Thanks for taking the time to write this, Jim.  I'm not so sure there was a
'misunderstanding' as much as a 'lack of understanding.'  As I was
thinking/requesting, all anyone needed/wanted was a bit of background info
about how/why/when these recordings were being offered in the marketplace.
And now we know.  Thanks very much.  In fact, I'd already sent in my order
for all three before I read this, so I had already come to the conclusion
(with some add'l info from a few other boc-l folks privately) that
everything was cool about them and that I'd like to have them.

This is all great news!  As you (and a few other boc-l folks) know, the
Quarkspace indoor thingy turned out really well (musically-speaking).
Perhaps in Cleveland the turnout will be better.  Let me be the first to
encourage all you fine folks to travel *within* the North American
continent, rather than continue flying back and fourth across the ocean,
spreading viruses with your shoes all the while.  :)
