Man with the Golden Arm

don't tell lumin, but i just put up a $92.00 proxy on that xtra rare Bromar side. hope he don't try the schill me up on it. peace, tonio

what gdogus said. they have always had a bullet splash on the catalog and since this bellied up on it's license and went direct to "last chance" with no "running low" in the past mailing they are in fact just looking out for the customers who did not get the catalog. i think that's all they are saying. simple. good for them. pity the poor customer who needs more.

sounds pretty respectable to me.

hey, he read my mind and said i have evil in it! cool!

you just can't see them cause theyr'e cam-o'flaged!

did a real quick color rough.

thanks! here's a direct link.

...and if it's under his arm it'll smell just like the beer! i loved that recent saturday night live skit / commercial about the roll-on small-of-the-back-tattoo remover for middle aged moms. funny as hell.

i'm kinda hungry and man this just makes me wanna go out and beat up some kid for his lunch! *(Halloween 2003! must have been a lot of TP-ing going on in the neighborhood!)

I have found that spools are quite helpful ←

dang! now i gotta organize the threads about organinzing my collection ...

i'm sure tony will be posting an article about this none too soon! i'm googling now!

aren't the Klones made by Mitsui?

this bft idea started in august of 2003. 22 months later we are up to test 26. had #25 gone ahead as planned (two months to ship some freekin cds?) we'd have been at test 27, at least, by now. that rate of fast and furious would probably take us up to #s 29 or 30 by the two year mark. once again i think these double discs sets quag the whole deal down regardless of how great or fun they might be and no disrespect to those who pulled them off. more importantly a single session sure makes it a whole lot easier on all the friendly folk who give time and dough to put together the logistics for distribution and the like for the compliler. true a stricter schedule would allow anybody to send out as much as they want but, sheesh, i can see some stephen king scenario playing out where we who are in so much need of more music to listen to are drawn, quartered and decapitated by shiny silver odd-job frisbees when all of our cdrs come to life.

so Happy Birthday Mithter Johnthon!

just what a single costs here via domestic first class and ya get it in three days max! you sure did!!

sounds like a fine plan. when it was in the single digits the test was flying along and pretty much was on course up until the month-and-a-half of bft 25 and that with only a third of the folks even responding whether or not they got it. seems the thing went into chug mode with the double disc + mailings. great to get lots of stuff but a big burden on the fine organissimites who handled mailings and even burning of mosaic select equivelants for the compiler. one disc a month. sixty cent stamp on an envelope. ten cent disc inside. cueing up the bastards to get some elusive cut you fell in love with ,,, pricless. WWMD?

and you get peter parker's boss and phil spector cool site

Hence Verve's "un-mixed" discs that come out shortly after the godawful re-mixed ones.

Not certain that Verve / fontana is a new rehash as the date is still 1989. The old re-issue from first go round. The Uni / Europe version in digipack is the one to look out for. Stunning!!!!

Stefan, I'm holding a vinyl 1981 Italian issue of Dakota w/ Manny Albam BB on Europa Jazz lp EJ1033. Mint fold out w/ Frank Wess, Garnett Brown, Cecil Bridgewater, Pepper Adams etc. produced by Sonny Lester. PM if you'd like it for trade or ?

and ta think my prescription just ran out!

Anyone care to comment specifically on Garrick's 'Black Marigolds' disc? I see it contains some "poetry" as well as "celeste" and "harpsichord". Three words that sit somewhere beyond my tolerance.
