Actually, I would give the saxes at a Jazz Museum as loan, I couldn't resist to play a couple of notes on Trane's soprano now and then.

In occasions like this I would be richer... http://www.guernseys.com/Auctions/Jazz/Featured.html#

Interesting story. What about Hank Jones? Did he simply enjoy the elevator's show, or did he intervene in some way?

I did it!

LARRY YOUNG CONTRASTS BN stereo (DEUTSCHE PRESSE)

I found this box set at my records shop: DUKE ELLINGTON: THE ELLINGTON ERA 1927-1940 VOLUME ONE COLUMBIA C3L27. 3 records Red Mono Mabel. Do you have any info about the sonic quality and the tracks. Are the RCA recordings licensed? Any infos are welcome

Forgive me if I don't honour JS, but I have to react at bad news so:

MILES' THE MAN WITH A HORN

I am with Blake: my sister is a non professional classic guitarist and she had the same problems/limitations you have and she got a Linn Classik. Brilliant piece of audio gear, if you like Linn sound, I do. With the appropriate speakers sounds gorgeus and you will not have any problems for ages. The only limitation is that is a red book cd player only: no dvd, no sacd, no mp3. If you can live w/o new format...I couldn't live w/o old format (vinyl).

JOHN COLTRANE "Ascension" (Impulse stereo, "version 1") The great thing about the more avantgarde Coltrane's recordings is that you can find pristine original pressings, maybe the previous owners did not listen at them very often.

Thanks Chuck! A part the sound quality, the german pressings are long lasting vinyl in my experience, I didn't need to replace any of them with a cd, and I am talking about more then 20 years of listening with every sort of turntable. I am still buying used german pressings and they are usually great, like my old BMW motorbike, no one can stop it!.

I am used to the high quality german pressing of ECM vinyl. I noted that on several on line US shop there are a lot of ECM records at good prices, lets say NM records under 8 dollars or less. Since I don't know nothing about the quality of US pressing (US ECM are pressed in US, are they?) , is anybody out there that have more experience? I was asking myself if it worth waiting for german pressings, usually more expensive, (at least in italian shops) , or if I can spare some euros.

I have the same problem with Ebay, the US auctions end in the middle of the night, and I have to sleep. Usually I wake up in the morning and check on ebay I lost the auction for a couple of dollars. Damn time zone!

Jackie McLean "Let Freedom Ring", NY stereo

McCoy Tyner "Today and Tomorrow" Impulse mono.

I suppose your friend was affected by that recession.

You got the point! Original pressings, jazz and rock, are more musical for me. Maybe I loose something in term of musical detail, but the experience is more satisfiyng. I have some Classic reissues of Led Zeppelin, they sound great, I can even listen to the hand of Jimmy Page sliding on the guitar, but in term of emotion the original Atlantic stereo pressing (1841 Broadway) are unbeatable. If you want to hear some of the greatest mono pressings try to find some unboxed Decca lps (UK) of the Rolling Stones and John Mayall.

Congratulations! Where are the.....

Used condoms. I started collect them more than twenty years ago when I was a teenager. I put them in a plastic bag with the name of the girl written on it. I hope to get the second piece of my collection in the next few weeks.

Does this actually count as a job? Yes, if you aren't allow to drink, but you have to spill countless pints!!!

1 barman 2 worker in a slate factory, (do you know that under the green cloth of billiards there is a slate?) 3 underpayed factotum for an eviromentalist association 4 projectionist in movie theater 5 camera assistant for underwater and overwater photography (documentaries) 6 sound recordist for documentaries 7 run a company of documentaries production 8 sell the above company at the best price, the hardest job of my life! and at last 9 free lance film editor for broadcasting in companies owned by other people

Roland Kirk "DOMINO", Mercury

For a funny concidence I have two copy of SPLHCB, Parlophone mono pressing, and I enjoy them very much. I have an original mono pressing of "Hard Days Night" too, and it sounds great. I do not totally agree about MFSL, I own some of their stereo pressing of the late Beatles albums, and IMHO they sound good. I am not a fan of japanese pressings in general, they sound great, but they are not cheap and lack the "smell of history" of original pressing if you can understand what I mean. Talking about rock music I try to find US original pressing for US artists and UK pressing for UK artists, when the prices are impossible I go for cheaper reissue in decent condition (usually european reissue). Anyway the Beatles discography is pretty small compared to most of Jazz artists, I would go for originals, consider it a presents for you birthday, in a few years you will get all Beatles Lps.
