gameenjoyer said:I don't mean to sound cynical at all, so, those of you who are of a higher level of life experience, please do not get mad at me, but I must say this:
Most of Alpert's fans today are those who remember him from the TJB era. Many of those people are of an advanced age, and, as such, their continued existence in the temporal realm for any appreciable length of time is questionable. Thus, the quantity of time that goes by before these albums are re-released is likely inversely related to the sales potential of these albums, since, the longer he waits, the higher the quantity of his fans who are going to cease to exist in the temporal realm. Depressing, yes, but my point is that he should release them sooner rather than later before the sales potential dries up so dramatically as to make the releases virtually pointless.
He must realize this, since he is not exactly of a low level of life experience himself, but perhaps the full ramifications of that fact have not occurred to him. Sorry if this is a depressing thought, but it's my opinion, and I have tried to frame it in the least depressive wording I can.

Harry said:Though our topic starter "abstract-fan" wrote a nice little track-by-track comparison on SUMMERTIME to WARM, I must also point out that our own long-time-member Dave posted a somewhat similar comparison years ago when SUMMERTIME was our Album Of The Week.

The show is hosted by smooth jazz saxophonist Mindi Abair, and she plays the latest sounds on the chill music scene. On the regular, she plays a tune by, I believe a European chill music group that has sampled John's guitar intro to 'Summertime'. Has anybody else heard this tune, and do you know the name of this group? If I hear it again tomorrow night, I'll run right to the computer and post it right away.

Mike said:Now, getting back to the original intent of the thread: in my most unintellectual dreams, Summertime ain't going to be reissued in a digital format, so those who haven't done so already, you best be getting a turntable and pick up a copy of the original vinyl LP. For me, I've already made my needle drop CD-R and I listen to this great album on a regular basis. It is in my opinion well worth the investment.
