Just arrived from Westbrookjazz - Mike Westbrook Orchestra Catania, 1992 2CDs. Considering that this was put together from a number of sources (DAT, reel to reel etc) it not only sounds great but is a huge tribute to the editing skills of the late Jon Hiseman.

Quite a bit of ‘Citadel/Room 315’ on CD1.

In a word - superb !

Clay Hammond & Z.Z. Hill: Southern Soul Brothers

Great compilation assembling most of their greatest cuts .... for more goodies, Clay Hammond`s "You`ve Got Me Tamed" (Ronn) + "You Don`t Have To Suffer Anymore" (Mercury) and Z.Z. Hill`s brilliant deep soul opus "Home Ain`t Home At Suppertime" (Atlantic) are worth a listen .....

Listening to the last four Mercer Records tracks that were missing in my collection, bought them as amazon downloads, who probably sourced them from the Chronologal Classics CDs, they sound very good.
