Mikey Interviewed on Jazz Station WBGO-FM For The New York Audio Show (and the subject turned to CDs)
"WBGO Journal" host Doug Doyle (shown in the photo trying to grab a Mosaic box from my warm sweaty hands) interviewed me recently for his radio show on the great jazz, Newark, NJ radio station.

"John Coltrane: The Complete Sun Ship Sessions" on 3 180 Gram LPs Coming From Mosaic
Mosaic Records will issue on May 21st a 3 LP set of The Complete Sun Ship Sessions including newly discovered and previously unissued alternative takes from one of the John Coltrane Quartet's final studio sessions.

Friday Music's "Rascal's Greatest Hits" Reissue: You'd Better Run!
Greatest Hits albums from the '60s are a crap shoot: how many were made from original tapes strung together to produce reels for lacquer cutting? A few but not most. Instead the originals (hopefully) were pulled and tape copies of the hits were made and those were strung together for the hits package.

Kinks and Klem Kadiddlehopper?
The Dorsey Brothers, Tommy and Jimmy saw the rock'n'roll handwriting on the wall back in 1956. The big banders invited Elvis Presley onto their television show. It was Elvis's first TV appearance and it created a sensation.

Bryan Ferry's "The Jazz Age" Takes Familiar Repertoire To An Old Place
Long time Bryan Ferry fans would not be surprised to read that his interest in music from a bygone era preceded his own rock-stardom. After all, the first Roxy Music album's sound, and especially its visual esthetic incorporated retro '50s elements while simultaneously projecting the music into the future beyond the "hippie in the dirt" scene in which it was then mired.

Analog Corner #34
(Originally published in Stereophile, May 12th, 1998) I've got this friend Shirley. Married with two kids, she appears to be your typical suburban middle-aged housewife--but somehow her music genes got short-circuited. While most of her neighbors have become Yanni-fied (if they pay attention to music at all), Shirley is a Rolling Stones fanatic.

Fire at Pallas Pressing Plant Destroys CD/DVD Duplication Facility
This is no April Fool's Day trick: a fire last night destroyed the Pallas Pressing Plant's CD/DVD duplication facility. Fortunately there were no injuries.

Phil Ramone, One of the Record Producing and Engineering Greats, Dead at 79
Legendary record producer and engineer Phil Ramone passed away today at age 79. He was hospitalized last February after suffering an aortic aneurysm. Ramone worked with many greats from Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra to Billy Joel and Bob Dylan. His recording of Dylan's Blood on the Tracks was among Bob's finest sounding albums.
