Really? I've got a few, bought many years ago at about £3/4 each. 'NY Fall 1974', 'Montreux/Berlin'. Those were my favorites. Shoulda kept 'em but was paring down the collection at the time. I always forget that these were at one time on CD. I can't speak for their rarity in that medium, but the LPs are usually under $10 and very common. It would be nice to see the material issued in a CD box set form. In fact, I might just wait until that happens to get this stuff back.

Again, I'll prop this one: Reece at AAJ

These are cheap in the states. I had all of them at one point but had to make room, figuring it wouldn't be hard to buy them back. It isn't. If it's vinyl you want, I'll keep my eyes out.

The only reputable dealers in Italy I've run into are bullsite2000 and Roberto Castelli/qbico. I'm sure there are more than these two, but at least I know they're legit.

LOVE the new avatar, Rooster! Ghetto Music is among my top LPs.

Too bad it was an off night. Even into the 1970s, his output was very strong. He's an interesting character, and was a blast to interview...

Those grackles have GOT to go...

Oh, it will. Must be that I've spun too many punk records lately...

Hey, thanks guys... I'm going to go home early from work, take a nap, get some bbq with a gal and do some self-damage at my favorite watering hole later with a few friends. Mellow, methinks. Sadly, my tt is on the fritz so it's been CDs all weekend! Again, thanks for the well wishes!

In Florida? My ex-girlfriend also went to HS with "Marilyn." Then, his band was "Marilyn Manson & The Scary Kids." No lie.

I don't think we all think that way. Personally, I could give a damn. I just want to hear some tunes.

Apparently, they had to make way for Kate and Pete's weddingshambles...

Wonder if he's sippin' cough syrup while driving...

Happy Birthday, Nate, from a fellow Capricorn! Jeez, I still owe you some Dixon burns don't I?

Is CT really having that much trouble finding people to play with him?

Am I the only one here who would rather talk about her dad?

It took me a bit to get this figured out as well. Between Lon and my boss at work, we got it going. Basically, from my PC, I right-clicked on the link and scrolled down to "Save File As." Depending on what you've got, you should be able to save it as an audio file to your desktop. From that point on, I was able to rip it to a CD. So if all else fails, PM me and I'll make you a copy.

Well, at least the labels are okay!

I'll be damned if I know...

Yeah, that's a really good record. I wasn't convinced of Parker initially, but I've changed my mind.

You are right on Moondoc, marcello. The trumpeter is Arthur Williams, not Baikida Carroll. Arthur holds his trumpet exactly like that. The mystery drummer is most likely Rashid Bakr.

Wasn't that obvious from the get-go?!?

Considering how fucked the post is right now, I would not doubt that it'll show up soon... DGA are easy to work with.

Right clicking did work for me, as per jazzbo's note.

D'OH! [slaps forehead] I got Clifford Thornton and Clifford Jarvis confused. But obviously Jarvis loaned Thornton his drum set that day. I wouldn't be surprised if we find a companion picture of Clifford Jarvis playing trombone. Or--wait--was it tenor sax? No, that was Clifford Brown. Unless it was Clifford Jordan on trumpet? CT played cornet, valve-trombone, percussion, piano, shenai and flute at various points. Just not the drumset, as far as I know.
