Shrdlu Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 You may have noticed that the Blue Note website has even removed the bulletin board tab now. But it has been announced that Michael Cuscuna is going to produce a box set of all the posts from the board, with assistance from Tom. The set, consisting of about 250 CDs, will be mastered in 24 bit by Ron McMaster, and is expected to retail for about $2500.98. A highlight will be Aric's account of his trip to Vancouver, BC. More details as they become available. Now, back to the presidential campaign, already in progress. Quote
couw Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 I heard this too. It's supposed to be a limited set. I bet the issue with the phone call to Lou should be worth something on ebay real soon. A pity that McMaster should get this assignment, I'd rather Malcolm Addey would have had a go at it. This will probably turn out another brittly affair. Still, I am very excited about this news!

Dave James Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 (edited) Personally, I'm holding out for the JRVG's. Howver, I understand if you order the domestic pressing and use a credit card, you get a bonus CD that includes all of Aric Effron's original BNBB messages and the responses from board members. This includes the famous Tom Evered post that rendered Mr. Effron tactically inert. Up over and out. Edited July 28, 2004 by Dave James Quote
.:.impossible Posted July 27, 2004 Report Posted July 27, 2004 I was very fortunate this weekend. I came across some great threads on lp this weekend, some of which were original 47 W 53rd! Vinyl rules. Quote
wolff Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 What will the packaging be like? Will they be edited? With them being copy protected, I hope they play in my car!! Quote
ghost of miles Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 Good news! This will put all those bootlegging pirates on E-Bay out of business... Quote
JSngry Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 This must be coming out on Lone Hill, 'cause I ain't seen a dime yet. Quote

I think we all overlooked certain language in the "terms of membership" agreement, Jim. Put it this way: by comparison, John Forgerty got a hell of a deal with Fantasy. G.d. publishing contracts!

JSngry Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 I ain't signed a damn thing, and my kids use my computer all the time. Dig? I need to find me a good suit who can exploit the public's current distaste for the entertainment industry. Laws and fine print be damned - it's time for emotion to rule! Class action suit, anybody? Can't go wrong there! Quote
jazzbo Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 If it doesn't come out on SACD, Greg won't buy it. Quote
RDK Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 If it comes out on DVD (or DVD-A) then one of the alternate audio tracks can be used to translate Aric's posts... Quote
Aggie87 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 I believe this archival BNBB photo is being considered for the box cover, or maybe one of the individual CD's... Quote
Claude Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 Does anyone still have the great Blue Note style Aric and Greg parody LP covers , which very posted on the BNBB? Quote
couw Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 Does anyone still have the great Blue Note style Aric and Greg parody LP covers , which very posted on the BNBB? thought I did, but can't find them. That "Maltz for SACD" was pretty hilarious. maybe we can remake some of them. Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 You guys gotta quite makin' fun of this guy's rigg! Quote
Claude Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 Thanks couw for the "Maltz for SACD" hint. I googled and found this AAJ thread which has all the Aric and Greg covers and some others: http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showthread.php?t=411 Quote

Dave James Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 I had never seen these album covers before. What a hoot! Someone has way too much time on their hands and that's just fine with me. Up over and out. Quote
Swinging Swede Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 Yes, what a hoot those covers were! Aric expressed concern that he was going bald, and then Kevin W posted all those covers! Brings back memories from the good old BNBB days... But I think one Aric cover is missing on that AAJ thread, so... Quote
DrJ Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 JSngry Posted: Jul 27 2004, 09:11 PM This must be coming out on Lone Hill, 'cause I ain't seen a dime yet. Naw, it's on Fresh Sound - they're puttin' out everything else. I ain't seen a dime yet either...though in fairness, they're probably scouring phone books across the country for people with the last name "Congeniality"! Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Check the Lou Donaldson phone call thread, archived on AAJ: http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showthread....s=&threadid=401 Thanks, Claude! Been a long time and that was a good laugh again! AL YEAH! Quote
Shawn Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) I've been asked by Ron McMaster in assisting with this project. The package will include a special bonus Greatest Hits CD with posts narrarated by famous Hollywood movie stars. We're still currently in the casting process and are looking for suggestions on who should be the voice behind your favorite BN Board posters. We've already signed William Shatner to play Aric.....

Shrdlu Posted July 30, 2004 Author Report Posted July 30, 2004 After recently re-watching "Tinker Tailor", I think it's too bad that Alec Guinness is no longer with us to narrate this forthcoming series. "There are three of them: Van Gelder, McMaster and Addey. Now which one will Poliakov contact?" Quote
Claude Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 (edited) You guys gotta quite makin' fun of this guy's rigg! Not only on this board ... SCD-1 + Ultra Khan 2 (his new $4500 power cord) Edited August 3, 2004 by Claude Quote
