  1. Wondering if that particular cutout sticker/price indicates that it came from a particular source...I got a lot of records for that price around that time, as well as some for a little more, but none more than $2.99...including the two Joe Harriot Jazzland sides. Mind-boggling from today's perspective. But that big round orange 59 cent sticker, that one imprinted, for sure.
  2. Maverick, Rockfish, Polaroid, Victor/Victoria, he was one of those guys who was there when I got here, just figured he'd always be there. RIP, and thanks for a large body of very enjoyable work.
  3. A separate thread for later RCA back covers should be considered! but OMG i swear that this is the same cutout sticker that mine had when I got it in 1971(?)
  4. Got some phone recordings I'd like to convert to MP3. There's more than a few listed, but I'm wary of malware/adware/etc. Anybody have any experience with some good ones that don't bring the baggage? I'd prefer one on my PC, but I guess on on the phone (Android) would work. The main thing is to get them converted to a shareable format.
  5. Same here.Sounds like they miked the amp almost exclusively, although at 2:32, you get the bass itself. The low note that got away!
  6. I'll keep an eye open for that, thanks!

  8. Did anybody else receive this set with additional caseless CDs wrapped in bubble wrap for packaging padding? The sent me Journey by Paul Austerwitz, and something by Third Eye Orchestra. Nothing but naked discs and bubble wrap. The Third Eye thing, hell, I'd have paid money for it if I was looking for it. Really really good stuff. Don't know why they're giving it away, but, ok, do that then, go right on ahead. The CMS thing is just dandy, especially, for me, the Orchestral disc, especially the Oliver Lake material. This is an aspect of his with which I was not familiar, has he recorded any of his works for larger ensemble before? The examples here really grabbed my ear!

  11. What's the sense in waking up dead? What are you gonna do then, be dead some more? I'm getting buried in the morning, (DING-dong) so get me to the morgue on time? Talk about a waste of energy, JEESH!
  12. I'll always be grateful for Hard Again. Of all the things that could have happened with all of that (and didn't), hey, well done.
  13. Yeah, "Locomotion" - and it sounds like it could've been a Hank tune from The Flip too. And believe me - Slide Hampton has a cult following of sorts amongst both trombonists and jazz educators. I don't mean that he's appreciated, I mean, they dig him in ways that civilian jazz fans might not comprehend. Considering the overlap between trombonists and jazz educators, there's your coincidental vortex of likelihood emerging from the horizon, right there before your eyes. Slide got peeps, and deservedly so, imo. Now, many of us have heard Blue Train about all we really "need" to, but maybe not so The Flip and A Day In Copenhagen. For those of which this can be truly said, let the needful be kindly done.
  14. I'm confused...who's in the boat?
  15. There's a great version of "In The Heat Of The Night" with McGriff on The Dudes Doin' Business on Capitol. The rest of that record...not so much.

  17. Ok, fantasy wish - Mosaic gets, culls, and releases Paul Bley's private tapes, everybody makes money, and there comes world peace. In that order.
  18. and the aging classic rock audience! THERE ya' go!

  20. Geez Shawn, I knew you when you weren't yet a member of the aging jazz audience!
  21. There will always be some commercial that thinks it needs "Raindrops"...
  22. It's the pink one, right? I've had it for years, and agree it sounds great, natural. I figured it was mono, actually. But on the inside jacket, after the liner notes, in fine-ish print, it says "Electronically re-recorded to simulate stereo". Mine's a radio station promo copy, KG 33341. And the white promo labels all say "Stereo" Maybe there was an actual mono issue? Or maybe they just lied about it because it was 1975 and they figured that real mono would turn people off. The only place I see any mention of that re-recorded business is that one spot at the end of the liner notes. No matter, somebody should buy this. It's a really, really good collection of Ellingtonia, and with "The Clothed Woman" & "New York Blues" leading it off, a pretty damn important one. Definitely a transition period for Ellington, the shift from Greer to Bellson, and from Hodges to Smith occurs right in the middle of Side 3, and, yeah, it's sudden, to put it mildly. But even the "curiosities" like "Joog Joog" are quirky in the way that Ellington's lesser works often were. And oh yeah, You also get "Snibor" and "Monologue". And the original "Jam With Sam".
