  1. I'd put "Knife in the Water" and "Last Tango in Paris" high on the list
  2. Have a great one
  3. Neal was the piano player for the house band at a jazz club/bar in Cleveland for the better part of the 1980s. I spent many an enjoyable hour there-top flight jazz.
  4. thanks everyone for your help on this!
  5. thanks Marcello for your helpful response
  6. I have a scanner but I doubt it can print from negatives (and yes I am talking about negatives not undeveloped film)- do you know if all scanners can do this? I also have the impression that printing from negatives gives a superior image to scanning negatives and then printing from them - do you have an opinion on that? anyway, I don't want to buy a new scanner just for a few rolls of negatives. But thanks for the creative idea.
  7. anyone still have negatives from cameras that used 110 film? I have not found anyone who will develop it unless for an exorbitant price. This film is about half the size of 35mm and previous prints were not exactly pristine - is this film or the cameras that used it probably inherently inferior and therefore any prints would not exactly be sharp?
  8. He wants a 3/4 size because the regular is too big. Basic options in that size and our price range ($100-$150) is a Fender Squire and Ibanez (not sure what the model name is). I played them both in a store and seemed ok. Probably an impossible question- but for you guitarists out there familiar with the current scene ( I owned a Les Paul 30 years ago) would you recommend one over the other?
  9. I have the following for sale - all are Sony Mastersound DSD editions: Miles in Berlin (SRCS 9708) mini lp Miles in Tokyo (SRCS 9746) mini lp -gatefold Seven Steps to Heaven (SRCS 9755) mini lp Four And More (SRCS 9707) jewel case My Funny Valentine (SRCS 9706) jewel case Miles Davis in Europe (SRCS 9756) jewel case all remasterings done in 2000 or 2001 These are all in excellent condition and I have the OBI strips. $15 each delivered, insured to a US address. Take them all for $14 each.
  10. I picked this box up a couple of days ago. Like others have said, the outer box had several major dents concealed by the paper on the back, so I did not notice until I opened it. I won't be returning it because I suspect that given the thinness of the metal a lot of the boxes will be dented. As for the liner notes, I am somewhat disappointed - many of the pages don't have much text and what text is there I did not find too compelling. Buckmaster - I expected much more than he delivered. As for the music, I have listened through disc 4 and have found the music to be alternately fantastic and boring - but it is too soon for a final judgement at this moment. (I must admit I was not too thrilled by this music when it first came out.)
  11. I agree it should have been 1 disc since the tunes are pretty much identical. It's low fi but Gram's voice is recorded well, but the only instruments you hear are bass, drums and pedal steel - so I am wondering where the other guitars and instruments are. It sounds a bit stark and spare and not as rich a the studio recordings sound to me anyway.
  12. Congratulations to CC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Dan have you noticed any of the "spotting" issues that I have raised above?
  14. do you mean they were rendered unplayable or just marked up?
  15. John McLaughlin is on how much of this set?
  16. I recently noticed that certain cds and dvds which I am storing in CaseLogic notebooks have developed sort of light "spots" (sort of little smudges) on the side which touches the plastic side not the cloth side where you put the cds. It is only noticeable on those cds or dvds which are fairly mirror-like - that is clear - not those which have painted artwork or are sort duller finish. Does not seem to affect playability, but it looks like hell. Anyone have this experience? any ways to remove the spots?
  17. Sal I believe you are confused here. I think that the series being discussed here has just come out in recent weeks. I am also interested in whether people think the sound is better than the 20 bit versions that have been around 10 years or so.
  18. picked this up yesterday, and on first impression the performances are good, but the sound, while acceptable,is hardly audiophile - but I am demanding in that area.
  19. Can it be safely assumed that this box will come out later in a long box, no metal spine, somewhat cheaper version as the other Miles Columbia boxes have all done?
  20. Hey, what about Goodspeak's prediction for the World Series?
  21. thanks Dave.
  22. Did this come out? I have not seen it in stores and thought release date was yesterday.
  23. I guess this makes the Tribe the second best team in baseball.
  24. Have a great one guys
  25. Nah. Rocks in six. They're just on fire right now. They are young and got nothing to loose. It will be a fun WS to watch: Sox pitching vs Rocks hitting. Uh hem.... paging Goodspeak? Congrats to Dan, Boston and their fans, Rockies and fans have my condolences.
