7/4 Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I just finished my first spin and 7/4 approves! I love the artwork too. ← The cartoon like images of us are so bizarre! Joe looks 20 years older ← Now I'm checking out the cover and I notice the server is Zora and the table is B3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTMX Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I got my copy yesterday and I'm loving everything about this recording. The compositions are good, the performances solid, and the artwork is clever. I see this one spending a lot of time in my CD changer (went from the mailbox to the CD player in one swift motion yesterday, bumping Gary Numan in the process). Looking forward to many more listenings. Great work, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Shearn Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Randy, you look like Paul Wertico in your portrait seriously, your face reminds me of Wertico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Let's see, I've aged Joe well beyond his years, and turned Randy into Paul Wertico. Dang it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Stream Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Funny how 3 of those 10 are organ records. The Ximo Tibar is also outstanding with Dr. Lonnie Smith on Organ. And the Terry Gibbs has Joey Defrancesco on organ. Really smokin' stuff. Looks like Organissimo is in a rough crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonym Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I've just this minute ordered it; hell, I feel like I'm missing out big time and it's only been out a few days. Looking forward to hearing it a great deal, especially since my impromptu meeting with 2/3 of the trio. Wait a second, my in-laws were at Niagara last Sunday; maybe I should have told them to hang around there a while, nip across the border, buy a local A-Z, and run and get me my copy. Then again, my father in-law thinks I'm weird enough as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregN Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Man, the positive reviews at CDBaby keep stacking up. Plus, organissimo is getting some major airplay nationally, and the press is making contact. Very exciting stuff. Jim, Joe, and Randy, very publically, I want to add, Great Work! Love you guys. Thanks for the inspiration. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really appreciate it. ← Is it a requirement that we actually listen before posting a review? I mean, I know I'm going to dig the album, why should I have to wait for the damn USPS to get the package from CD Baby to me???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
