and age. And the fact that some booklets have thicker, heavier paper? Nothing to do with quality? (I'm not sure which ones have that, ... but the European Quincy is one, I think.)

(They seem to have had a blackout in Italy, too - hence Holland partly on double bass and Chick on wood flute... no money for a piano in Italy you know, they had to sell it in order to pay the mob ) (Here's the Rome link: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=691027) But this one from Paris is interesting: Rooster, here's Stockholm: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=691105 They do the title tune "Bitches Brew", it seems. Not sure if there are any other examples.

Acting as devil's advocate: It's too expensive. It's beyond the 100$ threshold. I know Mosaic keeps telling that sets sized less than 7CDs aren't feasible... but sets in the 4-5CD range are cheap enough to be bought on impulse, whilst a 7CD box is just too much for that. There's various sides to every apect, I'm sure. I'll definitely want the Hawkins box, but there's plenty of other sets from the past three or four years I still don't have. WHOAH, that's one big booklet! When was the last time Mosaic included such a thick booklet? (Too bad about the error, though!)

Gee, I wish him all the best!

Absolutely! I've heard some (but not all, alas) of the complete sets and I'd LOVE to get all of it! The sets are short, they'd fit onto 3CDs easily (if one gets torn apart, which would be silly, taking into account how cheap a CD actually is... but the cover art would have to be changed... but then I do hope they change that anyway to add one more slot for the booklet!)

Sorry for having started that rumour - not sure what went on in my brain when I posted that

some amazing newly found music up here: http://electricjive.blogspot.ch/2012/05/love-for-free-hidden-south-african-jazz.html and some great photos, too!

I missed the last one (apologies) but would like to get a DL, Stefan - can't guarantee I'll post this time, though. Hope that's okay!
