Yes got mine last night.

Try to get them both. . . I like both, but I like the Weston a bit more. Who knows. . . last chance. . .may be there for a week or so. Or you may be able to call and have them hold a set for you (?) It would be sad to see them both go, as I doubt this material will show up on cd for a while when they're gone.

Thanks for the info!

Got my set. Wow. Great sound. I think part of that "guitar shimmer" can be traced to the Travis Bean guitar Jerry seems to be using. That was a fine instrument. (Not that Wolf, Tiger, Rosebud et al weren't).

Yes I do. I'm not even sure this is a mistake. The previous Coltrane and Evans boxes orders were fulfilled. Some of the Sly Stone too, though not a lot of them.

Keep watching. Not really addressed. But yeah, your concerns are warranted and show a certain vacuum in Peggy's personality and self-awareness, to say the least. She's odd. . . that's an understatement. I've never known anyone like her.

I ordered one when I posted about this elsewhere. That means I'll have this material in the big box and the three small sets! Nuts, but the material deserves this treatment.

I know John, I've said enough. I skipped the Sopranos, don't watch Mafia shit. And I hate the Rat Pack stuff as well.

THAT I don't know, hadn't heard about the original or a cd release.

I can't remember what the rules are about these recordings on this forum.

If I'm overstepping a party line I beseech the moderator to 86 the thread.

John, I'm nt trying to start some trouble, that doesn't seem to stop trouble finding me. I'm well aware of the issues about thiese companies and have been on both sides of the issue like a yoyo! Jim, I'm unsure.

I get that. Not normally a necessity for me either. But it's really an issue with me and Mad Men. Partially for me I think it stems from the awful way that women are treated. I just broil when I see that in real life and here it is sort of "glamorized." You can say "well, that's how it was then." Well my parents are the age of the characters in that show and they weren't like that, nor other members of my family. None of my menfolk would put up with it, and none of my womefolk would have just gone along with the flow. I didn't even have the slightest inclination to watch the show because in my last year at the office the only things I heard about the show was from the most chauvinistic characters working there who were gleefully recounting of how the guys get away with lording over the women on the show. I only did get the first season because a woman I worked with said it was an excellently produced and acted show and she wanted my opinion of it. I saw shadows and echoes of this behavior and philosophy in action in the worki places I had worked in and I detested it. So I really don't want to see it in action here. I can't put myself in their shoes, I can't conceive of their behavior being right, I can't see them continually going on with it and prospering without a creepy feeling. I can't shake that creepy feeling watching the show.

Another new 1962 recording, this one from Bud Powell, Hot Club in Geneva appearance A previously unknown concert by Bud Powell recorded at a club in Switzerland in 1962. Although Bud's playing had become somewhat erratic, this was one of the rare times in which everything seemed to fit just right. Two outstanding duets by Bud with tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, recorded in Paris in 1960, have been added as a bonus.

Probably. But they're on cd now.

Out this week are two new "bootleg" cds from Gambit and Rare Live Recordings. Worlds Records has them now, I'm sure they'll show up elsewhere soon, probably available for a bit already in Europe (?) Milan, 1962 All tracks previously unissued. All surviving tracks from the 1962 Milan concert by the classic John Coltrane quartet. As a bonus, two previously unheard tracks from the Olympia concert performed a few weeks earlier and an equally unissued set in Montreal from the following year. All of this music appears here for the first time ever on any format. Birdland 1962

Maybe Peter, we'll see. . . . Next spring is a lifetime away, I may be working, I may be putting together a new household and it may be both (the time frame I see ahead of me, which will probably morph into something else as time goes by, shows both as probabilities). All my trips in that direction are family driven as all my family but one sibling is in the Cleveland area. Which is nice and all but. . .

Hi! I'm with you with Monk! I'm also a Powell, Jarrett, Hope, Nichols, Evans and Ellington man. Among MANY others. I love piano players.

