Just in from the Netherlands (Vol 14) of a great series of Concerts at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam.

Correct. But in general here in Germany home recording for your own pleasure it is legal and trading the music in one way opr other too. Thats one of the reasons these decks and walkman recorders werde constructed. But there is one more reason re tape hiss which was not mentioned here. Playing a CD or CD-R is touchless which is not possible for recorded tapes (reels, cassettes). The musical signals are encoded via magnetism on the readable surfache of the tape. Playing it back means your reading head touches the magnetic surface of the tape. Every time you play a tape a bit more magnetism is transferred from the tape to the reading (playback) head and is accumulated there. This causes to a high degree "tape hiss" and remains on your hardware unless a regular demagnetism procedure is performed. This can be done a) with special demagnetizing cassette tapes b) with special device (driven by a battery inside) touching cautiously the reading head and remove the device very slowly from the heads. If the original signal from radio is free if noise and hiss there will be no audible 'hiss' on your home recording. This is at least my own experience because I care very much for my hardware to keep it in the best possible shape.

Yes for the 78 rpm stock it does it. But thats too much nostalgia for me. ;-]] Not here in Germany. The radio stations offer a software "Radiorecorder" which can be installed free on your own computer. It recods digitally the broadcast and lists it in a internal database. Recording for private use is officially allowed. How is it in the US? That ad with the logo seems to come from the companiers fearing reduced proceeds.

I would suggest a compleat load of Mosaic or has this been suggested earlier?

Just discussede in another forum the cover art of Jim Flora. Here are his books of his art and style: Some of the RCA Sauter-Finegan have Jim Flora cover art.

That may be your private opinion. It all depends on the quality level of the hardware you use and brand of cassette tapes. I have recorded only on the highh-end Nakamichi decks ZX 9 and Dragon ( and a few in my BRAUN) and have used only TDK or Maxell cassette tapes of all kind (Ferro/Chromium or metal) for my FM radio broadcasts I did record. No Dolby on the master tapes. Recently I producerd a CD-R from my Nakamichi master. Someone asked me from which CD this was copied. The playback quality was superbe. I do agree that a lot of low-fi hardware and cheap cassettes damaged the general opinion of the home cassette recording but all I can say my Cassettes from 25 years and more ago meet the quality of most of todays CD's. The 2 track recordings on open reel are still a small percentage better using the BRAUN TG 1020 2 track or the Revox machine.

`Have just seen in the german TV a report about efforts to start a new cassette tape production with improved audio quality. The usual tape hiss is strongly reduced mentioned the report. The little company is located in the US. Has anybody else heard about this Info? Rhanks

Hi John, are you aware of the most recent release "Just in Time"? The final recording. Simply marvellous W.

We had the Blakey 5tet in Oct. 1979 in our private jazz club in Koblenz , Germany with this group Valery Ponomarev, Dave Schnitter, Bobby Watson, James Williams and Dennis Irwin . It was a marvellous concert

was also issued with this cover on Discovery

Thank you Jim for clarification. BTW part of this special recording was issued also with this front cover. Rearside is blanc.

Just another guitar player Jimmy Raney

Havent seen the cover you mentioned so I cannot comment on that. But the Steve Hoffmans Forums have s special thread just for covers which have "stealed" graphic elemerts or the whole Idea from another LP cover issued. As it looks its quite usual to copy other Ideas. This thread is very interesting. Probably we could open one here too showing covers which are very similar in the Idea or graphics.

Front title is different however but see the rear cover pl.

Well man, George is the guy with the red necktie. This is Bobby Watson on alto sax. Nice joke from your side

Correct.

Accepted. I' m one of those "hard core FF fans" and can listen to them every day. Here are some of their later issues on vinyl.

Yes agreed. Have the 7 LP Mosaic box. Here are the tiles of the Capitol LP's as content of the LP box: ST-1187 Shearing On Stage ST-1416 On The Sunny Side Of The Street ST- 1715- San Francisco Scene ST- 12992 Jazz Concert ST- 2447 Rare Form

I like them all the way from the first to the last LP + the additional material on CD's. Its the lonngest performing vocal group on the scene with many changes after the founding members are gone but still going strong. How many high praised vocal groups are vanished from the scene? Your pers. taste respected but there are fans who have different preferences ;-]]

From a concert in Koblenz, Germany (private jazz club) on Nov. 02, 1981

After this source is closed for some years is there another suggestion? Thanks

Just arrived yesterday from my order in June 2019 Left out this box 'cause have all his stuff on vinyls and CD's. Can suggest this book
