What ECM albums do you MOST want "in print" on CD in your country?

[bluenoter]

"A poll (http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showthread.php?p=692304&postcount=155): why not? . . . I'll forward the results inside the ECM office." —Steve Lake of ECM



Please make up to FIVE choices.

The poll will close at the end of December (on the night before New Year's Eve).

The poll entries were nominated in posts # 1 - 61 of another thread (http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showthread.php?t=21739).


And that's about it--except for the "footnotes" in the next post. Happy voting!
<br>

[bluenoter]

"Footnotes" :)


1. When the poll is over, I'll try to provide Steve Lake of ECM with whatever kind of geographical breakdown he wants.



2. Re:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2253/2083585197_2344292685_o.jpg
Per a suggestion (http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showpost.php?p=695040&postcount=48) in the Poll Nominations thread, the three individual albums don't appear in the poll.


3. Because they're not "worst cases" in terms of being unavailable, the two Old and New Dreams albums on ECM, which I'd nominated, don't appear in the poll.

A Tip on Viewing the Poll Results
After You've Taken the Poll

After you've taken the poll, the right side of your "View Poll Results" screen will look like this:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2081/2087060511_768290d9a0_o.jpg

But if you click on any of the vote totals that's greater than zero--e.g., the 6, the 5, or the 1--the right side of your "View Poll Results" screen will look like this:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2148/2087061135_3c412e8c1e_o.jpg

(That's the same view that people get if they click on "View Poll Results" before they've taken the poll.)


If I keep being all alone in this thread, I may have to resort to posting an interview with myself. :eek: You know, people can use this thread to campaign for their favorite albums, offer bribes to future voters, whatever. :)<br>

Uli, the poll results that I posted are screenshots ("Print Screen" on the keyboard)--images. I cropped them, uploaded them to Flickr.com, and linked them here. PM me if you want more details.

Poll: What ECM albums do you MOST want "in print" on CD in your country?Poll Voters--

If you think that I might not know what "your country" is, please let me know!

You can post it in this thread or send it to me in a PM.

Thanks!
<br>

[Ron Thorne]

I think that more people should be voting for my choices! :D

[Squaredancecalling Steve]

Hey, Ron, I can't believe I'm the only one that voted for Michael Mantler (Terje Rypdal, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Jack DeJohnette) and the poetry of Edward Gorey!? Then again...

[Bill Barton]

Hey, Ron, I can't believe I'm the only one that voted for Michael Mantler (Terje Rypdal, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Jack DeJohnette) and the poetry of Edward Gorey!? Then again...

Limiting myself to five choices was difficult. That one plus all the DeJohnettes and all the Kuhns would be next on my list. And I like Ron's choices too... Sigh. And Paul Bley and Lookout Farm... The list goes on and on.

[Ron Thorne]

Limiting myself to five choices was painful, too, Bill and Steve!

[bluenoter]

Hey, Ron, I can't believe I'm the only one that voted for Michael Mantler (Terje Rypdal, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Jack DeJohnette) and the poetry of Edward Gorey!? Then again...Well, SqDC Steve, The Hapless Child (Michael Mantler) could certainly use more support in the poll, but at least you're not the only one that voted for it anymore.

Guys, thanks for choosing even though it was difficult!

Hi...

it's my first post in this forum... I'm Stanko from Milan (Italy, what else?). The same nick in the AAJ forum...

I must confess I cast 6 votes... Shall I be lapidated?
Moreover... (shame on me) I made another mistake: my vote for Beirach's "Elm" was actually for Kuhn's "Ecstasy"... wrong line! :o

Usually, I'm not such a botcher!

Welcome to everybody... :D

LorenzoHi, Lorenzo--

Welcome to you too. :)

First, thanks for letting me know what "your country" is, as I'd requested in #8 (http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showpost.php?p=701332&postcount=8).

Second, thanks for 'fessing up to overvoting. (I'd noticed.) ;) What happens re overvotes and mistaken votes will be whatever Lois Gilbert (JC's administrator) or Steve Lake (of ECM) decides.

I voted for Everyman because my colleague Bruce Yaw played with them. Would love to hear it!

[Vince Kargatis]

Destination-out has a couple tracks (http://destination-out.com/?p=158) from Bengt Berger's Bitter Funeral Beer up today.

Still plenty of used copies out there on amazon.

[bluenoter]

Thanks to everyone who's voted so far, and thanks to the people who posted "availability tips," etc.

New JC members especially, please see my request in #8 (http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showpost.php?p=701332&postcount=8) re letting me know what "your country" is.

:rolleyes:What? You don't think they look like typical JC women? :) That photo was taken circa 1917 in New York, which was one of the states that allowed women to vote before 1920.

[Steve Lake]

Many thanks to all who have voted so far, and to Bluenoter for organizing the poll so well. It's of interest to me personally, and I believe it will be also to the staff of ECM Distribution...

best - and happy new year...

SteveThank you, Steve, and Happy New Year!

Whenever you're ready, please tell me what kind of geographical breakdown you'd like to get (as specifically as possible, please). I've been keeping a database of the poll voters and their countries, and it's almost complete. (You could PM me if you prefer.)

I'm going to ask Lois whether she has a ruling on overvotes (only three people overvoted) and mistaken votes (only one mistaken choice was reported).

And again, thanks for being open to this project!

[bluenoter]

This JC lady voted and I am from the US.Thank you, JC lady! :)

The number of female voters (AFAIK) wasn't exactly overwhelming, but I was thrilled yesterday when it doubled. http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/images/icons/icon14.gif

I'm pleased to report that Marion Brown's "Afternoon of a Georgia Faun" CD is back in print in Europe and can be ordered from the ECM web site.

Its reappearance has been influenced by the lobbying on this forum.

Awesome work, Rita! You're scarily organized...:eek::cool:Thanks, Bill! Alas, I'm only trying to simulate being organized as best I can. :o

Steve Lake may still wish to get other kinds of geographical breakdowns, but the ones posted above will give readers of this thread the general picture.

I "reserved" #30, in which, when I get a chance, I'll post a few comments on the results shown.

[Ron Thorne]

Nice job, Rita!

I'd much rather listen to music than create a database for it, but I'm glad that you enjoy both aspects.

[bluenoter]

Thanks for that. I actually meant to write "Elm" and not "Eon"! I've transferred my vinyl originals on to CD so it's not desperate but there is a click on one of the tracks that really annoys me.

I'm not sure how the price compares, but you can also get them via amazon.com as well for a seemingly low price:

e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Hubris-Richie-Beirach/dp/B00005A1GU/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1201578880&sr=8-2

blue, are there any updates on this?

I am just listening to afternoon of a georgia faun and thought of this thread.

[CraigL]

Just found this site, so missed the poll - but for me, Julian Priester's Polarization, Barre Phillips Music By.... and Arild Andersen's Shimri on CD would make me happy!
