Re: 4 track recorder

I don't see any ethical problem with making a mix tape, if that's what you mean, but 4-track cassettes don't come off well when played back on stereo cassette players, since two of the tracks play backwards.

sometimes i'm amazed at what actually sells in decent quantas. like here in little Norway, in Oslo alone (our capital) the Thrones (an ex-melvins one man band) have sold 20 copys. that's pretty good for a band playing weird sloooow n' heavy guitar-drones. is the black box still in print over at Tzadik.com? >===== Original Message From "Remco Takken" <r.takken(a)planet.nl> ===== >> I'm not not one of these people who believes that if millions of people >> were exposed to John Zorn then millions of people would like John Zorn. >You >> could advertise it all you want, but TORTURE GARDEN is not meant for >> everybody. >But there IS a market for it, be it not as huge as the big labels wuld want >them to be.

ESP Re-issues
by David John Howarth 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Hi Folks In response to the comments re the current ESP re-issues coming out of Italy; what if any light is thrown on the matter of legality when The Wire Bible, sorry magazine, gave out a sampler to subscribers with their July issue? For that matter wither the morals of The Wire editorial team? Is it just a case of "It's legal in Italy so that's alright?" Do we know that living performers or families of deceased have been contacted? As someone (sorry!) said in the thread, its behaviour you expect from the major's, but it grinds our nads when a "worthy" indie pulls the trick! All a matter of perception I guess.

Re: ESP [(no Zorn content)]

Ken: This all happened when I was working at Koch International, which distributes Smithsonian Folkways. It was my understanding, from the guy who was running Folkways at the time, that a deal had indeed been tendered to Stollman. The fact that the Folkways guy was carrying around a ring binder containing all of the ESP CD reissues done by XYZ Germany led me to believe that things were happening. So in a sense, it's hearsay, but it's certainly *enlightened* hearsay. Steve Smith ssmith36(a)sprynet.com NP - Art Ensemble of Chicago, "Reese and the Smooth Ones, Part 1," 'Reese and the Smooth Ones' (ESP/Sunspots) - caveat emptor: major vinyl swish during the first 60-90 second of this new CD reissue and minor clicks and pops throughout...vital music, nonetheless.

I heard about it at the time, but stories about deals are always floating around and some never come to fruition. If Stollman got a dollar offer and turned it down -- and he's often maintained that his ex-wife got the ESP rights as part of the divorce settlement -- then that's too bad. But if it was just someone from the Smithsonian Institute suggesting that they do a deal, or a floating rumor that maybe it should be done ... Anyways if that happened and he found out about it, John Ashcroft may have launched an investigation into why an institution so close to his office was paying money for this subversive stuff. regards, Ken Waxman --- Steve Smith <ssmith36(a)sprynet.com> wrote: > Not that it would have helped Remco, but just > imagine how different things > might be now if Stollman had accepted the offer for > the entire ESP catalog > offered to him by the Smithsonian Institute on > behalf of the Folkways label, > just prior to his making the deal with Calibre. ===== Ken Waxman mingusaum(a)yahoo.ca www.jazzword.com - Jazz/improv news, CD reviews and photos ______________________________________________________________________ Post your ad for free now! http://personals.yahoo.ca _______________________________________________ zorn-list mailing list zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com To UNSUBSCRIBE or Change Your Subscription Options, go to the webpage below http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zorn-list

4 track recorder
by Kasra George Ahmadi 30 Jul '02

Okay so I'm gonna ask this just cause I want the answer right now. Is it posh (or might I even say ethical) to make a mix tape on a 4 track recorder. I don't see the problem. Does any body else?

"VIA, which recently acquired the rights to distribute BMG's jazz catalog in the Benelux, will transfer saxophonist Yuri Honig and Dutch pianist Michiel Borstlap from its own roster to ESP." - this is the label equivalent to the current lineup of The Coasters touring the state fair circuit.
