Steamin' with the Miles Davis QuintetPrestige
Thank you, Cactus Bob, for restoring some sanity to this thread!
Sanity Really ?? There is a thread dedicated to jazz, but I think it's great that Cactus Bob shares his vinyl collection with us here.
Yes, really. I enjoy rock recordings also, but sometimes I get the impression that this thread is a competition between posters on who has the most obscure garage band pressing.
Oh but those great obscure records are part of the thrill of the hunt. And just maybe folks here are more likely to enjoy our enthusiasm than spouses or friends less devoted to music and audio gear. I think of this more as a mutual admiration society than a competition, a great way to share new discoveries, old loves and the occasional "not my bag"/"I don't get it" LP (seems not everyone digs the new MBV as much as I do). Speaking of which, have I mentioned the live Bowie bootleg from '72 that I grabbed this weekend? Eric, you may be pleased to know I also grabbed Miles Smiles and Mingus' Oh Yeah (both mono).
+1 Everyone has a right to their opinion. neo
You're absolutely right and I love to share my collection online since no one here could give rats ass."But" I'm thinking I need a break so I'll be signing off for a while enjoy all............Bill
Bill aka pumpkin will be back, I'm sure...Paul
Yes, everyone has a right to their opinion, but sometimes it's best to keep that opinion to oneself. I hope Eric didn't mean it this way, but his post about bringing sanity back to this thread came across as arrogant and demeaning, as though jazz is a better form of music than garage rock or psychedellic and he didn't care for the P-man's posts. That may be Eric's opinion (others too), but I can assure you it is not shared by all who post ITT. There are many of us who look forward to Bill's posts about some new garage band or obscure find that we had missed in the day. The post of the Riot on Sunset Strip soundtrack was to die for and many of us looked at that cover with envy. I know it is now on my "must find" list. That Moon LP is a collector's item for sure and it also is on my "must have" list. I enjoy seeing what folks are listening to. You will never catch me listening to jazz, but I would never imply that someone posting jazz records shouldn't post them ITT or was taking the thread into the land of insanity. I just skip over them and wait for the next rock, blues, folk posting. I especially enjoy being reminded of records from the 60s & 70s I have in my collection, but haven't listened to for a while. I also enjoy learning about new music. Two summers ago Bill & Cathy and I met for the first time at the Rock N Roll HOF and had a wonderful 4 days in Cleveland touring the HOF and shopping for records. We met on AC and have a friendship that began on AC and grew out of fondness for similar types of music. We are all music lovers and vinylholics or we wouldn't be hanging out ITT. Mutual repsect for each others tastes would go a long way to maintaining peace and harmony ITT.Peace and happy listening to whatever your heart and ears desire. Laura
I know the topic is LP's, but is it OK if I post some 78's here? I have some that NOBODY has heard of and I'm sure to win the competition!
What's the point of this post, do you object to obscure records? Should we just allow Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus and others you approve of?Quite awhile ago I posted the Harmonic Choir, a very strange record, should I have not posted it? Seems to me, the greatest value of this thread is in seeing records you might be unfamiliar with, not the same old thing. I don't think I ever posted a Miles or Mingus record even though I listen to them. Sometimes when I play records in my collection that are great records but not well known, I post them. While I respect your opinion or preference, it's been brought to my attention that a member here feels disrespected by your comments. I know it's easy to misunderstand the intent of a post. Words, phrases, can be interpreted differently. At first I might have been thinking you meant something other than what you did. I'm not sure. When it comes to modern rock, my ignorance has no bounds and that is the basis of my objection. I'm not the moderator here, just want to remind you that back when they kept track of record sales, jazz and classical made up around 3% of all sales.neo
