Not complicated. Aubrey Mayhew stuck his imprint on a bootleg. It's a truth that is self-evident. Like Collectables gives a fuck. Their earliest days were full of all kinds of questionable R&B/Doo Wop releases. Very ground-level street commerce. Then they went legit, but although you can take the boy out of the country, you can't take the country out of the boy. Again, not complicated.

Indeed - great. And this is a great loss, a voice stilled.

Mostly? What the rest? Just curious.

Yeah, sometimes I watch TV in the den, sometimes in the bedroom, and sometimes not at all. I like having options.

I like how with all those reel players you can make your own remixes of "Tommorow Never Knows" at will and on demand!

Some of this stuff points towards Blood Ulmer's more "rootsy" excursions, some towards other things yet to come. I get that it was a "commercial calculation", and a few moments sound tacked on gratuitously, but....damn, so be it. It happened, and you can't unhappen it. Sorry, Mr. Wolf. It's a damn good record.

I can understand why Howlin' Wolf didn't like it. I find myself liking it a quite a bit of very much.

I don't think Miles hated it, or if he ever did, not once Trane got fully tracked in. Miles could hear what was going on, and I'm sure felt tht losing Trane meant losing his front row seat to what was going on. Truthfully, I don't think he found a similar kick in his own band for his own head until Wayne came on board. George Coleman was fine, but he wasn't Wayne. For all the ican-talk and anti-icon-talk around Miles, never did he lose a very keen ear for things outside himself, nor an overriding desire to have a band, not just a jam group.

Ron Washington, excuse me.

Ron Jefferson.

What this really illuminates for me is knowing that Miles had to (literally?) beg Trane to come on that European tour with him, this is the most vivid example I've hear as to why that was and why he really did not want to go. He was ready. this is the first "prelude to Paris" that I've hear.

#2....doesn't really sound like Sal Nistico, except on the bridge...later Nistico, but not really...

I used to like "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" until I heard Louis Jordan and realized that another song had the same name and I liked it a lot better. Oh well!

Doesn't mean they still don't want us lured into a false sense of security...I can smell treachery and deceit from 500 miles away, and some of this stuff ain't even a foot and a half away.

I've not yet formed a real opinion about Ventura, very mixed. Sometimes I hear some really fine manipulations of the horn that put me in mind of Lockjaw, andsome good playing, period. But sometimes I just hear silliness, triteness, and borderline buffoonery. So maybe that is my real opinion?

These "----- for the first time" video tropes are all over YouTube, especially with young people hearing some kind of Boomer Music for the first time and always going gaga and finding deep spiritual meaning. There's enough of them that take identical form and shape that it sure seems like they're "product" more than "reaction". Personally, I think it's all propaganda designed to hide the fact that we're in the way and they all want us dead. I know if I was them, I would. I also know that if I wanted to trick 'em out, nothing would do it better than be hearing some 70s song "for the first time" and faking awe at how much of a message it had. Beware the obsequious ones, they're always the ones who have the knives handy.

maybe stop off for a coffee on the way.

Looks like he outlived Helen Reddy, sure wasn't expecting that!

Really, REALLY liking the rhythm section on 13, and I think that's electric bass? It works, wonderful touch and flow, it purrs right along with an undercurrent of neon darkness.

What do they do with those clothes after they take the pictures?

I did wa5tch it and have to wonder, is all that red hair really THAT red? On the women, anyway, it's upsetting me in ways that I'm afraid that I DO understand...
