Here is a description of the format for this cd: 'Japanese SHM pressing. The SHM-CD [Super High Material CD] format features enhanced audio quality through the use of a special polycarbonate plastic. Using a process developed by JVC & Universal Music Japan discovered through the joint companies' research into LCD display manufacturing SHM-CDs feature improved transparency on the data side of the disc allowing for more accurate reading of CD data by the CD player laser head. SHM-CD format CDs are fully compatible with standard CD players. Universal. 2009.' Can anyone fill me in on this particular type of cd? If anyone owns it, is there a noticeable difference in sound quality from the standard release of 'Flying Cowboys? If no-one does have this SHM-CD, can anyone speculate as to what the quality of it might be? Is it worth $47.98?

And I buy them directly from cdJapan. I just checked their site and they have Flying Cowboys for $26.59. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UICY-91507 Get it from them and save. I'd say go for it. Jerry On Sat, Jul 10, 2010 at 12:58 PM, Mark wrote: > There is a Japanese import of RLJ's 'Flying Cowboys' listed on Amazon for > $47.98.

You should be able to find out more at cbc.ca and listen online if you don't live in Canada or have Sirius satellite, or perhaps there will be a podcast: Mariposa Folk Festival turns 50: This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of the Mariposa Folk Festival, an event that's been described as "a state of mind somewhere between backwoods fiddling and B. B. King." Joan Baez, Phil Ochs, Joni Mitchell, and Oscar Brand among the amazing musicians who have played the festival over the years and through its growing pains. Mariposa has been through name changes, venue changes and even a long hiatus. This Sunday, we'll dig deep into the CBC archives and listen to some tape from CBC's coverage of the early days of Mariposa. Tune in to the second half of our first hour for that! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:48:58 -0700 From: "gene" Subject: Re: great Dudes in History and Crazy heart (now NJC) No problem Dude---after all we got a little country in all of us. peace~ gene - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lieve Reckers" To: "gene" ; "jonilist JMDL" Sent: Saturday, July 10, 2010 1:24 AM Subject: Re: great Dudes in History and Crazy heart (now NJC) > Thanks for sharing, Gene!
