Because it's been outta print too long!

Not half as good as it looks on paper, sorry to say. I'd rather like to see Stanley's first one, "Look Out!", which I've never heard. Also the Minton's dates are great, but I guess I won't downgrade from regular CD to cactus... ZT is good but not as good as one would expect, you're right. Still, it shouldn't be out of print. But Look Out is absolutely swell indeed. Good call! And while I'm here: The Rajah and Far Away Lands need to be back on the racks...

Top of the list should be Freddie Hubbard's Here to Stay. And Mobe's Another Workout. And ZT's Blues! And yeah, more LD, as there's not enough out there, and I'm sure the royalty money would be most useful while he's alive to spend it!

that looks yummy! It is! With the exception of their Hennepin, which is merely good, everything they brew is amazing. And reasonably priced, too!

Rollin' with Leo. I knew there was something else worthy rattling around in my head. Just needed a beer to coax it out. Ommegang Trappist did the trick...

Wish list, off the top of my head: A Date with Jimmy Smith (both volumes on a single disc), Jimmy Smith at the Organ (ditto), and Jimmy Smith & L.D. And add my voice to the High Frequency and Natural Essence chorus. I know I'll be back with more once I've spent a little time with my thinking hat on.

I noticed that there wasn't even a download button for the 10", just the LP which includes all of the 10" tracks. That may have changed, but was the case a few weeks back.

Agreed. Also Lou Donaldson's Here 'Tis. Why LD has only one RVG to his name is mystifying. (It seems like most other living artists (Silver, for instance) have more RVGs out to collect royalties off of.) Ditto Fuller, but at least his catalog's only 3 deep. I figure Cuscuna's holding back the LD material so as to sell more Mosaics (but that doesn't explain Here 'tis absence!). Hopefully the Mosaic's good royalty $$ for Donaldson. But a big Hell Yes on Here 'tis! I can't think of a better organ groove LP...

On Sundays it's Chet Baker Quartet w/ Russ Freeman. Sometimes on other days too. But it's tops on a Sunday morning.

I only have the Grachan Moncur III Mosaic Select version, so I'm no help Edit: Bad fingers today

Yep, it's you. Thanks, Scott!

$35 includes shipping. Discs/cases as new, slight wear to slipcase and a light bump to lower right corner of booklet cover. One catch (or two, really): I can't mail it until Thursday. Sorry! PayPal only to bungeye5@bellsouth.net

Prayer Meetin'? Sermon? Cool Blues? I can't choose...

I don't have a full list handy, but Fuego, Sunday Mornin', The Big Beat and Music from the Connection were July, Think! and Judgement were part of the August batch. ← Link to July August also include Oblique and Time for Tyner.

Looks like the July batch of RVGs got skipped. The JOS is an August one. Crap!

My favorite thing about this non-story is the announcement email a friend sent with the subject line "Set Phasers to Fabulous".

For some reason it took until this morning for the magnitude of Rosa Parks' death to sink in. It's the death of a folk hero. That doesn't happen often. There aren't very many living folk heroes, are there? It's bigger than ex-Presidents, sports heroes, all of that. Huge. Just thinking. S

I've had 3 Bunn machines in a row and wouldn't use anything else. Except for the French press, which I break out when I want high-maintenance joe...

That's the first of those 3 reprint issues, from '73 if I'm not mistaken. Hang on (...rummage, rummage, rummage...) That one was out in Nov/Dec '72.

In 1969, the Legion was still appearing in Adventure Comics (where they'd been appearing continuously throughout the 1960s), but by 1970 they had been moved to Action Comics as a backup feature. They were later moved to Superboy as a backup (with #172, I believe), and then Superboy became "Superboy and the Legion of Super Heroes" with number 197, in 1973. There was also a 3 issue, reprints only LSH title in 1973. No, I'm not consulting any reference material, I actually am that big a geek.

The Legion of Super-Heroes! THAT'S the one. Used to have (or have access to (via the neighbor kid) -- I forget which), the very first 8 or 10 issues the Legion of Super-Heros, circa 1969. Probably nothing truly great, in the wider spectrum of comic books -- but I sure did like 'em. ← The birth of the Legion, 1958: Expensive Funnybook Nothing truly great? Depends on your definition, really. There's a huge cult of LSH fans out there...

The Legion of Super-Heroes!

I don't know what's in print in the US now, but yes, there's lots of Hugo Pratt out there. Catalan Communications published volumes of it. Great stuff!
