Why was Ebbets Field falling apart? It's the same age as Fenway Park. Was it shoddily built?

Did you just buy LP cubes and mount them individually to the wall with anchors?

And yet Pam Smart (a woman) is still sitting in jail 27 years later, serving life in prison for accessory to murder while her husband's actual (male) killers are all free. It makes you wonder if maybe she was a man...

I don't get why this forum seems to mess with the aspect ratio of some posted photos but leaves others alone. I assume that is what happened here and not that your wall is leaning in on the left.

Exactly!!! But if I start with $960 Million, it'll take a long time to get there.

If I win, I'll be opening a combination Jazz club/wine bar. Admission will be cheap and you'll love my wine prices.

Yeah, you're right - I should just be happy that the Red Sox are winning. But I really can't muster up much love for David Price after all the stuff this stiff said about Dennis Eckersley. If he was an NFL football player, he would've been cut by now but because of baseball's crazy guaranteed contracts, we're stuck listening to his shtick for another 3 years.

I'll assume that this Japanese seller is typing in Yen values and not realizing that it's coming up dollars. Still, even with this mistake, 20,000 Yen is $177 US dollars - still a crazy asking price for this CD, which does not appear to be very rare.

I was told by a club owner that he was having trouble and he pointed me to this: https://www.gofundme.com/ken-peplowski Hence, my concern. I am very glad to hear he's back playing and playing well.

Especially since the Red Sox are still on the hook for this: Year Age Salary 2019 33 $31,000,000 2020 34 $32,000,000 2021 35 $32,000,000 And that's after paying him $30,000,000 for the last 3 years. One of the worst signings in Sox history.

Which "not-horrible start"? Are you talking about game 3 against the Astros where he pitched 4.2 innings and gave up 4 earned runs or game 2 against the Yankees when he pitched 1.2 innings and gave up 3 earned runs?

David Price is a terrible post season pitcher. He's 3-9 with a 5.04 ERA for crying out loud. One win does not make him Cy Young. Remember, before this game, he was 2-9! And the Red Sox are paying him $30,000,000 for this.

Yeah, he has certainly put on a few pounds these days but then I look in a mirror and... well, I guess he doesn't look too fat.

Controversy and scorn? Nah. I'm just pointing out that Simon is not badly singing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" because it's a song that he wrote. He's doing it out of spite. Paul Simon is just a dick.

That's a good one! I haven't spun that in a while. Time to rectify that.

This thread is going to cost me some money...

How is Benny Golson's "Turning Point" and has that material been issued elsewhere? BTW, that Joe Gordon material was added as a bonus to Art Blakey's "Blakey", which was reissued in the Verve Elite series. Excellent stuff.

Did they send you just the disc or a new CD with corrected artwork? I only ask because I can't find a picture of that CD backer without "Blues For Tomorrow" on it. BTW, I don't really need the corrected CD because I have the "Blues For Tomorrow" CD.

I think I saw that guy painting the walls here at work last week.

Did OJC ever issue a corrected version of this CD? The originally issued CD (the one I have) has a bonus track, "Blues For Tomorrow", which was the title track from the Riverside compilation of the same name. Unfortunately, that's not Herbie Mann's track - his track was "A Sad Thing". "Blues For Tomorrow" has Gryce, Coltrane & Hawkins - none of whom would ever be confused with Mann.

Not that it addresses what you're looking for, but I am wondering if you have or have heard the RVG CD version of this recording? I think it's one of the better sounding RVG CDs and it has 3 alternate takes. If you just want the music and not that particular CD, you should be able to pick this up cheap.

Bull Moose has it on pre-order for $27.97: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/27978873/charles-mingus-jazz-in-detroit-strata-concert-gallery-46-selden-5cd-set I'll order it from them and pick it up in the Portsmouth NH store.

Do what you just did with 5 LP titles from those same locations and report back with your success there. The used LP market is a total crapshoot. Even places like Dusty Groove don't know how to grade used vinyl. At least broken jewel cases can be swapped/replaced. Don't know what happened with that new one but I imagine you can return it for another one. Was it a CD-R by chance?

I'm with 100% here. Never been an overall fan except on infants because it's makes it easy to change their diaper.

The key word here is "wrote". That has always been Art Garfunkel's song. Simon may have written it, but Garfunkel made it the hit it was. You're right it's one of Simon's best written songs. It is not, however, one of his best performed songs... for like... forever. He's tried to sing it in a different key but it just doesn't come off right. I think that's another reason why he hates Garfunkel's vocal treatment: he can't hit those notes so he really can't do it without Art Garfunkel.
