LIVE 8 and this thread  http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=17956  reminded me I have most of the Floyd's work on original pressing, included a rare mono first pressing of 'Saucerful of Secrets' :excited: , so... 'I will get a Pink Afternoon'   :eye:

At a recent vinyl fair I checked out there was a guy there selling copies of every Floyd LP in every international release (Argentinian first pressing 'Meddle' anyone?). He also had a great stack of boots. If I had had the storage space and $ it would have been worth making a bulk purchase offer. I did however pick up the German Columbia first pressing of 'Piper At The Gates of Dawn'.

Now playing 'Live at the Half Note' - Art Farmer Quartet Featuring Jim Hall (Atlantic mono original)

Land of the Midnight Sun - Al Di Meola Interesting *new* stuff, featuring a moog and some very interesting percussion.

BUT, the bigger story is that I picked up twenty-five albums today, MINT condition for a single dollar for each record.

The titles range all the way from three Jimmy Smiths to Kai Winding, to Getz, Eddie Harris, Ella Fitzgerald, Hank Jones, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Rob McConnell, Jimmy Reed, Moe Kauffman, Dave Brubeck, Jimmy Witherspoon, 1959 Monterey Jazz Festival......

I'm forgetting a couple or so, but ONE DOLLAR EACH. My heart was racing as I sped through the tons of records, just brought into a thrift shop, that sells everything from clothes to furniture, to whatever.

This is where I have found five of my JazzTones.

I'm stoked!!

wow !! now I'm GREEN :g

I still haven't come down. Usually I find one or two jazz titles in OK, but not pristine condition.

These are in new condition and as I flipped through them on the shelf there was another one after another one, after another one. WOW.

This source is a charity shop and their standard price for LPs is a dollar each.

It doesn't matter what the record is.

Everything from really crappy tripe to somebody's entire Jazz collection.

I have been going there for a couple of years and have also picked up my shelves there for cheap.

Don't ignore these places.

Although they have everybody's cast-off stuff, among those cast-offs are records. With talk of records making a comeback there is a little more traffic around them, but I show up early in the morning and it quite often pays off.

I have asked the manager to keep a lookout for JazzTones and she, sensing these are collectables, agreed to set any aside for me if I am willing to pay THREE DOLLARS per disc. I said OK. :D

Kenny Dorham/JR Monterose 'The Jazz Prophets' (UK HMV 10")

Terry Smith 'Fall Out' (UK Philips stereo). Incredible and rare session by the UK guitarist from 1969, produced by Scott Walker and with fantastic backing by the Harry South Big Band. Arrangements by Jimmy Deuchar and Harry South. :tup

Julian Cope is an acquired taste... much prefer Ian McCullough with Echo & the Bunnymen than Cope & TTE myself.

Only Cope song I even remember these days is World Shut Your Mouth...

The Teardrop Explodes: Kilimanjaro

The Trombone Sound - Kai Winding - Columbia

Personel:

Winding on trombone

Wayne Andre, Carl Fontana and Dick Lieb also on trombones

Kenny O'Brian on bass

Jack Franklin on drums

Roy Frazee on piano

The cover notes give a running total of how many bars and on which selection each trombone soloist has. Interesting. Each band member has also been given a short bio.

Nice.
