Dan Gould Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Check this out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4746141479&rd=1 Anyone else know that this was issued in Japan with Alfred Lion's speech on one side of a 45, with Hank, Ruth Lion, Cuscuna on the other?

brownie Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Never heard of that 45! Anyone going to bid for that item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I'd like to but since he's got a reserve on, it's probably going to be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Yeah, real expensive! Maybe we can pool our resources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hell, I've got the US release, all I need is the 45. Need to find somebody to go jack that puppy. Where's Aric now that we really need him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hmmm.....strange... It says the high bid is $1.25 and that Big John P. made the bid.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robviti Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hmmm.....strange... It says the high bid is $1.25 and that Big John P. made the bid.. ← if you click on the bid history you get this message: Only actual bids (not automatic bids generated up to a bidder's maximum) are shown. could this mean that his bid will rise, up to a maximum of $33, as others people bid?

JSngry Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Reading the fine print, I see this: On the B-Side of the 45 - A message from Hank Mobley - Michael Cuscana & others! And others! How many others? Is it possible that Hank's "speech" consists of only a few sentences? Remember, by most accounts, he was pretty loaded that night. There were lots of people giving "speeches" that night, and this sounds like it might be a collection of soundbites. It is, after all, a 45. I'd still love to have/hear it, but at what cost?

It looks like there is a total of four sound clips, with Ruth Lion listed at the top and Hank at the end. So if Cuscuna is one of the others, that leaves one "mystery" speaker.

JSngry Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 You can read that fine print? Wow... Ok, 4 bands on a 45, 7-8 minutes tops on a speech-only 45, Hank's loaded, how much do you think it's going to be of him? Again, I'd love to hear it, but at what price? I still say we need Aric to go jack this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a suspicion this dude has a reserve of at least $100 . .. but what if we solicited donations, and tried to snap this up together, and shared and shared alike? I suspect most people have the music itself, but anyone who doesn't gets an expert transfer of the vinyl, and everybody gets an expert transfer of the 45, regardless. First thing would be to determine the number of people actually willing to contribute, and determine whether they want to contribute a set amount, toward a single bid, or authorize a maximum bid, to be divided evenly based on the number of participants in the bidding group. I'm gonna start a new thread to do just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
