Why is it called Fishtown?

Actually, if it's a good price.. That Ohio State band was a Ladd McIntosh joint, and I am curious about him. But $4.99 is as high as I want to get. It was in the Longview Treasure City cutout bins forever, and even in 1970-1974, that Joe DeVito guy on the cover was just not working for me. Nor were the other two pictures. But on the inside, I see this!!! Liner notes by Stanley Dance as well, in which he favorably compares a Ladd McIntosh chart to Duke Ellington. Go figure.

No money from me until this gets reissued along with the mysterious Vol. 2:

Pretty much, yeah. And also served ice cold when dren drenched in an honest 90+-degree afternoon sweat. I used to do our own yardwork, and I used to play around with a lot of different kinds of "fancy" beers. But nothing - nothing - worked better after a good hot sweaty lawn mow than Rolling Rock. And when it was really hot, like 95+, two would go down just as easily as one. More than that, hey, that's just drinking beer to be drinking beer. Not exactly a pursuit that requires a discriminative taste... I found it a bit light to stand up to heftier "American" meals, and in colder weather, there's really no point. But if I was to ever resume doing yardwork, I would not do it until I had a 12-pack of Rolling Rock stashed away in the far back of the icebox, where the cold lives to serve humanity at no extra charge.

These later Rollins studio albums have some really...craggy tenor playing, full of jagged quirk and understated vigor (sic). Nobody else could play the instrument or the music like this. Nobody. On this one, Stephen Scott plays the gig knowingly and Bob Cranshaw plays the gig perfectly.

Tandell Sleeve - Roll 'Em Up!!!

Did somebody mention Rolling Rock? The best lawn mowing beer ever!

Dick Stuart...played him in Strat-O-Matic as a kid, we used to call him Slam Bam The Error Man.

All's well that ends well. And that record seems a bit underappreciated, imo. Those arrangements...translucent! Funny, the classic Sinatra/Stordahl run...generally doesn't do too much for me. Technically on-point, but... I'm not the target audience for that type of thing, ever.

At some point I saw some old Caedmon records at that speed.

Dry but respectful.

I thought that the selection of Stordahl was a gesture of thanks (or whatever) by Sinatra. I think he sings nicely (if drily) on that record. Certainly nowhere as grotesquely as the previous two Capitol sessions. I have surprised myself with how often I reach for it. Maybe it's because of the charts.

Pop it into a computer and see if it plays there. If it does, you are gtg fo making a 2-fer Is it possible that the issue lies with the pressing plant, did they maybe not do a code right, or whatever they would have had to do to get an overburn that would automatically be ready? Or is that not how it works? Age of the player alone does not seem to be a factor. One Amazon peep says it won't play in their " brand new" player.. So there, conclusive evidence!!!! What is really fucked here is the notion that apparently there is nobody in the chain of command over there who had a look at 80:02 and said whoa, hold on, this might not work for everybody... I remember when consumer grade turntables still came with a 16 2/3 speed and you could buy phono styli with a flipover to to play 78s. Hardly connoisseur technology, but the point was just to not sell people something they might not be able to use. This was well into the 1970s, and at the time, I had yet to see a 16 2/3 record. But by God if I ever did. I would be able to take it home and play it!

Where does Point Of No Return fit? I thought it was the last Capitol? That one is totally gem, imo. Axel Stordahl in the zone! A few of those last Capitols are pretty jive, imo. Swingin' Session comes readily to mind. Exhibit A for the prosecution.

Or clipped another 2-3 seconds off...

Mercedes Beenz - Full Tank & Empty Soul

Also wondering if the MFT might have been a more complete version (not necessarily fully complete, just more complete) that was shaved for time reasons? Also wondering how many people getting the NO DISC error are aware of the time factor. The first one, that I exchanged, probably didn't have to do that, could have just ripped my own double right away.

Kris Swisser - A Clean Start!!!

Ok, stop it. You started this with a pretty nasty poke at Alan, who then proceeded to shit the bed and then throw it all over the walls I cleaned that up . So now, what, you put him on Ignore but read him anyway and now you want to get pissy about some impotent aftershock? This has no end, you know. Stop it. Control yourself. Don't feed the animals. Yeah, but that wouk take one more cut, maybe two, to flesh it out. And that would upset the vinyl equation

Ricky Shaw - Drivin' Man!!!

Double-tracked Andy Williams!!!!

Now I'm wondering if there was more material that could have made a double CD. That would have jinked up everything economically, but 80:02, seriously?

Sandy Flush - Doin' The Scrub!!! (Recorded Live at The Fume Room)

Yeah, ok then, holding a grudge about holding a grudge, way to keep the water in the mud.

That first Jobim album is gem.
