I'm so glad of the great customer service, that your amp is back healthy as it can be, and that the falsely accused preamp is now. . .glowing happily.

I have a Yamaha digital piano that I bought for about 1100 bucks that has the best piano sound (and action) I've ever experienced outside of a real piano. It has an electric piano sound that is pretty good too: you can switch between the Ray Charles Wurly sound and a sort of clean Rhodes sound. Can't do an awful lot of altering to the sound in the machine itself, but you could patch it out to another effects unit. Very happy with this machine for over a year now. . . takes care of my piano fix.

And you can get a good number of minutes on 16" discs as well. Also, as evidenced from the Town Hall recording equipment for example, dual disc cutters were around that would ensure that no minute of a performance was missed. . . theoretically I guess if you kept feeding those discs to the cutter head you could have quite a long continuous performance. Of course you would be limited to what you could release to the public in "one piece" at the time.

Now how did I forget that Manfred Mann version? (Just lucky I guess!)

THANKS for the headsup!

Okay, but maybe "THEY" might include others. . . I can't tell from here. Here's hoping Jerry chose a good remastering engineer.

Maybe they'll use the same engineer as Water uses, Gary Hobish of San Francisco. Gary does excellent work.

Dead tune. . . or Dylan tune? (Dead did dis, but Dylan done done it first! I think?)

I don't bellieve the director is into Scientology, but as an article that 7/4 linked to earlier in the thread indicates, Hubbard may well have been influenced (wittingly/unwittingly?) by Wells and the War of the Worlds itself in concocting his "methodology."

Great music! About a cd and a half's worth of this stuff (I think) has not been out on cd, and you'd spend a large amount of time and maybe more money trying to get all the cds that were released, and here you have a chance to get the vinyl at what looks to me a good price, all in one transaction. Have no qualms about the music, there's examples here of everything from New Orleans jazz recorded in New Orleans (and NYC) to vocal jazz from Dinah Washington and Marlene Morris et al to bebop from Hermanites et al. Harry Lim was a wonderful producer with great taste.

PS: I don't feel it's anything like the Kenton Presents; the small group stuff with the Kenton guys is a whole 'nother kettle of fish!

I thought you bought this from a board member last month? Anyway, I have had this since it was released. Interesting stuff! Not everyone's cup of tea. I like the sound of this orchestra, big and bold. And I think that Capitol was recording very well in those days and it shows here. The music ranges from swinging to limping along ponderously. But there is some really intriguing arranging and playing going on (amidst some not quite so successful at grabbing my attention). I haven't played this in some time mainly due to the way that my room is organized; it's in a corner I don't travel to often; I need to relocate and revisit.

I think you're right. I'll look at Beyonce's look! -_-

Interesting article.

It's not as easy as it looks. . . Hubbard et al battled the government for years about the status of the "methodology" as a "religion" and as far as I know they may still be doing so.

She shore looks purdy.

I'm not sure you can make that extrapolation over a few days of response or nonresponse on one small board on the 'net. And I do suspect that this set may have a lot of "non web user" appeal. I'd be MORE excited about it if I didn't have the sneaky suspicion I had a good portion of this already!

Nobody really needs one. . . Nobody really needs this "Best Blue Note Album in the World!" And if you did, in my opinion to make it "real" and valid, it would need to have some of the stuff from the first 15 years!

It will probably include the date where Buddy SINGS. . . .

I'd add "Summertime" by Bechet. And something by the Three Sounds should be on there.

Many more happy ones!

Alright! I'll mark my calendar!

Hope yourmusic.com gets these by fall. . . -_-
