Blue Train, I have you on ignore, but I can still see it if someone quotes you. When you get too excited and climb your high horse frothing at the mouth, it seems like your 'true liberal' identity is a bit of a fetish as well. It is astounding to me that you think it is OK to go around posting KKK imagery accusing people you hardly know of racism, while you can't take a joke ridiculing your own 'true liberal' fetish. It would have been better for the board if I hadn't posted the reply I did, but what's done is done. ---------- Anyway, I pre-ordered this because I think of these sets Sony has been putting since 2009 the ones that have been remastered again by Mark Wilder and Maria Triana have improved sound and are good value at pre-order prices. I hope they put out a volume 2 that covers the second great quintet.

Where are your sources for the alleged non-existence of the mono tapes. Only Kind Of Blue seems certain to be lost I think. I'd rather the zipper stays closed.

I think Round About Midnight mono only. Milestones some kind of fake stereo mix on all releases before The Complete Columbia Studio Albums Collection. Plus some of the early metal spine boxes sounded kind of harsh and loud for some of the material compared to the 2009 remasters. For example Nefertiti on the metal spine box, ESP seems closer to the sound of the Complete Columbia Albums Collection. Never liked the sound of the metal spine Milestones.

Or those with the fetish that already bought everything in it the other 10,000 times they were reissued. Seriously, has there ever been a record/recordings more reissued than KOB in any genre? What is this, like the 7-10th time in under 20-years? From the you can't make this up.....they're not even using the mono tapes (they lost them/erased them/recorded over them).....they're mixing down to mono from a 3 channel stereo. Still happy with this?

Same here. This set contains enough interesting music.

This.

I thought the following news was fascinating. From io9 (link): Over at Quanta Magazine, Natalie Wolchover has authored a stunning feature on the "amplituhedron" – a jewel-shaped, geometric object that could give scientists a new perspective on the quantum world, while "[challenging] the notion that space and time are fundamental constituents of nature."

Exclusive: Journalist uses Freedom of Information Act to disclose 1961 accident in which one switch averted catastrophe A secret document, published in declassified form for the first time by the Guardian today, reveals that the US Air Force came dramatically close to detonating an atom bomb over North Carolina that would have been 260 times more powerful than the device that devastated Hiroshima. The document, obtained by the investigative journalist Eric Schlosser under the Freedom of Information Act, gives the first conclusive evidence that the US was narrowly spared a disaster of monumental proportions when two Mark 39 hydrogen bombs were accidentally dropped over Goldsboro, North Carolina on 23 January 1961. The bombs fell to earth after a B-52 bomber broke up in mid-air, and one of the devices behaved precisely as a nuclear weapon was designed to behave in warfare: its parachute opened, its trigger mechanisms engaged, and only one low-voltage switch prevented untold carnage.

Isn't it a bit ironic that now that the adult you can afford to buy all that music in physical form you wax lyrical about subscription on demand AM radio. I can't afford to buy everything I want, by any means. Afford in terms of cash, time to listen and space. And when I have to be taken into the old folks' home because I keep wetting the bed or something, and I say, 'where can I put these thousands of LPs, CDs and K7s?' I can well imagine the short reply I'll get, and I'll be glad a substantial proportion of them are on my hard drives. MG In The Netherlands chances of getting into an old folks home have been reduced to zero due to the neoliberal solutions to the crisis. They want you to stay at home and prefer the neighborhood and family to help you out. Else they'll try to take as much of your savings as they can. Our happy new 'participation society'. At least they won't confiscate your LP/CD collection. Oh, you think my cassettes are in danger? MG They need those to fix the uneven table legs of the civil servants's desks.

Wow, MP3 bonus tracks! Yabadabadoo!!!! http://youtu.be/2s13X66BFd8

Brad Mehldau's Day Is Done. Two Lennon McCartney songs off the top of my head.

Borderline too loud for sensitive ears, I imagine. I have the Sonny Rollins twofer On Impulse!/There Will Never Be Another You. A good budget option. Not bad like the Coltrane Impulse! Originals of Crescent with all these horrible earsplitting peaks.

As David said, the APO SACDs of both Black Saint and Mingus 5x are excellent.

Yes, it's the same. That's an essential music DVD (along with the Jazz Icons Mingus).

Yesterday, I watched the first episode of season one of Luther. Some shockingly violent images of a dead golden retriever. And the killer must be the Alice mentioned above that is still alive at the end of the third season. What kind of a police drama is this? I'm curious what this will turn into.

I'm not slamming the AAJ board, which I've rarely visited, and it's members, but speaking from my own experience, the rest of the site has become pretty useless as a comprehensive resource on jazz. And I happen to agree the banning of reviews of Chuck's releases is petty. I have no use for such a site.

What a childish thing to do. I wonder if it ever occurred to Mr Ricci that this harms the artists and that surely can't be the intention of a jazz site. I stopped reading the AAJ review section on a daily basis years ago. It's pretty much useless to me now. I get my recommendations from forums like Organissimo.
