"Dying Inside" is on a whole 'nother level for Silverberg. I'm not sure how apt the comparison is, but I've always likened it to Roth's "Portnoy's Complaint."

Returning late to this thread so this may have already been commented upon, but why was Schaefer on Piano Jazz in the first place? He's never claimed to be a jazz musician. Like or despise the guy, but at least get his name right -- Shaffer. Paul Shaffer. Heh. I was just copying the spelling from upthread - I shoulda known better!

Robert Silverberg's "Dying Inside" is one of my all time favorite books.

What an odd thread this turned out to be! Though I've been here long enough to not be that surprised. Anyway, I've been digging Dave for nearly 30 years now. I thought it was common knowledge that he didn't much care for jazz, but then neither does my father. I didn't think that was a problem. I don't like much rap or opera music either.

Dave's a comedian. He made a joke. Don't take the "slight" so seriously.

Oh wow. Just saw this. Sad to hear, but one's gotta do what one's gotta do... and follow whatever path life offers you. I can only wish you all the best for whatever the future brings. Ten years ain't such a bad run; lasted longer than the Beatles!

Well, I missed this the first time, so I'll thank VBII for it!

I contacted eMusic after reading and corroborating your post. They said they would look into it, yet today I see they put several new 1201 titles on their website, again with tracks missing. They claim the record company is responsible for the error, but it's their decision to keep selling incomplete albums. It is indeed the label that decides what to put up, how much to charge (for album-only downloads), and what to "fix" or not.

I remember seeing this when it first aired. I know him mostly from his comic work; will have to dig up some of his jazz reviews/writings.

It isn't a matter of "censorship" at all. The original film ("The Boat that Rocked") bombed in the UK and was recut/trimmed for release in the U.S. and Canada. Many people seem to prefer the recut version (it was 20 minutes shorter and less meandering).

I enjoyed it. By all accounts the U.S. edit is much better than the UK version.

Victor, yes, though I haven't yet heard the Dolphy album, I very much dig VAO. "Sound of Love" is very good!

It's hard to disagree with your disgust over the kid's smoking, but seriously, you're blaming this one-in-a-million incident (which is happening in Indonesia btw) on why kids "fail in school?"

Just saw this over on Facebook. But for me it's the stoner guy's over-the-top reaction that makes this funny.

Yeah, many of the Black Lion/1201s appear to be incomplete. Also note, per the CDs that I have, several of the CDs are needle drops.

Is there a Mainstream reissue program kicking off or already going on? A lot (most?) of the Mainstream titles can be had digitally - and often very cheaply - from emusic, Amiestreet, and even the Limewire store. Some, I believe, are needle drops, but others appear to come from the otherwise expensive Japanese P-Vine reissues.

I'm not about to drop $50 for another version of this, but I find the restoration work interesting nonetheless. I'm more glad that it's been done than if the glitch was ignored again. Can't understand why anyone would frown upon the fix.

Feel free to start a thread about new music; this thread is about remastering an old classic.

Well, yeah, you don't sell needle drops for $50. But if it's such an easy fix why didn't Rudy (or anyone else) do it over the last 40 years or so?

Thanks for posting that, Chuck. Very sad news (way too much these days it seems.) I never had the chance to see Fred in person, and only first heard about him from guys like you here on the forum. Will be spinning much by him this weekend. R.I.P.

Well, if it wasn't Papsrus, it must have been me; surely Ray's comment can't be read as opposition. Of course, I didn't think mine could when I posted it, but there you go. However, it wasn't meant as opposition. For some reason Fatal Instinct (the famous stalking movie in we which we learn that stalkers are female, rather than what crime statistics tell us) flashed in my brain, and I could see the movie posters already... No, my comment wasn't in any way opposition; it was just tasteless. Actually, I think Guy was referring to the opposition mentioned in the article, not by anyone here.

Sorry in advance, but I suppose this gives new meaning to the word "snatch."
