How much of it has seen the come out independently of that box, in those or newer masterings? There was the 1940-42 (Blanton-Webster) 3 CD set, and the 1944-46 3 CD set. Much else?

Rita Lee hasn't been with them for over 30 years. They have been os mutantes for far far longer without her than with her. They have another woman singer now. I saw them at the El Rey a year or two ago, missed their full concert this time but caught their record release gig at Amoeba Records, and bought the new album. I agree, they are kickin', and having a great time, and if you go, you will too.

Wow, both the Dodgers and Angeles won in their last at bat, each starting a rally with two outs already against them. Love it! Freeway series!

I was at yesterday's Dodger-Cardinals game. Man, that was amazing. The sort of game where, as we left, we hi-five strangers on our way out of the stadium. But it really looked like a loss. Two out, no one on, the reliever just got the two best hitters out. The crowd didn't have a lot of energy or noise - it seemed to have gotten spent when Wainright got out of the loaded bases jam in the 8th. There weren't many towels waving on the pitch that Loney hit to Holliday (although there were plenty in the 8th and in teh rest of the 9th). Holliday says he lost it in the lights. Whatever reason, it looked like the 3rd out, and then the ball just bounced off, and it seemed like destiny after that. Casey Blake's at-bat was really the nail-biter right after that. Count 1-2, then he fouls off a couple, and then draws the walk. Just amazing. Went with my brother, and he said he probably thought that was the second best game ending he has been at, but he was at the game in the 1988 World Series when Gibson hit the homer (with my other brother, mom, and aunt - I was in school in Boston, screaming by myself in the college lounge). Freeway series!!!! :-0

I've seen him multiple times in a jazz context but have not yet been able to get tickets to see him in his Wilco context. Just saw him at the Angel City Jazz Festival with the Nels Cline Singers (no vocalists in that group though). He's fabulous and has an excellent stage presence in these contexts. I've seen him at All tomorrow's Parties with Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth, and at Angel City he was with Jeff Parker from Tortoise. It was painfully evident in both cases (particularly with Parker) how superior Cline is as a guitarist, in his ability to listen to the others and respond in a superb improvisation.

Yeah, that's why I avoided going. And I live about a mile from Rockaway. What sort of jazz things were on sale?

I picked up an extra Don Pullen at Amoeba Records, new (I think; it had the extra layer of shrinkwrap that Amoeba puts on new sets). I listed it at Amazon Marketplace, but then Amazon wrote me and blocked my account for reasons which they won't divulge, due to "related links"! That's worthy of a whole separate thread. The find you guilty but won't tell you the offense or the evidence. Since I've never sold anything on Amazon, nor haave I ever been remiss with a payment, I'm stumped. But in any case, should I eBay it, half.com it, or offer it to any of you interested folks? Maybe $80 ish? I was hoping to get over $100, really need the money, but the hell with it. PM me if interested.

I caught it in Los Angeles at Angel City Jazz Festival. I don't have the titles handy. they also did "Out To Lunch," which I think I might have preferred to any of the previously unknown titles. Their set also got cut off by the hard curfew at the Ford Amphitheater at 11 pm. That said there was some very nice themes & playing

But the SACD version of this will save jazz, even though no one will buy it.

I thought that was all Paul. No? One each, George, John, Paul. Forgetting the order.

In the stand alone Past masters, sitting here by my left hand, the following 4 tracks are mono: Love Me Do (original single version) She Loves You I'll Get You You Know My Name and all others are stereo, unfortunately. I'm gonna wait for mono versions of the first few albums. I did pick up Past Masters today (obviously) Revolver, and Magical Mystery Tour. Also a note at the back - everything taken "from the original stereo or mono analogue master tapes with the exception of 'Love Me Do' which was remastered from a mono disc."

Hi Victor, Great to hear from you. Far too long. But it's true. I have so much more than I can listen to. I'm trying to thin my Mosaics.

I was planning on swinging by Amoeba later today and could take a stab at doing the same. Meaning if anyone wants to commit to one, I'll pick it up for you and ship it, etc at cost. Amoeba tended to sell these for either $45 or $50, plus tax. UNless they already jacked them today, but I would think they'd be too busy with the Beatles release. or maybe I should just buy them for eBay. I saw Os Mutantes at Amoeba yesterday, by the way. Delightful set. They actually have a new album out, released yesterday. There's one to go for!

Oh, I know, but not even those should ever be destroyed.

This is ridiculous at the plant. No more masters! What they hell? Why would anyone at a plant, even when changing whatever, ever discard masters? Another sign of the lack of archival concern among the music companies. Or, maybe they had to throw everything away at the plant to make room for new Beatles remasters pressing. Yet another example of how the Beatles destroy music!

I went yesterday and it was excellent. Looking forward to today. was particularly impressed by Dave Douglas & Brass Ecstasy (a very fun set to end the evening) and by the Satoko Fujii Four. I had never heard of the latter before the show (although I had heard Mark Dresser and Jim Black, on bass & drums in the 4), but they really played superbly and wowed the house in their late-afternoon slot. Superb interaction among them.
