I trust that none of it is previously unissued, right?

Michael definitely won't consider the unissued tracks for a Mosaic, at least not as a single Mosaic set. Said it would be akin to putting out "The Worst of The Three Sounds - The blue Note Years."

This seems like the right place to mention that I got an email from Michael about some suggested organizational schemes for Three Sounds Mosaics (someone here suggested them but I can't recall who) and his reply strongly implied that he is indeed anticipating doing the '58-'62 Three Sounds, in three Selects.

Obviously neither of you bought your Organissimo discs through them.

See, that's where I disagree ... bad trades are part of the game. No one knew Ruth would revolutionize the game the way he did - and there are plenty of other cases of horrible trades. Don't you think the Cubs might have won a Series or two if they didn't trade Lou Brock? So, for me, I've never bought into any of the so-called "curses" except one: If you throw the World Series, you'll never win it again. THAT, my friends, is cosmic payback!

I can't believe we're discussing this. There's something called kharma, folks, and the Black Sox fucked up their kharma for all eternity. THE TEAM THREW THE WORLD SERIES They will never win it again. Count on it.

Well, i don't know how I could have known that, but I still managed to insert the same three names from Rod's last contribution, but you've moved on again without me ...

Murray the K Pamela Z Doctor J Um, you ended up being two behind, but ironically left me with someone that can be connected to the point where we split off ... Magic Johnson Houdini Claudia Schiffer

agreed. both teams are certainly due Yeah, but there's a reason why the White Sox will never be allowed by the Baseball Gods to win a World Series. They're the only ones to throw a World Series, and they are forever cursed because of it.

Thanks for the links, Claude. That Playboy panel discussion looks interesting, though I have to say that on first blush, its hard to imagine a 100% commitment to absolute truth in that kind of public forum. But I haven't read it yet, so that's just an instinctual thing. Its certainly interesting that in the first few moments, Duke states that he doesn't think that drug addiction is an occupational hazard for the musician. Hard to agree with that when you consider how many people thought it was the junk that made Bird play like he did.

I like the way you think!

Sorry, got confused, went with the last name instead of three new ones, with the first one connected to the last quoted one. My bad, but I won't make that mistake again.

Well, the Sox blew one in Tampa Bay again. Then again, I'd rather be a game out of first than in sole possession of last place, and its already official that Wright is headed for the D.L.

I was just proud of my connection from Duke to a classic SNL sketch.

HEY! How come mine was a dead end?
