Chakster wrote, "And I have to mention that rare American records are much cheaper in the USA than in UK, Europe or Japan."  From my experience shopping for LPs in Tokyo, I have to agree, and I would add that the LPs need not be very "rare" in ord... 
Chet Backer - Craft Recordings
I love his playing, but do you have a question? Best recent Chet Baker LPs that I have heard are from Sam Records, based in Paris and pressed in France, all mono only. Sam also has some Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, etc, all superb.

I can lighten up on my Valium.I don't think you have to worry a bit, if you miss out on this particular unit. There have been more than a dozen of them placed on sale, mostly on eBay, since March 10.  Check "Hi-Fi Shark".

Is this to fix your goofy foot? Sorry, could not resist, and I do hope the surgery you require has nothing to do with any life threatening situation. If the condition IS life threatening, you don't need our advice.  You need to move forward.Your L... 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
I have been reading contretemps such as these for years, on this Forum and also on Tweaker's Asylum.  I cannot remember ever even one instance where two guys who vehemently disagreed on the efficacy of this or that tweak eventually came to hold a ...
