I remember one of the original parodies of Downfall, the Giants beating the Pats in the Super Bowl. It was pretty funny.

I think I have some Jeff Beck with Rod Stewart on it. Thanks.

I could never get into him. I will have to try again.

Thanks. Glad to help. I will ship on Monday.

Correct but Princeton Record Exchange seals them so you can’t look inside. I think they do that with all or most of the box sets they have and they have a lot of boxed sets, not just jazz. Single CDs and vinyl (not referring to Mosaics) can be inspected.

A long wait indeed. I’m pretty sure you will never see it at that price. It was complete and although the box was sealed, I’m sure it was in mint condition. I’ve purchased a sealed box from them (as well as other cds) and the discs were mint. They check everything they buy closely.

Probably but it was pretty crowded and people were buying records by the bags. In fact, when I called asking if they had a certain record, they asked where I was calling from. I assume that if it wasn’t from the upper east coast, they wouldn’t have answered the question.

Pretty sure it was cd.

Yesterday I went to Princeton Record Exchange, which was pretty crowded. Anyway, they have quite a few Mosaic, both the big box and Selects and the prices were very low. No new news there but still kind of shocking. The Tolliver (which I picked up for Justin) was $29; you can’t find it for less than $85 on Discogs. They had a Maynard Ferguson; only $299; cheapest I’ve ever seen it. You can’t buy it on Discogs or eBay for less than $450. And on and on. Even the recent Teddy Wilson was heavily discounted. Admittedly, Princeton Record Exchange wants to move merchandise, but still.

I just purchased Mobile Fidelity sleeves from Sleeve City as I’m running out of the poly-lined ones I presently have.

Great idea.

An error. They obviously meant remastered.

Baker thought they were playing jazz and I seem to recall — but could be wrong — that he tried to hide that from Clapton. But when you go to the record store, everything has their own section.

I think there are quite a few participants in the thread as John noted. What I mean by “lost” is that because the number of participants is not as many as in the main jazz thread — which is how it should be since this is a jazz forum — people might miss the rock posts. If you miss a day looking at what people listening to, you’re likely to have catch up on several pages.

I like the idea of separate threads, allows for a bit more concentrated discussion, when that’s warranted. Otherwise, if we just had one big listening thread, it might get lost.

“Arcane” More info from the arcane section, e.g., listening to Non jazz, non classical section: Article in RS about the Cream set. Cream Collect Four Complete Concerts for ‘Goodbye Tour Live 1968’ Box Set “The four-CD set, out February 7th, 2020 and available to preorder now, features the three of band’s October 1968 California concerts – Oakland, Los Angeles and San Diego – as well as Cream’s November 26th, 1968 farewell gig from London’s Royal Albert Hall. Of the box set’s 36 tracks, 29 were previously available on CD, with 19 of those unreleased entirely. .... Goodbye Tour Live 1968 marks the first authorized release of the four concerts – all freshly mastered from the original tapes – as well as the first CD release of the Royal Albert Hall gig, which was previously only available on DVD. The set also features liner notes penned by David Fricke.” You can never have too many live versions of Sunshine of Your Love! By the way, import CDs has this for $50 and Bullmoose a little higher at $53.

I also thought in 69 but ran across an article celebrating the 50th anniversary in 2018. Melba Moore was in it too. A couple of articles. ‘Hair’ 50 Years Later: Readers Tell Us When They Let the Sunshine In When the Sun Shone In: Remembering Hair at 50

Steve Cohen is increasing his percentage of ownership and has the right to purchase up to 80% of the team. The Wilpons will stay on for five years. We’d be happier if they left tomorrow. Maybe now the Mets will spend some serious cash.

I went to the original play; it was a high school graduation present from my parents. I was looking at the back of the album and it says Diane Keaton was in it. Must have been an early role.

Absurd for a decent pitcher but not one who has pitched consistently over the course of the past two seasons. Cole and Strasburg must be salivating at what they will get.
