What was an average production run of the Blue Note Lps?
andybleaden replied to Dmitry's topic in The Vinyl Frontier
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 -

Thing is .....it sounded better after -
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.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4748292.stm Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal. The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders. They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi. "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said. Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat. "When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up". Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case. "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

Wonderful J.D. Salinger site
andybleaden replied to ghost of miles's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
from this site http://www.salinger.org and its FAQ page Is he still alive? Salinger is still alive and living what some have called a "reclusive" life. He has been seen and surreptitiously photographed for Time and People magazines, among others. He lives in the same house he bought back in 1953 in Cornish, New Hampshire. We are loathe to include that bit of information here, lest people go to bother him there, but the town has become so associated with him, and his residence there so publicized, that not including it would be a disservice. -
dunno but its 2.54 long
