Can anyone verify that Clifford Scott was called/promoted as "Mr Honky Tonk"? I know there is a late record called Mr. Honky Tonk is Back in Town but I wanted to verify if that's a true nickname, post the 3 million seller recording? As always thanks in advance.

Makes me wonder if Gene Harris got the memo and had the leverage or not ...

So I guess the money that Herbie plunked down just to show the salesman he could buy such a car, it must have come from Mongo's cover of Watermelon Man? I see that recording was also in 1963. I can't imagine the money came from Alfred ... but maybe?

I never listened for it and have never heard it. This from someone so attuned to used LP transfers I hear clicks that no one would pay attention to ...

I totally disagree about consistency ... too many great bits to count thru the whole film - debating the merits of the Roman occupation, "he's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" ... the different names of the resistance groups - it's all great. to top if it off, Holy Grail gets stupid with the ending, whereas Brian is one of the great endings of all time. Not to mention "I'm Brian of Nazareth, and so's my wife!"

Was the list free-form suggestions or pick from a larger group pre-selected by the editors? I don't think anyone should be surprised about such a list and I actually disagree that the gift of a 40 year time span should automatically make a material difference, not in the eyes of a group of readers of a publication about a niche genre. Now, if you had a critic of some repute to look back and pick "most influential" or something maybe he comes up with a different and/or more interesting list. But in the "wisdom of the crowd", you get exactly these types of results.

I thought maybe post-election and pre-December maybe the PO would pick up its game but it doesn't look that way. Four days to get out of Jersey City, the armpit of the Superfund State in the Union. I guess I should be glad it was a box stuck there, and not me. But I better disinfect the crap out of it when it finally shows up.

Cano suspended entire season: https://www.mlb.com/news/robinson-cano-suspended-for-full-season Pathetic - and two more years to go at $24 mil per.

It's being offered at $20,000 less than the last sale price?

Who knew CDs can be "Hot Stampers" too?

If I had to guess it's gotta be the rarity of the "Manhattan Records" credit on the back of Blue Train. That early digital transfer was da bomb. Right?

Theo leaving the Cubs, Jed Hoyer to take over reins. Which leaves me with one assumption: next stop has to be Cleveland, right, to end their frustration? He punched his ticket to the HoF with the Red Sox and Cub championships but if he did it in Cleveland too ... that would be ridonkulous.

$40,000 added to the price for verifying its bona fides. I guess that's the cost of doing business. And I think you re right, stem to stern except it ain't a g-damn boat anyway!

Well I see plenty of cars around this vintage that people take out on sunny weekends. That's a lot of money to keep it garaged or under a cover. What gets me is that as I get older "antique" car plates go on vehicles that were kinda pieces of shit when they were new. If you have a Pacer that runs, can you get antique plates for it now?

Well I am guessing any potential buyer gets to test drive it. Didn't they have power-assist steering by then? Are lap belts legal if that's all they had back then? I have to assume so ...

The article says 90,000. That is truly a gorgeous vehicle but it ain't worth $500,000 when you add in dealer prep and CA taxes.

I watched during the run but never thought of acquiring DVDs. I think the two episodes I liked the best were the Cops rebroadcast, and the one where Catalina is back in her hometown and Randy is trying to prove his love or something and we got "Eye of the Tiger" on an acoustic guitar. That cracked me up.

I believe there was a SuperSax album with Sweets as the featured soloist. I think I paired it up with the Joe Williams record as CDR two-fer. I enjoy them both.

Thanks. Ironically, this site https://esquirecover.club/ from this thread http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/85720-esquire-records-covers-club/#comment-1709444 Is, I am coming to believe, almost perfect for me ... from the front "door" that you scroll to open, and especially the sort of horizontal rolodex/flipping to go from one picture to another. Wonder if that's a plug-in/option with BoldGrid.

Increasing interest? Dmitry and Randy leave only three months empty for 2021.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

I don't own a single CD from the last two decades that their readers picked. I think I bought the Nora once, as a requested gift for a family member.

Thanks Matthew. There would be ongoing updates for at least a while since I plan to go live before everything is acquired.

Anyone have advice on webhosting and web page development options for someone not particularly technologically skilled ...I see so many companies offering free template this and that, most seemingly geared for e-commerce. Any suggestions welcome ... it's not going to be a super complicated site, basically a splash page to 1) photos 2) several separate text/photo pages 3) discography I need the ability to link seamlessly to youtube videos and site-hosted audio clips. Alternatively has anyone priced website development from those in the field? Up to $500 might be possible but anything above that ain't gonna happen unless I win the lottery or find out about a long-lost dead relative, and the latter has equal or perhaps worse odds than the former. Thanks!
