Not bad for the agent either, $120 thou a year for twenty years for something he handled in what, the '90s?

How's that for a simultaneous quote. Smart move by the Yankees at this point even if they somehow squeak into the post-season. They paid little for Chapman and flip him for a lot of raw talent that their minor league system usually lacks.

And apparently Theo pulled the trigger but he didn't ink Chapman to an extension. He gave up 4 prospects plus swing-man Adam Warren for a two month rental plus the playoffs. At least it wasn't Schwarber, and the headliner is a shortstop who is in A ball and blocked by two guys in front of him. Still a lot to pay but it definitely changes the late-inning equation. Better to put Aroldis out there than to face him. GO CUBBIES!!!

PM me your address and its yours.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll just chalk this one up to the vagaries of vinyl. Anyone want a warped copy of JR Monterose, Lush Life on Progressive?

What the hell is going on with Chris Sale? He doesn't like the throw-back uniforms so he pitches a fit including taking scissors to his jersey and now he's suspended by the team for five days? And, will they move past this or could this precipitate some huge trade now? Supposedly they turned down a 'king's ransom' already. And, I hear that the Cubbies might get Chapman from the Yanks, without including Kyle Schwarber in the deal and it wouldn't be a rental but is predicated on signing him to an extension? Me likey, if Theo can pull it off.

Thanks John. Since I am not known for extreme patience what about horizontal and using weight/gravity? Or is that a major boo-boo with vinyl?

Is there any way to de-warp a record? If not then I just got a lesson in purchasing an LP sealed since 1979 or so. As always thanks in advance!

I will definitely listen to the Monterose and report before I get to this, latest purchase:

Jay McShann - Cleanhead - Ben Webster 3/10/69 Antwerpen

And that will do it. Thanks to all, I'm heading to eBay to do some Paypal-funded purchasing.

Thanks to everyone for their payments; I'll be shipping on Saturday, and I will leave Memphis Convention available at $12 until Friday then the offer will be withdrawn.

And I just pulled the trigger on copies of Blue Minor, his tribute to Sonny Clark, and Song for My Father, too. Blue Minor piqued my interest and I was amused to see that a Google search brought me right back here:

Wolfgang's has the Jazz Record Mart stock listed (well, some portion of it): http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/sellers/jazz-record-mart/608.html Just received JR Monterose Quartet, Lush Life (Progressive) I'd hesitate to recommend them at least for their shipping practices. The LP plus two CDs got me a $9.50 charge for 'standard' shipping which turned out to be Media Mail. Not only do they not make it clear that you get Media Mail (the alternatives are two-day or one day options) but jeez, same three items from the Bastards would be less than $9.50 and that would be for Priority Mail.

Sugar Hill Bebop Band (McLean, Byrd, Drew) Bologna, 2-23-90

Cannonball, 3-24-63

Continuing with Joe, its the Piano Jazz broadcast then Umbria Jazz Fest 7-11-87 (might be '89, can't trust my scrawl)

Thanks for the warning! I checked on Discogs right after posting, that $10 copy looks tempting.
