me too Had an old vinyl of Uptown and miss it

freddie roach; my phone Yes this is hopefully My People Soul People Got me all excited at first too Bummer! Some nice bits there too...Trudy Pitts too hmmmm....the loud 'kerching' of an underspent jazz budget hust chimed

but yes I agree he was a hero for me ....very diverse lps over a wide career. Not all smashes or huge hits...even his hits were panned by the jazz fraternity but some stonkin lps all the same. I still regularly entertained by both Electric Byrd AND Fancy Free AND Free Form As for whether I have overrated lps from this period- yeh plenty by a veriety I have not enjoyed or do not share others opinion. Big Deal I never did get abuzz from the Kenny Clarke thing nor did I really enjoy some of Jimmy Smiths LPs but thats no problem...still got em and maybe should sell em. Perhaps that is the part of my stamp collecting type of interest in the music. Would not be the first or last who hung onto to cds /lps for that reason. Maybe I should sell em- but I will probably not A

When he found out that he wasn't getting royalties for his hit album, "A new perspective", because he'd signed a cash contract with BN, he didn't bitch; he moved to Verve, MG

Hmmm! Well for me the Mosaic killer set that look well used and used well :0P are : Larry Young Andrew Hill Jackie Mclean Art Blakey Elvin Jones ( and I do not have the Tina Brooks any more nor the Herbie NIchols as I flogged em for the cd sets) As for the selects I have not got all of them but I did think the best by far was the Andrew Hill then John Patton Duke Pearson Grachan Moncur Paul Chambers But tomorrow that list may change....then again ......it may not!

