Ah there was a time when I really enjoyed a full Irish, but now, it's just too salty and and as much as I used to love black and white pudding and soda bread, now it's just heart-burn city. Oh, soda bread with a fry-up! That's one of the joys of being in Ireland! Not so keen on the white pudding. It's quite hard to get white soda bread in England - they do the brown stuff in Sainsbury's but I like the white better. Well with the brown, depending on how much of it I eat and what I eat with it, I sometimes end up spending the day making sounds of discomfort similar to the ones Homer made when he ate the Guatamalan insaity peppers at the chilli cook off. :D Heart Burn City.

The set that started this thread!!!, a really nice collection that I should listen to more often... starting tonight. :party:

Thanks for the review, I reckon I'll sample this one before purchasing it then.

Good grief. What an album cover, what year is it from?

I had a look through the booklet for the RVG of "One Step Beyond", are they skimping on the photo's for these now? There used to be pics that were the size of the page but now there is just a small cropped one within the text of the notes, or is this just on the Euro versions??? Another cost cutting measure???

I was wondering where Lonehill got all the LaPorta material, I had presumed it had been re-issued on that "Debut Story" box, but obviously not. Was it issued in Japan or did they actually get the masters???

I saw this one in Tower the other day; Amazon Link. Blurb; Product Description 2009 reissue of this seriously collectable '70s Jazz release from saxophonist Nathan Davis. The album was originally released on Nathan Davis's tiny bespoke Tomorrow International record label in 1976 and only 1000 copies were ever pressed. Davis leads his super-funky group along the narrow path between Jazz and Funk that so many failed to navigate successfully in the second-half of the '70s. It's an album by an artist who is a musician's musician. More importantly - it's a killer! Eight tracks. Soul/Jazz. The Label that's re-releasing it, Soul Jazz, tend to cover "funky" type of stuff, is it worth checking out???

I really wanted T-Bone's The Complete Capitol / Black & White Recordings but couldn't afford the price tag attached for an OOP 3-CD set. I ended up having to get the 4-CD Quadromania set which appears to contain the whole of the Capitol / B&W set without the alternate takes. I'd agree that it's some excellent stuff and I like it enough to want to add the Imperial 2-CD set to the collection as well. T-Bone Walker pretty much "invented" "perfected" "defined", for a lack of better words, the whole R&B/jump blues/soul vein you speak of. He is a giant IMHO, and doesn't really get his due, probably because he was fairly popular at one time. T-Bone is GOD, and here is GOD with the JATP...

It didn't stop there either...

Please tell me that the last part of that sentence is a typo, please...

So, Organissimo were the guys with the skull masks and no bass player right? Am I right ?

In fact, now that I think of it, as Ralph Wiggum would say, "that's un-possible". I mean have you seen a T.V. in the last 20 years or what, this freakin' me out. :crazy: How can you live in the U.S.A. and not have seen the Simpson's, it just does not make sense.

I'm sorry but that is insane, how have you managed that and more importantly why? Even the weaker episodes have something in them that makes me laugh, over here you can watch them at least once everyday, and I usually do.

Actually this is in much better quality... The Simpsons - NEW Main Title

The Simpson's New Opening Theme

A bigger pic of this cool cover, Little Walter had a very "lived in" face.

This is very good news as these guys do very, very nice work, I have this one and it's great, Hoochie Coochie Man: Complete Chess Masters, Vol. 2: 1952-1958 Amazon Link I have most of the stuff on it but if I'm gonna by jazz stuff over and over again I may as well do it for blues stuff as well. They have some other goodies on their site that look very tempting too, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry... By the way, was there ever a more important basement in the history of recorded music than the Chess studios "Echo chamber"?

Yep, that's how they replaced, was it "Dialogue", with the well weird last tune?

Hmmmmmmmmm, looks like Mr Kahn has a, shall we say, limited range, but then again, more power to him, nobody else is really doing things like this at the moment. I do like the way he did the Kind of Blue book though, where really anybody who had the album as their "Jazz" album, could pick up the book and use it as manual to explore Jazz a little further.

I haven't read the "A Love Supreme" book, but I found the "Kind of Blue" book enjoyable, more like a really good magazine article than a book, but he goes through what happened before and after the album was made, how he got there and how it influenced other musicians at the time, which I think he does in "A Love Supreme" as well. I have the "House That Trane Built" and really it's neither fish nor foul IMHO, I found it a bit boring overall but it did have a few good bits and pieces, I got a hard back copy really cheap so that's the main reason I bought it.

Oh man...this clip is among my favorites for sure! I'm a HUGE Magic Sam fan. Thanks for posting this. Yea, I'd love to know what kinda amp he was going through here, his tone is just amazing.

But does this shop close at 10, or does it stay open all the way up to 11?

What exactly are "demonstrations of asshole status?", bearing in mind I wouldn't have as much experience in these type of things as you would. Is there a different set of rules for people over 50 on this board? Or can some people just give it but not take it?

You have a wife??? Seriously??? I can only presume that the poor woman is both deaf and blind, my condolences, to her, not you. Never got the PMs though.
