I recall a copy of Hustler that had a scratch 'n sniff of the adult variety.

Totally agree, and with a great setlist too ... two tunes from Consequence, a couple of Tina Brooks ... very enjoyable all the way around.

From the NYT Obit: Sayers later likened his 59-yard touchdown run to a slapstick movie chase and claimed he had run past Bubba Smith, the huge Baltimore defender, three separate times. Sayers called it “the greatest run of my professional football career.”

And here I sat, thinking that the odds had to be pretty low that I was the only person aware of this record ... looking forward to that review.

Seal it up in a box with a bar of ivory soap or any soap without scents and shit added. Give it a couple of days, might take a week though. I was advised to do this when I bought some vintage Christmas ornaments on eBay from a "smoke free" house. Completely reeked of cigarette smoke it was awful. But the soap bar in the box did the trick perfectly.

The final was 54-20 so they weren't all "needed" but almost all of them were things of beauty.

I've recently spun a new purchase of this into the PC but no chance to listen yet.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/bears/ct-gale-sayers-chicago-bears-died-20200923-4lv2wfxcangajgbcaiyiwbcnna-story.html Have to wonder what kind of career he'd have had under modern medical care for knee injuries.

I think anyone who has his heirs utilize Dusty Groove should make sure their LPs have some identifying mark .... so that someday a new owner might come here and post about the markings on their LP(s). Bonus points if someone is still here to say "I knew Felser! Well, only online ..."

I have been thinking that *if* I received a terminal diagnosis I would want to spend a lot of time giving "final spins" to a lot of music, and might also take time to separate out the wheat from the chaff, as it were, for my wife. (If I had a bucket list it would be short to non-existent.)

Good you don't have the 'Rona. Not Good (source: Axios):

I think the nose is subtly different from the cover photo ... but it might be.

Would be great if this tape exists in issue-worthy condition, especially since we know he digs Grant:

We can only hope ...

Hope you enjoy it ... I did keep a burn for myself just didn't feel like I had to hang on to the vinyl so I passed it on ...

I mentioned this a couple of times in other threads since I got it a week ago; I haven't taken it out of the car CD player since it went in, and listening again now while working - it's that good. Turner made a few records with McGriff then joined Basie, but this is straight up bebop of a very high level. Ignore the discogs listing which says something about Basie alumni in the group; the rest of the group is Red Callender, Gerry Wiggins and Dennis Mackrel on drums. Wiggins is fine of course but Turner gets most of the solo space. In a summer of some major "seemingly unknown recording" discoveries, this ranks at the top, impossible to choose between them. Does anyone else know this record? If you're intrigued there are cheap copies at discogs, though I would recommend, while they last, seller CADNOR, the former Cadence North Country, which has new copies for $8.99 plus shipping. Mine had no warping due to shrink wrap and played perfectly.

Except that I do believe its supposed to be FRISKY.

This is becoming an interesting question to me ... I've been looking at jazz in used record store racks since 1988, cannot really say I've ever seen a copy of The Sidewinder. You'd really think they would be all over but if so, where did they go and when did they become scarce? I am pretty sure I've seen a few copies of Rumproller though ... I used to object to BN slapping on the "Finest In Jazz" mark on non-Blue Note reissues, but I actually never knew that this reissue program actually was also used on BN vinyl and pretending they were PJ issues. I've only seen PJs reissued with these covers.

Agreed. And loving Ben Riley's frisky drums.

I believe that late in life he split his time between jazz conferences and porn industry events.

Well yeah that would make sense.

I am not connected to Shipp but there was no problem reading everything he and others wrote on his page.

Joel Fass has a nice remembrance of Crouch up on Facebook:
