awesome! right now, im thinking its so good, ill want to set fire to my entire columbia masterworks 78 rpm collection

FUCK all this, i just ordered a mono promo copy of HIFI Jazz J-618 Gerry Wiggins Wiggin Out! 17 bucks but at least its guarenteed (shipping pending)

ohhh i see what yr saying i think Chuck, so youre saying, even though its a 70s issue, they didnt go back to the tapes and re cut stampers etc for the album from scratch, like they did with other 70s issues, but the 60's metal parts still existed and they just utilized the "old stock" to print the new discs, and thats why they say VanGelder in the deadwax and sound good? this is all very interesting!!! thanks you guys!!

ok ok so this is totally a long time after ive stopped seeing rvg or vangelder in the deadwax of blue notes, but all of a sudden heres a catelogue reissue and wham: its def. the big blue 70s "b" label but there it says vangelder in the deadwax.....what is up with this???

arkestra + 3 violins and a few assorted brass/woodwind orch. insstruments and timpini....

so u guys have the rights/access to all these unreleased jim flora designs, and now youre making good on them, puttin them on your album covers? thats totally awesome

so if i order a title, i might not get it?

'forced to return after being swindled'....etc---whats the story w/ this??!?!! lost in translation!?

wait even tho there listed in the cat and on the site you mean some titles are NOT AVAILBLE? or WILL be once oldies.com gets them?!? or wtf?

ALL ANSWERS, CONTAINTED WITHIN:

indeed- Ben Webster totally went WCJ in the early 60s! that reniassiance date is phat!

i dont understand how Bruneicnux was able to uncover all that recording session info in the 1st place of the mysterious crown......i have no idea how he was able to uncover even that basic info. all i know is that all answers must be contained in the crown bldg. i MUST visit it someday in LA

caught 2 of 6 brubeck sets and lemme tell you about it first off i had the best seat in the house, and i wasnt even IN the house--- i was squatting on one knee, almost eye level to the piano keyboard-- it was a LITTLE above eye level friday they open w/ a swingin sunny side of street, the jazz equivelent of dont worry be happy- it was very jovial. then they do a brubeck qt classic- i dont remember the title but it was from one of the 1st two TIME lps for sure-- classic Bru.....then, he does something different than anything id EVER heard him do before--- it was, like a 70s jazz-rock-fusion-type-song w/ the drummer hitting the "bell" of the cymbal a lot in a rock beat, and brubeck was rockin out with a crazy melody followed by a crazier solo, if you blindfolded me and put a gun to my head never in my wildest immagination would you ever guess it was dave brubeck or dave brubeck quartet-- i was astounded. then william o. smith aka bill smith joins the band for yesterdays, followed by the hit single (take five)- on which brubeck lays out and smith takes a very free solo. ive heard brubeck solo on this on live recs i think but he did not solo. okokokokok so check this out-- take five ends, brubeck gets up and waves, everybodys clappin, he turns around and steps off the stage and instead of going back to the dressing room like usual at the club, all of a sudden the side door (emergency/handicapped by the stage that no one ever opens) he goes right from the stage right out the door, a car is waiting right out side--- IT WAS LIKE THE ROLLING STONES EXIT CIRCA 1972. OR THE BEATLES AND THEIR AMBULANCE GETTAWAY. OR ELVIS. IT WAS A TOTAL ROCK STAR EXIT. HE WAS JUST LIKE ALL: "BRUBECK-OUT!" AND STEPPED FROM THE STAGE, RIGHT OUTSIDE AND WALKED 20 FT TO THE CURB AND GOT IN THE CAR AND WAS OUTTA THERE!! BUT IM PASSING OVER AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE STORY, LETS BACKTRACK. SO AFTER TAKE FIVE ENDED BRUEBCK IS WALKING OFF THE STAGE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I FIGURE IT ALL OUT: I REALIZE WHAT IS HAPPENEING. HIS MANAGER OR HANDLER OR WHOMEVER IS BRINGING HIM OUT THE DOOR. WELL WHO IS THE ONLY DUDE OUT THERE? CHEWY!!!!!!!!!!! so they swing it open and i say "awesome conecrt, mr. brubeck!!!" but it was still pretty noisy cause the door was still swung open and everyone inside was still hootin' (keep in mind this is only like 20 seconds after the end of take five) his handler runs up ahead to start the car. brubecks walking a little slower, its about 20 ft to teh curb.....so i waited another second, and repeated: "awesome concert, mr. brubeck!!!" he stopped and didnt turn around but turned his head halfway more twd my direction, and exclaimed: "Thanks!" pretty awesome!!! his hands look like theve aged more than the rest of him, cause he uses them so much. i noticed that. i also noticed how much he smiled when he played. havent seen anyone so happy to make music since master higgins! the saturday show was good too but fri was amazing with the brubeck fusion song and william o. smith as special guest

im gonna be groovin to bob live here in 3 weeks

i would of bought them all!

my beef is i dont really know how i feel about mono sound translating out to the digital format: i am just so used to associating mono with the RIAA curve, that i dont understand how i would like mono with the full spectrum of digital. dont get me started on hdcd, ive never heard one (but i want to)

this must be what happens when you listen to No Room For Squares on meth

i was thinking maybe he was japanese and couldnt write english very well?

can u link the blog? also whats up w/ that Horace story re- lester...never heard that one before...is that well known?

didnt sun ra record for ping too, as a sideman>?

im sorry im sorry- my orig. post was going to be narrower but i lost focus on it and thats what happened i think origianlly i just wanted to know, how RCA, the GREAT RCA, could do something so assinine like put the session/personel info buried in this love letter on the back to you.

i only had the tops-records 78 growin up

>?!?!?!?!?!?

yeyayea!!!! theres also a version w/ brian singing it w/ the beach boys i know, i dont remember if i jhave it or not

the lp store wanted 79.99 for a stereo copy-- --never heard of this one,-- i was aware of "teddys ready" w/ the same lineup...but how is this ATLANTIC lp?
