I've got some beaten up copies. It's like a personal curse, never to be able to find decent ones.

Just discovered this thread. Useless. BTW I have a piercing of my left nipple, I swear.

Damn, this movie will skyrocket the price of the original first pressing of their LPs. The first one was around 300$, and I always missed a NM copy. The answer to Catesta's question is: a BIG YES! Go back to school!

Talking about visual FX, I don't know the consumer's stuff, but in professional one, morphing is hugely improved and simplyfied in the last years. Basically for the web low resolution the sofware does almost everything for itself, when you decide few parameters: speed, smoothness, anchor points, ecc. The more complex is the morphing program, more parameters you have: like lighting, shadows, ecc, but we are talking of 3D professional sofware, (the first software strong enough for film resolution is the one used in TERMINATOR 2, AFIK, in fact they basically wrote the movie for it). It was the same when they putted out a good special FX for fire. A lot of movies about firemens, BACKDRAFT comes to my mind, and much more explosions in action movies. This is a simple static 2D FX, so not really complex as you could imagine. For me the biggest work in this video would be to gather and resize all the paintings, chose the more suitable. More a job of an art's expert then of computer wizard. And yes, a great job.

That reminds me when, after Zappa's death, his family dismantled his personal studio, Utility Muffin Research Kitchen. They sold on the Zappa's website all the stuff: from Accuphase amplifiers to some "infamous" Telefunken U47 mics (infamous if you have listen carefully Joe's Garage). I bought from them all the Promo copies of vinyl that the record's companies gave to Frank. So, when I am listening to Roxy And Elsewhere I put on tt a record that lived for more then twenty years in the Frank's house.

Yep, for a youtube post is a lot of work, and yes, "old" isn't necessary bad, but... The thing I appreciate more, having a degree in History of Art, is that, commonly, painters were working more on the previous paintings, aka painted women, then to real woman/model. The choice of paintings is perfect for a iconographic study. In other words, I would use it as tool in a History of Art class for this purpose. If I were in a Film/Video Editing class, I wouldn't show it to my students. BTW the morph and the music are out of sincronization, IMHO.

Nice and a great job about iconography. More interesting for the history of art then for the video aspects. I am not such enthusiast as most of you seems to be, because "morphing" is considered an old FX, among special effects. Lots of similar and more interesting stuff in the so called "video art" of the late twenty years. It's cool being the "Chuck Nessa" of the situation sometimes.

Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street Emarcy, mono.

You'll find some opinion on the first page of this thread.

Some of them are better, to my ears. Exhibit A - Booby's 'Happenings', where there is distortion on the mono pressings (at least every one I've heard). The stereo NY USA is great ! Actually I noted that on most of NY first pressing, (I mean not a NY reissue of an earlier label) with a proper set up, the coherence of the soundstage is excellent. At last Rudy learned how to record, mix and master a stereo record, I presumed that's the reason because his stereo's Impulse! of the same period sound great

Because of the voice, not the words spoken. You're probably right. The sound at the end of the instruments is like the prolongation of the human voice, after a while you're aquainted to it. The very same process every child came across: recognizing different human voices and stick them to the real person. Very interesting, both from a pure psychological POV and a more cultural/estetic/technical one.

A question I always would have done since I joined the forum. Why can I recognize Trane or Jackie Mac or Sonny after three notes without knowing nothing about music, technically speaking?

I have the Classic vinyl reissue, never listen again after I bought it. I'll do it now: just to check if is "warm and "tubey" sounding." Tho I have a tube preamp so I presume most of my records sound "tubey". When did Classic press this? You're not thinking "Bossa Nova Bacchanal" are you? I'd love to have a Classic pressing of this... No, it's Soul Samba. I don't remember when I bought it, I just discovered it's OOP. BTW It has a "tubey" sound, tho all my other Quebec's original pressings sound pretty "tubey". I am listening a NY mono pressing of Heavy Soul and "Nature Boy" is pure lush tubey

Yep, they started to sell consumer's "solid state" electronics since fifties. At those time you could still buy a Lexington pressing at your local store. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor#Introduction

Yep, you're my man.

Maybe the reason he wasn't called that often as a sideman? Edit: or maybe the session was going too straightforwarded for his creative mind and he was bored.

Jackie Mac LET THE FREEDON RING, NY "ear" stereo. After the fine tuning of my TT and system I discovered that these NY stereo RVGs don't sound bad at all. And they are definitely cheaper then the monos.

About Capitol Record Club pressing. I have only the first record of Country Joe MacDonald And The Fish, I bought it to replace my worn own original Vanguard pressing. I have to admit that the sound quality on this particular one is excellent. Don' know about jazz records, surely an original RVG is more colletible, but the sound of the Capitol pressings might be very good, at least in this case.

I would add that advanced technology in recorded music, radio and amplification systems slowly replaced one of the primary reasons of the proliferation of Big Bands: DANCING. Along with changing in the public taste, obviously.

...I add a great smile to my neighbours, hoping they will promptly call the firefighters.

Yep, "New Thing" stereo Impulse! Lps are going cheap on eBay, obviously downloading is cheaper, as the sound. Go for it in any format anyway.

BRAHMS' Double Concerto, Oistrakh/Rostropovitch/Szell, Cleveland Orchestra Emi UK pressing

I think I agree with your friend.

I am just listening Doctor 3 (Danilo Rea:piano, Enzo Pietropaoli:doble bass, Fabrizio Sferra:drums) playing a jazzy version of Sgt. Pepper, tv broadcasting.
