Was My Blue Heaven the flip side of I'm in Love Again or was it just out around the same time? And how did you avoid hearing Rock Around the Clock in 1955?

Going back to the original question: Am I the only one here who remembers "the days before rock n' roll"? (As I think VanMorrison once sang.) In the summer of 1955 there was nothing intellectual about it-- it was like being hit by a bolt of lightening. In the summer of 1956 adults were still arguing about whether rock and roll would last and I had an epiphany: I was in a restaurant when someone put Elvis singing "Don't be Cruel" on the juke box and I realized that not only would Rock and Roll last but in 50 years we'd still be listening to many of the same songs.

IIRC it was originally released in the UK as two EPs. Is the cd based on the US Lp release?

Not "Let it Bleed" or "Sticky Fingers"?

I remember listening to his his first MLB game on the radio. IIRC he got 4 hits and I was thinking "who is this guy?"

For some strange reason my parents had an 8 track player as part of their Hi Fi cabinet and a few 8 tracks as well.

Do you mean you actually had the turntable in your car or that you recorded the Lps to tape and then played them back in your car?

Wow. No one's accused me of that in a while.

White enough to get in trouble during the LA riots until he was recognized. (And of course yo might well asl "which LA riots" there's been so many.

Which reminds me that before cars had cd players they usually had cassette players. You could buy a portable cd player and attach it to a device that somehow wired the player to a cassette mechanism that you then inserted into the cassette player to listen to the cd. Anyine else remember these?

What's this in response to?

Which one are you missing?

Happy B'day!

When I moved to Toronto in 1965 John Norris was in charge of the Jazz Section of Sam's. That was how I met him.

Finally over.

Hey it's only 11:45 here.

Does "Jonathan and Darlene Edwards" count.

I have what I think is the whole broadcast (and I think it was sent to me from someone on this board).

I have both boxes. I think that's all there were. There was also a book. They're all still available at Amazon.

The first discounted jazz cds I ever saw were some Impulses at Sam the Record Man in Toronto. I got Quincy Jones and Benny Carter. Also they I remember that the first cd release of The Koln Concert left off the last movement.

RCA was especially bad at the time. They did great double Lp reissues with added never before released material but the cd version were missing some of that material. e.g Tijuana Moods.

What's the date of that recording?

I use Audio Hijack. You do have to pay a bit for it but it seems worth it to me.

I threatened to but couldn't figure out how. Maybe you could do it. BTW it's basically a "prepared" piano. i.e. with tacks.

Or how many people do.
