Folks, it's all new news to me that Fantasy was sold.
(What goes around, comes around.) They had picked up so many great jazz labels through the years. Much of that they did get out on CDs. The Riverside Records folk and jazz stuff including Bob Gibson's early tracks, where he mostly played banjo and sang roots and trad songs---one CD of Bob was made of that material---mostly from the LP named "BOB GIBSON--OFFBEAT FOLKSONGS." -- Chet Baker had several CDs on Fantasy in recent times. Monk too. MANY OTHERS!----- So the new owners have thousands of titles---all sorts of music.

Truth is, I generally gave up thinking those LPs might survive in this era. I had just thought up the hopefully HUMOROUS concept that LPs could/might "Go rust". I thought it would be funny to start a thread about that--so I did! And then, when I started expanding the post, I got carried away and again fell back to my carping about Fantasy having my 2 albums. So be it. That's life. These days I'm beyond dealing with it all.-----Thanks again!
