try some variation of bosom. . . .

rub spin kick boogie and lap are the same as dance shake

"kiss me" works too. . . or so I've been told. . . .

I can't comment on this because I don't have it. I have most of the Taylor leading up to this date and I'm still digesting it, but enjoy it. I have some Taylor from later decades and I still can't make heads nor tails of it, enjoymentwise. There's a limboland in between I haven't traveled. . . .

Yes it's exciting but unless they're a saving it for a second JATP box, I don't think even Verve has it so it may never surface. . . .

Brownie, could this be the August 1957 "jam" you are talking about? It's all I see listed with Pres involved for August of that year. unissued performance, Hollywood Bowl, LA 8/22/57 JATP Sweets, Pres, Frog, OP, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, Louis Bellson, Jimmy Rushing* Polka Dots and Moonbeams Blues Goin' To Chicago* How High the Moon Someone to Watch Over Me I think this is it and here is what it says below: "This concert was reportedly recorded by Norman Granz; other tunes may have been played." Likely NO ONE has this, it hasn't been out on record according to this (discographic pages of Japanese Pres box).

I don't believe it is copy-protected.

Singles is very cool. . . but as for the vocal work I personally prefer the Spaceship Lullabye material. But I'm a RA-aholic (at least up through the seventies) and I would definitley advise anyone starting out to get all the Evidence material first. . . .

My favorites are the ESPs. I've quite a few others but I keep coming back to those. . . .

Yes, not the Who!

Looks more like the catalog. I don't know, it's not because I'm sentimental or anything, but I miss the old catalogs and the very first edition of the web page with the Mobe as the frontpiece.

It's not really dreadful. To me it's really interesting and I would guess the same for you. . . .

I've had this for years. . . interesting, and yours was a decent price. . . .

Check out the Charles Tyler ESPs. . . you might like them.

Peter, I'm with you all the way on this one, and I don't have any additional information to offer; I've heard (and like) those that you have heard, and I'd be cautious of the rest of these for the same reasons. . . . Hopefully someone will chime in with some information.

Mine may be there waiting for me tonight. .. I hope, as having a day off tomorrow would make that quite opportune! Thanks to a friend I've had all this music for a few years. . . cool stuff!

I ordered her second one (the two cd set) just to be different! Should be here in a week. . . .

And Kirk Felton has been doing a wonderful job of remastering.

In most ways yes, the box is an improvement. NOT hugely different, a little warmer and more dynamic would be my appraisal. I really didn't want that to be the case. . . I love my little minilp DSD releases! I was astonished to find the difference in the Antibes material as well (still edited in the DSD Sony releases, unedited in the box set).

Len, thanks for posting that link; I had looked to be helpful, but not found anything like this in my search.

I agree with Conn that you bring your mood and interior life into a listening and the result is deeply influenced by what you bring. And like others here I listen to a multitude of styles of jazz in rotation, or sometimes in a fixated sequence, and also to Hendrix, Dead, brazilian music, etc. and that helps me stay interested. And when things are really bad Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller and Nat Cole are what I reach for and they WORK.

I agree that the lps can sound very different from the cds! I don't know Claude, I certainly, on my system, wouldn't call the difference in polarity positions "subtle." As I understand it, one way the speaker is moving in one direction, the other way the other direction, and this does not make a subtle difference to me. I agree that it doesn't make a "bad" recording "good"---but it does make a more than subtle difference in overall tonal balance, center fill, and soundstaging, to me, in my main system. Maybe it's because my amplifier has so few parts within? I almost always notice clear differences between brands and types of tubes, interconnects, wire, footers, AC conditioning, etc. The difference is less apparent on my other system (B&O receiver based) but after a lot of listening to my main system a lot in both polarity signatures I've learned to tell the difference better in that system as well. It's not a big deal perhaps, but when the correct polarity (in my estimation for most JRVGs it is inverted) is applied the recordings sounds more "natural". . . whatever that means. Stereo impressions are so subjective it's hardly worth talking about them . . . .

I ordered some speaker cables. . . guess that's neither here nor there, but it's going to mean fewer cds til after the holidays!

And it says here. . . "Some people would rather see babies than babes. What's up with that?"

I like most every one that I've heard. I've sortof pledged myself to not get too involved with remastering and sonic issues etc. My system now seems to let me enjoy earlier remasterings more than previous incarnations have and I just sort of have fallen out of the habit of keeping track of what is great and what isn't and I honestly don't want to backpedal my way back there!
