  1. Patrick, The advice on this thread from a few years ago still applies. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...43&hl=tokyo Disk Union stores are definitely the best for price and selection and the web site is http://diskunion.net/ If you click on shop you can see maps and addresses. In Japanese of course buy you can use google to translate the pages. Good luck with your shopping!
  2. Thanks for this. Love Newbury Comics and will place an order right now!
  3. That's a heck of a deal that's about less than 30 us bucks right ? Total cost just over $23 US. Yeah, about $23. I was very surprised to win this auction at that price.
  4. Won on eBay UK the 4 CD Mosaic Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band set. Bid low and did not expect to win but did so at 6 pounds 50 pence (plus 5 pounds shipping). Good price I think!
  5. For the official IEA view the following may be of interest. http://www.iea.org/Textbase/techno/etp/ETP_2008.pdf
  6. tentacles of treacle That would be a great name for a rock group.
  7. Two words - Richard Branson. I think that's unfair. Agreed. Quite apart from the stores, I fly a lot and in every respect Virgin Airlines is one of the very best.
  8. Sounds like something worth checking out. http://music.guardian.co.uk/rock/story/0,,2281596,00.html
  9. Damn! I've never been on this thread before; I was hoping for some info on this very match. At least tell me who to bet on! Two very evenly matched teams Jazzmoose, both have massive squads (internationals regularly sit on the bench) which allow them to play at a frenetic pace and contest every ball all over the pitch. Not always pretty, but quite compelling and very effective, thus their success. Personally, I think United have the better individual talent and are a more potent attacking force (the scored 15 more goals the 2nd placed Chelsea in the Premier League) so my money would be on a close game with United winning by one goal.
  10. No activity here for a while! Personally, I was delighted to watch Man U. win the Premiership again last Sunday. Also looking forward to the first ever all English European Champions League final between Man U. and Chelsea. Will be in the UK next Wednesday and will watch the match.
  11. Sinatra died ten years ago today. Seems like yesterday. Will definitely spin some Ol' Blue Eyes this evening.
  12. A more recent example is: Boz Scaggs - But Beautiful I must confess I rather like it.
  13. Rather late, but just wanted to say that I am very sorry for your loss. You have my deepest condolences.
  14. A recent thread. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...555&hl=dodo
  15. I am a big fan of the Burke series. Love the first four or five, indeed as noire as they come. My favourite modern crime novelist is James Crumley. To quote The Guardian, 'The poet laureate of American hard-bioiled literature'. The Last Good Kiss by Crumley is one of the all-time best in the genre. Agreed! His best, I think, and that is high praise indeed.

  17. Great band!
  18. The Guardian carries Doonesbury.
  19. Bought a new copy of the 'Sinatra in Vegas' box from the always wonderful Newbury Comics on Amazon Marketplace for $29.99 plus shipping. The list price is $79.98. Amazon Marketplace is great for box sets as overseas shipping for one CD item is $6.89, not cheap for one CD but great for a bulky box set.
  20. A kind and reliable person told me these are (most probably repressed) RVG remasters. Right, I believe that they are just Japanese releases of the US RVG series.
  21. In Tokyo at the Budokan in, I think, 1984.
  22. Gary Glitter.....twice Culture Club......also twice Wham It was all a long time ago!
  23. Treated myself to the Johnny Cash 'Unearthed' box from Newbury Comics. Very impressed with their service, just 5 days shipping to Tokyo.
  24. Yes! Says connect to www.diluted.ca Strange.
