Hi Gary,It just might be.
Have been thinking of posting here for a while but wanted to be sure posts don't become a battle royal as they do on a-gon

I hope so too!! There are already threads that I don't even bother visiting. I hope that they don't multiply.

Yeah, I need to stay out of more threads myself.

On-topic: Thanks for the suggestions, I need to stock up my Basie CD collection. Took a look last night and it's scary how many times I have performed the music relative to the one or two CDs I have... Need to listen more so I'll perform better!

Everybody knows a Duke beats a Count. Together they are unstoppable.

This one ain't too shabby either.

i think the pablo series are fantastic too...

I have several of the Basie AP 45 rpm reissues. The original Pablo pressings are no slouch either, if you can't find or want to pay for the OOP AP45s. These are a lot cheaper than original Blue Note or Impulse! albums.

Shhhh! You don't want to drive the price of original Pablo pressings up

I have a bunch of the Pablos, and bought a 45 rpm copy of Basie St. Also found a few others used on vinyl that are on their way. Will be pulling a listening session tomorrow. Thanks for the insights, all.

It always annoyed me that Princeton stuck price stickers on the covers, at least on the cheaper records that used to be in the stacks. (As I remember, the fancy records were kept behind the counter). My mono Starker Dvorak on Mercury has a Princeton sticker that can't be removed without damaging the cover. I guess it's a badge of honor because I think I paid $4.99 for the record.
