From Dusty: Dear Kevin, Thanks for the heads up! We haven't seen a solicitation from our distributor yet, but it sounds like something we'd like to carry. We'll keep an eye out for it. We don't have a waiting list system, but check back on our 'Coming Soon' section.

I just E-mailed Da Bastids (Dusty Groove) to ask them if they're going to carry it. I would rather order it from them if only to save on the exorbitant shipping that HMV Japan is charging.

They want $17 to ship a $17.80 CD to Maine! Ouch. I may have to wait for Da Bastids to get this. Why can't I select PayPal as a payment option?

I gotta get this one. I haven't used HMV Japan in a long time. Should I pre-order or wait? Hmmmmm.

I always liked reading Sandi's stories. Now that the All About Jazz forum is dead, are her little stories gone too? Did anyone ever back them up off of the forum?

I've read that Mark Wilder digitized all of Brubeck's Columbia/Sony catalog and that there were plans to issue all of it in the form of those 5 CD "Original Album Classics" box sets that they started in 2010. The fact that they stopped after 2 boxes would seem to indicate that the money wasn't there. Then when they issued that "The Complete Columbia Studio Albums Collection" box set, I was thinking a "The Complete Columbia Live Albums Collection" was next. I just think the CD market is on its way out.

I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I used to post there regularly until I got into a major disagreement with Mike Ricci over what I felt was a joke done in very poor taste. His attitude was "If you don't like it, leave". So I left and never went back.

On top of this, this title may be one of the ones where the newer OJC pressing sounds better than the original. I've found a few like that.

I do too but i will add that the S3 version (the last version B&W issued) included the improved Nautilus tweeter and should be the version you get.

Depending on the age, old Snells will probably need re-foamed woofers. Worst case, they may need re-foamed *and* new capacitors in the crossover. My friend had some old B&W speakers that improved tremendously when he re-capped them. BTW, that might be what happened to your old Cambridge Soundworks speakers, You can re-foam them too but the grill has to be pried off with a screwdriver. I did it without damaging the speaker but it was tricky.

What a killer band! It's shows like this that make me wish I lived a lot closer to NYC.

Dusty's price on the Mobley was $24.99, which is why I ordered from them instead of CD Japan, who have much higher shipping prices.

I ordered it to hear it in real sound. The cassette I had sounded so poor that I could barely listen to it. While I was at it, I ordered a new (to me) Tubby Hayes CD called "Interlude For Music": https://www.dustygroove.com/item/805241/Tubby-Hayes:Interlude-For-Music-Japanese-paper-sleeve-edition

Is this the same stuff: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/719825? If it is, the samples i listened to sounded a lot better than the old cassette I have. I wonder if I have another date on cassette? Kevin

Single cup of coffee? Why go the Keurig route? Aeropress yourself a cup of real coffee:

I hate it too and it's why I boycott all of them. It's a terrible trend in the audiophile world. On top of that, I picked up most of the Music Matters 33 rpm Blue Note discs and they sound phenomenal so all the talk about the sonic benefits of 45 rpm went out the window. It was really just a way for the sellers to double their profit.

My bet would be that the three TOCJ CDs will sound very similar to the XRCD. The XRCD will beat all the others.

Debating the hell out of of the word "timeless" - so fucking lame. In case you didn't notice, the thread is titled "Yes" - as in the rock band Yes. Timeless or not - this debate has nothing to do with the discussion of the band, Sometimes. this group derails honest discussion in the stupidest of ways.

I really like a lot of Yes's output. I think Chris Squire's incredible bass work sets this band apart. I hear their hit "Roundabout" with Squire's bass belting out the melody loud & clear and I think, "What other rock band did this?". I'm not a fan of all of their work. Sure, they made some clunkers, but the good ones more than make up for it. BTW, I think it's a disgrace that it took so many years for the Rock & Roll "Hall of Fame" to recognize Yes for induction. It's almost like they got shamed into it when Squire died last year and people finally started realizing how corrupt the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame election process was. They have inducted so many non-Rock bands and artists before classic bands like Deep Purple, Yes and Jethro Tull (still not in). I guess they are waiting until Ian Anderson dies before they decide to induct Tull.

Funded! Congrats!!! Now get to work.

Jim - did you go the "Target" or "Non-target" route with this?

I've never heard of this one. How is it?
