THE CANNONBALL ADDERLEY QUINTET PLUS - Riverside, mono. Am I particularly unlucky or the quality of vinyl and pressing of the Riverside's records is usually lower then BN, Prestige and other labels? Nice music, anyway.

MAJOR Brian Auger fan here! Don't have too much by the Trinity (a best of) but have most or all of the Oblivion Express albums. "Closer To It" is my fave. I just listened to their first album, the only one I have, and I enjoyed it. I'll try to grab your fave, on vinyl , when I'll got the chance. Never listen to it. Now listen: JUNE 1,1974 - Kevin Ayers/John Cale/Eno/Nico and The Soporifics with special guests Mike Oldfield and Robert Wyatt - ISLAND Pink Rim Uk pressing.

Nope, didn't know that. Not suprising to hear though, based on what I heard of his playing on 'Black Saint'. The boundaries were very fluid between jazz, pop, folk, experimental over here especially around 68-72. Harold McNair and Danny Thompson are two good examples of musicians who keep appearing in all sorts of contexts in this era and there are quite a few others. Yeah, Danny Thompson, great bass lines in every context I heard him. If you think that Pentangle, the champ of brit-psych-folk played Mingus...great stuff...and beautifully recorded and mastered on these gorgeous Transatlantic vinyls. I should get some of them, if you haven't them already. Marvellous sounding stuff. One of the benchmarks I use to test my hi-fi components.

She's sometimes to be seen at gigs around these parts Porcy - especially when hubby Keith is giving one of his piano recitals. Keith a part. I think that some her music and Auger and Ayers, ecc, suffered of a big exposure for very short time and then it disappeared in the "underground prog obscure ecc" bins. Everytime I go back to their records I discover how innovative they were. At times in U.K. AFIK there wasn't such difference between Jazz, Folk, Blues, Rock, ecc. you can find the very same musician in totally different contests. And it worked pretty well. It was just "MUSIC", and such great music. You surely know that Jay Berliner, the guitarist of The Black Saint of Mingus is in Van Morrison's Astral Weeks. I love when "label" falls down.

Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and Trinity - STREETNOISE - Marmelade, UK first pressing. A must for every open minded music listener, and for all the organists over here. And a beautiful great album.

I haven't a fish tank, but I am a scuba diver, so I can say I love to watch fish. In the family we had some fish and byrds, but that was befere we had a couple of cats.

It happened I was looking at "FULL METAL JACKET" dvd last night, and I noted you're in Texas...so just a bad joke, my fault, sorry. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0093058/quotes Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Holy dog shit. Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks? BTW the same joke was used before in AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN where Former Marine drill instructor turned actor R. Lee Ermey coached Louis Gossett Jr. for his role as Sgt. Foley. Lee Ermey acted in FULL METAL JACKET as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. I don't remember wich state was in AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN, surely not Texas. I presume it's a standard procedure written in Marine Instructor Manual: mocking everyone who's coming from a "country" state. Clifford is a nice name, tough I still prefer Sabina (my wife's name), and Thornton is the name of John Wayne's character in Ford's THE QUIET MAN, and I love John Ford's movies. So no bad jokes about your name. ...and don't forget the beers with the milk, darling

Hopefully she isn't a secret jazzomaniac and logging into boards like this ! My secret is revealed... I loves you Porcy! Why this hawful nickname and why Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Thornton. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck d...well, maybe you're right, I spend too much time watching old movies and drinking wine, sorry 'bout that, sugar. Don't forget to buy the milk before coming home. And...overall I am not really upset that you're coming from Texas.

King Crimson - Earthbound (Island UK pressing)

I decided that we must have this thread after I heard the one I am going to post. "It's easy to be a faggot with someone else's ass." (with my maximum respect for gay people, I though that a more politically correct translation would have lost the impact).

Aha ! Battersea Power Station. I lived there for a while ages ago, my ex-girlfriend had a room just in front of the Park. Nice place...and nice girl, black deep eyes and long long curls, sweet memories. I am going to spin some Van Morrison, just for her. No need to explain the choice to my wife. A small secret between me and the forum

A used Linn LP12 goes for much more then the budget required, expecially if you have to replace the cartdrige. I lived happy for a long time with my Thorens TD166 with his tonearm, a Thorens TP 90, I think. I replaced the cheap Stanton cartdrige after a couple of years with a Sumiko. And it sounded great. Four years ago I bought a new LINN front end, power supply, phono stage, cartdrige, tonearm...and it's another story.

Monk is unknown by definition. That's why we love him.

Pink Floyd ANIMALS, I don't listen to it since it came out, better then I would expected after all these years.

Wich amp? Often auxiliary outputs downgrade the overall performance of the amp. Unless your amp allow you to switch between them like soem MacIntosh, I presume. The loading of speakers sum together and can drastically push the amp to critical clipping. Theorically you should have a four channel amp to have the same performance at the same time. Anyway my suggestion would be a small speaker easy to drive, with a stable loading around 8 ohms.

I got the very same pressing, with "ear", unplayed, with original jacket and inner, for less then half this price. so I am a less then half dummy.

PayPal surcharges aren't legal...mmmh, I saw a lot of this stuff on eBay. Nor sure about it. Legally, if you write it down in a contract, almost any clause is legal. The payment's instructions are pretty clear. So when you bid, you subscribe the auction's term, including the surcharges. It's not a case that a lot of serious sellers are moving from eBay to their own websites, or use eBay as a simple way of promotion.

Thanks Daniele. I keep saying I need to buy this thing but everytime I have some money to spend I can't help buying some more music instead of investing in this book.... You have to buy it, otherwise one of these days you'll discover that that awful expensive first pressing of Jackie MacLean is actually a cheap third pressing.

Get a Goldmine Album Price Guide, a good start for dummies, tough not perfect. Not reliable about price and some minor mistakes when record companies switched labels. Minor flaw. http://www.amazon.com/Goldmines-Price-Coll...9/dp/0873412885

Why am I not suprised? Now spinnin VAN MORRISON - Moondance - Original UK WB first pressing, red label. This too sounds better then cd.

1975...those were great times for vinyls...and girls

FWIW, there is a gorgeous sounding, tho pretty expensive, vinyl reissue on Speakers Corner, for you poor guy who haven't an original RVG pressing. http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_det...9&sct=music

With a small delay I pay my tribute to Sgt. Pepper. Parlophone, mono.

This is the very same argument I used with my son, and it worked. Unfortunately I have one piercing...so I couldn't use the same argument for piercing. At the moment my son has two piercings.

Weirdo ...and it never makes sound the metal detector of the airport...