For those who would like to know a little more about Linux I found this today which was rather interesting (not 100% wonderful but still very good at explaining the score with linux. I will stick the link and the text on for those who prefer the source http://polishlinux.org/gnu/five-things-to-...witch-to-linux/ Five things to know when you switch to Linux [ Sunday, 19 November 2006, ariadacapo ] If you have just installed GNU/Linux on your computer, and have only ever used Windows before, here are five things you need to know to get going rapidly. Author: Olivier Cleynen #1: App-searching is a pleasure, or: How to install and uninstall programs On Windows, you were probably used to find a given program on the Internet, download a setup.exe file, and then install the program in something like C:\Program Files. Things are very different on GNU/Linux. On most main distributions, finding, downloading, installing and uninstalling applications is done with one single add/remove program. Within this program, a wealth of useful, free and gratis software has been listed, sorted and described for you. You need only select/deselect the programs you wish to install/uninstall, and apply your changes. The download and set-up will be done automatically. You do not have to worry about where the program is installed. You do no have to worry about viruses, malware or “demo” programs (the application list has been constructed and checked carefully by your distribution’s programmers). This aspect of GNU/Linux is probably the most satisfying and enjoyable to newcomers. Don’t be afraid to try new things out and enjoy your time! Also on PolishLinux.org: a more advanced installation tutorial. #2: Be wary when going root, or: The command-line and the root user Whichever operation you are doing on your GNU/Linux computer, it can be done by typing code. Therefore, when you ask for advice, advanced users might reply with a series of coded commands for you to type in your computer, rather than long explanations on “where to click”. This method is called the command-line and code is entered through a small program called a terminal. You do not need to know how to type code for a normal use. On Windows, the main computer user is allowed to run any program and change any system parameter. In the Linux world, however, things are different. A normal user is allowed to perform normal actions, such as moving/writing files, launch normal applications, etc. Only the root user, however, is able to modify system configuration, update the system, and install programs. This restriction makes sure that any malicious program inadvertently run by a normal user, because it hasn’t got root privileges, may not cause much harm. When you attempt to do something only the root user can do, you will be prompted for the root password. Therefore, you should have a password set for the root user, even if it’s very simple: this will prevent yourself from inadvertently damaging your system. Whenever your computer prompts you for a password, be wary and make sure you know what you are doing. When using the command-line, getting root user privileges is done by typing sudo before the command (it means: super-user do and you will be prompted for a password). If you are asked to type a command starting with sudo and you are not sure what it means, ask in a forum (we suggest the beginner-friendly Nuxified.org). #3: Two (different) sides to a coin, or: GNOME and KDE You will quickly come across two frequently used names in the GNU/Linux world: GNOME and KDE. Windows only has one look and feel, however, the GNU/Linux world has many. In particular, GNOME and KDE are the most popular desktop environments. Under one desktop environment, you run the same computer, with the same Linux distribution, with the same files, as under another. What you alter is the graphical display: the way windows are managed and things are viewed. Most programs run equally well under KDE or GNOME. Some more specific applications –generally programs whose name starts with a K or G (such as KOffice or Gedit)– simply look better in their native environment. You might find that KDE favors graphical artifacts, configuration menus, customization possibilities, to enable impressive desktops. GNOME, on the other hand, might appear more frugal for it favors simpler, cleaner and easier (if maybe less advanced) menus and graphical configuration. In any case, both enable very sleek, attractive and/or productive desktops -only in different ways. GNU/Linux distributions often come with a default desktop environment (for example, Ubuntu with GNOME, and OpenSUSE with KDE), but you are able (and encouraged) to try a different one. There are also other desktop environments, perhaps most notably the less hardware-intensive Xfce. #4: You-may you-may-not, or: File permissions The file permissions determine who is able to access, move or modify each given file. The GNU/Linux system is very strict with these (there is no way to bypass or ignore them), and treats a folder the exact same way as a file. There are three types of actions on the file: read (self explanatory), write (the ability to change and move the file), and execute. The latter, execute, is a bit peculiar: * Setting a file as an executable means the system will try to run it as a program when you open it. This is potentially dangerous and you should never do this if you are unsure; * Setting a folder as executable simply means that programs will be able to access its contents (this is a default property). For example, your vacation photos folder will be executable, so that you may browse your photos with your favorite program. The file owner is the only user who can modify the permissions. He can set different permissions for himself (the “file owner“), defined groups of users (”user groups“), and all other users (”others“). In practice, all of your files (usually stored in /home/your_user_name/ ) will always have permissions set so that you may access and change them. You won’t be able to access other users’ files at all (they are usually stored in /home/someone_else/ ), and you won’t be able to change system files (files such as the ones in /bin/ or /dev/ ) without the root password. #5: Five more quick tips, or: Various additional details Some miscellaneous points that might be useful: * No defragmenting needed You may be used to regularly defragment your hard drive under Windows. Under GNU/Linux, however, the file systems in use are extremely resistant to fragmentation so that this is completely unnecessary. *Anti-viruses made redundant Because GNU/Linux is very secure, running an anti-virus is not necessary either (unless you deal with Windows files under an emulator, or pass them on to Windows users). Be careful when you go root, and keep your system up-to-date with the automatic security updates: you’ll stay safe. *Case-sensitive filenames Filenames under GNU/Linux are case-sensitive. This means that report.odt, Report.odt, and report.ODT will all be different files that can be in one given folder. This is inherent to the system and you cannot change it. *Hidden files start with a dot Files and folders whose name starting with a dot (like a .thumbnails folder) are hidden. There are usually many such files and folders in your home directory, containing your settings for the programs you use (do not erase or alter them). You can activate the viewing of the hidden files usually through the “view” menu of your file manager. * Accounting for hardware There are sometimes different software versions, according to different hardware. “Normal” computers are often named “i386″ or “x86″ computers; But there are sometimes “64-bit” versions for 64-bit-processor computers, and versions for Mac hardware (including the G5, G4, G3 series). Unless you have special hardware, you can simply run the “x86″ (or “i386″) version. Finally… This is by no means a complete tutorial to GNU/Linux, merely a quick list of information to get newcomers going rapidly. There is a great number of things you can learn to do with GNU/Linux, and the web is full of good places to guide you. You can start with the First steps section right here on PolishLinux.org, and then head off to the Nuxified.org forums where advanced users and beginners are all welcome. Enjoy the free software world! You’ll never want to go back.

Let's do a KDE versus Gnome flamewar sometime. Hey who you callin'? I have still to get fully to grips with the whole linux thing and had a few 'issues' ubt yeh ...I need a fix or programme that does something.....there you go tell me how I can improve it...all very different. One bug bear was getting my mp3 recognised- got it sorted because of a 'community sharing ' soft huggy approach...sorted! Would not have got that with windoze

used firefox for a few years now and I ain't going back. It is really good and a hell of a deal safer than Internet Explorer. Also used Thunderbird too for emails which was good too. I have also on the back of this got rid of Microsoft Office which was tired and have Open Office- free! and very very easy to use. I then went the whole hog and got so ticked off with microsoft that I showed Windows the door and now operate Linux- Kubuntu. Free operating system - very high quality and less crashy Goodbye Bill Gates and global domination and hello non corporate, more cooperative software that is FREE. As it damn well should be

