It was actually watching the video on the amazon page that made me realize I absolutely had to own Mirrored. Check it out, its gnarly as hell:

I want to get some Ella Fitzgerald.. Any suggestions for an Ella newbie?

I know it's pricy, but, "The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books" is a great set. I always enjoy putting that on. Also her CDs with Louis B Armstrong are great. I'm a fan, but my wife absolutely loves her. I haven't heard a singer IMHO that can skat so naturally and well on the fly like her. Good luck

Thanks for the info Jack. I didn't know about the 2 day shipping.

[postjack]

i used to be part of Amazon Prime, i found out that i really don't buy enough from them in a given year to make it worth while.

Fair enough. I make lots of purchases from amazon.

[jinp6301]

damn thats a lot of shit. I might have to ask you to rip me one of those EC albums

[Salt Peanuts]

Forgot to add

Tori Amos - Under the Pink

the Rhino reissues?

Nope, they're all new Hip-O reissues. I've browsed through SH forum and the general consensus was they used the same masters. Also, I would have had to pay a whole lot more for them if I bought Rhino reissues. As it is, with the exception of Ben Folds stuff, I basically paid for only shipping & handling for the CDs.

John Lennon anthology box collection

John Lennon Rock n Roll

I am Sam soundtrack

[Thelonious Monk]

i recently splurged on a few dozen metal releases that i've had pirated for a long time but hesitated on buying -- because i live in a catholic household:

they can and will perform an exorcism on me.

[DigiPete]

Ella and Louis - remaster

remaster - extra tracks

[Duggeh]

Waterboys Book Of Lightening CD. ?5.

Rare Mike Oldfield Amarok Promo CD, ?26

Mike Oldfield - V, never even heard of this Oldfield release before, couldn't find any info. Thus I had to have it. ?17

[Dusty Chalk]

It's not a Mike Oldfield release, per se -- it's a various artists compilation from Virgin Records, on which Mike Oldfield appears. I ran into the same thing (never heard of it, discovered it, had to have it immediately). IIRC, there's some good stuff on there -- I think Tangerine Dream and Klaus Shulze...nope, found it -- just Tangerine Dream, no Klaus Schulze, but there's some Henry Cow, Hatfield and the North, and other good proggy stuff, if you're into that. I have no idea what that Tom Newman collaboration is.

[Duggeh]

Thanks muchly dude, a little miffed that its not a purebred Oldfieldian effort , but the contents sound like they should certainly please me anyway.
