I grew up in Santa Barbara. Get some Mexican food at La Super Rica. The Santa Barbara Independant is a pretty good reference for stuff to do there.

I just noticed that on the Official Hendrix website they have several "bootleg" recordings of complete shows that you can stream for FREE. If you click on the "Multimedia" link at the top of the home page and then "Concert Recordings" you will see a list of shows from Madison Square Garden, The Forum, Chicago, Frankfurt and many others. The quality varies from fair to poor, but still a great opportunity to hear some previously unreleased stuff. Check it out.

... or Haight-Ashbury.

FYI - Guernsey's finally posted the "realized" prices of the auction. You can download a PDF of an Excel file HERE. The only caveat is that the list is by Lot #, and not otherwise identified. So if you don't have the catalog, it won't be much help.

Maybe the "album" IS an aberration. I hadn't thought of that. Still......I like to listen to music in the order that it was released. I usually don't care for "best of's" or collections (not that there's anything WRONG with them. ). FWIW, I just recently picked up the remastered version of Mayall's "Turning Point". I has been a favorite of mine since it came out. Now with the extra tracks.....even better.

Interesting point, Jim. It looks like we may have come full circle on that, actually. With all the downloading and so forth, people seem much more "tune" oriented than "album" oriented. They just load up their iPod/MP3 players, put them on "shuffle" (or a customized "playlist"), and listen to a set of previously unrelated songs. Having discovered music in the mid-to-late 60's, I grew up with the rise of FM radio and album-oriented listening. I guess that's why I still prefer to listen that way. I always like to think that there is some method to the producer's/artist's madness when putting together a set of tunes.

Great album! Doesn't change my vote, though.

If you like Jack Bruce, then "Harmony Row" is a masterpiece, IMO. I'm a BIG fan, but admitidly, his music is not for everyone. Songs for a Tailor is a classic in its own right. Some tunes to listen to are: "Never Tell Your Mother she's Out of Tune" with L'Angelo Misterioso on guitar (a/k/a George Harrison). Remember, he's on Cream's "Badge", too. "Theme for an Imaginary Western" made somewhat popular by Mountain. "Rope Ladder to the Moon" covered really well by Colosseum Spedding also has quite a few solo albums that are interesting, if nothing else. Check out "I'm Not Like Everybody Else".

They had to fill the DVD up with SOMEthing!

Sam Rivers Mosaic blah, blah, blah, blah, ... "the music here should be considered a cornerstone of any self-respecting avant-garde collection. [This set is out of print, a real shame since it is the only form in which any of Rivers' Blue Note recordings are available.]" I guess the seller hasn't looked at the BN site for a while.

FWIW, you might want to move this thread to "Audio Talk". That one is more equipment oriented.

Oh, yeaaaaahhhhhhh!!! It was certainly RECORDED in '67 and, I believe, released at the end of the year. One of my all-time favorite albums, BTW. Also in 1967:

Yet ANOTHER great reason to vote for 1967. B-)

Had to go with 1967: "Are You Experienced?" "Surrealistic Pillow" "The Doors" Can't beat that trio.

BH - ALWAYS worth seeing! I've seen him several times in several settings. Never a bad moment.

"Hang 'Em High"!!!

I agree- I just got this today from yourmusic.com (only 3 days after I ordered it!! wow!)-the extra tunes from the sessions are quite "jammy", probably a good decision to leave them off the original release as they aren't all that interesting for the most part, although the bonus Treat is outstanding. And the Woodstock performances are blistering!!! My oh my they were really inspired or something that day. Carlos has a nice raunchy tone on the Woodstock Jingo I remember reading an interview with Carlos who admitted to being on LSD that day. He wasn't expecting to go on right away but they moved the bands appearance up right about the time Carlos was peaking. He said that he prayed to keep in tempo and time. In your opinion did he succeed? I recently picked this one up myself. Nice set - ALL of it. I like the various versions of these tunes. They all bring something different to the table.

That's OK. Apparently Senator Bill Frist (a/k/a "Doctor" Bill Frist) seems to think that in MIGHT be possible to get aids from tears or sweat. The Daily Show has shown the same clip from ABC's Sunday morning show a number of times showing George Stephanopoulos aghast that Frist won't back down from this statement.

Stanley Cowell's piano on Tolliver's "Live at Slugs". Doesn't bother me, though. Actually adds to the sound, IMHO.

The only other old BN I have is Wayne Shorter's "Super Nova" and it's definitely Liberty. It's a "BST" cat #, the cover says "Blue Note Records Entertainment from Transamerica Corporation", and the label says "Blue Note Records - A Division of Liberty Records, Inc."

I wish I knew what the "ear" looks like. Not that I see anything other than the 'hand-written' catalog # on the inner vinyl, anyway.

So, is the consensus that if it doesn't have the "ear", then it's not "original"?

Could be a Liberty-era pressing of this one The Blue Note labelography site says that Liberty-era disks had "BLUE NOTE RECORDS · A DIVISION OF LIBERTY RECORDS, INC" printed on the label. (not "NEW YORK USA") No. There are some LPs pressed in the 'Liberty' era (ie. just after Alfred Lion sold up) which still have the 'NY USA' labels. Hmmmmmm......interesting.

Re-released a couple of years ago as The Masked Marauders "The Complete Deity Recordings" on Rhino/HandMade
