James Booker - True: Live at Tipitina's - April 25, 1978 Boulevards - Groove Bootsy's Rubber Band - Bootsy? Player of The Year

pre-ordered the Horace Tapscott - Tapscott + Winds

That’s correct. It looks like artist are co-opting “Bandcamp Friday” into a new release day thing.

People on discogs are funny. I actually have never gotten upset that a record is dirty. I clean every record before I spin it anyway. You would think someone spending the money they were asking for this set would know that’s the cost of buying vinyl. I would expect a record from the Electric Recording company to be clean but that’s a $500 new record.

It appears all good things must come to an end.

I believe Krieg Wunderlich was the mastering engineer at the time for CDs. I remember reading Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs didn’t put the info because they were about the label not the engineer or something goofy like that. It was their in house stable doing the remastering though.

Do you all actually play your 78s? I never bought any because I didn’t want to go through the trouble to play them.

Black editions so sometimes releases cds in Japan. edit: never mind. I got it backwards. Black editions released an album on vinyl after the cd issue in another label.

That’s my point. He isn’t claiming he’s a jazz musician. Others are and by giving merit to everyone’s opinion he’s being dragged by people who “don’t give a shit about Kenny G” but clearly do.

So it again comes back to people hate Kenny G because he is popular and gets the notoriety that people believe others should get.

How so? Because he made music that was marketed and made popular? My comment was in regards to being labelled jazz. Of course an artist wants to be popular. That is giving the masses a lot of credit since you don't expect the masses to be well informed.

This all sounds like people hate Kenny G because he’s getting recognition he didn’t ask for.

Thanks Dub

There is an Asian country that plays a Kenny G song when it’s time to go home. I don’t know the song but I think stores and malls play it to signal time to leave.

I agree with that Rooster and so does Kenny.

I like Kenny G as a person. People take him way more seriously than he takes himself. I've always wondered if it was jealously or just that he's the easy target. He had a running appearance on the Le Batard Show that was great. I often think people dismiss Kenny G before they even listen to what he has to say, this interview being the example. His discussion about recording vs live playing is an interesting philosophy. I don't actually listen to his music but his philosophy on artistry is fascinating and honestly commendable.

Darius Jones is a fucking genius

I’m not the target audience for this so it doesn’t effect me in anyway. I bet Stan would roll back over if he gets royalties off this release though.

Oakland Athletics: I’m expecting this to turn into a full tear down and rebuild. Maneas, Olson, Chappy, and my favorite Canha all will be gone amongst many others in conjunction with BoMel going to manage the Padres it’s going to be a rough stretch. All this coupled with the issues getting a new stadium at Howard Terminal I’m not sure what to make of my team.

My brother had a breakthrough case. Lost smell and taste and had a headache.

Try downtown music gallery, I think that’s where I bought it.

USPS is awful

That Jesse Sharps LP looks interesting considering it is source directly from the tapes where the cd was supposedly a 4th generation DAT. I’ll have to revisit the cd to see if an upgrade is in order.

If anyone find the cd for sale let me know.

I don’t generally own multiples of an album but started thinking about this due to a recently acquiring multiple copies of Bill Withers - Live at Carnegie Hall as well as the recent discussion about the Lee Morgan complete Lighthouse what to do with the 3CD version. I know some collectors own multiple color variants of records, but that seems to be something new vinyl collectors do. I’ve also seen some collectors want every variant, for example Japanese releases of a specific album. I’ve accidentally bought something I forgot I owned but will usually give that away. In the case of Bill Withers I had an old original copy that is in rough shape so I purchased the Music On Vinyl release when I found it on vacation. Then ended up getting the Mofi release because it was a good price. This album holds nostalgia for me because it was on repeat in the car as a kid. Not sure what I’ll do but am curious how others approach their music collection. Does anyone get multiples or buy stuff on multiple formats?
