I was looking at that.

Yeah, after much deliberation (and finding out that amazon offers an exclusive bonus disc), I pulled the trigger.

More on that bonus disc - "[The Mono Box and the Bootleg Series Volume 9] will come with a notable bonus, if you buy [one of] the set(s) from Amazon: A previously unknown live recording of Dylan. Taped May 10th, 1963 at Brandeis University's First Annual Folk Festival, the tape sat in the archives of Rolling Stone co-founder Ralph Gleason's collection for over forty years. "It had been forgotten, until it was found last year in the clearing of the house after my mother died," says Ralph's son Toby Gleason. "It's a seven inch reel-to-reel that sounds like it was taped from the mixing disc. A collector/dealer associate of the family said 'This might be worth something to the Dylan office' and we sold it to them last year."

Live: Brandeis University, 1963

"Honey Just Allow Me One More Chance" (Incomplete)
"Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues"
"The Ballad of Hollis Brown"
"Masters of War"
"Talkin' World War Three Blues"
"Bob Dylan's Dream"
"Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues"

Just landed:





In a Silent Way


Can't say that I was terribly impressed with Miles' electric period, BUT In A Silent is not a bad recording, in fact, the title track is quite beautiful.

I grew curious about this album from a mention (and a clip of Miles and band in an outdoor concert) in Frank Zappa: The Freak Out! List

Same here, but I can see how folks dig it and EVERYTHING Miles did was cool no matter my opinion.  ;D

I hope there's at least a slight bit of irony behind that Beck cover, even though I'm guessing there isn't.

To sing the praise of the enduring brick-&-mortar shops . . . I chanced on this over at the Quincy Market Newbury Comics last week . . . two CDs with some previously unissued tracks, and a pr. un. DVD of a live performance in Copenhagen, in 1969:






Bitches Brew (Legacy Edition)


Back in my Buffalo daze, I remember buying the first CD reissue of this, and the album didn't sing to me.  But, I suspect today will be a different matter.

Ah, man!  We watched the first two episodes and are awaiting the last episode.....great stuff....stark, but great.  Did you follow the Inspector Lewis series prior to this one on Mystery, David?
