Happy birthday!

AUSTIN, Texas—This city’s official motto is “Live Music Capital of the World.” But as Austin experiences a tech-fueled economic boom that has driven up living costs, civic leaders are stepping in to help keep the tunes playing. More here: Boom Times Test Austin's Music Scene - WSJ

I've never done one of these before, but it seems intriguing, so I'd like to participate.

I don't wanna see the cover...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestige_Records https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestige_Records_discography Look at the section towards the end entitled "10000 series (12" LPs)"

I never saw that East Meets West cover. I have the album as a download (from Amazon) on the Break Time label, simply titled John Scofield. Great autographs, btw!

Sco had two terrific releases on Arista/Novus (Bar Talk and Who's Who) that would easily fit on one CD. I hope BGO (which is currently reissuing Steve Khan titles that were also on Arista/Novus) would consider.

So an AE artifact is a distortion to the music that the AE produces that is noticeably over-and-above what was heard on the original vinyl, or (in a digital recording) sounds unnatural and/or unmusical. Is that it?

ImportCDs has the Philips: Original Jackets Collection box (55 CDs) for $51.70. Also, these sets tend to go up in price after the initial release date. Not clear what this means, but Amazon no longer has a price listed for this box.

Happy birthday! Looking forward to future releases.

Listening now to Jimmy Heath's Picture of Heath. Nice sound, good performance. Jimmy sounds a lot like Dexter on this one.

But what is an Aural Exciter artifact - what makes that bad?

4167 was the original Blue Note catalog number for Point of Departure.

I enjoyed reading that.

Up. Anyone want this? I love the album, just found out I have a spare.

Michael, I too enjoyed that book! I reviewed it May 25. Toward the end I came to the conclusion that she is a nut, but I still think that her ideas are good. I'm about a third of the way through. I like her writing style - very Japanese. I loved the portions about not telling your parents about the stuff you're throwing out. Tim - Sorry to hear about what you're going through.

My problem is drivers who don't use turn signals. Grrrrr.

I have a copy of Captain Beefheart's Mirror Man CD. It's the One Way Records release. Classic stuff. Available to a good home in the U.S.

Does anyone have a useful answer?

What's the cheapest way to mail a CD?

Mosaic should release a box set of Scofield's BN recordings.

Just noticed on eMusic: Mal Waldron & Steve Lacy, "Live at Dreher Paris 1981" (Hat), $6.49 for 4 discs worth of music. eMusic

One of the reasons I wanted the complete jackets box is I read that Horowitz took great care in sequencing his albums.
