Any number of portions from Herbie's "Rain Dance"...but I've already got the original Monitor Beacon on there, so it would be a lateral move.

Still trying to "get it", still not able. Everything's just notched up too high relevant to its weight. Some people try too hard, ya' know?

What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% the speed of light? http://what-if.xkcd.com/1/

Let's run that and see..

I have it on the Columbia LP Summit Sessions.

You're not in any hurry to pack those sucker, are you.

I have most all of it, and will buy this packaging as my patriotic duty...but what I really want is a Mosaic-ish complete collection of the 1964 European tour. That would be beating the bootleggers!

Those glass insulators(?) might be worth some bucks.

Will I be hunted down like a wounded animal by the Trane Police? :g I mean, seriously...there are some fanatics out there who will tell you in all seriousness that Alice didn't know changes - any changes - and that she was just playing random noise behind Trane. Alice McLeod does not exist in this world, and it is surprisingly well-populated by people who should know better (I'm talking, like, really good musicians whose ears just clinch up like an alumized sphincter once McCoy's gone...they got no problem w/Rahsied, mostly, it's just Alice..yeah, the Yoko thing, I think it is, lotsa weirdass gynophobia in that world...), and they get pretty worked up about it.. Alice did play different chords than McCoy, but hell - Trane was working with different harmonic structures his ownself, so...people need to stop looking for temptress-based excuses and start looking at the music itself.

John Coltrane was a grown-ass man. Some people are still looking for reasons to explain away where he went in the last year or so of his life and the whys of why he went there instead of dealing with it in straight-up musical/mathematical/metaphysical terms. Blame the Panthers! Blame the acid! Blame Alice! No, don't blame anything. Just follow the music. It works, although not always. But it gets there, and when it does, hey, there it is. Deal with it or don't, but don't try to wish it away as a "mistake" or any other kind of "wrong". You can't. When it works, that shit makes perfect sense.

I've found it to be very provocative over the years. Wilson Pickett & Solomon Burke: Bill Haley: Text:

My copy has the Fantasy cover, but the LPs have Charles Mingus Presents labels. And nobody signed anything. How's that for nobody's child?

Phil Spector. The small little wimpy Jewish kid who would make it Bigger And Stronger Than Anything And Anybody. At least for a while. Three views of Elvis: And one of Dr. John: Beach Boys: California Girls: Brian Wilson:

Fantasy. They're all fantasies one way or the other, yet fantasies that play to the popular mythology in some form or fashion by being more or less "true" if not necessarily "accurate"..

Can't wait to hear Ella's version of "Driva Man" for an A-B comparison.
