  1. I haven't heard any Kikuchi.
  2. My guess is that this is EMI just finding another outlet for the product so I'm not sure anyone is "betraying Mosaic" by buying some of these files. I wouldn't do it, but that's because I don't like digital files more than anything else.
  3. I'm sure it does. Thing is I think if I need to move and store them it will be in Ohio.
  4. I am reckless with my funds. I somehow manage to just make it all work, as if this were some sort of Roger Zelazny "Amber" that I can shape to my liking. I'm amazed that I haven't fallen flat on my face. But I actually have been showing restraint, remarkable for me but understandable with this big move, but couldn't pass up this one. Like you I'm really grooving to vinyl and I have had an eye on this set and am glad to cross it off the list. Hope you can snag a copy soon!
  5. Yeah, Monty Waters is very good.
  6. I have to confess, I don't find Jarrett's "groaning" annoying. I just listen to the keyboard sound.
  7. Thanks. I think I can house my music collection. My collection of instruments. . . maybe, hopefully. I was born in Ashtabula Ohio Cool! I was born in Canton, my parents were born and raised in Louisville. My father was the minister of the "church on the town square" in Burton, Ohio for 28 years. Actually I misspoke, I'm going to be just across the border from Bay Village, in Westlake, Ohio.
  8. Well, it WAS released in '77 and of its time so I'm not surprised it sounds like 'seventies jazz. If you decide you don't want to keep it let me know I may buy if from you.
  9. late 'thirties Ellington small group and Orchestra.
  10. Everything is so relative because I hear far more than "laughingly negligible" differences between cds and lps in both my systems. What I seem to have grown to realize is that there are differences in the formats and great sound is possible from all of them with effort. And listeners/music fans have differing interests in seeking the best sound possible. What is "good enough" for one is possibly way too involved for another and hardly sufficient to another. (And it's quite possible that we all have different hearing and ways of interpreting what we hear). We're all different, and it's a shame that many or most seem to feel they have to be "right."
  11. Great pressings imo so far! Right now
  12. I've already gone that far, I like it much better. More Billy. Who needs Noel.
  13. Actually I was wrong above, it's a Walmart exclusive cd. Shawn is right, just get the Dagger cd that the bonus material comes from, it's great.
  14. I thouight you were 'downsizing' Lon? Nice set I should be. This set for 120 dollars I could not say no to.
  15. This is not a new practice for Experience Hendrix.
  16. This is one of the nicest sounding lps I've ever heard, any way you want to define that.
  17. Scored an unplayed "Heavyweight Champion" vinyl set for a great price. Listening to "Coltrane's Sound" right now.
  18. Thanks, appreciate the good wishes. I am sure it will all work out okay. I'm trying to look at it all in manageable bites.
  19. That is a Target only exclusive version of the Hell People and Angels cd that includes a long piece formerly released (and still available) via Dagger Records.
  20. More and more computers just aren't fun for me. I practically lived inside my computer when i worked, and having not worked for most of five years I have played around on the internet a lot, but I'm less interested in that these days . . . . I think at the new place I'll not get internet and will set up my iMac at my parents and just use it when I'm there, that way I'll have my home free of a computer, going to try it, maybe then I'll enjoy the computer a bit more when I'm on. As I don't use my iPod at all any longer, I don't use iTunes except to burn an occasional disc, and I'm not really adept at digital music file handling and that's mainly because I just don't have a lot of interest in it. I love my discs and records and that's enough for me.
  21. I've tried the lossless stuff. I don't need digital files and just don't have to go there, don't want to go there at this time. I don't like computer audio, just not fun for me.
