Thanks for the warning. I may have purchased this but not if their downloads are presented as you say. Such a shame.

Couldn't agree more, I'd love to be able to get a CD posted from US to UK for $7.50!

I think we all realise that but it doesn't mean we're happy about it Korea or Leeds? The choices are now endlessly intriguing Who needs Belgian beer any more!

Party political? No. Political, very likely.

And there is, of course, that other generalisation that it was all the over 70s who voted to leave. But we know that generalisation isn't true either

I'm not wholly convinced by that despite it being my natural reaction. I'm willing to allow that there are non-stupid people who for reasons other than xenophobia fell for the lies. I do this because they include close family who I know are in neither of your categories.

One 'Thread of despair', yippee!

Or perhaps 3) easily misled by lying bast#@ds, if I'm feeling generous There's no reason why Merkel should have helped him pander to the swivel-eyes. It was his political weakness not hers. Think I should refrain now before the Mods descend...

Soul Jazz and Universal Sound are the same organisation so the two may well sound the same

Lovely tribute from Evan Parker https://londonjazznews.com/2021/01/20/a-tribute-to-john-russell-1954-2021-by-evan-parker/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/21/britons-buying-from-eu-websites-face-more-than-100-import-duties More here. Hope no-one's waiting for their onesie delivery....

From what I understand, Discogs has recently introduced a compulsory and automatic shipping rate system. This appears to have created difficult issues fro sellers in that shipping rates listed may not reflect the actual shipping cost - some sellers are highlighting this in their terms. Probably worth contacting the seller

Shouldn't the thread title be changed to Sun Ra Arkestra's 'Swirling'? Allen may be the leader but it's certainly not credited to him anywhere else I've seen.

Very sad to hear that John Russell, improvising guitarist and Mopomoso concert series promoter has died. He leaves a huge hole in the London scene. Not sure whether his international profile was very high.

The seller I pre-ordered from told me it had been delayed at the pressing plant, it was due before Xmas. His best guess was "sometime in the new year" I'm adopting the "it'll be a lovely surprise if and when it arrives" approach...

I've ordered mine, waiting on delivery

Fantastic!

Great minds think alike...!

A very enjoyable show, thank you. I didn't know the DeJohnette or Mabern so shall be following up on them. Sill no Deano...

Looks an interesting listen notwithstanding the fact that initially I read the thread title as "Dean Martin...". It certainly grabbed my attention 😀

Now onto 'Slightly Latin'. Remaster seems less of an improvement on this one. I really like this album although I get the impression that it's not generally well-regarded. Previously 'Rip, Rig and Panic', a stone-cold classic sounding as good as I've ever heard it Tapscott's in that list of great regrets never to have seen him live. I'm not aware of any UK gigs since 'bout 1990 ,which is when I probably became fully aware of him, are you? Girding myself for the reply that I missed a week's residency in 1987...

I can confidently predict it will fill up, quicker than you plan too One word...Wow!

That is a beautiful album. I honestly think that you can't go wrong with Tapscott, I've never heard a poor album by him yet, or even an average one There's a new 3LP issue due on Nimbus West which will be a 'must buy' https://www.discogs.com/Horace-Tapscott-Pan-Afrikan-Peoples-Arkestra-Live-At-Century-City-Playhouse-9979/release/16330602 Promo here Good to see you still have a nice bit of spare storage in that nice looking unit. Mine are jammed...
