Same here.

I have a few of them and have had no sonic issues but $40 or so is more than I want to spend if I have the cd equivalent As others have mentioned it’s a personal choice. Other companies have theirs priced around the same so it’s the industry standard. Rhino is issuing an audiophile of Coltrane’s Sound at the same price.

King Power, while significant, was never the size of the “Kings of Araby” that own Man City. I only hope the Premier League make the charges stick.

It’s incredible to think that Leicester was only champion a few short years ago. That championship was once in a lifetime thing. With the money presently awash in football, a small team winning a title is inconceivable.

White House Plumbers. Another show that will be unfortunately ending next week.

Well, we did.

Everyone is free to post an opinion but making the same point over and over serves no purpose. Once you make your point there is no need to constantly repeat it.

That gets to the heart of this thread. You don’t like what Mosaic is issuing so you’re going to complain. That’s in a nutshell. Other companies are out there doing things that probably appeal to you, such as the Dorothy Ashby set (which you noted). A company — any company — can’t be all things to all people. That’s why we buy things from different merchants. To paraphrase a line from Hemingway’s Hills Like White Elephants, would you please please please please please please please stop.

Succession. It will be a shame when it’s over.

Condolences Kevin. As we get older we all have to be careful that we maintain our balance.

Disc 3.

Just finished the sequel to Olive Kitteridge. These two books are some of the most rewarding reading experiences I’ve had lately.

I can’t believe this silly thread is still going on.

I subscribe to JazzWax, Lewis Porter and Mosaic. On YouTube, nothing really. I look at Jazz Video Guy, Blue Note and Jazz Bums occasionally.

A year or so ago I asked about LPs and they said they’re not returning to that format, principally for the reason Lon mentioned.

If almost nobody is buying CDs, why did the first run of the JATP sell out. If Mosaic were to do a Shirley Scott set, I’m sure it would do just fine. Mosaic is doing fine; they are regularly issuing sets, maybe not as much as before, but they are still issuing them. I don’t get it either but it seems to be a popular thing to do and not just here. 👍

Amen.

I haven’t done a whole lot of reading on the Pacific Theatre as I always found the European front more fascinating but Ronald Spector’s Eagle Against the Sun is very good. He has a new one out called A Continent Erupts about the post 1945 period in Asia that is supposed to be excellent. There have been some studies done about the PTSD that CW veterans suffered but can’t remember the books.

He died today in a Toronto hospital. He was 84. One of the greats. Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian Folk Singer, Dies at 84 RIP
