Even better if you were there...

How about on the same day. Possibly my top two. Do your dreams ever come true?

If ever an album deserved a good reissue, there you have it. One day, hopefully

Early 90s for me and I know exactly what you mean hence the very occasional not-meatballs and spaghetti 🍝 (emoji added only because I had no idea one such exists!). In my carnivore days I used to love cooking clams and linguine, would have loved your Mum's recipe I'm sure Big fan of chickpeas and cashews here too. Broad beans instead of endame only because I love them so much.

Honest Jon's still have the LP and at £65 at the most reasonable price I have seen but my streaming listens have promoted a purchase yet

I'm a longstanding vegetarian who doesn't really deal in meat substitutes (except for the very occasional 'meatball'). I can honestly say I don't miss the taste of meat one iota so don't really bother. Gorgonzola and artichoke for my pizza today, if I were having one. More seriously, it's good that meat substitute exists and is gaining some traction. This poor planet needs s lot less meat eaten that's for sure.

Roy Brooks - Understanding

Listened on Tidal, good stuff

I haven't enjoyed a thread as much as this for ages, in no small part due to Big Beat Steve's entertaining erudition but also due other contributors, notably Niko and TTK, too. Thanks everyone and thanks to Rabshakeh for the idea. Keep it coming!

That's a terrific album. Great band.

I have only ever 'copy image' from Discogs mostly and just paste. I do come across your problem if I ever try paste a photo from my gallery

Equally looking forward to this as I agree with you about his other ECMs

Thumbs up for Doldinger. Rolf Kuhn is someone I've often thought I should investigate further

Very early and in no way definitive. They certainly don't reflect our government's reckless 'freedoom day' rhetoric or reality. The effects of the opening up on community infection rates won't be measurable yet. Look again in a couple of weeks. I want to be hopeful but I don't feel it. I know of enough double vaxed people who have caught it in this new wave. Thankfully so far without deaths but with some serious illness. The country's daily death rate is rising again and hospitals are beginning to feel the pinch once more. I'm continuing to wear a mask and that's as a glasses wearer. The way I see it is that mask wearing only works as a mutual protection so the more people see others without them they won't bother. If everyone continues then a protection level can be achieved as a critical mass wear masks. I'm on a train now doing a journey I have done regularly through the pandemic. Mask wearing, which is still required on public transport, is markedly down from about 90% to 65%. Not good as I see it

Nonetheless, I echo the thanks for your post. Very interesting, thanks for taking the time to post it

EP ordered, downloaded as well. Excellent release JiB really do have the longest lead-in times on th market for their vinyl releases. 6 months!

That's a lovely album. Horace Tapscott! good to hear about the variation, I love the live version. I'd buy that T-shirt

good to hear about the variation, I love the live version. I'd buy that T-shirt

All of them a solid gold winner

'Talkin' About', 'I Want To Hold Your Hand', 'Street Of Dreams' very happy to have all of those included

Bother! (wallet accepts the apology) They differ sufficiently then? edit to add: Honest Jon's to the rescue!

Ha ha! I recently bought it for less than a 10th of that price

Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet - Blue Beginnings [Jazz In Britain] Staying in Europe, prompted by the thread elsewhere Jef Gilson - A Gaveau Live [Sam Records, 2020] wondering if I need the studio version too

Anyone read this? https://www.equinoxpub.com/home/komeda/

Not nearly enough drizzle... OK, so that's £36 this thread has cost me already! Just purchased the Italian and Polish Jazz in film sets
