Even at the time of its release, it was withdrawn since Jimmy was apparently still under contract to someone else. Sad, too because it is a great lp. Truly one of my luckiest finds of the past year. Our local 'overprice it if it's vinyl' store got a copy and put it out for a mere $8!! This is the same clueless guy who put the import reissue of Stack O Tracks at $125, saying it was even RARER than the original since it was an import. He'd also put out a pirate copy of the Beatles' Xmas LP at $200. I tried to tell him it was a bootleg, but he wouldn't believe me. Some poor soul bought it, too, as a birthday present for her boyfriend believing it to be original.

Unquestionably one of the masterworks of the Hi-Fi / Stereo era is Esquivel's "Latin-esque". One of THE essential stereo effects records and part of RCA's wacky "Stereo Action" series ("the sound the eyes can follow") Though I've seen mono copies of this one, it's hard to understand how anybody could settle for anything LESS than stereo!! This is the famous recording made by 2 orchestras in 2 separate studios with Esquivel conduction both simultaneously via TV camera!!! It was slated to be reissued by Bar None as part of their exhaustive effort to reissue the big E's complete recordings, but when the record company went bankrupt, the reissue was scrapped. I'm currently listening to "Estrellita" in his memory. What a record!!! HEY, BMG!! WAKE UP AND RUSH THIS ONE OUT PRONTO!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2002 22:18:05 -0500 From: "Crawdaddy Simon" Subject: Re: Top 10 2001 Mykel wrote: > a couple minor disappointments > > > 4.

In a nutshell, The Tune Inn is a victim of an attempt at gentrification New Haven style. There's been tons of dance clubs that have come and gone, yet that is what New Haven nightlife has become.
