thx, that link freezes my browser. At redtrumpet.com I see a link to a "mini-LP sleeve store" but that brings up an error msg too. I will keep trying it. Thanks very much.

anybody know where can I find simple high quality vinyl slip cases to fit mini-LPS, similar to those for LPs? No flaps or adhesive, real simple. Thanks very much.

I love my Cambridge Model 88. There has to be one on Ebay. The company itself used to dump goods there.

RE: QUIT CRYING, YOUR TEAM'S OWNER IS PROBABLY A TOTAL LOSER, BUT HE/SHE WILL DIE SOMEDAY If the other owners want parity, they should let go of the antitrust exemption, and then get the moving van packed and ready for Mexico City, London, Caracas, wherever. Make baseball a global sport, intra-competitive economically, and there could be gobs of money for every existing team, if that is what they (the owners) want. They probably crave Yankee money more than success, because they can't possibly be giving out $50m+ contracts thinking this is a good way to build a team. Over-expansion and really bad ownership is coming to roost. Why couldn't the Rangers go bankrupt anyway? Wouldn't that have been for the greater good of the game? There should surely be a few National League teams (Cardinals, Dodgers at the very least) to rival the economic power of the Yanks and oh yes the Red Sox. Look at the Tigers and the Orioles for case studies in formerly excellent franchises that were squandered by bad ownership. The owners are mostly idiots, so quit crying about the Yanks, they are not the problem. Your team's owners are the problem. Last time I checked, fans in Miami were still pretty tickled with how things worked out last fall, and that was not a fluke, it was a formula that took some brains and patience. The game is played between the lines, and excellent teams still only win 6 out of 10 generally speaking. So if your team is only winning 4 or 5, you've got a shot too. Just tell your owner to quit signing bad free agents, avoid 5 year contracts, draft as much good pitching as possible, and be patient. Hire good scouts too. Back when their owners were idiots, the Yanks sucked too. The Yanks were un-watch-able in the early 90s. Not just bad, unwatchable. It happens.

Think about the incremental gain of A-Rod vs. Soriano, its got to be a little less painful for Boston. And they keep a great SS and a slugger. They might even be the favorites w/ new pitching. I think the loss of Pettite could be substantial, you hang on to great AND good lefty pitching, always. If the Yanks see too many lefty bats in visiting lineups, and there is weakness on the mound, forget it, especially in this new muscle era. They'll be losing a few 8-6 games like they used to in the 80s w/ Winfield, Mattingly and Ricky. I'm surprised nobody is talking much about 2nd base. I would be thinking about keeping the middle strong. How about moving Jeter to 2B and letting A-Rod have SS, George?

Cecil Taylor - Garden part 1. I cannot find a trace of this anywhere on CD. I promise to buy it legit when it becomes available again. And there must be something I can do for you. Thanks, Dan

tons of dupes here, these are different media, for totally different situations. But now I am starting to eye my dupe LPs as a source of cash. Having to run to my chair after setting down the arm is a real drag. I love the LP sound and experience, but I am concluding the ritual is not really worth the effort. And I love random access and the ability to enjoy CDs anywhere.

I do hope my family will stick to this: Death Don't Have No Mercy from Live/Dead during the processional into the pub, and then Saint Stephen and The Eleven as soon as the hocus pocus is over and the barkeep yells BAR IS OPEN!!!

I don't have that Fuller LP (too bad The Opener is expensive/rare in top notch condition), but I bought an almost full Hill set, missing only record #2 or #3, not sure but I know it is the sides w/ the master take of Black Fire and all of Smokestack. That wouldn't be what you're waving around now, is it? Potential thread here - the not-complete-Mosaic-LP sets. I snagged an interesting one awhile back for $60 -- Jones-Lewis Orch set, w/ LPs 1-4, box and booklet.

Go for it Geoff. You seem articulate, opinionated, and well-reasoned, all fine w/ me and many us I suspect. In fact, how about checking out and possibly writing up my favorite trio record and an under-valued treasure, by the great Jaki Byard: Sunshine of My Soul. btw - for those of you who are skilled and driven-enough to listen to, research, and write-up old jazz and rock, and the personalities involved, Mojo wants to hear from you. You might be surprised at the motley of authoring there month to month.

Mmmmmmm, this is may show up today, according to DMG.

Will CBS overhaul that Big Band set and put it out nice and spiffy, w/ unreleased music and upgraded sound? It seems like a big hole in their updated Monk reissue series.

Re: Garden 2 It is out there to be had. I got a copy from Cadence a month ago. Has anybody seen Part 1 anywhere?

For me, it's Ascension. Incredible passion, a trip through many minds all at once. My favorite musical swirl. And it helped me to enjoy so many other kinds of out music. Play It Loud.

To an earlier point, I hope more of the Lost Quintet emerges soon, but I fear there isn't much in the vault anyway left to be heard. The Sony edition of Miles 1969 (an Antibes fest boot tape really, supposedly from Chick) is what really put my interest in jazz over the top "way" back in 1998. It's obviously not psychedelia, but the hypnotic intensity and the seamlessness betw the themes is more than a little psychedelic-seductive. Want to kill an hour in what seems like ten minutes? Try Miles 1969.

Jerry Garcia Band (um, before he died)

I'm going to be a lumberjack when I'm 60, give or take a few.

I like Murphy's Enarre. And he is really awesome on the Black Saint Trio Hurricane session. Don't know the Eremite of same trio. Downtown had another 10 copies as of Fri. night.

Downtown says these came in and sold right out. Has anybody seen this anywhere else in NYC? Has anybody listened to it yet?

Try Nutty from Coe/Oxley!!

Joe McPhee's Oleo is due for re-release in Feb-04, according to the Hat website. But if you click on the CD cover, in order to review the back cover info, it looks as if the reissue cover was printed up in 2002. Does anybody know if the label went and did up some/all covers for reissues, well ahead of the remastering work? I'm only asking to try and determine whether they are holding new/reissue product back until their channel ships/clears more inventory. They are sitting on a lot of great stuff that I am suddenly listening to over the past year.

Celebrate leadership and your better half; be humble about the beast within you, and everyone of us. I haven't been to D.C. for awhile, but I remember the neighorhood on Capitol Hill that burned after his death, and much of had not been rebuilt by 1980 when I lived there. Ditto areas of Newark. So just think about what the struggle, the "dialogue" would have been like without MLK. This man diffused a potential civil unrest of vast proportions. If he were alive today, white America would be lining up to kiss his ass as the man who saved this country from another civil war. MLK stepped up to lead with a message of defiant integrity, to somehow peacefully unleash a forceful shame upon white America. Amazing, and it was happening before his murder made him a martyr. Anybody who doesn't believe in this day doesn't think much about the pace of progress on racism, and public education for that matter, before and after MLK.
