Would definitely be a nice idea - probably just the studio dates: - Meditations - Ascension - Om - Kulu Se Mama (title track and "Selflessness" only - rest is on "Major Works", right?) - Interstellar Space (how do I get to play the hidden track that's on the disc? my disc has I think one alternate listed on the cover, it's the old jewel case GRP version) - the sessions from "Expression" and the posthumous/fairly recent disc, "Stellar Regions" I still have that "Major Works" 2CD set but not the individual albums/CDs. "Om" is not on CD, and the other individual discs (Kulu Se Mama & Ascension) do not contain anything that one doesn't have either on the "Major Works" or on the "Classic Quartet" sets, is that correct? Btw, I still miss the Vanguard Again and Tunji discs... shame on me, but somehow, that's the only Coltrane I don't have yet, and I'm in no rush (there's a Hank Mobley album I don't have yet, too... tough to settle with the thought that there's nothing new to come!)

Got the "Fearless Leader" Coltrane box for my birthday and played disc one last night. A very nice session, I always liked the "Coltrane" album a lot, that chap Johnny Splawn on trumpet is very nice! Except for the awkward positioning of the CDs in the box, it's a very good set, beautiful booklet, good liners (including original liners and covers as well).

some of the latest acquisitions: Cesaria Evoria - Miss Perfumado Allen Lowe's new disc (fast delivery!) Dave Schildkraut - Last Date Giorgio Gaslini - Integrale Vol. 3 & 4

Moholo is active - been discussed elsewhere (the funny rat, I think). I missed I think two opportunities to see him here in the last 6 or so months.

well, you know - I'm on a strict "buy before things go OOP"-policy... all the selects I have I got used from members of this site, and the Hill (the first one) is actually the only one I planned to buy before it would go OOP some day...
