John McLaughlin is on how much of this set?

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?

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.

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.

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?

Hey, what about Goodspeak's prediction for the World Series?

thanks Dave.

Did this come out? I have not seen it in stores and thought release date was yesterday.

I guess this makes the Tribe the second best team in baseball.

Have a great one guys

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.

He's not gay. It is pretty obvious from the look on his face that someone left his cake out in the rain!

Jeez, for a brief second I thought I was going to be watching the Tribe tonight.... But as Elvis sings "I Forgot to Remember to Forget"

Great summary - thanks for sharing and helping us relive the moments!!!!!!!!!

Goodspeak was rooting for the Sox, but now he wants the Rockies, right? Don't forget that the NL West is the premier division in Baseball. So I guess you guys had a brief moment of friendship.

Dan Congratulations and thanks for the kind words. I could argue some of the calls and how much it might have affected the outcome but that would be sour grapes and given the rather wide run differential the bottom line is that a different Tribe team showed up for the last 3 games and so the Red Sox clearly dominated and clearly deserve to represent the AL in the World Series. Best of Luck. Now does this mean you and Goodspeak are pals? Something positive out of tragedy.

So! How stOOpid was I, Tribe fans? Uh....Paging Skeith. Well to repeat, Cleveland beat the Yanks when you said they wouldn't. And in the ALCS Cleveland won 3 games, when you said they would win 1, that makes you 300% wrong

I'm on suicide watch :( :( :(

Totally disagree, while that third album has a few good tunes, I think that Rick Roberts's voice, while maybe technically better than Gram's, is just too generic and a whole lot less compelling. Give me Gram's imperfect voice any day. I also think the album is just a bit too polished and prefer the overall sound on Gilded Palace - which is the best, in my opinion. Finally, I like from the third album the White Line Fever and To Romona covers, but songs like Four Days of Rain, All Alone, Hand to Mouth - I find these borderline easy listening Doobie Brothers material - unlistenable to me. Just my two cents. Fair enough. But it's those songs - Four Days of Rain, All Alone, Hand to Mouth (with Earl Ball's piano), et al - that make the album so appealing for me. I'm no real big fan of the Roberts pipes, but I think it's that generic aspect that makes for a more unified, organic sound for me. The earlier albums and Sweetheart may be more brilliant, but to my ears they're a matter of "rockers playing country". That third album is "country rock", and thus a more satisfying and rewarding outing for my listening purposes and pleaure. But then again, I'm a fella who believes the first two Pure Prairie League album ace EVERYONE for being the best two country rock albums. EVER. They were rightfully reunited on a single CD that was released a while ago. Brilliant. I suspect 'Mericans have baggage with the PPL, coz Amie just goes round and round and round. If I, too, was over exposed to that song, then I, too, might roll my eyes at mention of the band. As it is, their music continjues to come to me through a sense of wonder of a NZ schoolboy! It was all donwhill from there, but those two albums? Mighty. Listening again - I think the best original song on the third Burritos was "Colorado" - that's a great song. The worst "Why are you crying" The other thing about that album I don't like is that Sneeky Pete seems more restrained than on the first two and I love SNeeky Pete.

very far off from your prediction of Boston in 5. We'll talk again Saturday.

Of course it ain't over. However you're the one with the reality problem dude. You said the Indians would never get past the Yanks- then the Indians massacred them. You said Boston in 5, and with the Tribe up 3-1 ,you still think Boston is going to win even though one of their key players (Manny) doesn't care whether they win or not. What does that say about YOUR grip on reality? We did not say we have a lock, but it sure as hell is looking good - we only need one and have won the last 3. At least on this board, more Red Sox fans seems to be saying it is over than Tribe fans. In your Indians predictions, you are batting a whopping 0.

I thought it was 'til the Fat Man pitches? but... Yeah and I read this too and his other comments, so if Manny really feels that way and doesn't care, fine - great attitude.

Another brilliant prediction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And so....I would be batting well over .500 at this point. My prediction supports a Red Sox victory and the Rockies have already won the NLCS. If I was a baseball player, I'd be making millions of dollars right now. Well are you still believing in a Red Sox victory? I take your point about batting over .500 - BUT it is one thing to predict a Red Sox victory, but you said in 5 games. Now it looks possible it may be Tribe in 5 - so one might say that when you are wrong, you are REALLY wrong, as in WAY OFF. You also predicted an easy Yanks victory in the ALDS - that was WAY OFF. Bottom Line : Don't mess with Cleveland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You learned nothing from the ALDS? ANd if we get there, we do not fear in the least the Colorado Rockies.

OK, I"ll brag a little bit. I think that Wedge is making all the right decisions and the Tribe is hot.
