When I clicked on the link, they also tried to give me a $44 sourcing fee... oof!

No money = no honey.

Damn, dude, you sure go to a lot of shows.

A Grammy for the "best" improvised jazz solo on record in a year? Give me a fucking break.

Feh.

Sirone.

I'm not seeing an alternate on gokudo...

A.R. Penck - Afrika Para Noia - (Weltmelodie) whoever this uncredited baritone saxophonist is, he's good.

Code 81 in Aisle Seven!

Funny; I think that a few of Mojo's choices are actually good ones. I'm partial to the first 10 ECMs, but there are others that are top notch.

I didn't know there was a style other than that damn face-in-the-cup cover.

David S. Ware - From Silence to Music - (Palm) Especially dig the unaccompanied solos on side two.

My copy of Duke Pearson's Wahoo has the back cover label affixed upside down. Not uncommon; I've had one like that too.

Yup, the one I was looking at had 19 discs at $50. This was the same guy who had a Mercury box of Bach's cello suites (Starker) for $100. I should have nabbed that one as well - never gonna see a deal like that again!

I almost bought one of those sets at a good price, until I saw it was missing one of the LPs!

P-Vine are often pretty limited. I thought it'd be around for longer, though.

Yeah, that's what I have too. I'd like to get the one with Charlie Mariano as well. But yes, Tyner's Blue Note run is pretty sweet. Glad to have all those.

Oh yeah, I agree JS - music is pretty much what you got when the going gets rough - and I think it probably is for everybody on this board, myself included. Then again, maybe I wouldn't be as broke as I am if I took a breather on buying old Blue Notes and so forth...

I'm not an audiophile, but I don't want crappy-sounding records either... admittedly, a hammered early BN pressing might still sound okay, but I'd much prefer a solid, crisp King issue or a frickin' CD and avoid the hassle of skips, crackle, etc. Should we be concerned, chewy?

I'd take Brownie's advice as well. Most of these I have in King or Toshiba Japanese pressings (at least the 1500 series). The Van Gelder Liberty's of his 4000 series LPs all sound good, so I can vouch for those as well. The early Mobley BNs have been at the $1000+ mark for years with no sign of slowing.

Oh, that's out now? Had heard rumors that something might happen.

Lucky bastid!

What a good listening day you had. And a good deal on the Dixon - I saw a mono go for nearly $100 recently. Too bad Judith Dunn wasn't credited for the liner notes, which are very informative. That LP just gets deeper with each listen - you are in for a treat.

That "East Coast Cool" stuff with Allan Chase is real nice, too.

I'd be interested to hear it in mono. Unbelievably great record.
