I realize the Braziliance stuff is available. I'm talking all those mid-60s WP bossa albums, some of which had Shank.

Love all those Brazil records on WP with Almeida, of course, and then he later ones with Clare Fischer, Joao Donato, et. al. Why aren't all of these on CD?

Smart choice.

Magical Mystery Tour is one of the greatest psychedelic albums ever made. RIP.

...and I realize I left the Wayne Newton adapter in the "on" position before I hit the play button. Friends, please don't make the mistake that I just made.

I think that's it. Anyone seen the Sunday night jazz samba group there?

A few years ago someone was telling me about a GREAT bossa group that had a regular house gig someplace in Manhattan. Described as one of NYC's best kept secrets, and a low cover charge to boot. Anyone know what this is, and if it's still going on?

My Dad loved Nat Cole, Tatum, etc. and always told me about Clarence and how ahead of his time he was. I think I may have something on a comp but that's it. How much is available?

Procol Harum.

Fine, I'll leave it to the connoisseurs to educate me.

Banned because the unanimous answer would be "the 70s" so there would be no further reason to discuss it.

There is software or hardware that corrects wow and flutter, but apparently it has to be applied at the tape transferring stage - it doesn't work a digital copy of something recorded from a poor source. My info is from a couple of years ago - no idea if they have anything better now, or how expensive it is.

I'm just trying to boost the value of his collection. I brought all of my Baja albums back to the thrift store years ago. They just don't have that X factor that the TJB albums have. That said, Julius Wechter wrote some great tunes, including "Fresh Air" as covered by Cal Tjader on one of his groovy decadent records; and "Oro, God of Vengeance," recorded by one of Martin Denny's ghost lineups. As for 101 strings, there are a few great records including one with Nelson Riddle, "Que Mango" with the Great Les Baxter, and, of course, "Astro Sounds from the Year 2000," which is ALREADY going for big bucks. The latter album was an instrumental psychedelic master that they bought, overdubbed strings, and ran the whole thing through a phase shifter. There is also the 101 Strings erotic album, featuring sitar and female orgasm sounds. This is also hard to find and commands big bucks. A few of the tracks show up as bonus tracks on the "Astro Sounds" CD. In fairness to Chuck, most if not all of these 101 Strings albums were on the Alshire label, not Somerset.

Combustible were great. Schizophonic is my favorite album by them.

Love his main theme from "Les Yeux Sans Visage," which was covered virtually note-for-note by Combustible Edison on their incredible album "Schizophonic."

Sad news. A great film composer.

Like JSngry, I too know Neil only through Nilsson's version of "Everybody's Talkin'" and Tim Buckley's (incredible) version of "The Dolphins." I remember reading in his obit that Neil spent the later part of his life as a dolphin researcher in Florida, and that by that time he apparently did not like discussing his musical career at all.
