well, there is a second LP entitled Zoot at Ronnie Scott's on Fontana, released earlier in the 60s. So you could conceivably happen upon a copy of that and avoid the grey market CD...

Belîeve the vinyl features only the edited version (due to running time restrictons) though ....

I have a copy of the Fontana 'Zoot at Ronnie Scotts'. Nice album. I think Zoot was one of the very first American visitors to play Scott's'Old Place' on Gerrard St and by all accounts it went down a storm. 

Zoot was THE first at Ronnie's. Unfortunately I didn't get to see him. The earliest of the visitors whom I saw was Lucky Thompson, when Ronnie brought him to Leeds, where I was living at the time. That was the era of excitement about American visitors, prompting Ronnie's promise to bring to the Leeds club a quintet consisting of Stan Getz and Stuff Smith. The excited audience were then told it would be the Getz Stuff quintet. But I know you've heard that one before!

Frank Foster's Living Color, Twelve Shades of Black - For All Intents and Purposes (Leo)

Just got this, seems like a rarity, a group separate from the Loud Minority all members of the better known agglomeration but half the size. Foster mentions in the liners that tunes and arrangements are different from the mothership.

Made a stupid cheap offer on discogs which to my surprise got accepted.

I'm jealous, Dan. I've eyed that LP many times online, but never found it at the right price. Sounds like you caught a plum. :tup
