Sorry, but Sonny's first comments on the world being so screwed up only a deity could have done it make no sense.

Yes I would. I would certainly refuse to pay to see him.

I'll be drinking this tonight over dinner.

Tell that to the Scottish and their deep fried Mars bars.

I read a few threads on that with contributions by our J.A.W. among others on the Hoffman board and the outcome was this set has the same mastering. My set does. The vocals are shrill on the earlier discs. There is a 4 CD set with only master takes from about 2007 with better mastering. I've yet to pick that up. I did download that set for comparison's sake and it does have better sound on the vocals.

I bought the same thing in different packaging for €10 a few years back. They just repackaged the thing as one of those popmarket sets for a more money. Still a good deal compared to what the original set cost in the early 2000s. The sound is the same on all of these.

Huzzah! Murray wins!

Sopranos marathon, all six seasons, a couple of episodes a week. I need to fit in another viewing of Breaking Bad season 5 part 1 before 11 August. Final season of Dexter out of loyalty to a once enjoyable show.

Encore :

More Hommy Klein (He has a message. I believe!)

Yes. "The Rosetta Stone of modern jazz" they called it. I have the fourth edition of the Penguin Guide to thank for putting me on to a lot of classic albums and other essential releases like the Plugged Nickel set. Subsequent editions of the guide have been of far less value to me.

It seems Microsoft were the real dummies when it comes to Windows 8. I wish I could help you, but your friend has my sympathy.

Good for me it's still available. I used to be more into 50s hardbop during the nineties/early 2000s than lately, so I've neglected to pick this up so far. I must perhaps give it priority on ze list.

What year did it go out of print? (I bought mine in 1999.)

£13.50 for a new CD. Not bad considering it's out of print.

The one that was hardest for me to digest of those first three was Sketches Of Spain (tracks 2, 3, etc.).
