Teasing the Korean

A couple of the tracks on this sound like Sun Ra!

There's a great little scene in which the Walter Winchell character throws open the penthouse bay windows, looking down onto Manhattan, accompanied by a melodramatic Elmer Bernstein cue. It's like the character is thinking, "This city is a jungle - but it's MY jungle!"

I knew you'd make the right decision!!!

Yes, because it's the brilliant and underappreciated LEITH STEVENS. And albums with titles like "Private Hell 36" will get you further with the babes than, say, "Chances Are It Swings."

Be sure to get a shot of him poetically gazing off into the distance as he's being prodded into the squad car.

How could anyone even hesitate with a title like "Private Hell 36" for $7.99?

Hop on it NOW!

Nice that we have a thread dedicated to this now; I've gotten into trouble putting my drunken posts in other threads!

Here's a SUPERB album with young Carl's involvement: Originally on Charlie Parker records, now on a Collectibles CD.

I have some of his LPs released under his name, and they are all on the cusp of pop/EZ/jazz rather than being fully straightforward jazz albums. That said, he is one of the trumpet players on Tito Puente’s album “Tambo” (RCA, 1960) which is HANDS DOWN my VERY favorite Tito Puente album. Doc’s Command albums are, well, like Command albums. I really like side 1 of his RCA album “Rhapsody for Now,” from the early 1970s. It’s much more “now sound” than it is jazz, so many will hate it, but I really love it.

No wonder "Same" had so many posts over there. There were so many of you posting under that login!

Ever heard their Latin album on Capitol? That's a good one!

It didn't work. I unplugged the antenna from the TV; unplugged the video from the DVD; turned off the tv; turned off the overhead light. The only things on were the DVD player and CD burner, with the cable going from the audio out to audio in jacks. What gives???

Never heard this in mono. Do you know the stereo? How do they compare?

Thanks all! I'll try these suggestions!

I have a freestanding CD burner hooked up to my stereo, which I use to burn vinyl onto CD via analog RCA inputs. In another room, I have a DVD player, with analog RCA audio outputs that hook up to my TV. I was attempting, for the first time, to burn audio from a DVD onto a CD. I lugged my CD burner out to where the DVD player was, used the same RCA cables that went into the TV, and plugged them into the analog inputs on the CD burner. When I previewed the sound in record mode, there was a substantial buzz that was nearly as loud as the audio signal on the DVD. I was using the very same cord I’d used to plug into the TV, so I doubt a faulty cord was the issue. I’ve grounded turntables, of course, but never had to ground any other audio equipment. Is this likely the issue? If not, where might the buzz be coming from? It seems like a pretty straightforward setup. Any suggestions?

Several Indian LPs on Indian HMV/EMI, including "Folk Songs from Bengal" and "12 Gems from Tagore."

I'm dying to do a Dizzy Gillespie/Pee Wee Herman mashup.

A Arte de Jorge Ben - Double LP comp of his 60s early 70s stuff on Brazilian Philips

No wonder I only thought there were two: I never picked up on the difference between SQ and QS. Kind of like the "Star Trek" episode with the two aliens who were at war with each other. They were both half black (literally) and half white (literally), with the dividing line straight down the middle. Kirk couldn't figure out why they were at war. But they were mirror images of each other, like SQ and QS.

I did not know that!

I admire the fact that Lalo re-recorded this album a few years back when he couldn't license the LP masters, but this LP blows away the newer version, trust me.

Not long. And the fact that there were two competing, non-compatible quad formats didn't help matters.

When you play a stereo LP back in mono, it can either improve it, make no appreciable difference, or ruin the sound entirely. I imagine the same thing could occur playing a quad LP in stereo - or mono, for that matter.
