wish i'd know where i've put my books of lovecraft short stories...

This, too, will result in a purchase - via US amazon for £22 new, incl. p&p. (Amazon.uk's best was £111 used!) saw a used copy of that one for eight euro last week, kicking myself...

Blue Mitchell - The Cup Bearers

happy birthday!

what i find depressing is posting rip-content in non-rip threads like the recent hugh hopper thread... (though admittedly that one was an illness thread)

played grant green's version on grantstand yesterday

Charles Earland - Black Talk

same here, it's not only that he shared my birthday and that my late dad (who had the same disease) said those two soft machine lps were the two real good ones in his small collection (i must have been 13 or 14 then but i still remember reading that sentence "hugh hopper has joined the group..." on the back cover of volume two for the first time) grrrrrr! playing hopper's "memories" now, maybe not representative of his work but one of my favorite/formative/most treasured pop songs

Lo Borges - A Via Láctea been meaning to check out his solo stuff ever since liking his contributions best on Clube da Esquina

Phil Spector's Wall of Sound

Sun Ra - Night of the Purple Moon

Charles Earland - Black Talk

Dexter Gordon - Blue Dex if anybody wonders about playing the grey titles in deezer, drop me a pm, no need for fumbling with proxy servers here...

it's legit and they have all uptown cds i believe (as well as dozens of other stuff like all nimbus west and all timeless cds...) from the what are you listening to right now on spotify etc thread: Spotlite: http://www.lastfm.com/label/Spotlite/albums ESP http://www.lastfm.com/label/ESP+Disk/albums Nimbus West: http://www.lastfm.de/label/Nimbus+West+Records/albums Arhoolie: http://www.lastfm.de/label/Arhoolie+Records/albums Timeless: http://www.lastfm.com/label/Timeless+Records/albums vsop http://www.last.fm/label/Vsop+Records/albums uptown http://www.last.fm/label/Uptown+Jazz/albums

Isn't that title lifted from some Beat poetry? Keroac maybe? 99% that it's kerouac, and can vaguely hear him say that on one of the kerouc cds i had from the public library as a kid... edit: indeed it's on the kerouac/steve allen cd... almost bought that one yesterday, actually

did i get this right (in the booklet of the uptown cd) that in addition to the oklahoma prison band tracks on the uptown cd there is also this lp "aint got time to lose" by the "oklahoma prison band"? http://cgi.ebay.com/Aint-Got-Time-to-Loose...%3A1%7C294%3A50 assume bolton is on it - there's a photo of him playing trumpet during that session in the uptown booklet... has anyone heard it? how does it compare to the uptown tracks..?

Deezer Duke Ellington - The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse

found this pretty cool (and as it said on the page mike linked to, the music is from the set...)

The way the graphics are done does not remind you of a certain brand of a jazz label ? Looks familiar. Example? maybe freddie roach's brown sugar but i would say the parallels are rather superficial... somehow it reminds me most strongly of the recent blue note compilations (blue note round trip... and what's different with classic blue note is that the woman is never the artist himself... and i can't really recall a similar classic blue note cover with a male face... maybe something by stamnley turrentine) edit to add:

here are some more http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/scott.php amazing that people didn't give up at that stage edit to add, on the final pages of this here http://www.firstsounds.org/public/First-So...ng-Paper-04.pdf one can actually see the recordings...

remember this as a fine book - too bad physics knowledge never stays with me longer than four weeks (so i stopped trying), that book was one two or three things i noticed when i first came into my girlfriend's former room in her parents house (she has dozens of these books but kinda lost interest, wonder what she was like back then); wish i remembered everything as easily as discographies... just read the booklet of the dupree bolton uptown cd, my first uptown cd... (haven't said this so far but felt it quite a bit: welcome back!)

Dupree Bolton - Fireball James Newton - African Flower Melvin Rhyne - Organ-izing Christoph Titz - Magic Tom Waits - Blue Valentines (with ray crawford and charles kynard...)

there's a good chance that tonight i will get to a used cd store which has the stash edition of bird's dial recordings (4cds) for 12 or 13 euro; i already have them, but it sounds like a good deal to me (though i didn't check), pm if interested... quick edit: 9 euro actually plus shipping, don't know when i will get there the next time but it hasn't been sold for five months now send a pm and i'll try to get it next time i'm in cologne...

indeed... one of the best tracks (the least "obscure" one i guess) comes from ronnie boykins esp album which i also liked...

the trio one?
