Thanks for the heads up on this one, Richard! Went along today and came out with which I've known for fifty years, but never owned! Just under 300 used jazz CDs there in very good condition, most for £5, with an emphasis on Blue Note. Mind you, these places always play it very carefully as to what they'll accept - I just couldn't get anyone to take an Eddie Condon album off me and it was classic stuff (I'd replaced it with a more comprehensive CD). A few heartbreaks in there; e.g. spotting Paul Gonsalves Gettin' Together for a fiver, which I'd bought via Amazon a couple of months ago for a total of £9.79!

No, I didn't know them, Richard. I must get along there when I've some cash. Even then, I won't be in the running for a Sahib Shihab LP at £300 (on their website)

Time I re-read Sassoon! I have a hardback copy of the Faber Complete Memoirs of George Sherston, which I bought in 1968. My main source of his poetry was Men Who March Away: Poems of the First World War, but I see that there are current editions of Sassoon's poems. Time to re-read Goodbye to All That, too. My Penguin Modern Classics copy is dated 1966!
