fwiw, that ws not an article, it was a PDF of a promotional brochure that Zildjian published, and up dated, for years. You could send away for one.

A wonderful record, brilliantly recorded, perhaps not so well cared for...but it's one of those LPs where the recoring is so good that the noise becomes unnoticeable once the music starts. (mine's a mono) aka Now, what I did NOT get, sadly, was this Crossroads inner sleeve: What was the accounting idea behind Columbia to Epic over to Supraphon back over to Crossroads? Was this some Cold War money diversion, or just what, exactly?

I already listened to it, yeah, back in the day. Listened to a few of them, actually!

There's an unidentified tenor player on the Oudi Hrant record who sounds to be no stranger to Rudy's room, if you know what I eman. My first impulse ws Herbie Mann, but by the time that record was recorded (1962-63), I don't know... Phil Bodner, maybe?

aka There are no bad Lockjaw records.

I had to get them all, just to make sure I wasn't hearing something that wasn't there. But it sure seems to be there!

A surprisingly nice chamber-jazz with quiet vocals presentation. Group led by Allen Reuss.

Not for Prestige, they couldn't!

You're welcome! Got one on the way for the recent RCA Groovy Songbirds release, which is the same thing only totally different...just need to listen maybe once more to firm up the impressions.

It's essentially a personal preference, based on what you want to do with them and what works best for you to do that. Regarding cymbal set-ups in general, here's a piece of vintage Zildjian-ism: http://www.drumarchive.com/Zildjian/ZildjianSetups60s.pdf They made these things well into the 70s, perhaps beyond.

I guess they had to play something...

That was a really good TV show,.

There's only one song on the Mr. T playlist!

Pretty much, and barely between the lines: Growin' my own/Happy little pot plant time/Daffodils and daisies in their prime/Multiply my supply Growin' my own/In my swingin' nursery/All the little posies pose for me/While I toil in the soil Nobody knows/How my little groovy garden grows/Sweet bees are singling tweedle-dee What a crazy green thumb Tweedle-dum Growin' my own/Digging up some wild legumes/Trying to figure out each sprout that grows While I sod me a pod/While I rig me a sprig/While I twine me a vine Nobody knows/How my little groovy garden grows/Sweet bees are singling tweedle-dee What a crazy green thumb Tweedle-dum While I weed me a seed While I chop me a crop While I grow me a green(?) Growin' my own. Floyd Huddleston, the Accidental Stoner: Legrand Mellon, perhaps not so accidental: Teo Macero, you tell me:

Irving Ilmer plays the shit out of that solo viola piece!

Found this a few Saturdays ago, played it today (15, not a FABULOUS price, but hey, we at lunch at home that day, so the money was there), and BAM, not even 3 minutes in, there's a needle-stick? WTF??? so I find the spot on the record where the stylus is sticking, and sure enough, there's a big ol' visible piece of something. I run my finger over it and can feel it sticking out of the groove, so, you know, fuck the old-school vinyl care regimen, let me see if I can pry this loose with a fingernail. I can't. So, you know, we're already condemned to hell for mortal recordsins, you know, let's just lick a finger, get it moist, and WASH that thing outta there with a bodily fluid. THAT worked, then a little wipeover with a clean dishtowel, and on to the turntable we go, no further issues, except some near-subliminal surface noises that might well have been there when the thing was new. But hey, Josey Records, y'all gonna profile with the prices and shit, you could maybe clean the "collectibles" up just a bit before putting them on the rack, maybe? Ya' think? I think, yeah, I do think. I appreciated Joe Henderson on Side 1, and appreciated the Reggie Lucas effect from start to finish (go back to Get Up With It and check out "Mtume" and imagine yourself going to sleep on this record and then waking up in the other, it's a thing that doesn't necessarily involve dreaming as much as it does staying awake and going where yourself gonna go if you don't get in your own way. But jeesus, if ever there was a record that called for Bob Belden to get hold of and de-reverb back into reality, this is it. Dammit Bob, why aren't you still here?

1949 Columbia 10". Nifty as fuck! Even if Beethoven is made to look like a Founding Father or something like that.

Finally got a copy of an OG 10" LP, and DAMN what a record!

aka One of the great 20th Century American Popular Music vocal recordings, and it's all but lost as an individual entity. Yes, it is rightly included in its entirety on the Everything I Have Is Yours compilation, but it is a standalone program in concept and stands gloriously when heard as such, not surrounded on either side by diverse other things. As far as "concept" goes, when the needle runs out on Side 1 after this, you would be well within your rights to sit there for a little bit and wonder if you just heard what you think you just heard. You did. Now go pick that needle up and play the other side! Or this one again. Either way, stay a while. This record can stand up against anybody's. Anybody's.
