Unfortunately, there was no time to visit record stores. But thanks for the tip.

I will be visiting Chamaign, Illinois this Monday and Tuesday, and wanted to visit a record store if I have the time. Judging from their websites, it seems to me that Exile on Main Street and Record Swap are the ones to visit. Does anyone know whether either or both are worth visiting for jazz vinyl? Thanks in advance.

Hi folks. I would like to acquire over time LPs of some of my favorite Miles Davis, Blue Note, and Fantasy titles. The problem is that there are so many different versions of the more popular titles out there that I don't know where to start. There are the BN titles for around $10, some put out by Classic Records at $35-50, some put out by a couple of companies in 45 RPM's at $50. And those are just new versions out there. As for Miles Davis, there are the cheap $10 versions, Legacy 180 gm versions at $18, and then some other more expensive versions. Any advice or preferences out there? I am tempted to get the cheaper $10 versions, but then I don't want to get anything that would not be significant sonic upgrades from my CDs. Any advice or even just expression of preferences would be much appreciated.

I just got a turntable, and also found a very clean copy of Steve Lacy and Roswell Rudd's "Trickles" (Black Saint) at a local vinyl store. I was looking forward to getting some vinyl versions of the Black Saint titles I have in CDs, as the CDs all sound pretty cloudy/opaque -- as if the recordings all have a cold. I'm disappointed to find that this LP, though a bit more transparent, is not that much better. Is this other people's impression of Black Saint LPs too?

Last week, at a local record store: $50 for Mosaic George Shearing 5-CD set (no box or booklet, but everything else in tip top condition). Plus $5 for Disc 2 of the Nat King Cole set. Now, I wish I had the other 17!!

I will be receiving my first turntable (Rega P1) in about 2 days. A person who seems to be quite knowledgeable about audio matters has told me that one needs to break in a new cartridge by playing on it for 20-30 hours. He has also told me that I should use clean LP's when I do this, and also that the LP's I use may get damaged in the process. I asked Vladimir, the audio guy at Cadence, about this, and he says that the last part of the advice I got -- about the LP's getting damaged -- is complete hogwash. Could people give me their opinion as to who is right? Obviously, if LPs will get damaged in the breaking in process, I'd hate to play my Commodore LPs in the first few days, and would want to go out and buy a cheap and clean LP for the purpose. Thanks in advance.

Wonderful photo! I will probably get a turntable for my upcoming birthday. I am tempted to try a couple of these Blue Note 45 RPM's. But the fear is that once I listen to these, I won't be able to listen to the CDs I've amassed over the years. Has something like that happened to anyone here?

Thanks. Don't know any of these except Boccherini. Boccherini's string music is available in several Virgin releases from the chamber group Europa Galante led by the violinist Fabio Biondi. These are firy performances, and also beautiful covers. Highly recommneded!!

I've been listening to 2 recent CDs of string quartets by composers who were contemporaries of Beethoven, certainly not as well-known now, but still wrote very good music. These are: Franz Krommer's quartets played by Marcolini Quartet (Avi) Goerge Onslow's quartets played by Diotima Quartet (Naive) I was wondering whether people know of other quartet recordings that fit the bill. I find it interesting to hear what those who admired Haydn wrote if they did not follow Beethoven's lead. Sort of like alternative musical universe. Krommer is supposed to have written 77 string quartets, and Onslow 36!! Very few are recorded. I say bring 'em on!

Just got it and listened to the first 3 tracks of Disc 7. Oh, what a glorious set!! Oh, how I wish my other favorite pianist, John Lewis, had produced as much trio material.

Yes, I checked with them. But no luck. Good luck with your search.

Thanks for trying!!

Alec, If you can check, that would be great. Those prices sound fine with me.

I am looking for a copy of this with both CD and inserts in excellent unblemished condition. Thanks.

Hello. If you have a copy of this that you would be willing to trade away or sell, please PM me. I am looking for one with both CD and inserts in excellent condition, with no promo or cutout marks. I don't need the cardboard sleeve. A Japanese edition of the same remaster (VICJ-2XXX, I believe) would also be welcome as long as it comes in a regular jewel case, and not a mini-LP.

There is no trace of this Jeb Bishop record (or the record company) anywhere on the web. Any leads?

I like Neal Caine's "Backstabber's Ball" for which Goold and Stephen Riley forms a very neat front line, and also Riley's trio recordings. Wanted to see if people like Goold's own recordings. Or do they get tedious after a few songs?

Aside from Doerner, the one who has impressed me most is Imai. His guitar playing is fantastic.
