Hi Shaft! I think you'll really enjoy this set. I can totally understand how listening to the London House set would spur this purchase. . . wow, that's a good one.

JETman bought it and he's happy with the set. But then he's addicted to box sets. I think this is a silly set. I've resisted it. If someone were to buy me one for Christmas, I'd smile as wide as I could. . . .

I finally watched this on dvd. Well, definitely better than the Reeves movies, which I never enjoyed. Still. . . I guess I'm just not a Superman fan, always been the lamest of the comics for me. . . .Nicely done movie, but didn't excite me. Ah well!

Many many more happy ones!

Many more happy happy ones!

Many More Happy Happy Ones!

Many More Happy Happy Ones!

Many More Happy Happy Ones!

Many more happy ones Ken!

Diagnostic Overview: Your responses indicate you've gone off your medication, and are probably breaking parole right now. Stay away from schoolyards and daycare centers; that's the first place they'll look for you. You also wear a lot of black clothing because the voices tell you to, right? People who answer as you did are almost always crack addicts or sleazy porn film extras. Long-Term Prognosis: Your wild mood swings and fanatical belief in the Teletubbies will cause you trouble in life, the same way ice "caused trouble" for the Titanic. Don't feel bad- lots of worthless, messed-up people have similar problems, and you'll probably marry one. You're the kind of person that keeps divorce attorneys and homicide detectives in business. Additional Fears: You're also afraid of Pee Wee Herman, the doorbell, and clowns. This is silly- when was the last time clowns caused you any harm?

When using my full name: You're caught cheating at miniature golf and are beaten to death with a small windmill.

Have a great one Rod and many more!

Congratulations Bruce!

Gorts are probably Trogs.

I like his Savoy and MGM stuff a lot!

The man definitely had the jazz in him and lucky for US it streamed streamed out.

There are a few of us who have, and like, this set!

It's an awful situation for someone who wants to be morally rigid from a US standpoint. Lonehill for example has been putting out some very interesting releases lately, for example the John La Porta complete Debut recordings which contain a few selections ont on the EPs, and a host of alternates, and less than 20 percent of the tracks have been on cd before. Also they just released the excellent lp "Pee Wee Russell Plays" which has a great band with Clayton, Freeman and Dickerson playing all Russell compositions, never on cd before (but coupled with the "Portrait of Pee Wee" lp that has been on cd several times). This is material I don't really expect to see reissued by the legitimate holders of the material. I wish I could buy it from them, and will if I ever can. I've been buying Chronogical(sic) Classics for years and they've been a tremendous boon to collectors of early and swing and now bop jazz recordings. If we were waiting for the legitimate releases. . .we'd be waiting iand waiting and waiting. This is just a facet of the existence and experience of a collector; bootlegs have always been with us, loved and hated.

Hey, happens to the best of us! And doesn't last! (fingers crossed).

Wow Mark, you sure have been a downer lately!

Posts ##25 and 26 contain initial impressions from two owners. I really don't have much to add. I've enjoyed the EPs and LPs of this material, and they sound wonderful here in this box set. The annotation is very good. If you are not an OP hater, and if you really like piano/guitar/bass trios, this is a set to enjoy.

I'm no fan of Proper. I think the sets I have heard sound inferior to similar products. And they had this habit of reissuing incomplete sessions. . . ARGH!

Liz Taylor was good looking once? Guy Well, apparently I don't know how to cut and paste using the right click, but there is a good photo of Liz at http://www.drudgereport.com right now. Jean Simmons certainly was very beautiful. . . . So was Elizabeth Taylor
