I bet this set does well. I think Hawkins is a big draw, this material in Mosaic sound and annotation is a very attractive set for collectors. I'll bet a number are sold by Xmas.

A mistaken pricing, but maybe it will go through? The new Howlin' Wolf box set for 25. http://www.ccmusic.com/item.cfm?itemid=HIPD762734

Okay, I'll check that out one of these days when I root the other one out of the cd collection.I know previously it sounded very fake stereo to me, but I may be confusing it with another of the bootlegs from this tour. Very happy with the sound of this new version.

Phooey! (I think I'n one of the only people who almost always prefers stereo when it's available.) I haven't done a comparison, but I always thought the bootleg was fake stereo. I'll try to find it and compare soon. Personally, I'm bowled over at the sound on this set. Excellent.

You could look at tube amps at about 25 watts per channel then.

Vol.2 = the bonus tracks on Introducing the Three Sounds US cd.

Many many happy returns!

I bought all of these on lp when they came out. If I could only keep one, it would be Star People.

I can understand that. I've had their amps since 1987 with no need for support at all from them. The only product that I had from them that needed repair was not an amp. I know you're not looking for High End. Decware is not High End. But. . . in my opinion to get the kind of sound you've enjoyed for so long these days you have to look at independent builders and the higher end manufacturers. Or rebuild/refurbish vintage units. Just my tuppence.

That may be the best thing to do. Very little mass-produced today is worth the money you'll spend on it, especially in the higher limits of big audio companies. I lucked into using Decware amplification years ago and I'd recommend their products, especially if you were here in the States, though they've a number of UK users as well and most of their equipment can be shipped from the factory ready to plug in. These are hand-built with premium parts, no circuit boards, point-to-point soldered and star grounded, very robust designs with clear and powerful sound. Decware High Fidelity

I skipped this 2-on-1 because I have excellent sounding Japanese cds of these two, but agree: this is great music, and it's a real shame that neither of these two Marion Brown recordings has been on cd in the States before.

Many many happy happy returns!

Definitely check out the Burton on RCA and ECM. I remember when I first bought that Jarrett and Burton on Atlantic shortly after it had come out I played it to death. It was a great album to take a few tokes to. I love Sam Brown's Tele sound on that one. And his playing. That combination of Jarrett and Burton had a unique texture to it. The arrangements and the compositions were nicely woven together as well. Pretty "one of a kind" lp, sort of in the way I think Filles de Kilamanjaro" is one of a kind.

She's very charismatic. And if I were forty years younger. . . I wish her lots of success. Or maybe not, I wish her as much as she wants and as much as is safe. Re-watched that two hour Nova last night with my friend Dave. Man that was a well put together program! Today I'll go back ton watching Season Four of Chuck.

I will not hold my breath. They "solved" the error in the Getz box by offering an mp3 download. Well, took time but I got an email response from a Universal dude. He says to write him back "in about a month" for a replacement disc. We'll see. If there is one available, I'll update this thread.

Hey, she founded Blue Note Records too!

Some great guitars. I've a MIM Thinline that is a very nice guitar, but I don't get the sound I want from it. I know what you mean about the time to sell. I've lots of time on my hands, I should utilize it. Brooks, sounds like a decent price for a nice guitar!

Several have mentioned upstream in this thread that they bite.

My comment simply meant that I sense from the performance that everyone is familiar with the composed elements, the arrangement, and are comfortably performing with authority, not always easy to do at this tempo. This is well-rehearsed and quite a bit of time has been put into "getting it right." Am I correct? Or was this little-rehearsed.

I've watched it. . . She's good. The show. .. not so good, at least not something I'll watch regularly.

Til the last two, I really never liked Bond films. I read the books before I saw any of the movies (read the books when I was in Africa, and never saw any of the movies til a number of years after I returned) and the movies never seemed to capture my experience with the books, they just seemed corny and way too hip. The most recent two are at least a bit more like the books, to me. Watched this again today, such an over the top "give them what they want to see" movie.

Interesting. Your bassist and drummer are giving you good support. I think that the tempo certainly showcases the chops of all three of you, but the melody would be better suited if played more slowly and allowed to breathe a bit. But I know there's a lot of work put into this, and thanks for sharing.

Right, it's hard to get appropriate money, if they have to go you just have to sort of not fret over the price!

Hope you managed to buy that one Brooks, if you wanted it badly. I've been going through my guitar and bass collection now that I've spent most of the summer alone and can play without being self-conscious again. I've had an eye to thinning out the herd and will probably be selling about five guitars and two basses this fall and winter. I find that though I love the different woods and pickups of many of the instruments I have, I really am a Fender guy in electric guitars and basses (and amps) and a Martin guy in acoustics. What I've discovered from the last two months or so of playing: I'll not part with my two Stratocasters (a Billy Corgan signature Strat, and a Deluxe mahogany strat with Samarium Cobalt noiseless pickups and one Humbucker and the S-1 system). They're just both so different and at the same time have the same neck specs and are both great tonal palettes and divergently easy to strum and pick. Between the two there's a world of rock and blues sounds. And I love my '59 Jazzmaster Thin-skin reissue and can't imagine I'd part with it unless my whole financial being were threatened. Just so beautiful, and though I won't call it easy to play, it has a jazzy richness to it and a versatile two pickup switching system where you can set up two distinct volume and tone signatures and switch between them. It also has the same modern neck specs as the Stratocasters I own, so there's little "shock" playing between the three guitars. Action is totally different though. With some work I can get some really "jazz" sounds out of this one with my '59 Bassman Lacquer Tweed Reissue amp. I bought two Martins in the last three years, first an 00-15, then a D-15S. My first guitar was a D-28 Spruce top bought in '78, and over the years I had a few other makes and models but the Martin seemed to always be the sound and feel in my mind and hands. The two I have now are both all mahogany models and I love the look and tone. They're night and day different in both body size and construction. The 00-15 is so petite and comfortable to play and have that old warm blues tone. The Slot head has the 12 fret neck and the dreadnought size and has that huge warm sound, and also has a Fuhrman pickup under the bridge. Not as easy to play, but man the sound! I just get such a great feeling looking at and handling these things. And I've gone through my basses and the keepers are my two Deluxe Jazz basses: both are sunburst, one is a maple fretted neck, one a rosewood fretless. They play so well and the active pickups give you a wide range of sounds. I also have a Deluxe Precision, but I just don't enjoy the neck as much, though the sounds from this bass are awesome! Likewise I have an Epiphone Jack Cassidy model (black) that makes great sounds, but I don't enjoy playing it at all in the way I do the Jazz basses. I'm sold on these American made instruments. I'm lucky to have such a great collection. I wish my house were one big room bigger; I'd love to have a room just dedicated to my guitars, basses (including my contrabass violin), keyboard, amps and two drum kits. I'd love to have them all setup and with space to move about. Maybe some day! I could make that a goal, and change my life I guess! Hope everyone is enjoying their guitars.
