Did not know that, thanks! So, I guess the ultra-rare first few copies that had the alternate mix of "Tomorrow Never Knows" would have been tube cut, right?

What I think I'm hearing from all this is that I can maybe work my way from Willie Bobo's finest hour on Verve to maybe Willie Bobo's finest 90 minutes on Verfve, or maybe even two hours. That sounds like a task I'm willing to undertake leisurely and casually. We all need hobbies, right? Looking like there's maybe an interesting "contrast and compare" to be made with Bobo's Verve work & Mongo's Columbia work of the same time (a lot of which I'ce come across leisurely and casually, that's a good way to go about stuff like this, it seems). Mongo's stuff is more obviously "Latin", but Bobo's stuff seems a little "looser" in both conception and execution, a little more New York street-y/party-ish. I like 'em both in their own ways, but Bobo's stuff seems a little more "organic" in some ways, like he don't mind playing "Come A Little Bit Closer", he's like , whatever, let's just play, whereas Mongo's stuff has a little bit of ok, this is what we're gonna play, let's just do it and do it well, and at some point we can do something else. And yes, the guitar in Bobo's work does give it a defacto "crossover" starting point. Like I said, though I do like them both. Especially enjoy hearing Hubert Laws playing some nastyass soul tenor with Mongo. Really enjoy that.

Took a shot on Willie Bob's Finest Hour and found the contents to fall into three rough categories for me: Kinda cheap covers of pop tunes played with a still-infectious party groove. What's already here is all I'd care to have.Kinda cool covers of pop tunes played with an even more infectious spirit. I'd not mind some more of this, just not big lots of it.Groovin' shit that it don't matter what it is, I'd like lots more of this, nooooo problem.So my question is this - this guy looks like he did 5, 6, 7 or so albums for Verve. How do they collectively play out relative to the above bags (realizing that subjectivity of taste trumps any attempts at categorization in this regard). Another way to ask - if I go ahead and do the entire Verve output, will I end up with more than one of Willie Bobo's finest hours, or is the title of this CD more or less literal? And ok, let's split the difference - are there some that are better than others, and if so, please elaborate. For a rough guide, here's what for me is a Category 2 Bobocane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_ijT82WgOs&feature=fvwrel The degraded YouTube audio doesn't let you get right into the middle of the rhythm section like the actual CD does. I've been walking to this stuff for the last few days with earbuds, and it's real easy to get in there and not want to get out. Here's a Category 3, a slickass Eddie Harris cover with bugalu mojo for days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVcbWBhwKFA I can live with that, ya' know? Another thing I notice is that there is a blatant absence of piano playing the montunos. If/when they get played, it's by guitar. This is standard Bobo practice during these period? It's kinda neat, as the thinner texture of the guitar lets the percussion come more tot the fore. As always, thanks in advance.

Que significa "tube cut"?

We'll see!

A post-reporting click of the mouse away, if you really need to find them.

If a man comes to my neighborhood to go to church naked, and then goes to the Valero to hit his girlfriend's boyfriend and then comes to my house to buy a pack of cigarettes, so long as he's not naked in front of my wife or daughter, I'm just gonna look the other way, even if it is Randy Travis. Why? Because I've had the same courtesy extended to me by lesser men that Randy Travis. A man don't forget shit like that.

This, yes.

Was Lloyd Mayers playing organ or piano on that date, Jim? MG Organ all the way.

Harmless folk-novelty or coded missive to The Revolution? Sold like the former, still sounds to me like the latter. Hmmm...

Any relation to Alvin?

Is Hawk one of those things that wears better when you hear him every day than on and of a few days a year over the decades? I tended to enjoy his eccentricities when it was him & Wimpy on WGN a few times a week, but since then...not my guy, I know. Just wondering if it feels different when it is your guy. Was following the last inning of that game on MLB TV, and after the excitement wore off, I got to thinking like a Tired Old Man and realized that everybody could have saved everybody a lot of energy by just putting the damn game away in the top of the 9th, sparing the drama, and as soon as the game's over, hey, a boring win counts the same as a heart-stopping one. But these kids with all their energy and stuff, you can't tell 'em nothing, ya' know?
