Teasing the Korean

Quarteto Em Cy - De Marre de Cy - Elenco (mono)

That one was on "Yesterday and Today" where I come from.

I've been listening to the bonus discs that came with each album lately. Some really superb songs didn't make it to the original albums.

I never got what the big deal was about the Beatles. Until now: http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/VOLUME...ic_shifts.shtml

The Gene Clark is not bad in stereo, if you first hear it that way (as I did). Then, you hear the mono, and you can't go back!

Cal Tjader - Amazonas - Fantasy Funky/groovy/Brasilian 1975 session, produced by Airto, arranged by George Duke.

Piero Piccioni - The Tenth Victim (La Decima Vitima) - Easy Tempo One of my favorite soundtracks ever - not to mention one of my fave films ever.

Agree with Sidewinder, I have an expensive turntable with clamp, actually clamp doesn't help with seriously warped records, tonearm does. Obviosly if you have some 2K to throw away you can try one of these: http://www.axissaudio.com/special/specAir.htm Thanks. I just happen to have an extra two grand and nothing to spend it on...

There was a funny story a few months back about some gangsta/rapper wannabe kid who allegedly committed a crime. The cops were chasing him, and easily caught him, because his pants kept falling down and he was tripping over them!

The Rolling Stones Now - London stereo (reprocessed with the mono button engaged). My wife complains that I don't play enough rock and roll around the house. She said it's like living with her dad!

Thanks. How about those turntables that clamp the edges of the albums down? What price range do those start in?

Possibly a stupid question, but now that LPs have been around for so many decades: Has anyone figured out a way to unwarp a warped LP, or at least lessen the warp, without causing other damage? If people are baking audio tape in convection ovens and eliminating the whine, there MUST be something to fix a warped LP. Thoughts? Experiences?

Great album. Mono or stereo reissue? Stereo. Interesting. They reissued all the Byrds stuff in mono. Wonder why they didn't do this one the same way.

AP (Los Angeles): As an homage to Beach Boys "twofer" reissues from the 1970s, Capitol records will issue a limited edition, 2 LP vinyl version of Dennis Wilson's "Pacific Ocean Blue" and "Bambu," featuring 70s cover graphics, poor vinyl pressings, and two songs deleted from each LP, sources report. "We strongly feel that Dennis, as an artist of uncompromising vision and integrity, is fully deserving of the same shoddy treatment that the Beach Boys, Sinatra and others received in the 70s," said Capitol Vice President Creed Vander Mark. "Therefore, we have pressed these LPs on substandard vinyl and hacked two songs off of each album." Vander Mark is particularly proud of the sleeve design. "The double album cover features a purple border, 70s Euro-style graphics, and random, inappropriate photos of Dennis - many of which depict him from a completely different era." "We are really excited about the vinyl we used," he continued. "We had to break into a locked file cabinet to find the exact formula that was used for LPs during the energy crisis of the 70s. We even made sure to melt down defective LPs that had been shipped back and added them to the new vinyl compound, with chunks of the labels ground up along with the melted vinyl." Capitol executives had a difficult time reaching consensus on a record label design, however. "One contingent was really gung-ho for the yellow label with "Capitol" in orange typeface. Eventually, we went with the red/orange label, with olive typeface, the same one used on 'Endless Summer.'" As an incentive for vinyl buyers, the double album will be priced at only $9.99. "Two for the price of one. That was the only way we could unload this ancient crap during the 70s," Vander Mark said. Plans are underway to issue the abridged version of "Pacific Ocean Blue" and "Bambu" on 8-track, according to an internal Capitol memo.

Do I remember her? I HAVE MOST OF HER ALBUMS! Talk about a long overdue Mosaic box...

Great album. Mono or stereo reissue?

I was just reading something fairly shocking on Amazon regarding Season 2 of the Fugitive: For contractual reasons, THEY HAVE REMOVED PETE RUGOLO'S UNDERSCORE and apparently replaced it with a lame recorded-in-someone's-garage electronic score.

Thanks to all of you for listening and also the positive comments! It's great to share great music with those who appreciate it! MG, the Joe Cuba album I played (along with several other JC albums) has been reissued on vinyl: http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=b8s...p%3Bincl_cs%3D1 Not sure if it's out on CD. Unfortunately, the two Les Baxter albums with Plas Johnson, "Jungle Jazz" and "African Jazz," have still not had a legitimate CD nor vinyl reissue. You may want to check out LB's "Ritual of the Savage" and "Tamboo," both of which have been reissued on CD. I just found out that because of WMNF's upcoming pledge minithon, there probably won't be a "Latino 54" on June 25. I'll let you know if I'm asked to fill in on any upcoming shows though.

It *should* be archived shortly after it finishes at 10 am EST.

The show will be broadcast Wed. June 18, 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. EST. It will also be archived for a week. Go to www.wmnf.org and go to "schedule." Look for "Latino 54" on Wednesday at 9 a.m. and you'll be able to listen.

Sadly out of print. George Duke was the pianist and arranger. A brilliant record: http://www.amazon.com/Here-Now-Third-Wave/dp/B000030015
