Indeed it is ! Some of the prices are pretty ballistic though (e.g. £50 for a Freddie Hubbard Pablo 2LP and £150 for Bill LeSage's 'Directions in Jazz'). Last time I was in there that rack had Bill Oddie's old mono/NY USA copy of a Dexter Gordon Blue Note (I know as it was monogrammed by Mr. O himself on the back) but inspection of this £50 'find' showed that it was pretty well beat up. I was gratified to find that some of the "hens' teeth" had been sitting in my collection since the sixties - and in good condition, too! (Not for sale, incidentally )

It was still there in Foyle's last time I looked.

Watching the Jackie Brown movie took me to this one.

My daughter was on to them before me. She's got herself Art Blakey's Like Someone in Love and insists on buying me Joe Henderson's In 'n Out
