Great thought Michel! MG

(Half-inched from the sexiest album covers thread.) MG

Bembeya Jazz National - Belle epoque vols 1 & 2 - Syllart Now on disc 2 of vol 2 MG

Thanks Gold, I placed the order from one seller of the Market Place. Some good fun : Amazon.fr was selling the item for a price of...799 Euro I couldn't believe that price, either. I hope you get the right album, Michel. MG

Grant Green did, too. But it wasn't issued until a few years ago. MG

Well, I'm glad it's no one I've ever knowingly heard. I was quite right on that one MG

Yeah, here's an opportunity for you and your mates to get in on the act... A 4cd reverse racism tribute to Syl Johnson... 'Somethings been holding us back, Is it because we're not Black' Nasty. MG

What's with Shani Wallace, Brownie? Every time you post one of her sleeves, I can hear Frankie Howerd introducing her Missss Shayneeee Walllllliiiissssssssss! MG

Never noticed that one! MG

Jeez, dude, just how old ARE you now, anyway? Look; I'm trying to get around to the Sexiest album covers thread and you keep interrupting me MG

This evenin' it ain't. I use alt+<left> to go back a page on the forum. But tonight I keep hitting Ctrl + <left> and, of course, it dumps me back into Google! Oh, and woe betide you if you hit Ctrl+Alt<left> MG

It#s bloody awful when this sort of thing happens, but I go along with everything the others have said - and more. My younger grandson cut up some Mosaic plastic inners years ago, when I used to have the CDs on the shelf with all the other CDs. When, a couple of years ago, in an effort to save shelf space for CDs, I decided to put the CDs back in their boxes, there were five or six of those plastic things that I didn't have. SO I told Mosaic the sad story and they very kindly sent me replacements in my next order. That is WELL above the call of duty. MG

So I discovered when I looked at your link MG

I didn't move you - just flipped Hardbopjazz and mikeweil. I put you in the April slot almost a year ago. Of course, I may have misnumbered and corrected the list at some point - I tend to mess up the numbers periodically. Ah, that must be it MG

A bit more on the Ray Charles Paris stuff Genius + Soul - Jazz live was recorded on 22 October 1961 at the Paris Olympia. Let the good times roll Georgia on my mind I believe to my soul Come rain or come shine (which is a complete and total genius piece with Don Wilkerson's greatest solo ever!) Hallelujah I love her so Alexander's ragtime band Outskirts of town Hit the road, Jack Margie I wonder What'd I say The previous day (the sleeve says 21/22 Oct) he was also recorded at the Olympia, this time on piano, released as 'Rock + soul = genius' JMY 1009 Trax Doodlin' The story (that's the James Moody tune that Hank Crawford included in his first LP) Lil' darlin' One mint julep (above 4 all instrumental) Let the good times roll Georgia on my mind Ruby (not Ruby my dear as sleeve says ) My Bonnie The right time Sticks and stones Hallelujah What'd I say The first 3 tracks are EXTREMELY interesting but marred by what sounds like a dirty source tape. Hog Cooper plays some of the most INCREDIBLY soupy baritone sax I've ever heard on 'Lil darling' - it's hilarious. Personnel on both discs Ray (voc, org or p), Phil Guilbeau, Wallace Davenport, Marcus Belgrave, John Hunt (tp), James Lee Herbert, Edwards Lee Comegys, Henderson Chambers, Keg Johnson (tb), Rudy Powell, Hank Crawford (cl, as), David Newman (fl, ts), DOn Wilkerson (ts, cl), Leroy Cooper (bars), Elbert Sonny Forriest (g), Edgar Willis (b), Bruno Carr (d), The Raelettes - Gwen Berry, Darlene McRae (Darlene Love?), Priscilla Lyles, Margie Hendricks. Ray never had a greater big band than this. These are (despite what Bob Porter said in the sleeve notes to the Pablo album 'Ray Charles in Berlin') the first live albums with Ray's new big band and, for a Ray Charles fanatic, they're essential, despite the poor sound at the start of the piano session. Worth what they're worth to you. MG You type quicker than me, Jim MG

I THINK this may be it, but there's no cover image or track list. http://www.amazon.fr...57756405&sr=1-1 It's also on sale at Amazon UK - also no image or trax, Here's a pic of the sleeve MG

If Marvin is in, 'Captain Nasty'! Phew! MG

I must remember I'm not 108 any more MG
