Yup. Keep 'em flying!

There ya go. Keep 'em flying.

Hmmmm. . . on second thought WHO KNOWS if this would be on the possible Mosaic; depends if they do a Quartet Mosaic or a plain ole RCA Burton Mosaic. It's well worth getting in either case.

You're right Tom, not out on cd in the USA. This does mean that there is a shift from the original concept of the RVG series USA, and a good shift too!

IF they do a Mosaic, that would be a part of it. It's a FINE album!

Indeed!

I went with First Meditations, though it just barely edged out Sun Ship. Sun Ship hits my head hard, First Meditations hits my heart.

Alright! A color cover image! AN UGLY ONE, but. . . .

I'm happy about all these because I really dig the RVG Edition sound. Seems that the intent of the series has changed from offering remastered staples from the label to just offering remastered versions of almost anything on the label and I'm not complaining!

MrJazz: I did not know that! Thanks for sharing! I'm sure many of us would be interested in any stories about your dad you'd like to share in a thread somewhere!

No, not officially. . . . There is one two cd set within the box that is from 1974 I believe, the rest are from the eighties and up. . . . Good stuff from a period of Miles I'm not that keen of overall. Probably in time they'll appear individually from Sony or Warners or SOMEONE. I mean. . . if there's a dollar to be made on Miles someone will be making it over the next hundred years or so. . . .

Kirk at Montreux!

Those eighties Miles appearances in the box set are among the best eighties Miles I've heard. . . .

Thanks Alexander. Interesting choices they made. . . .

Don't overdo it! Ah what the heck, overdo it. . . you'r TWENTY FOUR!

Wow, I'm looking forward to the expanded Condon and the Hall!

Yeah, well put. I went to college at the U of C and I didn't fail to notice Chicago in the film. BUT. . . I always sort of felt that Chicago WAS Gotham City!

MLK.

I'm a little less impressed by the film, but it was probably the very best Batman film (I really don't have high expectations for Batman films!) I could have done without Katie Holmes entirely. But I did like the Al Ghoul and Scarecrow appearances. Tell me, learned experts, does this redefining the myth align itself with the Year One comic version (i. e. was the League of Shadows part of it, was Al Ghoul the trainer, was Rachel a character?) I've never read the comic version. I quit reading Batman when Giordano was inking it and I read the first Dark Knight graphic novel and that was it.

As the prophet has said, "Grant Green selleth more."

I fall sort of in between Mark and Alexander in my comic book fandom and desire to see the movie-ization of a comic. When I was seven or so in 1962 or so the Marvels started to take off: FF and Spidey and my real favorites: Journey into Mystery and Strange Tales. My father forbade me to read this stuff which was a mistake because I managed to find a lot of them and hide them in my room, Finally a few years later my dad told me I could collect some if I wanted and he came in the next day to my room and saw a two foot stack! And then moving to Africa in 1966 I was afraid I would not find the comics I was addicted to, but in Addis Ababa there was one English book store, Giannopolis and eventually the comics would appear from Europe or occasionally from the US. In Swaziland there was a store I could get them all. It was really weird to read some of these very Amerian cultural pieces in the middle of a multiracial and multinational dorm room in M'Babane. I do feel that the comic book experience at heart is very noncinematic, it's all your personal imagination at play along with the framework offered on the newsprint pages (I quit comics when they got all slick and such, not because of that but because I was in my early twenties and had to learn how to spend time in reality!) To my way of thinking the first movies along the comic book line were juste laughingly bad. Superman, etc. Sheesh. I hated that. But technology came along and the movies got better, and directors came along that really wanted to do comic book movies because they loved the material, and that didn't hurt. The best ones really communicated the love of the material and came up with interesting comic book movies. I never felt they were in fact MY versions. For the most part only a few actually were rooted in the comics that I read and enjoyed. But I could view them as someone's version that they wanted to share, and that was fun. So Xmen, Spidey, Hulk, Daredevil, Elektra--I enjoy these. I'm eager to see Batman Begins and Fantastic Four! I'll probably skip Ghost Rider with Nicholas Cage. . .

It comes from a Spanish company . . . it's not an authorized release from the Roulette vaults. Turns out it's two Roulette lps on one cd, good deal, good music, not really legit (but I'm living in a glass house and not throwing stones). Went to Dusty and ordered the new Ed Motta cd and the cd of Elis Regina at the Montreux Jazz Festival that always seemed to be out of stock when I wanted to order it before!

Those BASTARDS! (The Lone Hill PIRATE BASTARDS I mean!) Guess this has the King and the Roulette lps on it. . . .

Jim, I'm still lactose tolerant, but in a successful try at lowering my cholesterol so that I didn't have to start taking pills to that end, I eliminated my massive milk habit . . . . And I found I actually really enjoy soy milk, especially with cereals (I can use unflavored freely with the cereals as they flavor the "milk"). I hated it at first, but after a rough month, I LOVE it now.
