On the Pablo CD "Bebop," Hot House is 18:44. Does anyone have full discographical info for the 3 Pablo discs?

I just got my copy today. Obviously a lot of love and care went into the packaging and production. I remember being not impressed with the music when I heard it in the '70's; I'm hoping I'll hear it in a different way today. So many people here spoke so highly of this album that I thought it's worth revisiting. But this is the way a rerelease should be done; bravo.

He had a great partnership with Tom Wilkes, who died not long ago; see Wikipedia. Also interesting because it covers the same cast of characters, see this article from today's WSJ: ‘Outlaw Blues’ Uses iPad to Explore Rock’s Back Pages

One of my favorite apps is Flashlight. It does exactly what it says: it turns your iPhone into a flashlight. Great for reading menus in dark restaurants. Another one we use every day is TuneIn Radio. Allows you to get any internet radio station anywhere in the world.

Mr. Robinson, who continues to actively tour at age 71, recently reflected on "My Girl"'s inspiration and creative evolution—and talked about how the song's famous guitar lick nearly was discarded. WSJ

A nice read. Thanks for sharing.

It does entice.

Unfortunately, it may be that you're unlucky! I only placed my order over the weekend. Just say: dogon it!

Yah, I got my shipping notice from Amazon yesterday.

If you're going to manufacture a CD, I think you need to make it a "collectible." Not just the music in a jewel box with an insert with a picture and track listings, but something special in addition. You'd have to give some thought to what that might be, since it needs to be genuine and integral to the group. Another thing to consider is an LP/CD combo, or even an LP/CD/mp3 combo. The LP in and of itself makes the package a collectible. Also, an LP requires an LP-sized cover, which is far more attractive and alluring than a CD-sized cover. Maybe also signed by the band members?

I thought Scott was referring to the perilous state of the record industry.

As I got older, I found it harder to read that tiny type in Cadence (also had less patience to do so). Understood that so much material to publish plus production cost constraints led to this. I therefore think an iPad app might be a great solution. iOS 5 (released today) has a Newsstand app that addresses this. It would be a shame to give Apple 30% of the cost of a subscription, though.

I actually like this post. Many people are annoying in varying proportions. You have to take the good with the bad.

Jimmy Smith - Retrospective. $16.06: Amazon mp3 I just noticed it's even cheaper on eMusic: $11.60.

I am deeply indebted to Apple iTunes for the shuffle function. I find I get to the unlistened-to CDs (and downloads) in the mix, even if it's just a random track at a time.

Yeah, it's not like he's Oscar Peterson or anything...
