701 Club - QQ All-Star
Thanks for the Graham Central Station, will be playing it MANY times.
Same exact conditions with me here in Texas.My bundle has just been delivered in the UK. I was very lucky as it turns out, as the cardboard box was not sealed at either end (it never had been, so not opened by customs)and all 4 could have fallen out in transit! The Ellington case was cracked, but at least all four arrived.
The USPS is unpredictable at best. Tracking updates are often not reality.Mine was supposed to be delivered on Saturday, but it has been sitting in Kansas City FedEx since last Thursday (around 100 miles from my doorstep) with no scheduled hand-off to USPS. Today I got an email with a new expected delivery date of tomorrow. Gnarlywood...shipping at its finest.![]()
Exactly the same for me, I just pulled out the flap and the cases fell out AND the Duke Ellington case was smashed.My bundle has just been delivered in the UK. I was very lucky as it turns out, as the cardboard box was not sealed at either end (it never had been, so not opened by customs)and all 4 could have fallen out in transit! The Ellington case was cracked, but at least all four arrived.
Nearly the same here Duncan. Simon the Evri delivery chap said he was tempted to have a peek inside. He was joking ....he's a good man who I trust..My bundle has just been delivered in the UK.

The quad version is 16 seconds longer than the stereo.The Bette Midler disc is authored differently than all the others. The stereo and quad are on two totally different “titles” rather than being two tracks under the same title.
I agree that it's one of the lesser possible "evils:" preserve the original mixes, at the cost of seamless branching between them. Another compromise could be to pad the shorter tracks with silence and keep them on the same title, but that would mess with album flow. Regardless, the last thing I think any of us want is for edits to be made, such as those found on the Pink Floyd Immersion Blu-rays/DVDs.The quad version is 16 seconds longer than the stereo.
I much prefer the way Rhino did this disc compared to how they handled the Alice Cooper title that also had major differences between the two versions.
Agreed. If you're not familiar with blues guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Johnny "Guitar" Watson, you should investigate some of his late 70's output. He gravitated towards a more funk/R & B style with some humor thrown in.Finally, Graham Central Station
Left these cool dudes to last as it's a wonderful album.
This type of music is right up my street.
Funky.
We all need some funk in our lives.![]()
Oh yes Indeedy.Agreed. If you're not familiar with blues guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Johnny "Guitar" Watson, you should investigate some of his late 70's output. He gravitated towards a more funk/R & B style with some humor thrown in.
