I love Fats Waller’s music. He was a real master, and I wish we could have had him fr longer.


This is one of those songs that universally gets in deep…

Posted here before by me and others. In the final analysis, I want happy music in my life…this fits the bill…

I’ve spent 10s of thousands of dollars to get this to sound like it does…God I love this hobby!

…or this…
not an lp/disk or digital but good old fm…
great jazz after 7 every night…and great DJ’s…
Downloaded and gave a listen based on the glowing review in the Friday edition of MusicWeb (http://musicweb-international.com/classrev/2018/Dec/Mahler_erde_900172.htm). It is really good on first hearing. My only quibble is the orchestra sounds just a bit distant in this live recording.

This is a 1994 bootleg collection of studio outtakes and alternates from the albums Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde, recorded January 15, 1965 to January 21, 1966.



Isn’t Proper one of those labels that skirts copyright laws and avoids royalty payments to artists? Too bad if true. I have several and they are generally good like this one.

Disc 3 - I’ll be glad when your dead…You Rascal you…
It is frustrating such labels exist.
It is bad enough that people copy albums for friends and/or post them. (And no, you do not get to sell the physical CDs after you have ripped them- sell the CD, delete the copies you have.) But to make a profit off of an artist is even more despicable.
Getting rid of CDs is a dilemma in my life. I’m swimming in them and we’re trying to shrink our “stuff” footprint. I can’t think of an ethical way to get rid of them and keep the rips.
What about donating the CD’s to a public library? Not sure about the legalities, but that is arguably more ‘ethical’ than selling the CD’s.
Thought about that, turns out they really don’t want them. They just sell them to a dealer.
Ugh! If it would help you out, I would volunteer to take the CD’s off your hands and sign an affidavit vowing never to sell them!
