The description of the condition is what killed me. The guy wants
minimally 45 bucks for the record but says the marks on the record don't
affect the play "appreciably". Then he says "Great file copy".
Har de har har.
Sure. It plays okay. If you have two copies, this could be the copy you
don't play. Just file it away. It'll cost you 56 dollars with shipping.

And the irony about this is that someone who hasn't done their research will pay a lot of money for a poor copy of this instead of a few bucks for the reissue that's been floating around for a few years. But then again, I guess that's just kind of funny, someone profiting off of someone's ignorance... Am I bad? Okay. But what exactly is the purpose of a "file copy" of a record? Something you spend a lot of money on to just look at and wonder about? I don't get it. I get spending a dollar on a record in a thrift that you wonder about that isn't in great shape to see if it's something you want to look for in good shape, but I don't get spending $45 or more on something you can't even really play.

too bad "lp-cover-lover" is bidding on it, he usually is willing to pay
whatever it takes to get what he wants.
More groovy soundtrack suggestions:
Try "Treasure of San Gennaro" by Armando Trovajoli - check the spelling on
that, different than what's on Seven Golden Men
http://www.basichip.com/covers/treasure.jpg thats Senta Berger on the cover
Or I Love You Alice B Toklas - no individual tracks on that record, but they
do stop and start..
Vic Mizzy's "Don't Make Waves" (Make Love) has some swinging Malibu go go
sounds on it..
I recall a couple of really cool tracks on "No Way to Treat A Lady" by
Stanley Myers...his "Kaleidoscope" is great too..
How about Giggling Girls from the "What A Way to Go!" Nelson Riddle score?
I love soundtracks, even though sometimes you only get a small handful of
decent tracks, maybe less.
Great suggestions everyone, I've updated my wish list. :)

Subject: (exotica) [obits] John Elliot Sutherland, Frankie Carle, Ted McMichael
LOS ANGELES (AP) - John Elliot Sutherland, an acclaimed industrial and
educational filmmaker whose subjects ranged from cancer to steel-making, died
Feb. 17. He was 90.
Sutherland began making training films for the military during World War II. He
went on to produce about 20 movies each year, including ``A Is for Atom'' for
General Electric and ``The Spray's the Thing'' for DuPont.
In 1957, Time magazine called him one of the top creators of industrial shorts.
One of Sutherland's best-known works was his award-winning ``Rhapsody of
Steel'' for U.S. Steel, a 1959 Technicolor epic with music by Dmitri Tiomkin
and the Pittsburgh Symphony.
NEW YORK (AP) - Frankie Carle, a big-band leader best known for ``Sunrise
Serenade,'' died Wednesday. He was 97.
Carle, who died in Mesa, Ariz., reached the high point of his popularity during
World War II, when he was the focus of a bidding war among bands.
His repertory was wide, ranging from classics like a revival of Stephen
Foster's ``Swanee River,'' to a World War II release that anticipated the
Allied victory called ``I'm Going to See My Baby.''
Although Carle's music did not rank high on record industry charts after the
1940s, he still toured and played concerts into the 1980s, some 70 years after
he began his musical career.
CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) -- Ted McMichael, a founder of the popular 1940s
quartet the Merry Macs, has died of pneumonia. He was 92.
McMichael died at St. John's Pleasant Valley Hospital on Feb. 27, said
his niece, Nelda McMichael Gruenthal.
The Merry Macs had several Top 10 hits including ``Mairzy Doats,''
``Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition'' and ``Sentimental Journey.''

If this is from the same source that the CD version is from it was bootlegged
from a copy of the record with a lot of surface noise.

Brian... nobody is interested in this, even those who originally posted to this. ZERO reaction on almost anything interesting. I really feel like Jack Diamond now, like giving giving giving and never getting anything back. All I can say on this subject is, that there are loads of interesting new productions out there and the fact that someone just doesn't care and doesn't listen to the stuff, doesn't allow him to state, that there isn't anything at all or that music was better then. Close your ears, zip your Zombie and live in a dream world in the past.

I hope you bought the Bimbo Jet! just before I left Montreal last year I found this one record shop (the one upstairs that also sold sex magazines) stuffed with tons of records and only because I already knew I wouldn't be able to carry home one single more record I didn't go into details there. They had incredible stuff though. Have you ever checked that shop out? Did it close down?
thought this might be of interest... Emusic http://www.emusic.com/ is giving one free album downloadable, apprently you only need to give them an email and a password...
