WTF: has any of u ever heard of this one? Is it rare and expensive? have any of u ever heard of this album? i just bought it! i have this album now! do any of u guys know about this album?

[Shawn]

Very cool. I remember reading about that one and being curious. Mike Fitzgerald would be the one to ask about this album.

[Ted O'Reilly]

Despite the headline, it ISN'T a Duke Pearson record. It was recorded 4 years after he died.

It's just a college band with a guest artist playing some Duke Pearson tunes. That's what it says, isn't it? Why would it have value to anyone but members of the band? Probably pressed a thousand copies, sold 165 to friends and family: it's a souvenir, a vanity record...

Stamm was on the original Pearson discs on BlueNote--why not seek them out and hear the masters play, rather than get worked up about amateurs?

I dunno about you O'Flattery but im gonna file it in my DUKE PEARSON section

[Ted O'Reilly]

Well, okay, but at the back, please...

[Ted O'Reilly]

wait'll you hear side 3 -

Allen, I hadn't noticed...is it auto-coupled, do you suppose? 1 & 4, 2 & 3...

[Daniel A]

Allen, I hadn't noticed...is it auto-coupled, do you suppose? 1 & 4, 2 & 3...

Never understood why they didn't make them 1 & 3, 2 & 4 so that you could play everything without interruption.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Allen, I hadn't noticed...is it auto-coupled, do you suppose? 1 & 4, 2 & 3...

Never understood why they didn't make them 1 & 3, 2 & 4 so that you could play everything without interruption.

If it's 1 & 4, 2 & 3, then you can play everything without interruption. All you need do is turn the pile over and the rest are in the correct order for uninterrrupted playing.

Rev C L Franklin's many 6 part sermons before the LP era were 1/6, 2/5, 3/4. So, when you put them on for play, you'd have them like this:

3

-

4

2

-

5

1

-

6

Side 1 would play first, then 2, then 3. Then you'd turn the pile upside down and it would look like this

6

-

1

5

-

2

4

-

3

so the second half of the sermon would play in the correct order.

Thanks for clearing this out, MG. I always thought these sets were designed for people with two record players. Then the only way to get continuous playback would have been 1/3 + 2/4. Never thought of a record changer.

As for the Pearson tribute album, it's actually not very good.

[AllenLowe]

actually, if you play the outside groove, you hear someone say "Duke is dead Duke is dead Duke is dead"
