Yeah, the Rumble in the Jungle and the concert in Kenya that included BB King ... there were more details in the NYT obit.

Yes its helpful to be independently wealthy if you are going to operate an independent label focused on jazz. But I don't see the story as depressing ... he's committed to the music he's recorded, improving recordings that bugged him, and keeping it all in print. I've enjoyed Reservoir recordings. I admire the man behind it just as much.

Not as old as Jim but I am +1. I can't believe that Bresna, who I am sure has a nice rig, could buy an "audiophile" pressing that plays like shit for at least one track.

Indeed! And, it seems as though Click Repair is doing a nice, no-artifacts job with decrackle, too, so may not even spend that much time working on getting the tracks in listenable shape.

Newest and possibly greatest acquisition this side of the Four Sounds Acetate. After something like 15 years of hoping to find a copy, I tried a "G+" copy from a seller in Denmark. Paid ... way too much for a "G+" record, but way, way less than their offering price. And now after just a seven day trip from Denmark to Florida, dealer is turning out tohave been very conservative in his grading. Not even sure now if I will bother with the kind offers I got as a result of this thread: That's Curtis Amy on tenor, if you didn't know ...

He still fits comfortably in the type of person Dewar's was "profiling". Just check a google image search. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22dewar%27s+profiles%22&sxsrf=ALeKk02xnne5jTlF-ZObF1uoSyqsGBfR-Q:1621279329096&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=g5xWiYj2UAoM6M%252C3up6HqYBj7aMQM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTSftim8kr6atMDz4ZKfWJJ56oJfA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjY2_eTuNHwAhVOd6wKHdzwAsUQ9QF6BAgWEAE&biw=1280&bih=560#imgrc=g5xWiYj2UAoM6M (That's gotta be the youngest photo of Jerry Orbach I've ever seen ... granted he was a major broadway star but that was pre-hollywood fame let alone Law & Order.)

Somewhat interesting tracking situation ... I had an LP coming from Denmark, and scheduled for arrival today, a scant six days after shipping and absolutely astonishing for the present global situation. Yet, I joked to my wife that they hit the brakes too late and ended up dropping it off at West Palm Beach - a wee bit too far south. And yet. Since then it's remained in tracking status "Expected Delivery by Monday May 17" while its been successively scanned at Fort Myers, Sarasota, Tampa and Ybor City. And now it has left Ybor City which would mean next stop, Plant City. And still: Expected Delivery Monday. So is it possible Plant City will send out a special truck to deliver today, once they get it? I first expected two more days to get to me, and when I saw arrive Ybor City, I figured it wouldn't move again before the early morning hours, on the way to Plant City for regular delivery tomorrow. And yet - usually they have been much quicker to change to "en route - arriving late" status then leaving the "delivery today" summary on the tracking screen.

No trouble here, and I just downloaded both again to make sure. PM me if you still have trouble and I'll help get them to you. -
Volunteer for Cleaning/Transferring LP in questionable shape?
Dan Gould replied to Dan Gould's topic in The Vinyl Frontier
Thanks you may be the best option, except for the fact that you're on the west coast IIRC. I'll be in touch, I am hopeful this will actually arrive on Monday which would be a remarkable six days from Denmark, would have to give major props to the postal services of the world for that. -
Starting at least 8 years ago, my wife and I had the option in Boca Raton of dinner (decent bar food) plus unlimited popcorn and love seats for the movie portion. This was one of the earliest adaptors of the "premium" seating - That was a nice place to go. (And nearly 40 years ago when I arrived for college in Tallahassee, there were not one but two theaters selling beer - not the same, but pretty cool at the time, and it stayed that way when I got grandfathered in to the the 19 year old drinking age.)

I have never ever considered a hot dog in a movie theater. I think the only way I could would be if Nathan's operated the theater.

Volunteer for Cleaning/Transferring LP in questionable shape?
Dan Gould replied to Dan Gould's topic in The Vinyl Frontier
Yeah, I do have Click Repair - I have found it leaves artifacts behind (especially for trumpets) but used gently can work quite well ... I figure I would have to use click repair especially if it turns out to have that persistent sizzle background noise. I can edit out pops manually. Main thing is if it can clean up well and play thru. I'd be pretty stoked to hear the record then. -
Volunteer for Cleaning/Transferring LP in questionable shape?
Dan Gould replied to Dan Gould's topic in The Vinyl Frontier
Thank you, I will keep you in mind for sure. Hopefully someone can take care of the whole thing because I don't think my rig will react as well to a G+ record as a better one might. (Or, as Jim S. remarked to me, a 1950s rig with a 30 gram tracking force would probably play it perfectly. And might have once done so. ) -
I am wondering if anyone in the US has the right equipment and the willingness to receive an LP I've purchased and attempt to get me the best possible transfer. Its super rare - Perry Lee Blackwell on Combo Records, featuring Curtis Amy - and I've been on the hunt for a very long time. At least I paid less than 1/2 of their asking price, for a "G+" copy. (And hey, that means its not supposed to skip!) So I am thinking when I get it in hand that if there's going to be a usable transfer made, it's going to need a nice cleaning, and a rig that can power thru some marks, and I have no cleaning rig, and pennies taped to the end of the tone arm might not work so well. So is anyone willing to help out? I would pay for return shipping. Please post or PM. Thanks!

I just hope the radio archive takes it as seriously as the people do. Hopefully the producer that Agustin has been in contact with can help me ... I am now wondering whether the concert would have taken place live or in the previous ... week? Month? and then get edited for broadcast. I've also done a google search for a concert poster but no luck. BTW I updated the google translate page correcting for Adobe mistakes and we get this - looks a lot better: 22.15 Radio uno jazz '80 Coordinated by Adriano Mazzoletti Public Season of Jazz Concerts From the Great Hall of the Conservatory Giuseppe Verdi - from Milan Concert by the Sammy Price Trio. Percy France. Candy Mc Donald Presents Piero di Pasquale Broadcast made in collaboration with the RAI regional office for Lombardy

Sad news indeed; I wish my memory of hearing him live was more fond than it is; it was at a Blakey tribute at Lincoln Center, his soloing was lackluster and at one point I caught him checking his wristwatch. Nevertheless a giant with many fine moments captured on record. I'll be pulling some out today.
-
I sort of did too, when I first saw it, but I'm glad Jim S. recommended it to me it is a nice date.

No, but I applied a filter to try and draw out what's at the upper left, per mjzee's suggestion that it could actually be the Five Spot, and this is the most clarity I could achieve. Nothing.

There are universal players available (I picked up one for $24, Amazon Prime - and if your PC has good speakers, audio/video software VLC should have no trouble playing it.
