Don't know if this has been mentioned before. While scouting around archive.org, I found 93 programs of the AFRS Jubilee. They're at 128 kbps, are all free, and can be downloaded in one shot (see VBR ZIP on the left side). archive.org

I know I wasn't on the email list for many years, even when I should have been.

IIRC, print-through is when music has been stored on the reel of the reel-to-reel tape for a long time; under certain conditions, the magnetic layers of tape "print-through" to the next layer - the magnetic filaments can move some of the filaments on the adjacent layer to have the same pattern, creating the same sounds. Because only some of the filaments move, this creates a ghostly affect that you can hear underneath the original sound that's on the tape.

I've seen these releases in various lo-fi semi-bootleg releases over the years. Does anyone know the circumstances of the original concerts and how they were recorded? Are there any "official" releases? Do any versions sound better than others? Which releases are the most complete? I heard the Laserlight version once, and audio was pretty bad. Any info would be appreciated. Here are some examples:

I love Stevie Wonder's version of Blowin' In The Wind. It was a minor hit for him.

And I can't believe that Mosaic would dislike any additional sales this might provoke. None of these titles are new or last chance, and, though I had been thinking of it for awhile, it's unlikely I would have pulled the trigger on the Hampton box without this impetus. It just makes life a little more interesting during these dog days of July.

Here are the relevant paragraphs: BRUSSELS—Universal Music Group is preparing to offer major concessions to European antitrust regulators by Thursday night, about two days later than initially planned, as it seeks approval for its proposed $1.9 billion acquisition of EMI Music. The delay came as the music giant appeared to stumble in its efforts to win support for its deal from smaller, independent rivals. Universal will likely need to offer significant divestitures to overcome the Commission's objections, which were particularly strenuous, according to people who have reviewed them. The commission's "statement of objections" was delivered to Universal and its parent, Vivendi SA, in mid June.... To allay the regulators' concerns and get its European market share to below 40%, Universal is looking to sell off several of EMI's music labels and recording catalogs, according to people familiar with the situation.... The proposed divestitures are expected to include the European operations of Virgin Records, along with at least some of EMI's catalogs of jazz and classical recordings, according to these people.

Latest news...Universal may be required to sell Blue Note to seal the deal! WSJ

Bob Dylan - "Tempest" - release date Sept 11. Press Release WSJ

Cooder did a Joseph Spence song ("Great Dream From Heaven") on his second album "Into The Purple Valley."

The cover photo's from the wrong era; it should have been more like:

Another intriguing new release. I don't know of Emil Viklicky, but he was mentioned in a prior thread about Eastern Europe Jazz Musicians.

This one looks interesting. I've never heard of Grimal. Release date August 14.

Thanks!

What's the best place to acquire these? Amazon has them for $22.82.

This one looks very interesting: "These recordings from Martino's personal collection document the easy interplay and chemistry that he had forged with rhythm guitarist Bobby Rose on their first duet tour during the summer of 1977. Both men were at the very peak of their powers during these years and we are fortunate to have these superb performances preserved for posterity."

Let's not forget double-knits.

John C. Reilly is a really good actor. Ever see "Chicago"? He shone in that.

Hilarious! That made my day. Thanks for posting. "That's got to be Eric Dolphy - nobody else could sound that bad! The next time I see him I'm going to step on his foot." "Is that what the critics are digging? Them critics better stop having coffee. If there ain't nothing to listen to, they might as well admit it. Just to take something like that and say it's great, because there ain't nothing to listen to, that's like going out and getting a prostitute."

Allow me to put in an admiring word about Jeff Daniels in Dumb & Dumber. Jim Carrey is a comedian, so pretty much acted out his persona. Jeff Daniels is a real actor; if you saw his roles in Terms Of Endearment and Purple Rose of Cairo (among many others), his performance in D&D was nothing short of amazing. Hell, he deserved an Academy Award for that performance! He must be given his props for such high moronic-ness.

Why not try contacting him? He might not be hard to find: NY Times Elements of Jazz

Forty-eight years ago this summer, songwriting spouses Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann wrote "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" with Phil Spector. Today, the song is No. 1 on BMI's list of most-played songs on radio and TV since the royalty-collection agency's founding in 1939. (Ascap, the other major royalty organization, doesn't track such data.) In the years since the Righteous Brothers' "Wall of Sound" hit, dozens of artists have covered the slow-burn ballad about lost love and the near-tears wish for its return. Veterans of pop-rock's golden age, Ms. Weil, 71, and Mr. Mann, 73, have won two Grammys and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. Last week, they and surviving Righteous Brother Bill Medley, 71, talked about the song's evolution and how Mr. Spector (currently serving a sentence in California for second-degree murder) summoned them to Los Angeles in 1964 to write a song for the Righteous Brothers, whom he had just signed.

Good catch, Jim! I did a search on Blakey Sweden Wrong Note and came up with this: Rate Your Music Now I can sleep easier. It is a very well done BN knock-off.