Thanks John. My knowledge of it is quaint; I haven't seen it since the end of the 'Seventies, my last time through the area that I had time to stop and observe and savor. My old neighborhood was changed in many ways, but also familiar in many ways. King of Prussia seemed mainly as I had remembered it. Glad to hear that the residential areas are still so nice. They were like an oasis to me then. I remember that several weeks after my mother was nearly strangled to death in her own kitchen we went there, and the whole of the two families went off on a walk to a park, and left that family's house standing completely open, windows wide, doors unlocked, and how that troubled my mother so and yet it was standard operating procedure there. It was such an experience to not always have to feel on the alert, almost paranoid. That practice of alertness and preparing for the worse took a long time to dissipate when we went to Africa, where we were more secure and welcomed than anywhere we lived.

There's a lot of truth to that. I see that, and agree. The problem for me is I don't identify with any of them, any of their dreams and aspirations and desires or general personality. It looks to me as if I'm looking at denizens from another planet in important ways. That really unsettled me. I'm used to being different, I've a different upbringing than most I know and I've even cultivated a separateness at times in my life. But this work seems to cry out for an empathy that I can't muster. Maybe it's a failing in me. I really see it's value, but I really look at the characters as people I don't want to be. More so than on any other tv show I'm watching. I definitely am intrigued and keep watching. With a certain disconnect, a distance I wish weren't there. Thanks for making that point D.

Well, as the previous two, these are excellent reissues in the sense that the sound is truly well represented and the booklets are quite informative and the packaging is very handsome. Having "Nasty Gal" in such glorious sound helps me like the album more; I now feel it's as good as "They Say I'm Different." I love the guitar work, just a great incorporation of Hendrix characteristics, still showcasing a new personality, Morales' own guitar language. "Is This Love or Desire" is an interesting album. The sound is different on this one, recorded in the country in Louisiana, and the approach slightly modified, more a growing realization of the band that they needed to grow in a different direction perhaps. I need to listen more to really get a handle on it (not a bad thing) and I like it but it hasn't hit me with a sledgehammer the way the other three have. And I really am puzzled. The notes call this the album in the can that Island wouldn't reissue. . . and say the material has never been released, even in bootleg. But I always thought the two releases (unofficial as far as Betty is concerned I guess) by Charly and Razor and Tie ("Crashin' from Passion" and "Hangin' out in Hollywood") WERE the very same sessions and material. I've never heard either. The track listings differ considerably in titles, but that doesn't mean that the material is different. Has anyone heard these, have any information on the material within them? Thanks. I wish I had known about her records in the 'Seventies, and I'm not sure why I didn't. She's a beautiful woman, and she really had a strong idea of what she wanted to perform, and she put it out there!

Nothing wrong with having something else as an avatar image, it was just a personal decision, I found my self uncomfortable "being" someone or something else as an avatar image, although I used to love it. Things have changed so much for me the last few years. Ultimately, after a mess, I found myself stronger. And I'm enjoying it. John, I used to visit King of Prussia in the early to mid-sixties when I was a kid in Philly. My folks had good friends there who also had children near the ages of my siblings and myself. I remember it as so clean and quiet compared to the city! Is it still that way?

There is also a Coleman Hawkins which lists USA as the country of origin. There are no substantive differences in the content of the set. But, the booklet is shorter (does not include the second half which was the Japanese liner notes); inside cover of a set I just bought is blank (where the track listing for the first disc would appear--it does appear in other places in the notes and on the back of the box); lettering on the CD's is black (Japanese one is red). Copyright is different also, lists Verve on US one and does not mention JASRAC. Great series and very interesting thread. Is there one on the Benny Carter disc? I have been curious about that one; I have seen a few copies of it and none of them has the liner notes in English; usually it is in Spanish. Does anyone have a copy of this disc w/liners in English? Regards, Baker My Hawkins is just like yours Baker, US, 20 page booklet with the first page about disc 1 not printed on the inside cover. Such fantastic music! My Carter disc is a European printing with notes in Spanish.
