  1. I'm always surprised when LPs I bought new when younger sound a little less pristine than I remember them. Hell, I had a roommate in college who just put my LPs - including a rare Ray Russell title - back in their jackets without sleeves. That didn't last long...
  2. Whoa - wonderful story, thanks for sharing!
  3. Ummmm.... These are great! Keep 'em coming... Enter the 36...
  4. Assume this is a boot and therefore not linkable on the boards.
  5. Whatever happened to porcy62? Seems he hasn't posted since last October.
  6. Who's got two thumbs and is starting off a review of a new David S. Ware CD with a story about eating pie with Cooper-Moore? This guy...

  7. I much prefer the Maya method - funding the label through occasional limited releases that sell for more than your average album. Just in case I can't follow this (or am busy), can you provide a very brief summary - I don't even understand who won or what they won... Thanks in advance... Whoa...
  8. Seems to crop up more often than 500 copies would indicate. But I suppose those who bought copies out of Goldmine for $500 in the 1980s are flipping for more dough now.
  9. Haven't heard that one before, but Spence is awesome.
  10. Yeah, they're all real good - just popped 'em into iTunes before the move.
  11. Given that someone once told me I deflated the value of many of my LPs by putting my name on them (they often co-habited with a radio library), wouldn't collectors find such Carfagna/Wojick actions devalue those discs? Discrete enough; I have a few and it doesn't bother me.
  12. These four promo-stamped CDs are for sale: Devin Gray - Dirigo Rataplan (Formanek, Eskelin, Ballou) Travis Laplante - Heart Protector (solo tenor) Ches Smith & These Arches - Finally Out of My Hands (Halvorson, Malaby, A. Parkins) Chris Speed - Endangered Blood (Dunn, Noriega, Black) SOLD
  13. That stamp is from Dante Carfagna, a dealer in Chicago. He always stamped the inside of his LPs with that. He's a good guy and a little odd (in the best way possible). Rick Wojick (owner of Dusty Groove) stamped the back of his personal records with a pointing finger before selling them.
  14. Peter Schat - Signalement - (Phillips) From a Percussions de Strasbourg 21e Siecle vinyl.
  15. I'd appreciate it if people didn't say, when I mention moving to New York, "oh, you're going to have to work five jobs just to eat and you'll never have any money to go out and you'll be miserable." Why assume un-resourcefulness as the default?

  16. Never Turn Your Back on a Friend, MCA German pressing
  17. Interesting alternate cover. I didn't know about the session with Spanky DeBrest before...
  18. Audiophile vinyl freaks: please buy the new The Weird Weeds LP, mixed/mastered by John Dieterich. Sounds freaking incredible cranked to 12:00 on the stereo. Clearly all those attempts to blow my speakers with Aaron Russell's Who albums worked wonders.

  19. Bitch Magnet/Moss Icon tickets (2) just purchased. At the very least, October 25 will be a good evening.

  20. Thanks for the Miller clarification. Yes, I am a bonehead sometimes! I assumed the way you're saying re: Thelin is pretty much correct, though Tay-lihn rather than Tay-leen. At least that's how my Russian friend who's spent time in Sweden says it.
  21. Harry Miller? I'm serious... would it be pronounced like an 'ummerican or in a Dutch/ZA fashion?
