I started with two at once! In June 2000, I got the Horace Parlan and Blue Mitchell boxes all in one box. MG

I always presumed that Definitive, Gambit, Free Factory etc were all pretty much the same guys and so i'm guessing Poll Winners fall under the same umbrella. I could be wrong. I feel like they keep coming out with new labels to make them harder to pin down maybe? Doesn't prove anything but they definitely have similar ways of doing things (crediting photos to 'x' etc). I've seen drillions of old LP sleeves crediting photos to 'X'. I don't think that's conclusive. MG

Yes. Oh, all right... No. Sometimes. When I want to be. When I don't want to be, stuff turns my head anyway. While all those answers are correct, when I want them to be, I guess since the sixties I've always found music to be interesting rather than generally exciting. It's more interesting to me to explore someone's work, to find interest in the good bits and the trashy bits, than to get excited about the good bits and ignore the trash. So being excited by music is not my normal expectation. Mind you, when I DO get excited by music, I don't try to keep calm MG

Download, and the addresses of your focus group please I hope you didn't ID the tracks for them. MG

Friendly Chap (Buddy Guy alias) Curtis Amy Ami Koita

I posted a few non-jazz things on the jazz thread, so I'll list them here In 1959 The Drifters - There goes my baby - Atlantic (London) Ray Charles - What'd I say - Atlantic in 1991 Youssou N'dour - Immigres - Saprom Sidiki Diabate, Batourou Sekou Kouyate & co - Cordes anciennes - Barenreiter Musicaphon To supplement those, some that were almost as important in different ways: In 1956 Fats Domino - I'm in love again - Imperial The first Rock & Roll I ever heard. I've always thought it was significant that I heard Fats before Elvis. I bought most of his late fifties and early sixties singles (and several LPs) and now have the 5 CD set of his complete Imperial singles. 1961 Phil Upchurch - You can't sit down pts 1 & 2 - Boyd Ray Charles - One mint julep - Impulse These 2 singles were my introduction to the jazz organ. Nuff sed. 1964 Alvin Robinson - Something you got - Tiger James Brown - Out of sight - Smash As important as the Drifters and Ray Charles singles had been to me in '59 - signals of something new in the air. 1967 Ambrose Campbell - Highlife today - Lansdowne Columbia UK First album of African music I bought. I liked it a lot but after several months, I could tell I wasn't really getting it. So I ditched it. But it started me reading West African history and that enabled me, when the time came, to get other things. 1968 Debussy/Boulez/Pierre Louys; Chansons de Bilitis - Vera Zorina (who was Goddard Lieberson's missus) - Columbia My introduction to French chamber music. I went to the UK first performance of this work, with the recitation by Ms Zorina, accompanied by half a dozen beauties from Sussex University who danced around in what greatly resembled baby doll nighties. I've never sold this LP, which I'd bought a few days before in the WHSmith sale. (The B side is 'Herodiade' by Hindemith/Mallarme.) 1975 Fela Kuti - Gentleman - EMI Nigeria I walked into Spillers one day and side 1 of this was playing in the shop. When it got onto side 2, the lady at whose behest it was being played didn't want it (!!!!) so I said, 'I'll have it!!!" MG

I think it's Leon Thomas, too. Always did. Isn't he credited? MG

Paracetamol? Don't think that existed in 1972. Aspirin, perhaps. I'm sure it did. I can remember a joke at school, which I left in 1960 - why no painkillers in the jungle? Because the parrots eat 'em all. MG

Spent most of the morning listening to this Johnny Dodds - Clarinet wobble - Quadromania MG

Happy Cauldwell Bob Dole Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands

I flogged a load of stuff, when I needed the cash, through being on the dole or whatever, in the sixties. A lot of it I didn't regret. A lot of it I did regret, but I've got new copies of most of it. I think there are probably a dozen or so albums I haven't yet replaced that I regret, but not seriously, like Louis Armstrong - W C Handy Little Richard - RCA sessions with Fred Jackson Spoon/De Paris - New Orleans blues Hank Jacobs - So far away Johnny Taylor - Wanted, one soul singer Spirit of Memphis - If I should miss heaven Lloyd Price - This is my band (actually, I REALLY regret that, but I've never seen it since) Pharoah Sanders & Latin Jazz Quintet - Oh Pharoah speak Jr Parker - Blues man Hm, fewer than ten? MG

Well, I detected 3 real sarnies - Colorado, Oregon & S Carolina - & 4 toasties - Mississippi, Minneapolis, S Dakota & Wyoming. Most of the rest were baps, cobs, baguettes or rolls (or a pasty ) The S Carolina BLT seemed OK, if there wasn't anything else to eat. American slow food is some of the best stuff I've ever eaten, but that lot.... groo! MG

I'm still on 10. I tend not to update programs until something goes phut. Best solution is to restore to your last restore point. MG

What a WONDROUSLY interesting record label that is! So much to take in! Made in Luton - probably before there was an airport! And a penny MCPS copyright stamp - I've one or two, I think. Wow. But - THE MARGATE MUNICIPAL ORCHESTRA!!! MG

I knew about the 'charm school' but never knew anything more about it. Very interesting. Looks like she had a good life. RIP. MG
