But Jim, I didn't miss it. The sort of dealers you seem to hold in high
esteem are into the webby thingymebob also, Bigtime!
In Denmark street or Wix Lane or wherever, they are aware there is
a consumer base not local to their dealership, an example being that
there maybe a pensioner in Scotland and a dealer in London with the
pre-owned recording they want, thats where the internet delivers
the goodies.

Good. All you have to do now is to twig what I actually explained I
required from said dealers. :-) Hint given below...

Hint: What I was asking about isn't simply that they have a website on
which discs are listed and you can select ones to buy over the web. I've
been doing that via the 'web thingymbob' for some years. [1] If you use a
specific dealer in Jazz who meets what I explained about being
knowledgeable and helpful, please let me know. If I'd wanted a list of
discs, I'd have asked for it. :-)

[1] Indeed in the past I actually wrote websites for one or two dealers and
labels (classical music, though, so I guess you won't have noticed back
then).

Slainte,

Jim

Miles Davis is an interesting example for various reasons.

As I think I've already pointed out. Some pieces and recordings
often appear in many 'versions' on the web. Sometimes without details
like catalogue numbers or other differences. Sometimes only with
each 'version' available from different suppliers. It all makes
comparison and informed choice harder. This can get worse when we move
back into the timeframe where recordings are out of copyright,
so some 'versions' may be based on transcriptions of various sorts.

And of course jazz isn't simply a few super-stars like Davis
who is known even to those who know little about Jazz.


Man I'd hate to be seated next to you on a long haul from Glasgow to Sydney.

Do you really expect a dealer to enter into all this exchange of fine
detail, for the sale of few jazz records, especially when you, yourself,
haven't the first notion on the jazz genre?

Maybe, half expect such and exchange of email, if your request was for
rare collectible vinyl recordings, but from your original post you
appear to be seeking out SACDs and/or "the more unusual or 'audiophile'
items" how many different (geeky) versions of those exist??

A simple search at **AllMusic should reveal most artist's full
discography (main albums, compilations, singles/eps, DVD and other)
along with release dates, track lists, label releases, catalogue number
and all versions and format releases. AllMusic will also provide an
overview of the artist, reviews on most releases, album credits,
composers, and other recordings in which the track appears. Plus vast
amounts of information even for the most anal amongst us.

Mutual. :-)

But don't worry about that. I gave up long-haul many years ago. Never did
do Glasgow - Sidney. But I did London - Hawai'i quite a lot. Tended to
prefer a stopover TBH.

And cheer yourself up by realising that no-one is forcing you to even read
what I post. ;-

Slainte,

There seems to be something about people who hide behind a non de plume.
Probably their low self esteem. In that, they're spot on. ;-)

Sorry, I should have used words less taxing for the likes of you. But at
least when looking it up you found a typo. That must have made your day.

Thanks for confirming that I'm right - as usual.

But you don't have to respond to my every post. Just acknowledging who are

Oh I see Mr. Plowman has now entered the thread with his usual helpful
and humble input. I'm sure Mr. Le Surf will be pleased with Plowman's
positive and informative input to the subject at hand. All resolved now.


Here Plowman give this a spin.
