Finished my run through of all series of The Americans yesterday. Late to the party but it was fun if riddled with ridiculous plot developments. A much better tale to be told from an interesting premise.

Yes, I listened to 'The Balance' earlier today, a fine later album. I also have to thank @Pimfor his championing of 'Echoes From Africa' which I added to the collection recently.

Palle Mikkelborg - Ashoka Suite [Metronome, Denmark 1970] It's taken a while to track this down but I'm very pleased I have. A while ago I started a thread about trombone and vibes front lines, this has four trombones with its vibes!

Michael Palin Tom Paulin Billy Paul

I'm really pleased you enjoyed it

Jayne Cortez Aja Monet Ursula Rucker

Sun Ra Grigori Rasputin Boney M

Hugh Cornwell Jean-Jacques Burnel Jet Black

I agree, such a decline since. I still hold hope he'll have a late career renaissance

Thanks Steve. I'll check out Sawyer's releases

They're probably using yours and other's shipping money to fund the next production run, small one-person (?) endeavour, big project

Looks very interesting to me. I like Mette and Zeena but don't know Ryan Sawyer. Can you ask them to come and play in London please Steve...

I'm pleased I didn't go for this now, having bought four of the series from DG I think that's enough for me. If I'm honest from what I've heard the quality of the recordings and some of the music too isn't up to much further investigation on such a big scale. For those of you who are all in I hope it turns up and you feel differently about the product.

Sound quality seems ok to me, I will likely buy this

Joe Harriott Quintet - Movement

Any new Harriott is good news, hopefully this indicates that the Universal/Decca reissue programme isn't as dead as feared
