Yes, the seller has a good reputation and they always put nice shit up on eBay. They're friendly and knowledgeable, and the store itself actually offers pretty good deals.

Yeah, Lacy's shit didn't start getting out of hand - at least on record - until the Candid LP. Still, Soprano Sax is scarce in a clean original form.

"KA-POW!!!"

He just blathers on and doesn't talk about anything. Sure as hell isn't selling it to me...

Hard to get for less than $100, though I think mine was on sale for $84.99 so... How is your Toshiba laptop, chew-chew-chewy-bean-benitez? I had one for about three years that crapped out; I'm on my second goddamn Dell and it's about to go also.

I have a 250 GB Maxtor, and use it solely for backup. If I'm not actually running things off of it, is it less likely to fail?

She can stay the hell away from my fixed-gear...

The drummer is rather bombastic, but the tenor player is pretty great. Fusion-y, in the "British" sense.

Can also give this one a !

I don't know if that's been proven, or if anybody has any idea how long they will actually last. 100 years? We're not even there yet.

What you say has the ring of truth, Chris. My first thought upon reading your prognostication was that people would want to collect "hard copies". But upon reflection, I think the audio fidelity will have something to do with it too, just as 50s LPs are sought after, while 80s LPs are not. Just to clarify, a lot of '80s LPs - especially in the punk and post-punk genres (not to mention 45s) - are quite collectible and rare. CDs have been collectible for a while now, especially some of the Japanese discs which are limited and almost instantly OOP.

Utopia Forum!

Was it Baystate that also put out the Solo Max LP? I've never heard that, but it looks major.

Hank Mobley - Workout - (BN Liberty stereo)

I was never willing to pay more than $40 for this. Guess that's why I don't have it...

Stay tuned at AAJ.com for my lengthy Barry Altschul interview... indeed his first as a leader is smokin'! I thought somebody in Japan reissued those CBS sides on CD, but maybe I'm wrong. They are great as well.

Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue - (BN Liberty stereo)

I think a surprising amount of people do. I don't see a lot of love for Circle, even among avowed "free jazz" heads. Can't understand why.
