Chuck Nessa Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I sold something like 9000 lps to finance the Art Ensemble box and subsequent cd reissues. A giant mixture of pleasure and regret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yeah, I believe it. I'd much rather have the Nessa CDs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I NEVER look at Kenny Dorham albums, so I didn't know that this was that and that was this; I just thought it was the other! MG must be coz you know em all by heart, any other explanation would simply be wrong  Myself, I'm good at not passing on music (too good, some think ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I sold my entire jazz collection during the great recession. It hurt for awhile, but honestly I've barely thought about it for the past few years. I still have some core items in my digital collection and what I don't have can easily be found on Spotify or Youtube to satisfy cravings. I doubt I will ever bother building up a physical collection (of anything) again.  Edited April 4, 2016 by Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 That's the CD reissue I have, but I bought a copy of the LP in excellent condition in the 1970's from a cutout bin. It sounded incredibly good. I should have kept it for the sound, excellent natural room ambience. I sold it when I had grown tired of listening to folk music and needed shelf space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her voice never thrilled me, but the music is good, for sure.  Any similar cases in point may be posted here - I rarely regret sales, but I'm afraid I must re-buy this one. I would have sold, traded or given away Rickie Lee Jones’ Pop Pop instead. Her voice is grating, while Sheila is always lots of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-year-old MacBook, so without disc drive (or USB port). At least my iPhone isn't so modern that I can't attach my nice Sennheiser in-ear headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has any discs for loading programs anymore? This is mind-boggling. I have a Windows 7 machine and a Windows 10 machine, both with disc drives and multiple USB ports, and one has excellent speakers which is how I listen when not in the car, and a 2014 Kia with a CD player (and a USB port which I do use on occasion). I can't imagine functioning without these.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 This conversation makes me feel very old. Bought a 2017 rather than 2018 Honda Accord to have a CD player in it, have four boomboxes as well as a component CD player (and a turntable) in the house, two of our four PC's (I even still have a desktop PC, though it will be my last one) have built in CD/DVD drives, and we have external CD/DVD drive for the other two. So I guess I'm redundant and obsolete at the same time, good trick.
