The pianoless format is what really made it unique for me.

And Joe totally knew it. But he did it anyway.

Some people like the notion of being an all-around entertainer.

CDs weren't even a product when those Trip LPs came out. Trip LPs gave you a good 10 or more years of lead time to listen to those great records. Don't feel bad about missing the Mosaic....more than half of my current Mosaic holdings were bought on the after-market. I too was having to put money into the family and missed a LOT of the good stuff. But time has been good (enough) to me and my patience has been rewarded.

Being into Hendrix, later Trane, Ayler, & Shepp made sense to me in ways that Grand Funk Railroad did not even begin to.

Here's the original, on Sittin' In Wth: Jazz Selection was a French label. Go figure. Paul Quinichette did not write "You Belong To Me", that's a straight-up pop song that was properly credited by Shad! Paul Quinichette Quintet - You Belong to Me - YouTube We've all heard that one...Jo Stafford, was it? Somebody had a hit with it...

Ok, the overtly political clip has been removed. Keep it between the lines, folks.

Between the US LP, the UK LP, the original CD, the Mono CD, and most importantly, the Purple Chick stuff, I think I'm good here. Great album, just that I'm done with it in terms of looking for anything new out of it. The real revelation if you haven't yet heard it is "Tomoorow Never Knows" Remix 11...that might blow your mind, as the kids used to say.

Grand Funk Railroad was what turned me off on "rock" once and for all, in the spring of 1970. Just so godawful HORRIBLE. I spent the summer buying Mothers records and then had jazz presented to me within the first week or two of high school, in band. There was a clique, actually, long story. But that sealed the deal for me. All the fun was gone from rock, it now turned into something else...so much vanity over nothing, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. There were exceptions, of course, but...who cared, really? I got Transition while still 14, and, you know, all that loud cocknoise seemed kind of a fool's game, then and now.

Those were totally done by Charles Stepney, so... Probably not.

King Oliver wrote Birdland Jump? Does that DCC side credit 5he original label or at least producer anywhere, or is it just hey, look what we found!?!?!

What GFR album is NOT horrible?

Some of that Max stuff barely had a release to begin with. And with very few exceptions, Emarcy/Mercury had dried up a long time ago. So yeah, MUCH better than nothing!!!!

They're on Bandcamp and have the download of the "equivalent" for India that is pretty mind-boggling.

I doubt that Shad wrote any of those, to be honest.

As a group, Cowboys fans have been douchey since about 1965 or so. Not quite as long as the org itself, but close. I'm olde enough to know. Didn't take too long to turn me into an Oilers fan! And no, not exclusive to Red Sox fans, but during the years I was going, it was a coordinated invasion, documented on various social media, planned. It wasn't a few fans, it was a convention of...shittery. It's one thing to act like that in your own group, it's quite another to just move into seats you didn't buy and start acting like that in the middle of families who had been there all game long No excuses for that

People scoff at Trip today, but at the time, they were a godsend!

Cool, thanks! Now I can back it up with something other than the proverbial "some guy on the internet" citation, lol! I still wonder who Ellen was

And yet audiences responded. Me, I lost interest and never really got it back. It's like he was trying to have it both ways, rock star and serious composer, but wasn't comfortable with the dichotomy. Oh well.

Ordered? Worth it, if so!

I've no doubt that there are a lot of decent Red Sox fans who understand, respect, and follow the generally agreed-upon principles of public decency in the presence of a family audience. Those fans do not seem to be the ones who travelled to Rangers games.

As opposed to the Red Sox fans who have travelled to Rangers games in impressive numbers and acted like total dicks, especially after a few beers too many, which was, like, the 3rd inning or so. I mean, I'm not supporting the Rangers right now, for more than one reason, but if and when I resume, I will NEVER AGAIN go to see them play the Red Sox. I'll even go watch the Yankees (whose fans are every bit as obnoxious, but in nowhere near the number). And I used to like the Red Sox. But you know, when you have to leave a game because drunken louts move into seats they didn't buy and start behaving in a manner that has never been acceptable any place other than a backroom bareknuckle fight to the death or something like that...just totally odious, cretinous, uncivilized, sub-human behavior without any sense of surroundings...yes, there were kids there, one of them mine. I can still like the Red Sox, but only as long as there's not live fans involved.

Figured as much, do you have an actual source for that? Who was "Ellen"?

wow, thanks
