It's the 80's domestic release. They want $15 and I got nothing to do with this - it's just a courtesy to those of you looking for it.

Well sound quality is a very personal thing. I like the sound of the new domestic one better and that is why I am selling this one. But others have expressed, and I can understand it, a preference for the sound of JRVGs. The domestic reissue also has 2 bonus tracks at the end of the cd and it depends whether you value those or not. They are ok, I prefer the originally issued takes.

This cd is in near mint condition and comes with the OBI strip, the fourfold japanese liner notes (tunes and personnel in english) and the plastic inner sleeve - all the original stuff. I offer it at $22.00 US insured to anywhere in the US

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best wishes for a great birthday!!!!!!!!!

Anyone care to comment on the sound quality of True Blue in comparison to previous releases of this title?

I would love to see Organissimo play a gig in NYC and hook up with you. By the way, wouldn't there be some restaurants like Moustache in the Detroit area?

Glad you had a good trip. Interesting that you went to Moustache. I love this place too and just a few weeks ago took some friends from Ohio there. They loved the food , particularly the Ouzi - which is that rice and meat baked in a round philo dough ball - just scrumptous-hope you tried that. did you eat at an Indian restaurant? If so, give me your review because I am always on the lookout for good (preferably cheap) Indian places.

Hey, what happened to the Wednesday lunch? And I got all dressed up too... I knew I never should have posted in the Politics Forum

I've been following this in the New York Times. My understanding is that a lot of the Trane stuff was put up by Alice Coltrane and what I don't get is why Alice Coltrane would part with these treasures? Or wouldn't Ravi have wanted these?

Well Ella did the Harold Arlen Songbook and I consider her a jazz musician - and both of these tunes are on it. I love her renditions on that recording. I love Harold Arlen's music too.

I hope that they are out looking at The Gates because the weather is AWESOME right now and tomorrow is supposed to be rainy and dark!

Pryan - when this first came out, I was not a huge fan of it-but that is only relative to their other cds which I consider superb. BUt I don't think it has been reissued so it probably is hard to find, and depending on what the price is, you may want to grab it.

You may be thinking of Darbar which is around 55th or 56th and 6th ave - it's pretty good but pricey.

Smart move Maren, Actually many of those 6th street Indian restaurants are among the worst in the city. I'd recommend as cheap but fairly good - Baluchi's - there are a number of them in the city, but they are fairly good. any chance you would be in lower manhattan for lunch.. If so maybe I could join you - I will be working and depending on work - I may not have much time. But I am sure you are flooded with offers.

If you people don't start talking about the new Paul Motian Trio cd, then I will be forced to return to the Politics Forum and you know you won't like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know RDK, I guess mine are mostly JMTs, the only Winter I have is the "Sound of Love" live one. Not sure I noticed a particularly different character from the one Wiinter I have to the JMTs. This new one is clearly the old formula and yet there is something just slightly but indescriibably different, but I can't articulate it. Lovin' it though, Big time Sorry Guy, Hope the torture ends soon!!!

I am breaking with that fine Organissimo tradition of having tons of posts anticipating a new release or reissue and then none or next to none after it comes out. I got this one and I love it! So there!!

How is The Swing Era, Gom? I keep thinking I want to read it. Give me your review.

I have been comparing this one (which is taken from the Seven Steps box) to my japanese 9000 series Mastersound edition and have some comments. They both sound good and both sound different: These are my initial impressions: 1) at the same or similar volumes the japanese version has a larger image and wider too and it gives me the impression or more depth as opposed to a flatter image on the american. This may be created however by the width of the image - not sureI feel like I'm in the first row with the japanese version but further back with the american. 2) Less surface noise or hiss on the american version. 3) american version is leaner perhaps but more focused of an image than the japanese. Haven't decided which I like better yet. I know Lon has said a few words on this. Any reaction to my comments here, Lon? Others?

Best wishes and congratulations!

Sal, I like these, the best is the first one, which I think is Communication Theory, the other ones I like a bit less.

I agree with Late on this. I thought the McMaster japanese versions were better sonically than the previous US releases.

The law, as described in the film was to make it illegal to transport women accross state lines to engage in prostitution to "profit" the person that took the woman out of state. In other words "pimpin'" out of state. Hence, the term "White Slavery". Jack Johnson surely was not guilty of that. I don't have a copy of the film, but I don't remember the "profit" element being there. Furthermore, I have read a text of the Mann Act and it makes no reference to profit. If you can direct me to text which talks about profit I would appreciate it. One more thing, I believe that Chuck Berry was convicted under this law and there was no issue there of his making any profit as I recall it.

Hey Soulstation 1, Look as much as the Browns/Steelers rivalry goes back, at least with the old Browns, I thought that you, like most Browns fans, have a distinct disregard for Belichick (the man is a cyborg), who was not popular in Cleveland when he coached the Browns. Therefore, shocking as it may seem, Go Steelers!
