You got a link for that, please? All I can get is for mp3 & vinyl...🤔

Sandy Graham!!!

Then forget about it being in this series.

Was that a Fields or a Schlitten?

It should be a nice supplement to the Emerald records.

Dee was my favorite. RIP

Maybe. How many more times am I going to listen to any real number of them again? I will look at that record infinitely more times than I will ever listen to it. Now THAT'S a good call!

I got most of it already, in some form or fashion. All that I want, anyway. Most all of it anyway.

Yeah, that's just silly. I am hoping that Amazon will get it for less than that. But right now they're only taking orders for download/streaming.

When will the CD be available for pre-order?

Not in my world.

The Hindemith Quartets are a gas! Especially listened to in order. The basic premises don't change so much, but the fleshing out of them REALLY does. These are not really a "celebrated" body of work, and I kinda get it. There was enough going on at the time (and after) that these can maybe have gotten lost in the shuffle. But enough time has passed, a lot of dust has settled, and here these things still are, none the worse for wear, still looking us dead in the eye and not blinking. Maybe the really "heavy" stop doesn't become fully engaged until #4, but, really, with the possible exception of #1, they all areat the very least, engaging, and eventually engrossing. Check them out, by the JSQ or by anybody. School starts for my granddaughter tomorrow, so that means it's the end of summer, and also the end of Summer With The Juilliard String Quartet. It has been a total blast. Once I got started, this was pretty much all I listened to, and to be honest, I'm not in any big hurry to stop. Onward!

RIP. She lived the life.

In theory, labor always need representation. It's human nature to look for free stuff, or close to it. But it's also a human need to get a fair price in return for one's labor. I would think that a law standardizing a minimum royalty rate would take care of that. Of course, the devil is in the details....

Then that sounds like a good thing to me!

And the artist would need to be a member of that organization to reap the benefit? One would hope so, yes?

In a perfect world all those Tito Rodriguez TV shows would be collated and put in a deluxe box set (if they exist to that extent). There's some gold there. .

They need a union/guild/whatever. Then there can be a standard contract dealing with after-market considerations.

How does an artist become eligible to be covered by this law?

I am following MLB daily, if not watching with any regularity. Yet. Brewers are making me happy though!

Remember how The Rhythm & Blues Foundation mounted legal actions that resulted in some of the 50s greats getting paid respectable amounts for unpaid back royalties? But it seems like that would be apples and pears to compare crooked record companies and bad faith contracts to shrewd art buyers/investors, no? Unless, again, there was something in the original terms of sale. Maybe those guys need a union.

Maybe...but royalties are usually part of a contract or else are retroactively awarded via lawsuit. Was this a class action lawsuit, or just one artist, or what, exactly? Who does it impact going forth?
