The bigger point is this - even if LP prices are keeping up with inflation, here I am, retired, having made a "decent" income in my working years (and having spent a LOT of my disposable income or recorded music), I have almost always found better real-life uses for $30.00 than to buy just one LP (or CD, for that matter). So - if the price has kept up with inflation, my appetite has not. And yet, I still have that $30.00, and I will spend it on music. Just not on one LP. There is little to no value there for me. Probably closer to none, actually. I get it - I am not the market here. But I was the first time around, and I bought buttloads of it then. But this is like selling dead music to dead people. Dead people with money. Objection denied!

If you have to ask....find another conversation that is using a vernacular with which you are comfortable. I'm sure there are many!

Yeah, I wasn't counting cutout bins. My local Treasure City had one that was 3 for 99 cents! I think I got that Joe Daley RCA record out of that one. You are correct sir!

I believe so. Muses For Richard Davis, right? And I need $30.00 worth of groceries a helluva lot more than I need a $30.00 record.

That first Richard Davis record is First Ballot Hall Of Fame. And IIRC, there was Muse CD reissue that added a track! Oh, back in the day. $30.00 would have bought me about 5-6 records, not 1.

This one too. Every bit as good, but/just not all tenor.

This is the original cover: Fonts matter.

But in 1972,list price was $3.99-$4.99, and nobody except a sucker or a desperate person paid list.

Thank you! Not sure why nothing took me to that page, just to the Amazon Music page.

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.
