I have a copy of this. Most definitely a bootleg. The sound is somewhat poor, but worth having for the musicians on this jam session.

All the best Guy. Many more to come.

How about having a web site showcasing your band? Have everything on the website that the press kit would have. It may be easier for club owers to just go to a web site.

Try not to run into these fellows. They guard the entrance to the afterlife. I took this photo at a museum. They was an exhibit of Chinese culture.

Booker Little Thelonious Monk Wes Montgomery (only if he went back to playin what he did on Riverside.)

no, it is important we hear the whole story- this is this mans life and the whole thing is relevant-- Yes, I'll agree. But what I meant was, his remarkable playing of the past is what fans judge him on, and not this somewhat poor sounding recording near his end. Yes the whole story is relevant.

I wonder why other record companies didn't adopt this process, or did they?

Wow. I want to remember Hank of the 50s and 60s and not like this.

Thanks for this information.

Does anyone know the amount of time a LP can have on a side?

I do want them, but knowing they are bootlegs explains how they were floating out there. The record company and estate had no say in their release.

I didn't know these were bootlegs. I boought them online and didn't think about these being bootlegs.

I recently picked up a limited pressing of music of Frank Sinatra that was never release in his lifetime. Listening to it, you can understand why Frank probably didn't want this issued. Some of this music is okay, but some of the other tracks should have been left in the vault. These tunes are somewhat dull, and Sinatra doesn't always get it down perfectly. I wonder if it is greed of the estates that put something like this out, or record companies; maybe a little of both. Also I wonder if it diminishes the artist's legacy. I another example, is the Charlie Parker Complete Verve recordings. I for one don't want to hear 10 seconds of his horn having reed problems.

So true. Backups are the way to go to ensure if the master copy failes you can use the backup.

WASHINGTON – New digital recordings of events in U.S. history and early radio shows are at risk of being lost much faster than older ones on tape and many are already gone, according to a study on sound released Wednesday. Even recent history — such as recordings from 9/11 or the 2008 election — is at risk because digital sound files can be corrupted, and widely used CD-R discs only last three to five years before files start to fade, said study co-author Sam Brylawski. "I think we're assuming that if it's on the Web it's going to be there forever," he said. "That's one of the biggest challenges." Shows by musicians Duke Ellington and Bing Crosby, as well as the earliest sports broadcasts, are already gone. There was little financial incentive for such broadcasters as CBS to save early sound files, Brylawski said. Digital files are a blessing and a curse. Sounds can be easily recorded and transferred and the files require less and less space. But the problem, Brylawski said, is they must be constantly maintained and backed up by audio experts as technology changes. That requires active preservation, rather than simply placing files on a shelf, he said. Full Article

I forgot all about Spartacus. That was another great film with Kirk Douglas.
