Do you know when you have too many records and CD's? When you post a thread wondering if a record will get reissued because you want it or looking for it, and then you go home and discover you already have it. Now has anyone else done this before, forget they already own a particular record? At least I never buy it a second time.

Any guitarists on this board? Which arch top guitar to you like playing or wish you could play? Me, I played for years on a Guild X-500 and artist award.

Thanks jazzbo.

Saw this while on line, but there was no info provided.

If an entire session exists, can you ask if it could find its way to record store shelves?

I was reading something on Phil Woods. He was paid 50 dollars for his sax playing on Billy Joel's super hit "Just the way you are." I bet he wished he would have asked for more money. His solo is always copied when someone covers that tune. Anyone know of any other artists that have been under paid for their work?

Who has the best offers for imports from Japan?

So far I know I will attend one night at the Istanbul Fest. I'll be there when it is going on. I will be in Europe for 3 weeks. Not sure where else yet.

I will be visiting in-laws this summer in Europe. I plan on traveling a bit. Might try to catch one of these.

Can you tell me what number is your Mobley set? I don't think it is near the 7500 mark, but the licensing is near its end.

Anyone know if this Stanley Turrentine session has a future release data as an RVG? It is the only Blue Note session of his I am still hunting down. I've seen it on ebay for $28. I can wait, the days of paying high prices for one CD is out of my system.

I believe Wes would sell. Almost all his recordings are still in print.

Yes they did in the early years. Wes then went out on his own. But this album, "Almost Forgotten" contains a track from an LP which they did for Columbia. They never signed with that label. I wonder if the album could be released, since it was recorded by a label they weren't signed to?

There have been many artists that have a album with strings. Bird, Wes Montgomery, Stanley Turrentine and so many others. Is this an attempt to grab a different audience or a seirous attempt to highlight the artists in a different light?

I believe it was Mel Gibson using a pseudonym.
