Well, if it means anything, these speakers are not made in Hope, AR. This model is made in China. This does not necessarily mean that they suck, only that they are not made in Arkansas. There are some who feel that the quality of the Chinese-built Klipsch speakers is not as good as those made in Hope, but only you can decide that - if you choose to buy some of these speakers.

Cancer is a horrible disease. Norm even had something funny to say about it though, That's the way he was. It's a draw!

Never heard of this LP or the label East-West. Interesting music if not earth-shattering.

Damn, 61 is too young. They say he's been battling cancer for 9 years. That's a long fight. He was funny as hell. His sense of humor was so twisted, he made some people cringe. I saw him in Boston one time and there were jokes where I was laughing hysterically while others around me groaned.

Over the years, this has become one of my favorite Horace Silver recordings. I still pull it off the shelf before a lot of his classic Blue Note dates.

So you are OK with that word continuing to refer to black people? Because that's what many black comedians are doing.

Wynton better avoid the comedy clubs while he is at it. The 'N' word is slung far and wide on those stages. In a way, I agree with Wynton about the use of this word by blacks. If they truly want it to go away, stop using it as a euphemism for friend. But fuck those Robert E Lee statues Wynton.

Not loving it - not hating it either. I first tried this on tap at a pub before COVID hit and remembered liking it a lot. Not so much in a can, even with the "nitro ball" explosion adding the nice foamy head.

Not me. Does anyone know his real name and where he lives so they can do a quick search of the 'net?

Lee Morgan - The Complete Live At The Lighthouse - Disc 3

I wouldn't necessarily mind paying those LP prices if the label included a download card. I am not paying for this stuff twice and I listen to music digitally far more frequently than i do on my turntable. Lately, I've been trying to buy my LPs from Amazon. At least that way, they have AutoRIP, which, for mainstream record labels at least, allows a download of any LP you buy from them.

Got to see Jemeel a couple of times in Boston at the ICA's old Boylston Street performance hall. Memorable shows for sure.

Sometimes, they have to bake those tapes to play them back. You can't just assume that pulling it out and hitting play will work for every tape.

If that's the case, just go to https://store.bluenote.com/products/lee-morgan-the-complete-live-at-the-lighthouse?_pos=1&_sid=784824ae5&_ss=r&variant=40623948234943 and order yourself a copy. No need to wait for that second pressing (if it happens) if you think $30/LP is OK.

The "Limited edition" sticker on the LP box: Actually "Limited edition 1st pressing". I also should note that Blue Note's website is now listing several hundred LP box sets as an "overrun" (several hundred overrun?) and jacked up the price to $350. This ain't your father's Blue Note.

Digital music cannot deteriorate. A digital file can be damaged if not copied properly but that is not the result of deterioration. If a digital audio music file is copied and stored properly, it will sound the same every time you play it. Stereophile is not really the place to get audio advice anyway. They have been peddling snake oil for decades.

I love the blues so just on the title alone, I was really looking forward to hearing this when I found a used LP at Stereo Jacks. I was very disappointed.

Whoever entered this box set's information into the MusicBrainz database didn't do a great job. First off, the title is not "The Complete Live At The Lighthouse (50th Anniversary Edition)". In fact, it doesn't say this anywhere on the artwork. One of the discs has the set number wrong on a track or two. Two or three CDs have no space between CD and the disc number (CD1 instead of CD 1). Most of the track namess have a space before the title. All of the track names have the word "Live" in them. Duh - it's a live recording. No need to put that in every track title. Though I suppose having to edit nearly every track title for a few typos is better than having to type them all myself.

In the late 90's, I traveled to Chicago on business many times as well. Unlike you, I was pretty unlucky when it comes to live Jazz. It seemed like every time I went, The Jazz Showcase and The Green Mill had acts playing there that I'd either just seen in Boston or the band was playing Boston when I got back - and I usually already had tickets. Fred Anderson was never playing at the Velvet Lounge during any of my visits either. I never did get a chance to see him or Von Freeman live. I did get to visit the Jazz Record Mart and Dusty Groove every visit though.

OK, then it is scientific then?

Maine has less than 40 open ICU beds available in the whole state at this time. This could have serious ramifications for pediatric care as these ICU beds take away from that. https://www.wabi.tv/2021/08/27/maine-hospital-officials-warn-about-shortage-icu-beds/

Sonny Criss - Rockin' In Rhythm (Prestige).

It is literal. Literally noone has a good year after they die.

I've never heard of this one. Does the vocalist sing on every track?

Not likely since his 2019 included his death.
