A borrowed copy on vinyl of The Complete Blue Note Recordings Of Herbie Nichols - sides 1, 2 and 3

My idea of heaven! Diskunion Tokyo

I recently got ahold of this recording and agreed it's a real good one. I'm glad to see many people here share the love.

From the album Oceans in The Sky by Steve Kuhn, his take on Kenny Dorham's Lotus Blossom.

Damn, I'm heading out shortly to see a movie. At least I caught some of this. Thanks for mentioning it.

Interesting to come across this thread since a friend and I were just commenting the other day about the Ten Years After song "I'd Love To Change The World". Words from the opening verse: Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity His comments were pretty much aligned with some of the posters here, found it somewhat offensive. Any issues with this? Ban worthy? I also want to add this link where Knoffler takes on the controversial word in the song "Money For Nothing". Scroll down half way: Money For Nothing

The Complete Argo/Mercury Art Farmer/Benny Golson/Jazztet Sessions - Disc 1

Disc 1

I remember during the late 70's the album City To City getting a huge amount of airplay on rock stations and I'm not just talking about Baker Street. It was a pretty damn good album and I still own it on vinyl. I will defintely be playing this at some point in the next day or so.

John, I tried PMing you but I wasn't able to send it. Looks like your inbox is full? Please contact me for further details on interested items!

While I do hate the snow, I have to say I really enjoyed those photos. Very nice. Temps here on the cold side between 35 - 40 F the past few days and no sign of an immediate warmup. Looks like winter is on it's way.

Happy Birthday, John!

I just heard a track off this album a short time ago and it sounded quite nice. Zoot seems to in fine form and being a big fan, what do you guys think of this release? I already own a good number of Zoot's releases during this time period 70's/80's and think this might make a fine addition.

Yeah, I'm the one to blame. Bill had reminded me of his birthday after a recent conversation via Skype and I forgot to mention it on the forum last Friday. Forgive me, Bill. Hope you had a great day.

Thanks!

Ok, excuse me, dumb question time. The import version is on the Sony label? The reason I ask is that Amazon doesn't state that in the product listing although I assume it is.

I'd take advantage of the coupon except for the fact the last time I visted Borders cd inventory was pretty pathetic. That was some time ago and I don't know whether it's worth a 45 minute drive at this point for just 1 item whether it's a cd or a book. If Paul Secor reads this can you help me out? I'm referring to the store in Wappingers Falls.

I've been picking up a few of Monk's Columbia/Sony releases recently and came across this date and was surprised to see it's OOP here in the U.S. Only available as an import at present. Well, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised with the state of the music industry these days. Apparently this must have been reissued some years back? It would be great to get ahold of this album. Anyone else surprised this isn't widely available, afterall it's Monk. I'd also appreciate your thoughts on this date. How does it compare to his other releases for the Colombia/Sony label?

Montreal with 75!

There's no issue with the fidelity of the recordings, to my untrained ears. They sound fine. It's a nice box for what it is -- a generous sampling (over 80 tracks) presented in an orderly, chronological fashion, and accompanied by a very nice booklet. Just to elaborate on the packaging, the individual discs (at least in my copy) come in those cardboard slips, not jewel cases. It doesn't bother me but you just need to be a little careful in handling them. Sounds like I'm sold on the set. Great value for the money. As for the cardboard slips, really not a big deal to me. I own a 33 disc Haydn symphony cycle with cardboard slips.

My condolences. Sounds like you were a very lucky man to have known her.