Hmmmm. Let me see know. Author taken liberties, talking in sweeping generlizations. Nope No surprise there

Weird stuff is when you scroll this one up and down the stripes seem to grow and shrink....heavy man! Try it and see (the jackie mclean one)

sure enough that is why there are many peoples lps with different cover to record issue...eg NY or Liberty etc as well as the record labels sometimes being different

In light of the post here http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...mp;#entry576498 Could we have a new one for dropped Jimmy Smith records, perhaps NVG- ---Kind of nearly VG good but with a nice straight line across the vinyl!

mine was twice.....a new copy of Reuben Wilson Groovy Situation that was dropped ..big scratch.even bigger sulk Second was my (then baby) son playing at being djs while I had my back turn with my nice clean copy of Electric Byrd.........AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Thing is .....it sounded better after

Beyond that, it's a free country. Carpe diem.

Yup Yup

Like ..............wow In all my huntin days I never saw those two................had seen the Hank Mobley........just goes to show. Thanks for sharing those

ah but is it only the 'oldies' that are investing in old pressings. The better question is to ask why are they doing it....... Vinyl quality - only arguable with nm copies for this age? reminiscence - likely? Profiteering - also likely? stamp collecting - cynical but also possible With the introduction of auction sites the I want it, and can get it NOW factor has been a big assistance. 10 years ago finding older Blue Notes for me was very very hard, even finding vinyl of any variety was hard enough on Blue Note ( where I live here in North of the UK) However with ebay came an opportunity to find and actually get what I wanted. I saw this as an opportunity to sell as I knew otherwise it would be too easily an opportunity to BUY * (likes a lordy that would have got me shot!) -So I off loaded (made a small mint- told here often enough YAWN! but do not regret it as I wathced and drooled as more and more vinyl became available. My only pleasure is know helping others find rare records- knowing the pleasure that gives all around. A small aside was that I had a nervous wobble a few years ago when i saw for sale a nice collection on vinyl of nearly all the 1500 series from Japan which I could have afforded and a nice (ish) turntable with the new project turntables- I lined up the cash, made the decision and then lined a friend up with it who was in heaven . I deserve a reward ( I sulked for weeks) but a friend here at the same time lined me up with a long sought after Kenny Burrell record (thanks) and that made it all go away

I gave up the vinyl habit, regrets - sure! plenty but could not afford the vinyl and some was not so good quality ...with cds I get what I need, which is to listen to the Blue Notes. I now get to fuss over whether I want em remixed or not! Heavens- the choice!

i was lucky enough to be very young (maybe even not born ) before this record was released yet still tracked down a sealed original when I started to collect recrods ( before I then sold them again) Was a nice treat opening this after 30 odd years of laying around untouched...one of my children later dropped +scratched it!....sold them ( LP and children) and bought a cd from those nice people at Waters Cracking record and very very different

Wow Fascinating resource. Thanks for sharing it (them ) with us BTW never heard of the Buddy Montgomery thing on Impulse (cover attached I think/hope)

yup yup Had them and they are now 8 and 12 and still testin me out in new and different ways and come home with attitude 'issues' and yes I am still the meanest /strictist man on earth but yes I do (like Kevin) get the 'you children are so well behaved. The potty stuff will seem to last months ( it will be probably be days or weeks), the temper stuff you can manage with consequence type treatment....as suggested further up. The issue is about control...usually them finding how they can control you and you finding how much you need to control them. As for nice things...forget em....hide em, store em away.....we had nothing vaguely 'nice' under four foot for years.......still got my speaker covers on 'just in case' they get fingers inserted into woofers etc Have fun. Remember the real embarassing things ....they are sooooooooooo nice to remind them about later....ie you used to stamp your feet like that with potty training....its lovely the venom that comes into their eyes.

its worth getting hold of if you can. there isn't enough of this collaboration around from this era in my opinion

Its this one I think. Think I saw it, sampled it feelin really excited and left it in the pile. BUt I have done that to many many records and cds

I must admit . I like this sort of stuff right down to the replica logos and all...it represents an era...nice and well done AND a stonkin compilation too!

yup part of his select box set
