Completely agree. With some exceptions.

Does a German first press Columbia EMI 'stereo playable mono' of 'Piper' count? Are you kidding me? I don't want see any EMI on the label

A NM mono first pressing of Pink Floyd's first album. At human price

One could say the same about BN: 'RVG sound', Wolff's art cover, ecc. And what the fact of those countless sessions of hard bop, does music history really need 50 sessions of Art Blakey or 50 sessions of Lee Morgan or 50 sessions of Mobley? CLEM's musical opinions and taste are unquestionable for his asserteveness, so I don't even try to do it. About his question on black dudes, my answear is: Look at world's map. It's really bizarre that young european white players recorded for a young european producer in a european studio back in seventies. Their most obvious choice would have been to give a call to Chuck and ask for the money for a ticket to US.

I just bought a bottle of this Well not exactly this, my bottle comes from Caol Ila distillery and it's a 1995. That will be my faithfull partner for my next vinyl intercourses.

You have to admit that for your cholesterol ECM is a huge improvement. That would be perfect. Don't forget to advise Porthos, Aramis and Athos. Because the pretentious Cardinal Manfred Eichler de Richelieu will bring all his guards with him (and all these boring musicians Like Jarrett, Garbarek Holland and Wheeler). The coward! See you there at six o'clock in the morning. Your faithfull friend d'Artagnan

My thought. And their covers are surely better then most of todays new jazz realases, speaking about aesthetic meaning. But from Chewy's tone I understand that it's some sort of personal issue between him and Manfred Eichler. The best thing for all the members here would be assisting at the duel that will be held somewhere between Northern North America and Munich. I think that Manfred has the right to chose the weapons. About Brownie I am sure that he could find a nice place around Paris, close to some convents, like in the old times of Alexandre Dumas.

My suggestion, since Linn has dropped the production of his entry level cd player.

Funny, in Italy we call it Vin brulè.

It helped to stop my compulsory habit of shopping or bidding online in the middle of the night after too many single malt's glasses. Now i know who actually are those 1 k and more bidders. Anonymous alcoholics. Not me. Since I discovered e-snipe I bacame one of these bastards, and I decide my max bid totally sober.

It was the same. I did't want to hassle those guys at NSA.

China and India has the fastest growing economies and among the largest, today. In the best neighbourogh of Shanghai and Bombay, prices sky rocketed in the last two or three years. If you consider that China is at the moment the second largest market for Ferrari.

Do you think that there is any difference with the real estate in Bombay, Shanghai, Hong Kong or Tokyo?

How do you think I got a record collection?

Ron and Jeff are nice persons, surely the best I found in my history of jazz record's collector. Online shop is a good idea, tough I wasn't particularly dissatisfied with the good old private auctions on paper.

Good ! A friendly relationship and set sale (even if prices are high) that's what we expect from a site. If you know some, would you share them with us ? Ron Rambach and Jeff Barr are working on it. I'll let you know as soon as they are on-line. We may be waiting a long time! Ron does SO well on the high-end stuff on ebay I really think he'd be taking a step backwards profit-wise by selling direct. He hasn't had a "list" in over a year, so maybe he's going to make the next one an on-line only list? Haven't heard about Jeff's website in a while. Is he really working on a "shopping cart" type site? I've no details about it, only the news you got already.

Good ! A friendly relationship and set sale (even if prices are high) that's what we expect from a site. If you know some, would you share them with us ? HERE is the latest one I received . . . Nice records, but he has to improve his website, I think. The best user's friendly option I found on record's dealers website is downloadable lists as Excel or Word file, I prefer Excel.

In italians cities like Rome, Milan and Florence, houses' prices has more then triplicated in the last six/seven years. My explanation is that after 9/11, stocks market wasn't a safe investments for a lot of people, included speculators, so they putted the money in estates. Now the stocks market is growing and there are good forecast and the houses' prices has a stop in the last year. The other face of the coin is that, because of this boom, a lot of people has empty houses to rent. Rent's prices are collapsing.

Actually, it's not by chance that some of the record's best dealers are managing to built their own websites off eBay.

I told you HD LCD and Plasma are craps. Better CRT. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/business...amp;oref=slogin

Since I am not in US, I have no idea of the prices, so check it out before, but my suggestion would be for Triangle (french) and Dynaudio (Danish), I listened to them a lot, my sister got a pair of Triangle, and I used to have a Dynaudio at work as studio monitors. Though I probably listen to some more expensive products of the above brands.

Anyway I presume that there aren't so many quad releases out there. How many years lasted quad systems? Just had a look at wikipedia: 'quadraphonic', oddly stuff Here's alink to quad discography http://members.cox.net/surround/quaddisc/quadindx.htm

Some quad LPs had very different content. For example, Jefferson Airplane's "Volunteers" had different takes for several songs used on the quad version, which were so different from the ones used on the stereo version that it sounds like a different album. But I presume you should have a quad stylus in order to appreciate the full thing. Please say: YES. Otherwise I will start to spend money even on quad LPs.

Usually it is, but sometimes you're loosing the 'nuaces' of the stereo mix, and the soundstage is definitely bigger.
