MUMPS has never done it for me. Suspect expectations were too high...time to listen again

Peter Brotzmann Sextet/Quartet - Nipples [Cien Fuegos]

Fred Katz - Folk Songs For Far Out Folk [Warner Bros]

Thanks. I'll be looking out for other dates now. It would seem that Jazz-Lab 2 demands higher prices, especially if in Europe. Can't be for the cover, or maybe it is

John Graas - Jazz-Lab 1 [Brunswick] purchased on a whim without knowing anything about it but some of the names involved. Pleased I did, very enjoyable

Would love to have been there

No, I have it on vinyl (or my friend who I lent it to has, reminder to get it back)

I don't know the answer but I do know that that compilation is a treasure trove

Grrrr

Low - Double Negative sensational

John Coltrane Quartet - Crescent [HMV, stereo] Nice, great album. Wish my copy was better than VG. I have to go to Spotify for a non-crackly listen

Good to hear Pursglove in this trio format

Funny you should mention that. The third or maybe fourth was reviewed in the weekend paper (yes I went analogue) and sounded quite intriguing here's the review, it is the fourth instalment https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/sep/14/labyrinth-spirits-carlos-ruiz-zafon-cemetery-forgotten-books-quartet-final-review I remember the first instalment was hyped so much over here that I ended up ignoring it! I might try it now. Do you read these novels in the Spanish or translation? (Also, as an aside I passed on the Sid Lowe book about Barca/Real to a football mad friend today so your recommendation still bears fruit)

No RVG. Nor on my HMVs of 'Meditations' or 'Ascension'. 'Crescent' due to arrive tomorrow so I'll see whether that bucks the trend

That's the one. I remember being very impressed by the two other musicians in the trio as well one of whom played great bcl. Looks like it was QEH

OK, thanks. I'll add it to the list. I remember reading some Goytisolo at the time as well, my only real memory is that it wasn't an easy read. Can't even remember which title it was

with his trio at the Barbican. Lots of instrument swapping went on?

No, a Discogs seller oop North. Now I'm intrigued by the online outlet...can't think of one out East apart from a Hackney shop that doesn't do online but does inflated prices

I'm enjoying this, thanks Brad. I like the way the vampiric element is intertwined and can be read as metaphor for other horrors happening in the city. Seems well translated too (a few American English-isms aside ). It's many a year since I tracked down novels set in Spain and Barcelona. Eduardo Mendoza Garriga's 'City Of Marvels' is the one set in Barcelona I really remember

Ah, Teddy P...

HMV, mono. Today's arrival. Sounding very nice it is too

Tasty
