Just making a bit of fun - didn't know you knew Scott, though!

Variety obviously has no idea who exactly Duke Ellington was Will they shoot this in Iraq? It will be a blatant celebration of all the good things Saddam did as US proconsul on Iraqian soil! Can't wait to see it! Seems the fellas don't even know themselves "when and if" Ellington knew about them spies! Great, should be a terrific film! And who got shot in Iraq? Rumsfeld wasn't there so, obviously not him...

What's that, your good friend Tony Scott, or Benito's ahem... or wait, you mean your good friend Benito?

I see this area is restricted... I am not exactly a car, but my conception dates back to 1978, so maybe I am allowed to be here? This was our first family car: You can create one for yourself here: This here was our not so good for family purposes car: Much more fun than those huge oil-addicted US ships, no?

Ayler is so old-fashioned and mainstream... only the public never caught up with that. And I think he was Norah's uncle, no?

But then why are there still LPRs (or at least the batch including this disc was still an LPR) in the US? Sucks! First EMI/Blue Note goes the copycrap route (my first wish for new Conns or RVGs would be regular Compact Discs, no matter what's on them...), then Universal goes shit (cover print quality/pixels is not first rate on these, either, to put it mildly), and then what? Maybe we'd be better off (at least in respect of getting nice jazz reissues) if the US annected Europe in one go, maybe after they'll be done with Iran, North Corea and Cuba.

*finally* got a shipping confirmation from French Amazon two or three days ago. I hope to get it before the weekend! I'm sure it sucks. So Miles went to Pangaea and stayed there? Quite a trip, I must say!

Oh, I see... I'm at work and got confused by reading this discussion. Glad to see I have it all, then (except for bonus cuts on the Freshsound reissue - I searched, but couldn't find the thread I thought existed about that reissue).

"Angel Eyes" is the same that is on the Bud Shank/Bill Perkins West Coast Conn, yes? Why would this appear on a Pepper set in the first place? So with that Shank/Perkins and the 3 Blue Notes I miss the rest of session D: 11. What Is This Thing Called Love (D) 5:29 (Cole Porter) 12. A Foggy Day (D) 3:53 (G. Gershwin-I. Gershwin) 13. Diane-A-Flow (D) 4:02 (Art Pepper) 14. Zenobia (D) 5:14 (Art Pepper) D) Art Pepper, alto sax; Bill Perkins, tenor sax; Jimmy Rowles, piano; Ben Tucker, bass; Mel Lewis, drums. Recorded at the Radio Annex Studio in Los Angeles on December 11, 1956 All others originally issued on JUST FRIENDS - BILL PERKINS Pacific Jazz PJM 401 And I assume there's no possibility to find "Just Friends" these days... Didn't the Omega/Freshsound release contain a couple of tracks not included on the Blue Notes or the Select?

I wish you all the best, Colin! And many happy returns!

I mf played TDAROMFTPAPBTIOLSDEAATTTMOTMDS - not kiddin', yo, mf bro'!

up - I wondered about this, too... worth upgrading or not?

Universal, I think - at least a guy at a local record store told me so.

I checked all my three boxes last night. Dexter CD1 is ok, so seem to be all the others. With the Evans boxes, everything is ok, as well, *but* the first one has consistenly wrong total timings given (usually around 2 minutes too many). Anyone knows how that came to be?

up for Adrian! seems you were partying so hard you missed the thread!

No, not part of the LPR series. Part of what appears to be a new series--Verve (or Decca in the case of the Raney) "Originals". Jewel cases with a 4-page insert that depicts the original cover's front and back, and otherwise contains only personnel and track information (including original master numbers) and the original liner notes. ... Sounds like the latest of the LPRs looked over here (Lateef, Ayler...) But these are definitely not part of the LPR series--not so indicated on their respecitve pages on the Verve web site, and not included on the LPR page of that site. Perhaps Verve has replaced that series with this one? I'm sure the packaging on these is much cheaper than the digipacks--and previously mini-LPs--of the LPR series, which require "custom" printing of each package as opposed to generic jewel cases and cheap inserts. Well as far as I know, in Europe, the LPR series *has* already been replaced by these "Verve originals". Same, I think, for the Verve master edition, which have slightly changed (to the worse, too, in my opinion) and are now called differently, too (Verve Masterpieces or what was it again? Still digipack, but much less elegant ones than the VMEs). Seems Europe had mini LPs slightly longer than the US, and now maybe once again, the change took part over here half a year earlier... For handling reasons, I preferred the Digipacks over the mini lps, but I'd rather have mini lps again, instead of the usual plastic crap.

Found this one used recently: It has quite some period charm - I like it quite a lot, in fact. Volker Kriegel is on guitar. It's culled from several MPS albums, btw - personnaly, I think, this is about as much as I need of this stuff.

Sounds like the latest of the LPRs looked over here (Lateef, Ayler...) Only that remastering semed to be different (worse) over here, too (see discussion of "Psychicemotus" elsewhere). Why can't they stick with the nice digipack design? Whoever invented those ugly jewel cases... head off (says this humble king )!

The rights to the music in films continues to be a problem. I know that an enrire scene from "Billion Dollar Brain" (semi-classic 60s cold war thriller, also featuring Michael Cane) was cut from the recent DVD release because it prominently featured a Beatles tune, and it couldn't be re-scored as someone is seen playing a Beatles LP and even showing the record cover. This is so stupid. Why not just consider it product placement and make the Beatles' estate pay for that?

I hate these things... I better hurry home after work tonight and do a closer check on my Dexter and Evans boxes! Didn't see anything on a first quick scan, but I haven't had any disc in the player yet!

I've got the beeb webcast (in crappy quality, alas) on a CDR and can vouch* for it being very good! *) edit: not that this would convince anyone...

happy huppy! hope you'll have a good one (even though I still didn't send you those Randy Weston CDs...) have one on me!

you can also play this humle king's db radio show here: ubu roi's hommage à derek bailey this will be online forever and a day. there's plenty of music, but you won't understand the talking parts, I suppose...
