So much for your false claim that he

"...bought the vinyl for the sheer musical enjoyment"

He bought and sold it as a financial gambit, unless you define buying and
selling collectables as "sheer musical enjoyment".


Arny. Please read again. He bought it, but *did not/will not* sell it.
He did indeed acquire it for the sheer musical enjoyment.

IOW, thanks Ian for contradicting yourself within about 3 posts!
I did not contradict myself, and my name is not written Ian. I can
see better with two i's :-)

Anything else? :-))

Cordially,

Iain

No Ian, now you are trying to cover up the fact that you can't write
clearly.

I think the meaning of my message was totally clear.
Can I rephrase it for you in any other way, to clarify that he bought but
did not/will not sell the LP?

Can I also send you a number of "i" vowels so that you can insert them
first in upper and then in lower case respectively
as the first and third letters of my name?

Cordially,

Iain

Of course you do. You probably can't separate what you wrote from what you
were thinking. They are often two different things, you know!

I recorded a jazz concert earlier this week.
A Swedish tenor saxophone player in the
band, a guy in his early 30's,
told me that he had just come back
from an auction in Berlin, where he had
bought a sealed vinyl pressing of
"DUKE ELLINGTON LIVE AT NEWPORT"
(the legendary concert recorded in 1956
where Paul Gonsalves played an astounding
27 chorus solo in "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue")

He bought the album in auction and paid Euro286
that's UKP200. It was a sealed review copy.

He told me also that he has the double CD (Euro23)
with lots of previously unreleased material, which he
bought as a tool to enable him to learn and evaluate the
construction of the Gonsalves solo, being able to stop,
start and loop the CD player as and when required.

He grinned and added, " But I bought the vinyl for
the sheer musical enjoyment"

Well. we got there in the end:-)

Everyone else seemed to understand my meaning -
including the chap who wrote to me off-group to see if he
could buy the album (that's how I know that the new proud
owner is not willing to sell it:-)

Iain, I'm very sure that at least several hundred people read this forum. In
the absence of a corresponding number of confirming posts, I know that your
word is not to be taken at face value.

Please your self Arny:-)
But you were the only one that misconstrued what I wrote, so we
must assume that as the other several hundred did not complain
they understood perfectly.

Please also make allowances for the fact that English is no
longer my first language.

There was also one chap who made contact by phone wanting to
buy the album. I didn't really catch his name, it was a bad line,
and he had a strong Scottish accent. Stewart... something or other:-))

Cordially,

Iain

Take this as a confirming post. It was clearly stated that the guy
broke the seal on the record, thereby wiping off a *lot* of the
'collector' value. The only possible reason for this is 'musical
enjoyment'. I might not agree with the general musical principle, but
Iain was perfectly clear in his statement of what happened, and
monetary gain could not possibly have been a motivation here.

Agreed. He might be a vomit-inducing goody two-shoes, but at least he wasn't
an ambiguous vomit-inducing goody two-shoes...
