Thanks for your recommendations, Baker! I realized I actually have one album on Bethlehem (Nina Simone's first), but there should be room for a couple of more titles on my shelves. Daniel, I would not want to be without the two Ellington, the three Mingus, and others are well worth checking out including the two Williamsons, the Tormes (if you're at all into Mel) and the Leveys.

Late Night with Seth Meyers. John Mayer Trio with Chick Corea, and Wallace Roney.

And Lift Every Voice is coming out next month on SHM-CD!

If you've pre-ordered I'd say yes.

That's interesting news. Cool.

I think they may be out of print. Other vendors may have stock, but it seems that cdjapan can't get more when they try to replenish their stock. unavailable from 'cd japan', perhaps, but not out of print by a long shot... we've started a trend, lon! Indeed!

Yes, it's ESP. Naxos possibly distributes.

Not at all surprising, but too bad. Though far from my favorite Russell.

I'm probably wrong, it probably has NOT been out on cd legitimately. Too bad there are no Selects any longer, if there were any extra recorded material for these that would be a nice Mosaic Select.

And has been legitimately relased in Japan at least once. The College Concert as well, I believe.

The source for these ARE Rose airchecks. So far I've only listened to the first disc, but the sound is much better than from any other version of this material I have heard. They certainly are NOT scrubbed and polished with excessive no-noise.

Well that't true, I said I really enjoyed them, that they were my favorite of all Bethlehem series, and I'm getting all the titles I want.

I sensed they would go fast, glad I snagged a hundred or so. . . .

Ricky, thanks for this update and the stories. Many of us here know the difference Mosaic brings to reissues, but stories such as these reinforce this and strengthens our admiration for the label. . . and our anticipation for this set!

Looking forward to watching that this afternoon. . . it's simmering on the DVR.

Damn Jon, now you're old! Many happy returns!

Yes, no, maybe. Sometimes you're paying a lot of money so big corporation shareholders can open their mail to a nice check while overseas workers put together a product to barely survive. Sometimes you pay money for a little cottage industry member making a comfortable living pursuing his dream as an audio engineer. And there's other variables and scenarios that to my way of thinking makes the "you get what you pay for" axiom not a hard and fast rule.

Oh I did, but I reversed it because I hate limiting myself. I'm sorry you become so defensive and combative, me too, and sorry that I hung on like a terrier on a trouse leg and invoked those behaviors. What I was trying several times to point out is that unless you experiment with "riding the gain" in audio and especially with the CSP2, CSP2+ CSP3 or ZStage, you really can't properly evaluate that statement Steve has made and see that even though it is an exaggeration (I agree) it has truths within it. I hope one day that your narrow, incomprehensive ideas about audio become widened. If not, whatever. I'm fine never conversing again.

The story involves mandrake root, and it looks very similar to ginseng. Of course the cover is an anthropomorphic stylization.

Right, with Ellington. I believe they've been on DETS 15, 16 and 17.

Just a group of guys singing with the Orchestra at that time. I don't believe they were the same Mellotones who later became the Cardinals, but the group that caused the Cardinals to change their name from the Mellotones. I don't have the liner notes with me to check to see if there is more info. . . .

No, I have no interest in golf at all. You say you have knowledge of tubes but it doesn't seem to me you've heard the type of amp a Decware amp is. A modern tube amp tht doesn't really sound like any classic amp. You could run a source into the CSP3 and then into your amp, right? Even temporarily? I think you're analogy is not right about tubes and transistors. Nothing is that cut and dried in audio, sorry. I've heard sweet solid state amps and ugly edgy tube amps. And vice versa. Nothing is as easy peezy cut and dried as you always make things out to be. But arguing my point would just get more of the same spin from you. I'm done with this discussion.

Drop the empty accusations. I know we both have systems we like, which is what counts. You have a preconcieved idea of what "tube" sound is. Tube sound is all over the map like solid state sound is. And riding the gain is an eductional and entertaining process you haven't experienced, but are making judgments about. Oh well. I'm back to listening, at the moment to some pretty raunchy recorded bootleg stuff that I've played around with and sounds better, mainly by riding the gain.
