Because then the mystery would be gone.

Don't usually use headphones or other such things, but on the rare occasion I do, the hearing aids come out. A conflict of interest, so to speak. I do leave them in for household listening though, and they do help there. They also help with live music. The EQ flexibility helps, as do (adjustable) presets used to filter out background noise.

Normally, 7.5 ips tapes would not excite me, but in this case, if they're really (almost) virgin, them yes, I am interested!

John Hardee was a tenor player, but there was indeed a Captain/Cap'n John Handy who played alto,

It is.

Yeah, the film composer John Williams went by John Towner for a while: http://www.jw-collection.de/early/touch.htm

There was a John Williams who also named John Towner somehow.

Which one was John Towner?

Doing my homework, it seems that Laine had quite an impact on White Pop as the transition began into a more rhythmically emphatic and more emotionally infected style. And the thing about the "race records" and people assuming he was Black seems absurd until you hear the Atlas records (and where are they today anyway?). This would have been lost on me, since I only knew Laine as a big-lunged belter of Rawhide type stuff. But the history is there, in print and on record. History has kind of faded, it seems. It's not a narrative at all these days, much less a popular narrative Listening again to the record with Clayton, Laine swings just fine in a pre-bop kind of way. And Frankie Laine was swinging, genuinely swinging, comfortably swinging, some years before Sinatra got it going like that. So I'm like, who knew? Not me. But there it is, hidden by time and narrative though it may be. Narrative is not history.

Before he got signed by Mich Miller and Mercury, he sang at Billy Berg's, and his records were popular in the "Race"market.

Time waits for no man.

Timeless music!

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Include the announcements!!!!

What time is it?

Those artworks never bothered me that much. They were just there. 32 Jazz was never a high-budget enterprise, so what was on the outside never really concerned me. But the LT Series they weren't, that's for sure.

Live, probably not too many mikes, perfectly balanced, and swinging like fuck. And that Paul Weston chart is WAY better than it had to be. ❤️

Tony Bennett vomited. Frankie Laine said fuck it, I can sing this shit too. It's more nuanced than that, but..is it?

Wow.

32 Jazz got started on it

I like 'em all!!!

And the two Live at Boomer's records!

Are the tinny at all?
