Direct Stream Digital I believe. It is a Sony process for converting analog to digital, an integral part of their SACD mastering process. http://www.dsdproaudio.com/html/dsd_sacd_explained.html

Many more happy happy ones Mark!

I know what Miles would say about this. . . . And doesn't he owe Cannon ten bucks?

You, me, same page.

I have an eighties LP reissue - German WB. I haven't played this for quite a little while. Daughter and grandson visiting most of today, so I'll line this up for tomorrow. MG Finally got around to this. I agree about the stereo separation - it's as if there's nowt in the middle; everything is coming out of one speaker or the other (this sounds silly). And it's also peculiar to hear Elvin's solo on Africa - one of his drums (the bass drum I think) seems to have been fed into the left channel, but the rest of the kit is in the right. My copy, I see from close examination of the writing in the runoff, is a DMM job, by WEA German in the eighties. So the position wasn't improved by then. I've got to say, though it's a bit peculiar, I don't object to it. There's nothing in the sleeve notes of my copy to say who recorded this or who produced it. I can't imagine RVG recording it like this. Could it be one of the Creed Taylor jobs, before he went to Verve? MG I assure you, this was recorded by RVG at his Englewood Cliffs studio. The stereo separation doesn't seem that big an issue for me but I have my stereo biased more towards depth than side by side separation, that may be why. Love these sessions but I confess I like the first issued version of title track far more.

Ascension, Japanese lp facsimile cd.

Dexter Gordon, Prestige, Disc 6

Many many more happy ones!

And after looking around this board, I seem to be the only person who likes this one. LOL Oh believe me you're not alone, know that Shawn and I really like this one.

I think you'll find this page helpful (?) http://www.jazzdisco.org/bethlehem/1957-dis/c/ Just search for "Porgy and Bess" and you should see every session listed.

Wow. I might have gotten excited about these a few years ago, and I might get excited still if they are a lot cheaper than I think they'll be. Otherwise, I'll stick with what I have. Especially since I happen to like RVGs.

Thanks, I may take you up on that in the future if the white pearloid bugs me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (Again)

Many more happy ones!

Well I'm getting used to it. And i don't care, this SOB plays so well.

Yeah, you're right. Just wishful thinking on my part because although she's one heckuva cutie I think her singing is dreadful and she has the personality of . . . well, maybe she just doesn't have one.

That looks like a cool little device. Yeah, I love the looks of this guitar, always have liked Thinlines in that way. . . Many I've seen have had black or tortoise pickguards which I'd prefer, but I'm getting used to the pearloid white. . . .

She sure acted like she thoght she had a label or two waiting in line! Actually she had a contract and albums out before Idol, so I don't know what the odds are she'll be given another chance. Syesha has that child entertainer syndrome going on I think, yes, too pretty for her own good, definitely "hammy". . . but I like her singing and I hope she lasts a few more weeks.

OKAY, It's just that I don't think it's ridiculous, myself.

Yeah, he's very entertaining. Not the greatest voice, perhaps, but a good singer in a style that I tend to like. And I really love his attitude. He seems to care less - and be genuinely surprised - that he's even made it this far. Always seems a bit stoned and goofy; a breath of fresh air. Meanwhile, I'm in love with Brooke, who seems so genuine. I can't stand the guy for that mf hair. I can see not liking the guy for that hair, but I know a few young guys with hair like that are genuinely nice persons who I'd much rather be around than many others with carefully coiffed conservative hair.

I guess she's genuine, but she doesn't seem as versatile or compelling a singer to ME. She's cute, she's sort of the kind of gal I'd find very annoying to be around a lot. . . maye that is why she's not one of my favorite contestants.

Oh and I really have to say I like Juan Castro too. He's a lot like a few guys I hung around with in the summers of my college years. Way back then. I think he can make a connection with listeners.

Wow, I think you're probably RIGHT Mike, but man I dislike Christy Lee intensely. UGH. I like Syesha. Sue me. She's going to be an actress on a tv show most likely next season. And I think David Cook is good, he's playing their game well. They say "do something different, take a chance, be yourself" and he seems to actually find a way to do it. I thought his Lionel Ritchie and Michael Jackson bits were great.

Yes, I have to stop, but I'm pretty set up!

That's the one. Isn't this on the OTHER VeeJay Mosaic though, not the Morgan-Shorter?
