  6. It's not that obscure, but "The Wicker Man" (the original British one) disturbed me as a 15 year old. I watched it the night before I sat my English language O-level. I never saw the end coming and it played on my mind for days afterwards. Another one which vaguely disturbed me was "Watership Down" which I saw at the cinema aged about 10.

  8. Yeah, full price here is around $29 for one CD. BTW I got the Shihab at 18.99 from Dusty. A steal! I'm sure someone can explain this, but ... since CDs are apparently cheaper in the U.S., why not buy them here? If you were able to buy several CDs from one source and have them shipped as a single order (presumably cutting the cost of mail a bit) wouldn't this be more cost-effective? It is paps. I've been buying from the US for about 18 months. Plus, the big US sellers have a much bigger range of titles.
  9. 20 dollars? When I first started buying jazz CDs in the 90s they were 15 British pounds sterling, as standard.

  11. ^ Count de Money - are you referring to the all-weather stalwart Sidewinder?
  12. "Better Git It In Your Soul" would be an ice-breaker.

  14. Hello all, In preparation for a car boot sale, I found a copy of the above-titled book in my attic. It belonged to my dad, who was a musician. It's softback, spiral-bound. I'm pretty sure it could be an original 1959 edition, as my dad had inscribed the inside cover with an address he left in 1960. It's not in great shape, as you'd expect from something nearly 50 years old; it's a bit foxed (I believe that's the technical term) and the binding needs replacing. It also contains a couple of loose charts and what looks like some kind of cribsheet/slide rule. I'm not a musician and it's not brimming with sentimental value (I have other stuff for that), so I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with what to do with it. Thanks for looking Richard
