OK. One more........with a different "bent".

Whoa, B3-er - Larry buttin' heads with himself! Wild.

OK. Here's my attempt. Nothing new - just a different "angle".

Personally, I thought the LT covers were cheap looking. The photos were OK, but slapped in the middle of that generic cover, it just didn't do anything for me. ... but that's just my opinion. I could be wrong!

Nice Beefheart reference! B)

Yes. It rocks harder than many "rock & roll" albums! Astounding.

"LT" editions were early 80's releases of previously unissued BN sessions. The covers were all the same except for the photo inserted in the center. They were otherwise mostly white with identical graphics. Some of the LTs that I have are: Lee Morgan - "Tom Cat", "Infinity" Wayne Shorter - "Etcetera" Jackie McLean - "Consequence" Dexter Gordon - "Clubhouse" Grant Green - "Solid" Hank Mobley - "Third Season" **Update: I missed the other posts on this page describing the cover when I wrote mine. Jim's description is much better. Here's one that's on ebay:

A whole handfull for Kenny:

Freddie wants TWO.

Looks like a great cover to me! What did the LT look like?

I can't seem to get in, either. Geeeeeeez. This is making a dull morning at work.......really bad.

EMusic is totally licensed and legal. No problem what-so-ever with the RIAA on this one. As for what you can do with your MP3s - you can do whatever you want with them. You own them. There's a free 50-tune, no committment trial period to see if you like the service. I recommend checking it out.

FYI for anyone wanting to get a bunch of this stuff inexpensively - EMusic has all the Prestige stuff. You could probably download most of it during the free 50-tune trial period. OTOH, it's a great deal at $10/month for unlimited downloads.

For $10/month it's an absolute NO-brainer. If you only d/l one album per month, it pays for itself (and who only downloads one album per month???)

Check out Tadd Dameron's "Mating Call". It's a quartet date with Trane, Philly Joe Jones and John Simmons on bass. A very nice set.

James Brown.

Just found a copy of "After Hours". Really looking forward to checking this one out.

Just picked up "Straight Ahead" not realizing that it was the same album as "The Message". I had downloaded "Message" from EMusic, but had yet to listen to it. Anyway, I'm sure the CD is better quality than than the 128K MP3s that I already have. First time through, it's not grabbing me as anything special, but I think it needs repeated listenings. I'm still learning about J.R. at this point, anyway. The only other album I have with him is the live Kenny Dorham set.

Be careful, Chris, after you see the other jazz available there, you may become an EMusic-a-holic, like myself. B)

EMusic

Seems like no deal to me. I did a focus group about them several months ago, and all I kept saying was that their pricing schedule was out of whack. Apparently they didn't listen too well. $9.95/month PLUS paying for "burn" rights and whatever else they charge per tune/album is rediculous.

So, Chris, get yourself an EMusic account and you can have the whole enchilada for $10/month. In fact, you could probably just do the FREE 50-tune trial and get a good portion of that stuff without spending a penny.

Sorry, Jim ...

So, anyone picked up "Search For The New Land" or "Adam's Apple"?? Are they as great as they "should" be? Those two plus "MFJ" - I will have to pick up SOON.

Oh, MAN! Do I REALLY have to buy this A G A I N ??? Sounds like I do ... DAMN! ... that interactive stuff doesn't work on most newer versions of Windows anyway, does it?
