What would that be? Direct implants. I can envision the customer complaint department: (After three-hour wait on hold) -- "I, I, I, I ordered the complete Blue Note catalog implant and you implanted the "Complete Dance to the '80s! Set on perpetual shuffle!" ... "Sorry sir, you'll have to contact our technical support division in Nairobi on Monday. Have I answered all your questions today?"

The First Men in the Moon Keith Moon Moondog

Was very impressed by a track from this that I heard on a radio show, but ran up against the insane prices you mention.

Jazz Library from BBC Radio 3: Shelly Manne

I would have agreed with you last year, but my online purchases have become decidedly more expensive following the drastic decline in the value of the pound against the dollar and euro some months ago. (Thankfully, thngs have picked up slightly recently.)

Alan Ladd Bloke('s Blues) Chappie D'Amato

Yes, following my earlier comment that at least 90% of my jazz CD purchasing is now online, I'd add that the non-online element is almost entirely accounted for by one used record store, the inaccurately named Vinyl Exchange in Manchester.

Jazz Record Requests from BBC Radio 3 Now playing: "Victor" from the Alan Ganley Jazz Legacy's album, June Time

Little Weed Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men Robert Plant

Mine too! All of it is bought online though. At least 90% online for me.

I'd say my purchases of jazz CDs are up 80% since 2001. Nice to be swimming against the tide!

Philip Glass Harbottle Grimston Meryl Tankard

I have a 1967 hardback copy of that under the title of Four Lives in the Bebop Business. Time to re-read it!

"Charles McPherson's Post-Bird Bop" on Night Lights from WFIU Some tremendous music here which fills a gap in my jazz history knowledge, as I'd only heard McPherson with Mingus before.
