Swell thread- I just found it, a bit late in the day. I have some catching up to do! But please, doesn't someone know where the "Bean" nickname came from? I've been wondering for months and have unearthed nothing...

If anyone's got 'em to offer, please PM me. Thanks!

I'm regularly enjoying my green-ringed fruits of Moose's "momentary lapse", and I say it DOES count! Thanks again for parting with it, M.

I know it's a longshot, but I'm hoping someone has cd copies of : Lee Morgan's "The Rajah" Hank Mobley's "Far Away Lands" Jackie McLean's "Demon's Dance" Julius Watkins Sextet Conn Horace Parlan: Speakin' My Piece or Spur of the Moment to trade for: Jack Montrose Sextet (promo) Jack Sheldon: The Quartet and the Quintet Bud Shank/Bob Cooper: Blowin' Country (promo) Howard McGhee/Introducing Kenny Drew Conn All 3 PJs may have minor scuffs but play perfectly, the Montrose & Shank booklets have had promo stickers very carefully removed. No paper loss at all. All other inserts are lovely. The Conn is immaculate all around. Please PM me if you're game. Thanks!

It worked! I'll mail payment asap. Thanks!

I'll take that, if it's still available- green ink and all. Tried to PM you, but got an error message! Let's hope this works...

Thanks! I'm certainly on board. I can't seem to send a PM due to some sort of STMP socket error, though. Please drop me a line if it's available!

Certainly that's gone by now, right? If not, I hanker...

Mosaic's out of the booklets and boxes, so I'm hoping someone has extras to part with. Thanks!

Wouldn't it be swell if every digitally mastered but currently oop Blue Note title were available for download at Blue Note's website? I'd gladly pay for the service, and you'd think that would be an economical way for a label to make back-catalog stuff available. Does anyone know why this hasn't happened yet?

Too late to be counted, I figure. But I need to get this out of my system: Just ten?!?!? That's tough. I might have to cheat a little bit. Here goes... 1-Ike Quebec: The Complete BN 45 sessions (2 disc) 2-Lou Donaldson-LD+3 3-Louis Smith-Smithville 4-Tyrone Washington- Natural Essence 5-Leo Parker- Rollin' with Leo 6-Fred Jackson- Hootin' and Tootin' and now I cheat 7-Duke Pearson-Profile/Tender Feelins 8-Curtis Fuller- Two Bones/Vol 3/Bone and Bari/The Opener (why is Curtis so neglected? Have any of these been reissued stateside except on Mosaic?) 9-Thad Jones-Vol 3/Detroit-NY Junction 10-Jackie Mclean-High Frequency/It's Time/Consequence Of course I'd be delighted to see these as RVGs too. Don't even get me started on me RVG wishlist. Is there a thread for that?

Thanks! I too enjoyed the cuctus. I'm also enjoying Monk finally peeling out in that wagon. He'd been sitting still in it way too long. Nice graphic!

That is creepy. I should've waited a day or two! As for the covers book, I'm using the small one. Enlarging and reducing, everything looks swell as a 4.75" square. And Up and Down is great- but Happy Frame of Mind is better!

For cover scans I've been using Graham Marsh and Glyn Callingham's Blue Note Cover Art book and my scanner. Sure, there's a few covers that aren't represented, but not many. Here it is at Amazon: click The really small ones need to be scanned around 150% and resized a bit in photoshop, but they look swell. And as the original topic goes, I've got Boss Horn, It Might as Well Be Spring, Cliff Jordan, Turning Point, Like Someone in Love, True Blue, Little Johnny C... I think that's it. Two from the remarkably efficient and reasonably priced EJazzlines, the rest from an eBay seller called spanichi, whom I purchased from directly after losing an auction. They are ugly little blue things, but they sound swell and they're a bargain. I just wish I hadn't bought the Toshiba Up & Down before I discovered them!
