..and still don't? Or would want to, other than as a curiosity? Columbia Christmas inventory, though...looking around, that shit looks endless...

I'd like to hear this in a contemporary rendition, maybe. This seems a little forced, but maybe that's me and/or the time/place?

This is a good record too, albeit in so many different ways as to make comparisons as irrelevant as they are unnecessary (or vice-versa?). I like to come back to this ever year or so for a few reasons, the foremost of which is that I like it a lot, but the second is to find the bottom/back of Spector's Wall. No luck to date! Plus, I just like thinking about Hal Blaine playing on all those LA pop records and never being less than a total boss. AFAIK, Spector never doubled him, never had to, just put him there and let him be Hal Blaine. If Hal Blaine & Randy Weston can't be appreciated for the unique triumphant human accomplishers they are, totally different except for being total badass accomplishers of their own abilities and ambitions then humanity is spiritually slow-fucking itself into extinction. And oh yeah, the post "Waling In The Rain" records are really interesting, period.

This is a good record.

The first sites posted contain self-contained links to unique records. You can't use them as a gateway to a whole other world of downloading pretty much anything and everything . Not true of Usenet, etc. Perhaps a trivial distinction, but there it is. If there's a need to eliminate the other links here to demonstrate a more rigid intellectual consistency to the community, that will occur. .Having said that, good luck to all in their searchings!

Firestone had an annual series, though. I'm thinking they did at least 10 of them. Don't know if they were all different from year to year, but if there's such a specialty as Christmas Records Discography... This just shows how much of a wide-reaching enterprise Columbia Records really was -they had a stockpile of Christmas songs ready to go for anybody and everybody who wanted to slap their brand on a record. And considering all the non-Christmas CSP products (a few of which would have the odd non-LP cut as well)...Columbia was a corporate titan when it came to having inventory!

Ok, how did the TG&Y Christmas album(s?) compare to the Firestone ones?

Even though the internet is still your friend, I'm gonna be proactive here and say that instructions on using usenet or other pointers in that direction should not be provided in the public forum. Cap'n, I removed the link from your post. Nothing personal.

Real Player still exists, against all odds. There are "after-market" players that can play the files, though.

A lot better than you'd think, actually. A lot of it shot "on the streets" in L.A. in 1956, so you know pretty much everything you see (except the land itself) no longer exists. which in the case of Jack's at the Beach and the two used car lots where most of the action takes place (under their real names, with a special thanks to them both in the end credits, is a real visual treat (as is Joi Lansing, but hey, that's a no-brainer, right?). And the cars....oh the cars! The plot is not about hot rods, it's about a multi-state stolen car racket and how an honest used-care salesman with a loving hot wife and a dangerously sick baby gets sucked into it all, does quite well, finally gets cold feet when the feds move in, and then gets framed for the murder of one of the feds by the outfit for whom he's been working (which of course involves an implied desperation quickie with Joi Lansing, who has of course also been used to bait this guy in from the git-go). The final scene is absolutely Hitchcock-ian, taking place on/in a roller coaster in an amusement park at what is now called Venice Beach but was then known as Ocean Park Pier, in Santa Monica (and which of course also no longer exists). It might make you dizzy, and I mean that as a compliment. The whole thing lasts only 60 minutes and does not waste a second. And you get to see Dabs Greer as a Fed trying to buy his wife a new Chrysler that he suspects might be hot (it is) less than an hour before the racket murders him. I would absolutely recommend this to anybody who is not put off by the above description. It's free with Amazon Prime.

Not every record store carried them, to put it mildly.

...and too often potential gets squandered and lives wasted (in part or in whole). And any and all efforts at awareness and education run up against deeply ingrained macro-cultural programming, to the point that people who objectively should know better do it anyway. Traps everywhere, that was my point. Traps everywhere.

I had no idea he was that old, he was one of those guys I just subconsciously took to be always young. He played like he was! RIP.

The Blue Note was the first "legit" issue of the live material, but I first heard it in the late 1970s on this 1974 Italian bootleg: https://www.discogs.com/Miles-Davis-His-Tuba-Band-Pre-Birth-Of-The-Cool/release/2165962 It should (maybe) be noted that the first full "modern" LP release of the studio material didn't come until 1972! Previous LPs had omitted "Darn That Dream".

Per that report, he was involved in a physical altercation with his girlfriend and then it went south. Excuse me -further south. That's just dumb. Nothing to do with him as a musician, those are two different things. Drug death is dumb. Domestic violence is dumb. Music is not dumb, but music is made by humans, and humans are far too often known for doing dumb thongs. No offense or disreputable meant towards the musician. But domestic violence is dumb, no matter who is involved.

So, is domestic violence gonna be the new heroin?

Not unless you're dying to hear it all on LP.

I like the videos that were included with Grow Fins. I wonder if they still play on modern computers.

Lawrence Brown playing pretty for the people.
