Ugh... who thought THAT was a good idea? I detest those bag sleeves. My biggest pet peeve with the Japanese Blue Notes (I guess most Jap. reissues really) is those stinkin' plastic / rice paper bag sleeves. The LP, sleeve, inserts, obi, etc... are all expertly done, only to be done in by those bags!

Thanks for the tips guys... don't think signin' up for this forum is going to do my wallet any favors. Now playing: Horace Parlan Headin' South on Jp Toshiba LP

33... but T minus 8 days 'til #34.

Thanks for the link Brownie! Will definitely check it out. Yep... sorry for the typo's. Late night last night... chaperoning the Homecoming Dance.

Newbie time: Roach / Clark / Duvalier (Time) - Can't get enough of Mr. Clark! David Murray - I Want to Talk About You (Black Saint) - John Hicks on pn. Nice long groove on Morning Song, by far my favorite Murray piece (an album!) Bruebeck - Reunion (Fantasy) - Not really my thing, but it was cheap and on cool red vinyl so I took a flyer. Still not my thing, at least not today. Horace Silver - Trio Sides (BN Two-fer) - Now THAT's more like it. Good to hear his originals in the trio setting... nice contrast to quintet takes. Jimmy Smith - On the Sunny Side (BN LT) - Smith, Bailey, Burrell w Turrentine and Percy France. Just picked this up on Friday. Great stuff... but I guess it didn't pass BN standards when it was recorded. Is the LT the first (only?) release for these recording? The Turrentine piece is rock solid. Percy France... where did he go? I can't find anything on the guy. He's on my Freddie Roach LP's but little else. Anything else worth checking out? Newbie out.

Anyone know if this will be released on LP? Most of BM's albums are available on LP and I seem to recall an interview (Stereophile?) where he mentioned it was in his contract at the time.
