Air Earth, Wind &Fire...

Currently have about 2000 LPs. I started buying at 14 when LPs were the only option and continued through to early 90s when I largely switched to CDs. By the late 80s I probably had about 500 but would have had many more but for selling off large parts of my collection due to unemployment and low income jobs. I switched almost exclusively to CDs through to about 2000 when I caught the LP bug again, initially to find the ECM titles that hadn't been issued on CD. Since then I've bought a lot more LPs than CDs both "hipster display item" new releases and from the second hand market. I am now unabashed collector buying rare and objectively expensive early pressings (not BNs though, not that expensive), because I can and I like them but also cheaper unusual LPs that pique my interest, such as "Contemporary Music For Harp And Flute", especially if recommended by folk whose taste I trust (😀). I enjoy sourcing online and do so mostly but also at a few of the good shops that London is now blessed with. In the last week's I found a rare South African Jazz album I never expected to ever see in the flesh. That makes me very happy, I'm happy to be judged on that...

Georgie Porgie Porgy Queen Elizabeth I

Dickie Bird Paul Reiffel John Holder (one for all you cricket fans...)

Samuel Baron - Flute + [Desto, USA 1972] Another first listen

Alan Stivell Harpo Marx The Pheasant Plucker Oops, beaten to it, apologies. As you were Ronnie Wood Woody Woodmansey Ash Ra Temple

Thank you, I'll see if I can stream it. Yes, those Sadao/Charlie albums are great

That's a special album for me. I listened to it a lot in the summer of 1977 along with Grover Washington and War. It was the very start of a journey away from Metal through Jazz-Funk, Britfunk to this comment today. EWF, essential

India Arie Ryley Walker Run DMC

Evan Parker & Barry Guy - Tai Kyoku [Jazz&Now, Japan 1985] First play for this one

👍that's good to hear especially as the Klatt is a bit of a punt, it was cheap and the short sample sounded fun. The others I'm more confident about

Me too. There's a handful of his albums I really like, the rest less so by quite a bit. I really respect how he's ploughed his own furrow so determinedly

These LPs, Earl Anderza - Outa Sight Eddy Louiss- Orgue Vol. 2 Gunther Klatt & Elephanttrombones - Live At Jazztage Leverkusen And this CD, Silvan Schmid Quintet - At Gamut

Cindy Incidentally Maggie May Georgie (RIP)

Galliano - Halfway Somewhere They're back! It's 1991 all over again 😄

That's a hell of a line up. How's the final one? It's the one I don't know

Horace Parlan Trio - 'No Blues'...

But those Pathés were water in a desert back then, to me at least Another fan of Tone Poets here.

It's great music...austerely beautiful improvisation. The title is quite apt Now onto a very different drummer (but one I bet Eddie Prevost appreciates) Max Roach - We Insist! Freedom Now Suite

😂 Amanda Knox Alan Knott Peter Stringfellow

The Jazz Passengers Jack Nicholson Maria Schneider

Marjolaine Charbin/Eddie Prevost - the cry of a dove announcing rain [Matchless]

Sonny Bono Paul Hewson Pompous Pilate (allegedly...)

Don Cherry Fiona Apple Chuck Berry
