Prolly? I'm just a simple non-native English speaker - what does that mean? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=prolly

Van Morrison - BLOWIN' YOUR MIND - Bang (Speaker Corner reissue, excellent as usual)

If memory serves me well, Getz-Sauter's Focus was excellent. the sound engineer was Ray Hall

Damn!!! I almost did it!!! Can't believe it! I was buying some books on Amazon and all this remastered stuff was on every page I looked at, I couldn't resist. At the end I bought them, mono and stereo. Fortunately I was in time to modify the order and I cancelled them. Now I am going to spin my mono White Album, pressing no. 0005734. Amazon is a risky business.

Dino Saluzzi - ANDINA - ECM BTW I got my first argentinian tango lesson this afternoon.

May I have the calendar and the doll without the cds?

Glittering silver vinyl or black? Plain black

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - ORANGE - Matador

Quad? I thought George Martin were too old for one of this:

King Crimson - ISLAND - Island. With Keith Tippett on piano

I'd support a vinyl box sets of David Crosby : THE COMPLETE RECORDING OF 'IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER MY NAME'. 42 HQ vinyls, a 120 pages booklet containing an original essay by Augustus Owsley Stanley III that you can read or lick or both.

Would I be right in thinking that this is the 'only' way to hear Kind of Blue? Matter of taste I presume, the remixed stereo version on the Mosaic is quite good too, to my ears, just different. I don't believe in dogma like this, maybe because I was born in 1962, I wasn't there when KOB reached record's shops, so I am not emotionally attached to one specific version. Bev is referring to the Beatles mono/stereo ho ha. We need an 'I am being ironic (or even sarcastic)' smiley! Not that I'd use it! I know you was ironic, I just passed on it. BTW If you didn't listen to an original mono pressing of KOB you don't know KOB

At last!!! I am going to sell all my Mosaic's LP box sets, plus the Columbia CD sets and the other original and japan pressings in order to have this gem!!! Does anybody need a KOB, original mono pressing?

Urszula Dudziak - Urszula - Arista

Yeah, it's really good. A small manufacturing defect on side 4 but a replacement has been put aside by Lori back at base. Yes, they have an excellent customer's service, Lori is a very nice person.

An excellent thriller writer. I've been through all the Falcon novels, apart from the most recent which is sat on a shelf, waiting to be read soon. Indeed! This is the first Wilson's book I read, last week I was on holyday in a remote Sicily's island and I was short of books, so I grabbed this one in the tiny bookstore of the town.

Robert Wilson - A Small Death in Lisbon

Giuseppe Torelli - Concerto in Sol Minore op 8 - I Musici, Fontana stereo. My uncle gave me this one, and other 10 records of early classical music, from 1400 up to early 1700, very very interesting.

I am here because you're funny guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_ff46b58Hk

Coming back from the grocery store, I had a unexpected desire of REM, so: REM - Murmur - IRS

Actually it was a joke. San Marino is a sort of Cayman Island for Italy: obscure banks, tons of strange companies, so when RC wrote about San Marino I presumed he got 89 per cent of its collection from this: a tax dodger's paradise.

Auguri!

Via KLM? Heard a good BBC radio documentary on that a year or so back. Via KLM, Red Cross, Switzerland, Vatican, Spain, Italy, ecc. Lots of roads for the ratline. It is "fascinating" how the Cold War suddenly upgraded all those war criminals up to anticommunists and freedom fighters. It seems that being responsable of the deportation and death of thousands worths less then being a commie's hater. Though there were some valid arguments for it, from a pure strategical point of view, I think they call it "real politik". What shocked more the author is the fact that some countries like Argentina, Vatican, UK and Switzerland destroyed the archives or still denied access to the documents. In this way our US friends with the FOIA are still a step ahead in the scale of information's democracy.
