Well.........there ya go. Two threads in the "Mosaic & Other Box Sets" Forum. Who'd 'a' thunk it?

Lon - That's what I thought, too, but couldn't find it. BTW, Amazon has it for $35.99 - no tax or shipping.

This isn't really a "Reissue" because there is so much new and complete stuff. I hope it's OK to run this topic here. B) Just ordered the 4-disk set yesterday from Amazon. I've been reading great things on the other boards, so I can't wait until it shows up. I've had the 2 LP set forever and always thought it was classic music, so hearing it remastered and solos re-inserted should be a revelation.

Actually, I thought the 2nd Stone Roses album was pretty good, too. It had some Yardbirds overtones that I liked.

Just listened to the "Illinois Concert" for the first time last night. Mighty impressive. I'm looking forward to giving it several more spins!

I like the organization. They could have left the old page as a home page to click through or something, but that gets old......fast. This works - and as far as getting the message across quickly to newbies, I'm sure it serves its purpose. I won't be losing any sleep over it. THAT'S for sure.

I'm just happy to know that there's someone out there who's fighting foo!

I still don't like Radiohead - the vocals. WAAAAY too whiney. I suppose their musicianship and tunes are creative, but I can't get past the vocals.

I always thought that the Black Crowes were Rod Stewart Faces clones - who were themselves Stones wannabes (it's no accident that Ronnie Wood became a Stone). Not being a fan of any of those groups, I will reserve comment otherwise. B) The Smiths had a great sound. They managed to pull off a striking combination of Morrisey's angst-ridden vocals and Johnny Marr's upbeat music. They did get a little tiresome towards the end and it was probably a good thing that they broke up, but those first 5 or 6 albums are classics.

Haven't heard it, but I would think that any alternate tracks from this era of Jack Bruce solo albums would be worth getting.

I agree with everyone's statements about Garbage. Their first album is definitely the best. The second one was OK, and I actually never got around to getting the third. ... but the FIRST one was GREAT! AfricaBrass, I'll give the new SuperGrass more listenings. Their other 2 had to grow (no pun intended) on me, so this probably will, too. If any of you stumble upon The Loud Family's "Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things", pick it up. It's very entertaining. Shades of Todd Rundgren, 10cc, and other pop/rock bands with an edge. For those with an EMusic account, they have a version of "Horse With No Name" on a collection of pop tunes by alternative artists. No matter what you think of the original version, you will definitely like THIS one.

Well............there ya' go. Thanks for the background, mnytime. Who knows WHEN it will come out, then!

I would think if they they are shipping promo sets, then it is pretty much a done deal. Claude - To my knowledge, Jimi never played with Miles. It was something in discussion, but never happened.

Holy Macaroni! I had no idea it was even CLOSE to being released.

Oh, well. I imagine it had to be an old show, just because of the production involved. I'm sure that 60 minutes (- commercials) would take at LEAST several months to film.

Wassamattawichyou? Duke Pearson! B)

I forgot to tape it OR watch it. How was it?

What's the deal with the 20+ Promo sets up there by the seller - sadg? How legit could this be? Although........the seller does have 100% positive feedback reviews and well over 200 of them. Interesting.

Well, I guess I got the time period right. Maybe under the circumstances, I should give it another listen, now knowing that it is a TRUE early 70's fusion experiment. It also reminded me a bit of Compost, the Harold Vick, Jack DeJohnette group of the same era.

Sorry, Jim. It doesn't do much for me. Just sounds like some early 70's fusion experiment, that isn't quite working.

That is a great album, although I don't know how rare it actually is. It hasn't been OOP for more than a year or two.

Hey, thanks for the "Illinois" input! I was particularly concerned about the recording quality. It sounds like it's fine. Cool. BMG is really cheap right now ($7.99 & no S/H), so I went ahead ordered it (along with Wes' "Full House").

Who would have thought that Wes Montgomery would get so few votes?

One of the "moderators" on the EMusic message board said that there will be lots more to come from the "Beggars" labels.
