| The Green Catalogue has nearly a full page of listings of spoken word
recordings. I don't have it with me, but it had poetry readings, plays,
and some other comedy.
I'm waiting for the re-re-release of some of the old 78s on cd,
stuff like Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall.

| 576.2 | But wait, there's more... | HOMBRE::CONLIFFE | Store in a horizontal position | Wed Dec 24 1986 18:06 | 9 |
| Not sure if this belongs here or in the "extra-long" CD note, but there is now
a CD that you can get with 75 minutes of TV themes called "Golden Moments of
TV" (much like the old K-tel compendia) or some such title.
Makes me wonder how long it will be before Rhino Brothers put out a
"World's Worst Records" CD!!!

re; .2
They're called Televison's Greatest themes, and there's two of them,
volumes 1 and 2.
If they were all orignal arrangements, I might consider it. However,
they butchered the Batman theme.

| Re .1 --
I misspoke. The catalogue has just a few ``spoken word'' entries. On
the same page, though, they have listed some sound track recordings
narrated by men with rumbling voices. They happened to be at the top
and at the bottom, giving the illusion of a full page.

| 576.5 | What's the max. capacity of a CD? | MERLYN::BILLMERS | Meyer Billmers, AI Applications | Mon Dec 29 1986 15:46 | 1 |
| 75 minutes? I thought the theoretical upper limit on CDs was around 73?

| A friend of mine recently came to the conclusion that CD's were
here to stay. His reasons? (1) Some recent ads of the ubiquitous
late-night-television variety offering their gems on CD, as well
as LP and cassette; and (2) the appearance of CD's from K-Tel.
re:.1
Well, there *is* a double-CD of Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall,
but it's a relatively recent appearance there, not one that issued
on 78 rpm.
There's at least one CD of Glenn Miller that claims that the
recording was made before the advent of magnetic tape.

| 576.7 | Most ridiculous feature needed in a player | SERPNT::SONTAKKE | Nuke the hypocrites | Tue Jan 13 1987 18:58 | 10 |
| You know what I miss from the CD players? The memory option! When I
turn off the cassette player in the car, the next time I turn it on, it
just starts from where it stopped the last time. It would sure be
helpful on those short trips!
Seriously, given the ubiquitous programmability of the players, it
should be trivial to save the last-stop-point. But NVR's are probably
expensive!

| At least one of the Sony Car Units I've seen does remember where
it left off. You turn the key off, disc spins down, come back, turn
the engine on, right back where you left off.

| 576.9 | Sony and Alpine do it | VINO::GSCOTT | | Wed Jan 14 1987 14:56 | 7 |
| re .7/.8: The Sony and Alpine units have this feature. Actually it
works like this: you turn the key off, it spins down the CD; if you
turn the key on in some short period of time it continues; if you leave
it off for more than about 20 seconds then turn the key on it comes up
in "pause" mode (you hit PLAY and it continues).

| I too would like to get Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall---and some
James P. Johnson played by James P. Johnson, etc.
For those younger than I, who don't remember---the original release
of Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall was on 33 LP in 1951---I still have
it in that release, though in terrible shape. The recordings were
taken on vinyl on relatively high quality equipment for 1938, and
were never released on shellac 78's. Broadcast industry used 33
rpm, often "inside out", with about 10kc (khz for you kids) freq
response starting in the mid-30's, and the industry could have come
out with vinyl disks along with TV (1939)---if WWII had not intervened.
Note the quality of the original Stokowski Fantasia---which is a
1939 technology.

If anyone wants to buy the 'encore' Bennie Goodman at Carnegie hall
(198?) ask them to let you listen to it before you leave the store.
This is a double CD release from Polydor manufactured in Germany.
My mother bought a copy (got her a CD player for XMAS) and the first
disc, while labeled correctly, was actually a disc of some unidentified
German folk music. The second CD in the set was correct as labeled.
Luckily she had saved the receipt and the store exchanged it for her.
Unfortunatly, they did not have another copy of the Bennie Goodman.

That probably isn't very common. My copy was perfectly
normal.
