Yeah - I just ordered it too. I follwed Lon's cue and hit Half.com. The price is RIGHT !

Is that the live "Ain't Nobody's Busines" with the hip alto ? I didn't know it was Sonny Criss. There's no credits on the lp. Some of the lp is live, some studio dates. It's good Spoon and the first I ever bought.

Right..... but Forewarned is forearmed. Knowing the vicissitudes of these "budget" labels, and willingness to "take a shot" for some small change made it a lot fun to go through the bargain bins and drugstore racks and come up with something you could take a shot on. Now paying a lot for these things changes the whole picture. Then it's a rip-off from the jump.

The funny thing is that sometimes the music is good anyway. Ya never know, ya know ?

Yeah.. that's the score. The Spoon Crown lp has: I Done Found Out Sweet Lovin' Baby Fickle Woman On RC Swingtime: Let's Have A Ball I'm Wondering And Wondering Yeah - those are the tracks where the titles are the same or close. The rest are probable from the same sets, but retitled. The Spoon lp is the more obscure, but it available on some cd that came out a couple of years ago. The RC stuff was on so many $1.98 lps with so many titles it would make your head spin. I doubt anyone has an accurrate count of how often that stuff was issued on bargain bin lps in the 60s.

With a Crown record the title might be deliberately misleading. I bet it's separate tracks bu each artitst - not RC and Spoon together. I have a Spoon lp on Crown and I bet the RC tracks are originally from the Swingtime catalogue.

I watched it a second time tonight...TEARS were coming out of my eyes I was laughing so hard !

Don't miss it. You'll love it. Truly a season finale.

Tonight had to be the funniest ever ! Marilyn Monroe !

Ok - I ordered and recieved it yeterday. Listened and dug it today. Nice call Jim. It's thorougly enjoyable and entertaining from start to finish...and that's what "The Treniers" were. Total entertainers and very musically sound. It goes back to a time when music was not so rigidly categorized, so you have the R&B, Pop, Jazz and Hokum all coalescing and melding into a very nice package. Note: I DUG the bass playing on this cd. Precision bass with flatwound strings and this guy put every note in the right place. Ths is one of those records that for me just again show that it doesn't matter if it's a fender or upright - if it swings it swings !

Started snowing here too. I just got home from my gig and beat the snow, but I looked out the window and there it was.

WORD !

Cutty Cutshall. The only really good session you'll be missing will be the Newport live date. It was one side of a Coumbia lp (the other side was Louis Armstrong - GOOD LP ! ) The band is terrific on that set. Wild Bill, Lou McGarity, Bud Freeman, Peanuts Hucko front line with Leonard Gaskin, Wettling and Gene Schroeder swingin' nicely behind them. Wild Bill is in very good shape on this one.

Yeah..I'm with you on both counts. I wish they would discover some kind of treasure trove of unreleased Condon recordings...or tapes from the various incarnations of his clubs or Nick's for that matter.

It's not revivalist dixieland by a long shot. It's swing and mainstream solos with an ensemble (usually) first and last chorus, and there aren't any vocals. The rhythm section is thoroughly swingin'.
