That's the one I have... there's also an IPS reissue with a red label (same jacket). The suits kill me though.

What wrong with Maria Schneider? Didn't you like "LAST TANGO IN PARIS"? Ha! The Passenger was better... what a hot piece of

It would be cool if both Nommo and Live at Yale were on CD. The total time would be a little over 60 minutes. But whether Milford gives a shit about reissuing them - or spending the bread to have it done - is probably not likely.

Original masters should be preserved and not re-used. They are cultural heritage, indeed. Duplicates are for re-pressing the recordings; Chuck would know more about this. But I will say this: If you're going to spend the "big bucks," buy an original, a decent Liberty or a nice King pressing. I don't know what the "ideal" sound is on these Hoffman things is anyway, and nor do I care. I am a follower of music, not stereo test situations. This whole thing is niche marketing bullshit, designed to re-sell the same titles over again to people who don't know or don't care about what's actually "out there" to listen to. I'd buy five new CDs on Ecstatic Peace before I'd buy a Hoffman reissue, and two Maria Schneider records before one Classics reissue.

IMO, Alderson did just fine... But those are my ESP ears talkin'!

That's volume 1, a whole 'nother story... Nommo looks like this: or this:

It's called "archiving." The current commercial CD issues could remain in print, right? If you want vinyl, buy Classics or buy used.

Guess somebody'd better start one! Get on back here, DP...

Chuck's point is right the fuck on. It gives serious justification, beyond the fact that these things just ooze ridiculousness, to why this whole thing is pointless (beyond the cash-in, of course).

Right, the suit-jacket cover is preferable.

Oh, I forgot about that - the date Fiddy and Kanye's CD drops!

That is a fair price. I like it myself...

And if Steve Hoffman masters it, it's... 5 x Monk x 5 x Lacy x 5 x Lacy x 5 x Monk!

Sorry dude, I wasn't sure if we were dealing with a tautology of "ideals" or not...

Huh?

I nabbed a few things this week... some I have in other versions (i.e., Feldman), but hell, it's less than $4 a pop.

That's Alexander von Schlippenbach's wife...

The grab-bag continues... Pandit Pran Nath - India's Master Vocalist - (Shandar orig) with La Monte Young and drawings by Marian Zazeela, of course. My flatmate really loves this... (not quite)

I don't have the Moserobie dates. Wallin was, and is, great (IMO). You should be on top of his work, melodaloc.

Crime - San Francisco's Still Doomed - (Swami) Indeed...

Takehisa Kosugi - Catch-Wave - (Iskra reissue)

Plus, you can always apprise dealers of the situation if they prefer not to sell to those with less than 99% positive feedback.

I would buy all of them in some order or another...

I thought Appelbaum worked for LOC.
