Mystic symbols are where it's at:

Hands as political symbol: Power to the People!

Prepossessing headgear:

I think it's more than a little ironic that an article on the dignity of individuals is posted by Fox News, which has done more to coarsen and inflame social relations than probably any other media outlet.

What is that lady doing down there!? Ok, I'm skipping that, and the dummies, and going with: BOW TIES:

Nogales (Noh-gal-ezz) Alice Cramden Alice Cooper

Ditto for Bird. Ditto Alexander the Great, Percy Shelley, and Jesus.

Banksy Bailey Banks and Biddle Beetle Bailey

If it's above Houston St, I'm not likely to go there. Most of the really interesting stuff is south of Houston and over the Williamsburg Bridge.

It's like a cult over there.

Jonathan, when you say "in the future," does that indicate another (I assume 2nd) pressing of this release?

I've been collecting for years and honestly never saw it until the CD came out. Probably heresy to some people but, to my ears, the CD sounds better than the LP. Not to mention that the CD has an extra track. I can live with a CD sounding better than an LP. The Nessa releases always sound good. In this case, the CD must be pretty darn good, since the LP has really fine sound. Wonder how Chuck would rate them?

I've been collecting for years and honestly never saw it until the CD came out. I wonder if it was a much smaller press run? Anyway, a nice album, Ben Webster-ish in a way, and particularly nice on ballads. Listening to: Jenkins was a beautiful cat; his music has wonderful depths. Black Saint LP.

Jimmy Lyons Karen Borca Cecil Taylor

One of my favorite album covers. Jarman and Braxton, TOGETHER ALONE. Delmark LP.

Whims of Chambers Lord Peter Wimsey Dorothy L. Sayers

Thanks for moving us off that horrid Herbie pic!

I can't see going downscale; it will only enhance the limitations. You might take a look at this one; good performance and value for money (as these things go): NAD amp In my experience NAD amps are several steps down from Quad amps. Depends on model. This is a pretty good one. Of course, one could go higher up the scale too.

I guess the people at London did a pre-Photoshop Photoshop of Monk with stock footage of Picadilly Circus at night. But I think it looks quite nice, you know? But why change it? I agree. I'm sure it's got something to do with licensing, but , who knows, maybe London label didn't like the original album and thought this would look and sell better. Monk's smiling face and the London night scene might bring a few punters in who might otherwise not pick it up. It's odd to see Monk on an album cover without a hat; most of the time (not all) he's got some cool looking hat on. I was taking stock of my Nessa LPs, decided to give this one a spin. I've only seen this LP once while out shopping; mint copy (soI bought it). Perhaps it is it more often spotted in the Chicago-Midwest area? Great sound BTW.

How about Android-based phones?
