More Dex is always a great event. I must have skipped that in those liners. I have only about half of his Prestige work so bring it on :rsmile:

John, thanks. I do remember now the discussion. I'll go back and look at it.

Here's another dumb question, unrelated, but how the heck do you animate covers and what software would I need?

Jim, Thanks for answering all those questions. It's hard to fathom why certain things are done certain ways but that web site you posted of blue note and other label releases is a treasure trove of information. I'm going to have print that out and save it.

Thomas, I had no intention to insult (esp. since I only asked for the cd very late and I appreciate your getting it to me) and if I did, my apologies. I'm sure that when I get my turn there will be a lot of things that you or others may not find appealing. Aside from Donna Lee, I'd have to say I dug The Water Bearer, Fly By Night and I'm Confessin' That I Love You. Our tastes are a little different (I'm more grounded in the late 40s, 50's and 60s) but it's a big tent. Thank you again.

I only got around to listening to this just in the last two days and while I found the Donna Lee version to be different as a whole I'd have say that most of the songs (although I always appreciate the effort in putting this together; it's easy to criticize when you're not doing it) weren't that interesting to me.

I don't see the big deal frankly or having ads on uniforms. I happen to be a football (soccer to America ) fan and this has been happening for years. It earns the team money and if it helps to sign a free agent, why the hell not. It's strange to see at first but after awhile you get used to it. What's the difference between this and calling it Petco Park or Bank One Ballpark. At least they don't sell the naming rights in Europe.

Maybe this is in the category of dumb questions but did King originally have the right in Japan to issue the BNs and was that then this passed on to Toshiba. Second question, are some of the covers that have been posted here from that great web site different from how they were issued in the US. And if they were the same, why are the covers different from Japan to the US. For instance, Jim R indicated that Live at the Renaissance Club was issued as Three Blind Mice. Why different covers. Some of these covers are better than the US issue. And great covers do help sell records.

This set is comparable to the Commodores, just because it's the entire output for this label. I think this is one of the best Mosaics. There's not a bad side in this colletion.

Allen, did you ever get this. How does it sound.

This is one kick ass, take no prisoners session, if I can borrow a line that I'm sure Jim S must have used. The organ player is on fire here and this is one of the better Sonny sessions from that time period. It's hard to believe that it's oop. Anyone needing it should check with Hiroshi. This one cries out to be reissued in this country.

I've purchased from them before and their shipping is a little expensive and their service is not the quickest but it's ok. Their site, even if you don't speak french, is not that hard to use because it's just like Amazon US. However, I do know a little french (I took it in high school) and that helps.

This may be a little late but there's a Blue Note history film going on True Channel right now. I have dish network but I don't know what cable systems carry this one.

I'm sure that most of these have been reissued in some form or another (e.g. Street Singer in Jackie's Bag) but what about Blakey's Live at the Renaissance Club? Has that come out as something else?

This group doesn't overly excite me, except for Wilson's Easterly Winds, which I already have and the Larry Young, which I don't. I'm not familar with Horace's US of Mind but it seems that his stuff get issued over other deserving stuff. I mean, what does it take to get a g** d*** Three Sounds cd reissued, for Chriss sake. I have the early BN Sounds stuff but I know there are others who don't who would love it. I'm also all for Booker.

yeah, life goes on. Thanks to you guys, I already put it behind me.

I'm not familiar with most of these sites. Anyway, I prefer cd universe, hands down over amazon. Where's jazz loft? That's a good site, esp. for SteepleChase.

FYI, there's a copy of Night Lights on ebay right now.

Brad, if there Was proof, you'd pay $2400 for a cork and nasty-looking brush? Reminds me of a caption on a display case in a Museum of WWII in Russia. Subjects that belonged to Private Ivanov - a rusty nail with which he charged the German officer and a bullet from his skull. Dude lived large... Nope. Not even with proof. But if I were a collector I wouldn't even consider it without the requisite proof.

Do I get a free sealed JRVG or VICJ for the tip ?

Wasn't someone looking for this a while ago. Great opening price. I'm not the seller. Also saw Rare Tracks: The Other Side of BN 4000. This is a great 4 cd collection, with decent liner notes. At a great price too. Also not the seller.

I once saw Volume 1 (a couple of years ago) at Jazz Record Center for $450. Unfortunately, it was too rich for my blood. But I posted seeing it and I knew it was gone within hours. I've had to settle for the few cd issues available.
