Don't end the journey w/o getting the two live Solid State records. After that, follow your heart, ears, whatever you use. But do get those if you like this.

Yeah, pricey. Not looking for pricey right now. I mean, really, they got them big as legit maxo-boxes for tree-fitty, just sayinggggg.....At those prices, right now, that's a dabble. From what I heard, a little dabble won't du ya',

I want a HSQ Mosaic. Hell, start a subsidiary, call it Mosaique Classique or some shit, whatever. It's all still EMI, right? Oh wait, they sold all that shit, didn't they. Damn. Ok, that's complicated. Business is complicated. Folks just be folks.

Wherever the credit deserves to be, there is credit to be given, I should think. That Schubert is freaking frollicking! And of course, an idea/interpretation is only as effective as its execution. Whatever ideas Aller may or may not have given, they did not seem to be foreign to anybody's gut instincts. OTOH, Hollywood.

Whoa, really good band, gotta find their Beethoven Late Quartets set at a decent price. intersting to think of these guys playing film scores and pop records and then all going to Schoenberg's house to play his piece for him in hopes of getting him to write liner notes and then basically telling him to quit bitching, don't interrupt, shut up and let them play and then decide. Which he apparently agrees to do and then says, perfect, all good, you'll get you liner notes on Monday. And then, Eleanor Slatkin talking about how enjoyable it was to make Close To You with Sinatra because he knew what he wanted and was so musical about it, the impression is that this was a group that had an enthusiasm for making music in general and a passion for making great music wherever it was. And with daily schedules that were probably more than occasionally filled with commoness, instead of getting beat down by it, it apparently gave them the juice to go to Schoenberg'shouse and kick his ass with his own music. To use a much overused word in its more original sense, that is pretty damn awesome. And the Schubert just rocks. While simultaneously being quite nuanced. Delightful. Hollywood! String Quartet! Hellagood!

Those are the people. Do they control any of the music?

Found my DL of the Clea Bradford date today, and...seems that I recall Ms. Bradford being from St. Louis, so, sure, Nelson and Clark Terry, why not, but their contribution are so minimal that never mind why not, WHY? That + to my ears, the singing sounds like a sincere collection of all the mannerism I don't like of singers I do like, without anything additional added. All is not lost, though. Patti Bown, both in solo and accompaniment, keeps throwing out all these Cole/Garner-ish tidbits that would not be out of place on some 78 from 15-20 years earlier. Kind of a treat, that is, and if not a treat, at least incentive to listen to the record all the way through once.

Is that your beat-up original now on sale at DG?

Who are you, and what have you done with The Red Menace? Hawken, actually, like the rifle. The subdivision was originally named "Hunter's Glen". I learned more about firearms history just taking my kids to birthday parties than I had before or after. My uncle Vrnon, though, he knew all that shit when he came to visit. I was impressed, actually. And if anybody thinks about using this information to show up for an unwelcome surprise visit, hey, keep all that in mind, ok?

Well shit. That guy ran deep, and never obviously so. RIP, here's another chance to dance your way out of your constrictions. Much love.

Condition is listed as Very Good (with no +). In my experience with DG, the absence of that + coupled with the desirability of the item suggests that it's liable to be an artifact more than a listening record. And the cover will have tape and a split seam on the cover, it says so, and believe me, if they say that, they mean it. Still, turn down the treble, pump up the volume, and hey, party like it's 1969, in every way possible (including taping a quarter to the tone arm if you have to, to stop the skips). And enjoy having a full size, real-life copy of a great record for about 15 bucks. Not everybody will get that. Not even everybody who wants to will get that. If that's the worst thing that happens to you, hey, damn good day, imo!

There are still peripheral options, including Tyrone Davis (not a bad option, either): https://www.dustygroove.com/browse.php?kwfilter=Tyrone+Washington&incl_oos=1&incl_cs=1&format=all

It should be!
