If this has been suggested already, please ignore:
How about putting the mailing list's FAQ in the liner notes? A list of our
favorite artists? Whoever won our little poll earlier this year? Names of
labels we all love? Favorite quotes from choice e-mails to the list?
A dedication to fingers???
It seems to me doing any of this by committee will be time consuming and
potentially divisive. How about one person we all know and trust takes on
the job, outlines his/her plan, solicits info/suggestions from all of us,
throws something together, which we all have a look and two-cents input
on, pending a final "draft?" It seems to me we're all pretty cool with
whatever comes out -- as long as it's a fair representative of the list's
spirit, something I don't doubt will be the case.

I agree with others the acid-jazz@ucsd.edu should be part of the title.
Seems most appropriate, especially if this will ultimately be a limited
pressing for us and a few others (certainly the media will get a kick out
of this effort, if we decide to let them know).

I put in a strong vote for a picture of all bands putting tracks on the
list. How about a photo of all of you, together, a la A Great Day in
Harlem, in black and white on the cover? That photo will be worth mighty
bucks and sentimental value some day. I'd like a copy for my wall as well.

p.s.-just picked up Medeski, Martin andWood's Friday Afternoon in the
Universe. Highly recommended.
