MediaFace is a program for labelling from Neato. Its available at the Neato website. I have had a version for maybe 4-5 years or so. My siblings don't like it but I have been able to get pretty good results. Don't know what it costs currently, I got a disc for free when I 1st got it, I think they were counting on people buying their perforated paper to go with. While I have tried the perforated paper, I couldn't get the printer to align as closely as would like.

I played around with MediaFace today just to see if I could get printing on the spine of a slimline, and I was able to. One of the nice things about MediaFace is that you don't need to purchase perforated paper to print on. You can make a Test Print which will print only the outline of the insert you are making, then you can put that back into the printer to make your final copy. The outline shows you where to cut.

If by "young person" you mean 49... then yes.

Hey Bebop, its chilly in here! Free For All, the Rewards proram is free. I understand some may feel that the ability to keep track of everything you buy is intrusive (and it is), but the fact is a ton of retailers are doing the same thing from most of the supermarkets in my area to sporting goods stores, office supply stores ect, ect. Hell, I think I need a man purse just to tote all the cards around. Sundog, I will let you know.

My guess would be its a mistake in the Allmusic database.

I just finished online sign up for Borders membership and took a 30% off coupon which I intend to use for the new Richard Thompson box. I wonder how many people take the cup of coffee instead?

1985, well, i was pretty sure I had it earlier than 1992.

Well bust my buttons! I bought it when (I assume) it was originally released, which, according to Allmusic, was 1992 although if someone had asked me I would have guessed a couple of years earlier. I am going to have to hoe it out and give another listen. I just don't remember it as having spectacular sound. Still curious about what people think about the 45rpm issues from Aoustic Sounds. TIA.

I am curious, can anyone comment on the 45 rpm Fantasy issues? Pretty pricy at $50 a whack. However, if they are "that" good, maybe I'd spring for one every 3-4 months or so. One thing that caught my eye was that they issued Ben Webster at the Reniasance Club in this fomat. Its sold out. It just seems curious to me to issue this in an audiphile format since its a live recording that, iirc, wasn't recorded on professional equipment to start with.

At his age Roger Clemens has to be concerned about wearing down. The smart move for him is to wait until May 1 to re up with Houston (as much as I'd like to see his final season in Beantown). Houston presents the best adjustment for a guy who wants to come and go according to his own schedule. The Yankees are already own record that they won't go for Roger rules. The Red Sox do have a lot of question marks going into the season. However, they are getting set up for what will hoepfully be a 4-5 year run based on (can it be?!?) good pitching and defense. I still can't figure out, though, why they didn't sign Caberera at short for 2005, should have been around 3 million less per year than what they spent on Renteria (maybe even more since the Sox signing of Renteria set the market for the other short stops that year).

We had about 2-3 inches overnight here in RI. The storm has just picked in the last half hour(10:30 AM), starting to look like the blizzard that was forecast. Lots of snow and lots of wind, white out conditions.

It's not jazz but I picked up this compilation on Rhino from 1996 in a cheapy used bin some time ago and I have to say, its pretty damn good. Features 14 artists each performing one song by this premier song writer. Performers include Los Lobos, Bob Dylan, Shawn Colvin, Irma Thomas, Dion, The Band, Aaron Neville, John Hiatt, BB King, Lou Reed, Rosanne Cash, Soloman Burke, Dr. John, and Brian Wilson. If you see, it grab it. You won't be dissappointed.

Nate, you are absolutely correct. I believe there is a mention of distortion on the discography at the Mosaic website. I had the Omega Tape music 1st on an Onxy lp and then on the BN twofer, finally on the cd releases from 1988. I think I will stick with the issues I have.
