Ok, I am hoping for an answer from Cuscuna and I am trying to help put this issue to rest since I have a strong suspicion that if we don't have some sort of resolution it will keep coming back again and again.  So, for the sake of clarity and to k...

O-10, I realize that I haven't earned the classification of "aficionado" (although I seem to have graduated to "connoisseur"), but since this is an open forum I will give this a stab eventhough you ask the question of your fellow "aficionados".  M...

O-10, I have no way of knowing (and I’m not sure you do either) whether the records you speak of (and yes, I know what lps are, I have 3500 of them) where actually released, or whether they are copies that, as I tried (in vain) to describe to you ...

Jon Hendricks:Why on earth would it suffer the same fate as the Bey Sisters?  Great stuff indeed.  Rok, you may not recall, but I posted that very Freddie Freeloader clip a couple of years ago (!).  And, coincidentally and if memory serves, I post...
