Spencer, I was thinking of playing part of this recording on the 15th for folks. It is a neat piece with really interesting counterplay among the instruments, and with lots of sly humor.

Rushton, think I'd like to hear the "Age of Gold" sometime. It sure is advertised a bunch lately.

VA - Phil Spector's Christmas Album (Warner re-ish LP, prob. late 70's/early 80's, orig. 1963) The heavyweight classic of all times and still champeen. Like the man says, Back To Mono! Darlene Love, The Ronnettes, The Crystals, Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans, and The Wall Of Sound - and that ain't no lump of coal. HoHoHo!
