I really hanker the Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions of Ike Quebec as a 2 disc Conn. Gets my vote every time...

Dang! Looking forward to your getting the OK. The Big Beat? Here to Stay?

Well there you go. Chuck, I had a feeling it'd be you that came through with the definitive answer. Thanks!

Post liberty take-over. I had a vinyl copy at one point and it was a property of Liberty issue. I think it started off that way.

I dunno, but Cape Verdean Blues was pre-liberty, Jody Grind post.

I just picked up a handful of bargain BN wax, all Liberties, but 1st press I think. The earliest is a copy of Rough'n'Tumble, which says Liberty on jacket but has an NY USA Label. Next is Stick-Up, which says Liberty everywhere, and Like Someone in Love (didn't realize that session was held back for so long) which is also Liberty everywhere. So which BNLP had the first Liberty Jacket, and which had the first Liberty label? Anyone? Thanks!

Mogie's The Sixth Sense was a SBM McMaster.

Elliott Smith's Pretty Mary K

Snap.

Crap! Anyone got a spare copy of this one sitting around?

A new low, I think.

This thread's ended up being funny despite Aric's starting it. Good work fella!

Sly & the Family Stone: "Everybody is a Star". Donald Byrd's "Lover Come Back to Me" from Off to the Races. And I can't not smile when Mogie's solo starts during Blue Train's "Locomotion"

The "I Dream of Jeannie" theme. Looping endlessly. Gonna be a long night.

Just about any Stevie Wonder from '72-76. Joy commited to wax.

Horace Silver's "The Natives are Restless Tonight".

Chet Baker: Prince of Cool is also MIA.

The Stylistics' "Betcha by Golly Wow".

And next I got "Rock Me Amadeus". I am now very unhappy.

Oh thanks. Never would've come up with "White Wedding" on my own

Mine, all morning long: Blue Magic's "Sideshow" alternating with "All the Things You Are"...

Concord Records, Inc. has announced (12/1) its acquisition of Fantasy; the two companies have been merged into a new entity called the Concord Music Group, Inc. During the lengthy negotiations this summer and fall, longtime Fantasy president Ralph Kaffel has noted, "we got to know the principals and key employees of Concord quite well, which reaffirmed the correctness of our initial judgment that Concord is the proper home for our catalogs. Having spent fifty years in the record business, 33 of them at Fantasy building up the catalogs, my primary concern--as well as that of the other principals--was that the acquiring entity should have the proper understanding and respect for the treasure that we are turning over to them, and be willing to perpetuate the historical legacy these catalogs represent. With Norman Lear, Hal Gaba, Glen Barros, and all the other talented people now at the helm of the Concord Music Group, my colleagues and I are convinced the Fantasy catalog is in very good hands." Crap. We're screwed. Edit: read more, including the post this was copied and pasted from, here.

The world became a stranger place a couple years back when the TV tried to sell me an SUV using the Buzzcocks "What Do I Get".

Q-Tip: "Back in the day when I was a teenager/before I had status and before I had a pager/you could find the Abstract listening to hip-hop/My pops used to say it reminded him of be-bop/I said now daddy don't you know that things go in cycles?..." Indeed they do.
