Did anybody here read Stieg Larsson's trilogy? "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl Who Played With Fire", "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest"/"Castles in the Sky", not sure about the last title.

ARLO GUTHRIE - Arlo - Reprise, WLP. BEATLES - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Parlophone, mono. VAN MORRISON - It's Too Late to Stop Now - WB, german pressing.

LOU REED - Rock and Roll Heart - Arista, WLP.

...And how many repertory cinemas? (If the answer is "None" then why move?) Ditto!

This survey lacks one fundamental parameter in order to be really useful for me: how many used record stores and jazz venues there are in Zurich, Bern or Vancouver?

Dexter Gordon - GO! - BN, NY, mono.

Talking Heads - THE NAME OF THIS BAND IS TALKING HEADS - Sire.

Talking Heads - LITTLE CREATURES - Sire.

Obviously it is a terrorist plot made up by fundamentalist muslims. Those inept guys in Iraq looked invain for some strange chemicals stuff and didn't find the real one: the pigs in Saddam's private residences. I mean why there were lots of pigs in a muslim country, even Cheney should have know that muslims don't eat bacon and ribs. Now the real problem is: how many secret pigs Iran and Pakistan own?

About alt. takes and similar, I got the Beatles's Anthology, (three triple albums, or double cds for you, poor digital outcasts), I mean, there could be ages of unrealesed stuff in the EMI vaults, but how much will it really worth? Unless one held a Beatles's course at Harward, I don't see any reason for a blast of joy, a part Hot Ptah's smart post about how the Beatles will solve the worldwide recession.

Nice and challenging thread. Thanks. I'll listen to both records tomorrow, if I'll have some free time.

About younger audience, I don't think they are considered a target by musical industry. I mean that entertainment industry considers them potential buyers of a lot of things, from videogames to extra contents for cell phones, but they aren't the boys/girls who spent the weekly wage for records anymore. So, all these Beatles's reissues are going to play in the cd players, or TT if they think it could be profitable, of wealthier and aged music lovers or audiophiles, whatever you call them. For sure EMI will pump the thing: advertisings, etc, and maybe the Beatles will be the last great selling number of the last music's material medium in the internet and downloading era, but I guess it will be the last dance.

I am not talking about fetishism, I think that, unless you discharged all you records along the CD's era, you probably own several Beatles' albums. BTW vinyl fetishism has much more to do with sex rather then sport.

This would be a really profitable enterprise.

I am with TTK on this, up to Sgt. Pepper's mono is THE mix, Sgt. Pepper's and White Album: you should heard both mono and stereo. BTW I can't believe there are people out there older then fifty, interested in music, that don't own the vinyls, whatever mono or stereo. (or Kind of Blue or A Love Supreme or Beethoven's Ninth Symphony FWIW).

The gentle sound of the undertow on a tropical beach and the jingle of the ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, (Angelina Jolie who's preparing my vodka martini ).

Foley with 'with his famous Blue Marble "Lead Bass.". Damn Wiki!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_(musician)

On the disc 13, July 7, 1988, according to the booklet the players are: Davis, Garrett (sax), Robert Irving III (keybd), Adam Holzman (keybd), Foley (lead bass), Benny Rietveld (bass), Ricky Wellman (drums), Marilyn Mazur (percussions). But I hear a guitar throughout the concert, with some great solos. Is it a guitar, isn't it?

What's wrong with him? BTW I just cleaned the stains from a very good linen sheet, it's a bit old, but still works. I ask 50$. here's a pic of the sheet, (before the laundry):

Savoy Brown - STREET CORNER TALKING - Decca, UK pressing.

WOODSTOCK OST, Atlantic, german pressing.

The Kessler twins were hugely popular over here from the early sixty, and actually they still are. A sort of pop (and sexy) icon of italian economic boom of the same years. wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_Twins

Exactly, I'd thinking about opening a bank account at the Cayman, or maybe in Switzerland...if I'd have enough money to worth dodging taxes.

Did you mean you usually buy softwares?

Teddy Wilson's Mosaic, disc 3.
