I like the cardboard CD cases -- the number of times I've dropped, stepped, crushed, or otherwise broken a CD case is staggering (mostly because I have kids and I also let the CD's pile up next to my CD player and sometimes they fall off) is annoying.

But, back to the Jazz Cat, Welcome to the St James Club is up there for me too. I didn't notice the Jazz Cat has a Mrs. Jazz Cat on the Live in LA concert I have. I wonder what her name is -- Myrtle? His name? Festus? Just kidding...it's been a long day.

My favorite Ripps cover is Weekend in Monaco becuase I like the colors, the long car, and the castle on the hill. Peace.

Topaz, especially with the Ripps symbolized by the Kokopelli figures.

I thought the same thing as DWBass when I first read this topic.

So, in that tradition, here is my favorite Ripps "Cover".

Ignore the music that starts automatically, Scroll down to Mystery Song #5 -- and select it.

The tune was covered by a group of distinguished gentlemen who appreciate the Rippingtons. Perhaps you recognize which tune it is, even though the instrumentation is as basic as it gets...

I love 'em all. I have all of the available posters, triple matted and framed in my office at home. How can I post some pictures?

You have to upload the pics to a server like Flicker or Photobucket.

Then click the image icon above your post (4th from the left) and enter the URL (example: http://www.mumble.com/~mumble.jpg)
and submit your post.

It'll look like this:



Tony (our Admin) is working on a way to upload photos to the board for display, but it's been a little quirky and not ready for primetime yet.

Mine has got to be Life in the Tropics, I believe that's when Russ moved to Florida.

And to think that's the reason I've been ignoring this thread!!! LOL my bad!

My vote's on Sahara

For me it would be Let it Ripp -- that Cd first got me started in Rippingtons music, and then I was happy to discover a whole whack of albums just as good or better that had been recorded prior to that one!
