If anyone is cd shopping and sees this box set, could you PM me their phone number? I can't find this set anywhere on the web. Thank you!

Den Dennis (Neil in TYO) comes out of the bathroom at a recording studio & looks at the camera: "I could've just dumped where Jimmy Page did, or Ozzy Osbourne, or Lemmy! Who has been here?" Pause Den toward camera: "Bananarama."

That's right Jazzdog, I forgot to mention that! If you ever find the video tape of these two episodes, GET IT! I think it was put out by Rhino. I know they put out a cd in 1988 which I still have. Combines songs & skits. Funny as shit and then some. Vim from Bad News narration (played by Adrian Edmonson): "I could play Stairway To Heaven when I was 12. Jimmy Page didn't actually write it till he was 22. I think that says a lot." Jazzdog; is your avatar The Young Ones, I can't quite make it out.

Just get it! I thought the same thing about the price, but I couldn't find it cheaper & once you buy it, it won't matter. All 12 episodes on 2 discs. The third has an episode from a show that Vyvian, Rik & Neil did (I forgot their real names) called Filthy Rich & Catflap, & one called Bottom that Vyvian & Rik did. They take a couple watchings to appreciate as it's hard to go up against The Young Ones's craziness. There's also a couple of short featurettes about TYO. Just get it! Favorite episode is the first one I ever saw on MTV in 1985: Bambi. Couldn't stop talking about it the next day in school. Still just as funny now as it was then.

Thanks J.A.W. I read a review on Amazon and this person said it included some latin stuff & a date where Quincy Jones conducted. Kirk was sideman on both. What albums would they be? And is it possible to get "Now Please Don't You Cry..." without buying "Rip Rig & Panic" as a two-fer?

Anyone know where I could find this and what albums it covers? Thanks.

I'm ultimately waiting for a release of 1966-67 studio stuff. Wonder if those tapes still exist?

"Hey Miles, remember when you did that album 'Kind Of Blue'?" "Yeah?" "That was awesome."

I didn't like Miles at first because of the muted trumpet. I hated that sound. The only box I was going to get was 65-68 because in watching Ken Burns's Jazz, there's that clip of them doing Gingerbread Boy(?) and I was just getting into jazz. I thought the riff was great and borrowed a promo copy of the box set from a friend. I liked it all. It ricochet (spell check) to being a fan of Coltrane already. The Gil Evans stuff was hard at first, but I love that also. I realized I liked the muted trumpet when I thought it sounded good on the Bitches Brew box and that was the segue back to rock, which was all I listened to at that point. Ain't touching the 80's stuff though.

My avatar wants to pass a message along to everyone: GO FUCK YOURSELFS MOTHERFUCKERS! I, myself, find it heathly to question the greats. Keeps things interesting as long as someone doesn't take it personally. If you'll notice, I don't have any smiley face next to Miles's message, that's because I have a dry sense of humor, like a hairball.

Go here: www.stewiesminions.com/main.php One of my favorite shows! It's coming back too, hopefully this fall!!!

I think I started the thread that got aric kicked off, I think the second time. It was a question about Wynton Marsalis's father called Wynton's Dad. I read the thread, but don't remember what he said that got him kicked off. I was just surprised it was my thread!

Glad to be rid of whoever ends up getting banned. We've all put up with their shit for too long. So long fuckfaces! Many thanks to b3-er & co.

I think we should go on the offensive & ban ourselves from this board! That would show everybody, yeah!

I just recently got the cd John L has pictured. It has those 7 songs and has other artists who also recorded only a few songs. Unfortunatley I can't remember them. Go to the Document Records website.

I'm curious. Was he only allowed to post on that thread? I never saw his name anywhere else.

Tuba as a solo instrument. Ever hear Ray Draper try to solo like Coltrane? It's awful!!!

I got rid of all my vinyl (this was before I was buying jazz) and bought everything I really liked on CD. The one thing I really miss is looking at each track and looking at the lighter & darker vinyl in the same song. It's like looking at the personality of a song. I'll also miss album covers being bigger. Did anyone notice around 1986 that any vinyl album was so light you could see through it when held up to a light? And because of this, they were always warped. I was pissed as I felt I was forced into buying cds because the vinyl was so fucking shoddy. All my Monkees 1986 reissues, all warped!

Someday won't be on the set. It's just 1963 & 64. Someday was 1961.

That's it, New Rising Sun. I only say that because when I had that cd, I also had a bio; so sorry my memory can't recall the title for sure (Electric Ladyland???), it's got a close up of him blowing smoke on the cover, thick book because of a huge discography in back. Anyway, it also covers a number of bootlegs and I couldn't find that title anywhere. The book came out the same year as Voodoo Soup and was not listed in there, but I couldn't find any descriptions of that song either. As you can tell, I don't have the book anymore, but it's a standard book in stores.

Did anyone have the comp from the mid 90's, I think, called Voodoo Soup? I forget the name of the first song, but the liners said Hendrix played everything on this track. It's an instrumental. It definitely sounds like him, but I never saw the title anywhere else. Anyone know if that was a faked Hendrix track?

If I remember correctly, their first, or one of their first, albums they released was a Rodney Dangerfield album.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO and....NO!

The first concert I ever saw was KISS when I was 13, and Night Ranger opened. So technically, ugh, Night Ranger was the first band I ever saw live....I have to throw up now. The drummer was situated front stage right and sideways so when he turned to sing, he was looking at the crowd. It was the last original tour of KISS before they took their make up off. I didn't know Ace Frehley wasn't there. It was Vinny Vincent. I saw them in 1996, very glad to have seen them. Anyway, Night Ranger, blah!
