Forces in Motion, yes Arista Mosaic box, yes

There's a big difference in fidelity too.

I'm really only interested in the extra disk. I have the albums on CD.

Big to do on FB about this one. John French unhappy about band members not getting paid anything from box sales. Fans calling for a boycott.

...still an interesting thread.

He may be a bit more fusion than most, but I'm pretty sure John McLaughlin is a jazz guitarist.

Ok then...how about an ELP reunion? {duck for cover}

I finally gave up my Blackberry three months ago. I needed a new phone and the middle cursor key was frozen. If the browser was modern, that would be cool.

Spectrum Road is a great album. I wish I knew what happened to my copy!

They could just close it but leave the archives up. No new posts.

Amen.

I've been hearing him my whole life, since I started listening to the AM radio in the late '60s. Cream was probably still together. I think the first riff I learned on the guitar was Sunshine of Your Love and one of the first albums in my collection was the Heavy Cream comp. He was a busy, melodic bassist and what a singing voice, all quite unique. The only band I actually got to hear was one with Billy Cobham at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ when they were touring the I've Always Wanted To Do This album in December '80. A sad day for music, RIP Jack.

His web site announcing his death: RIP, what an amazing talent.
