Teasing the Korean

The only surprising thing in the article is that he was apparently living la dolce vita as recently as 4 years ago. I thought he'd blown his money decades before, and, frankly, was not even sure he was still alive until I saw the article.

There's a Whole Lalo Schifrin Goin On - Dot (stereo)

Morricone - Revolver OST - Dagored

OK, so now I have both sets. I just got the set from 2003 or whatever and I've also had the one from 1986 or whatever. I A/B'd a few of the tracks and so far I think that both sets have their advantages and drawbacks. I'll have to devote more time to comparing. It is likely that I'll keep both, but honestly, if I had to unload one of them now, I'm not sure which I'd keep, based on the 4 tracks I compared. (Jack the Bear was one of them).

I absolutely LOVE that stuff with Gabor Szabo. Some jazz geeks hate it. Thanks for playing it.

Lalo Schifrin - Enter the Dragon OST - WB (German pressing)

Fela - Army Arrangement - Yaba This must be one of the only albums that I own from that most dreaded of decades, the 1980s.

Well, in case anyone is curious, I plunked down some bucks for the Japanese CD reissue with mini LP sleeve. Haven't listened all the way through, but skipped around to some quiet passages. If it's not from the master tapes, it sounds like they used a very clean vinyl source. Definitely much better than the mp3 version available in the US.

Is Paul's cigarette photoshopped out of the image on IWTHYH? They airbrushed it out of the 1984 reissue.

I asked this in another thread but it may have gotten buried there. Can anyone tell me about the sound quality of either the CD or vinyl reissue(s) of the Doug Hammond and David Durrah "Reflections in the Sea of Nurnen?" I find that vinyl reissues of recent dacades have been dodgy. Do you know if either is from the master tapes or from an inferior source? The mp3 album sounds like it's sourced from vinyl.

This made the whole thread worth reading. Don't insult Van Alexander by comparing him to Winston. He made at least one good album.

I hope this partnership lasts indefinitely, reducing both artists' individual outputs and resulting in a smaller number of releases that I have to pass over in the dollar bin to get to the good stuff.

Quincy Jones - The Lost Man OST - Uni (stereo)

Pete Rugolo - The Sweet Ride OST - 20th Century Fox (stereo) Title track sung by Dusty Springfield

Morricone - The Burglars OST - Bell One of his best from his late 60s/early 70s period, which is really saying something considering.

Lalo Schifrin Mission Impossible - Dot (stereo) More Mission Impossible - Paramount (stereo)

Morton Stevens - Hawaii Five-O OST - Capitol BEAUTIFUL GREEN AND PURPLE LABEL!!

Oliver Nelson - Zigzag OST - MGM

MIchel Legrand - The Thomas Crown Affair OST - UA (stereo, tan label) Of course I skipped the opening theme sung by the dreaded Noel Harrison.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YMA! I am spinning "Miracles" now.

Yma Sumac - Miracles - London (stereo) Her brilliant 1972 "rock" album, with the great Les Baxter. Happy Birthday Yma Sumac!

Any other fans of Piero Piccioni's "The Tenth Victim?" That must be one of the rarest Mainstream albums. I found a copy for a dollar. It was later reissued by Easy Tempo with additional tracks but is already out of print. Stylized Italian lounge jazz with wordless female vocals. The film is one of my favorites from the 1960s.

Bob Crewe - Barbarella OST - Dynovoice (stereo)

Doug Carn - Revelation - Black Jazz (quad, supposedly).
