No ideas, but I saw the thread title and thought it was about looking at Facebook on a Palm, which would be substantially less interesting a topic... No suggestions, (don't know the tunes, never really got the Metallica bug (but my son sure did, so I know the basic vibe, but that's about it) but one of my "stock" approaches to challenges like this is to deconstruct the melody & then set about putting it back together with different phrase displacements, etc. If it's no longer immediately recognizable, so much the better - sometimes. Then, once you have a melody that is divorced from the original context, you can treat it as something "original" and go from there. Then, if you want to make it more recognizable, you can tweak it back as much or as little as you want/need to. Depends on where you want to go, who you want to go there with, and why you're going there in the first place. That's one way to do it, just one. Take it for waht it's worth, and hopefully you'll find your own way, all the way. Good luck!

At list prices of $3.98 & $4.98, you'd have had a damn good chance to, eventually.... Chuck, I was aware of the 67-68 purge, but wasn't there another one a few years after as well?

Dude...in most of Plano you could maybe get in under those circumstances, but getting out with some loot without calling attention to yourself would be pretty hard...this is a community very much built with the suburban "grid" style. Alleys behind every house, not a big lot of space between houses...if you're looking (and I assume that some cops will be looking and not just hanging out), you can pretty much see everything that goes on outside of the fences, including breaking in or leaving.

I thought that was all Paul. No? One each, George, John, Paul. Forgetting the order. Wow...for years that tune was hyped as an all-McCartney solo effort. When did this new info come out?

FWIW, I used to have a Schwann catalog from somewhere in 1970 or 71 that was chock full of Liberty/Blue Note/Pacific Jazz/Etc titles that were "black diamond-ed" (i.s. -being placed OOP), so my assumption would be that they had been in print before that. Thing is, There were also titles that weren't even present in that catalog, so some had gone OOP before that. But something big happened at the turn of decade (TransAmerica/UA takeover, maybe?) that led to a really, really big catalog purge. So for an album like Delightful-Lee, that was about a 3-5 year run in print. If I still have that catalog, I don't know where it would be. But I do know that when I started "collecting" jazz records in genral and BN in particular, it was an invaluable resource as to what there was to be found that I otherwise knew nothing about.

So...you're gonna be hangin' outside on the street, it's not dark yet, there's gonna be cops everywhere, and you need to lock your doors? In Plano? Where the cops keep replacing squad cars with SUVs so they can write you your speeding tickets for doing 50 in a 45 in luxurious splendor? You need to lock your doors? That's just nuts.

Nice to see all the '60s recommendations here...there was a time when "everybody" was asleep on that stuff... You kids today don't understand how much the "CD reissue boom" has changed the landscape as far as "general understanding" of the music goes. Positively and otherwise.

I thought that was all Paul. No?

For the smells.

Way Out West & Falling In Love With Jazz.

Went for the Pearson to get the Christmas LP & the I Don't Care...stuff...looking forward to hearing clean CD sound on the rest of it after decades of used LPs...the version of "Stormy" w/Airto & Flora was an AM jazz radio staple her back in the day, totally cool today too. Also went for the Amy to atone for my sins...that's a really, really good set, if anybody's still on the fence about. Carpe diem!

I bought an import LP in the 70s just to have that runoff mess...if you didn't have an automatic turntable it would go on forever!

Anybody heard Mel Brown's Fifth, also on impulse!, and also with at least some involvement by Mr. Szymczyk, and also kinda "untypical" for the artist in question, although far less so than AF?

Well, that's no reason not to talk to him...

Yeah, that voice of his is a truly grand instrument...I just worked my way through a big bunch of his Capitol albums in search of some "lost gems" at the level of the Webb things...found a few good 'uns, but none at that level (and considering the time and the place, that is a colossal waste, imo, this guy could've routinely gone places musically that few pop singers could have, but...oh well...thank god for the Jimmy Webb of that time and place), but the one thing that jumped out from even the dreckiest dreck was that voice...crystal clear, true of pitch, and, not unlike Wilson's own, "white" in the positive sense of not trying to be something it's not but not numbing itself either.

Here's one I didn't know about - "Perfidia":

Paul Bley & Cecil Taylor. Charles Tyler.

You mean this one? You mean this one? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Ml_Yj8KBM7A/SOyV...0/MR%2B5012.jpg (since the image doesn't show)

Shouldn't that be "Former World's Oldest Person"? (good to see yoa' Tony, how's it been going?)
