Thank you both! -
Too Many LPs - Prepping for a Yard Sale
Teasing the Korean replied to Teasing the Korean's topic in The Vinyl Frontier
A decent play copy, not pristine. No deep scratches IIRC but superficial marks. The spindle on my Nitty Gritty cleaner just broke at the worst possible time. When I get the replacement part, I'll give it a scrub and report back. -
In another thread several years back, I posted a pic of our LP shelving, which runs across a long wall, floor to ceiling. It was built with white modular stackable shelving that Home Despot used to sell, and I secured it to the walls to prevent buckling. When we got it set up, we had a couple of empty cubes. I said to my wife, "That's as far as we go. Anything that doesn't fit in here, we have to make room by getting rid of something else." My wife had a day gig at a radio station, and also has a show there. She kept all of the LPs and CDs that she spins on her show in her office. I knew the day would eventually come when she would have to bring those records and CDs home. Well, that day came. She recently got a new job, working remotely, and we lugged home hundreds of LPs and CDs. And keeping true to my word, we are going through the LPs, unloading duplicates (in most cases; I have to keep two copies of Serge Gainsbourg's "Je'taime"), and unloading the dogs. I am being pretty brutal, but nowhere near as brutal as I could be. There are certain things that I simply can't get rid of, even for a single track. For example, I have a rare late-60s religious "rock" musical that is almost all terrible, except it has this one wild hallucinogenic sitar-and-tablas track. We are having the sale in the first weekend in November. It will be interesting to see what "vinyls" the kids are buying these days. Also, there will be almost zero jazz, aside from a very trashed copy of Alligator Bogaloo, Johnny Hodges' Don't Sleep in the Subway, and doubles of some jazzy Mancini soundtracks. I can't really part with any jazz, at least not yet.

This was an incredibly prolific period for Morricone, and of course, we have to recognize Bruno Nicolai's contributions to Morricone's scores. Morricone was doing mafia films, giallos, and spaghetti westerns, among other genres, during this time. We are fortunate to get expanded versions of these scores.

Anyone Else Follow Formula 1 Racing?
Teasing the Korean replied to HutchFan's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Anyone know how or where to watch this afternoon's race? We have ESPN on the Hulu app, but we are not seeing it. -
I like the Columbia After Hours a lot.

He's on the back cover of at least one of them. -

I think he was making records in the 70s. We've talked about him here before. -

You guys are letting me down. We talked about this guy before. -

We have discussed hem here, outside of the cat context. -

NO, African American guy, all his album covers show him with a cat, who is often on the piano. -
One of my favorite Morricone scores. Looking forward to the expanded edition.
-
Who is this again? I think all or most of his albums include the cat in the photo.

Not according to the name-dropping professor in the university jazz program, who told us that Coltrane didn't like Red's accompaniment, and that "only those of us who were very close to the band" knew this.

Joe Castro - Mood Jazz (Atlantic)
Teasing the Korean replied to Teasing the Korean's topic in Recommendations
Playing this now. It reminds me of the Neal Hefti masterpiece Pardon My Doo-Wah on Epic. It definitely gets filed in the Space-Age Bachelor Pad section, as opposed to jazz. Now, can anyone tell me the name of Joe's sad-looking long-haired moggy on the album cover? -
Which Box Sets do You Regret Buying, and Why?
Teasing the Korean replied to northwood's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
I'm sure Mosaic saves money by using its cookie-cutter design template, but it does nothing to entice me to buy.
