Teasing the Korean

GOT IT! I'm technologically challenged. Thanks all for your help!

I chose "manually manage music" through iTunes. However, I can't pull up a list of tunes my computer (the various music choices are greyed out), and the iPod says "Connected" so I can't see the track menu on there. How do I see the song menu on the iPod while it's connected, so I can manually delete tunes via the keyboard?

Being that they ran both tape and disc, its likely that discs were used on some of these issues. The Chico O'Farrill "Cuban Blues" collection states so, but it does not say one which tunes, nor if tapes were made at the time that were lost/damaged/destroyed.

Not sure I can give you specific dates until I dig out LPs and/or CDs, but offhand Bird, Diz, Bud, and Chico O'Farrill come to mind. I had a Bud Powell Verve 2fer from the 70s (Genius of Bud Powell) with surface noise on a couple of tracks (within the transfers). Years later, I found a second pressing of this album where this had been corrected. I've found varying quality between CD issues and LP issues also. I wonder if tapes had ever been mislabeled or misplaced and found later.

Really? A lot of LB's exotica stuff hasn't even made it to CD. The double CD "Exotic Moods" from Capitol went out of print and fetches big bucks on the interwebs. All of the exotica albums go for a lot on eBay, also.

Mostly early 50s dates. Were they still recording on disc at this point? When did they go to tape?

Anyone know the answer to this question? It has puzzled me for some time.

Did you play anything from "The Hi Los Happen to Folk Music" on Reprise? Great cover art.

On a slightly different topic, a significant number of Verve/Clef/Norgran sessions from the 50s are remastered from "disc sources." What's the story here? Were they recording directly to disc later than most labels, or were master tapes lost or destroyed?

Don't forget Machito and Chico O'Farrill in the 1950s list.

NOJ, this isn't working. When I click on the icon, I don't see a choice either for "Options" or "Manually manage music and videos." Is there a step I'm missing?

Various - Sexopolis 9 tracks from the French funky 60s pop scene

When I think of Verve, I first think of the groovy stuff from the 60s, like Cal Tjader, Gary McFarland, Willie Bobo, Lalo Schifrin, Getz/Gilberto, Walter Wanderley, etc. I think Verve in the 60s hit a perfect balance between "real" jazz and the groovy, international, jet set now sound.

THANK YOU!!!!

Henry Mancini - More Music from Peter Gunn - RCA Living Stereo (black dog label).

In at least 3 different cities I've lived in - in the NE and SE - Kingston Trio records are/were available everywhere for 25 cents an armload. Okay, I find that very hard to believe, but it's no skin off my butt. Exaggerating about the 25c and armload part, but serious about the availability for very low dough.

Les Baxter - The Complete Capitol Exotica Albums. Too bad, because this one would sell out instantly.

I just got an interpods also, and I need halp. I don't understand how to delete individual tracks from it. Does it just synch with iTunes, or is there a way to customize the playlist separately from what's on the iTunes playlist? HALP!
