I've got a few of those Blue Thumbs - "Scratch" is my favourite. "Images" is about as zero an album as you could hope never to find, in my view. I like some of their later stuff, too. "Rhapsody & blues" and "Street life" are great favourites. So too is Randy Crawford's "Now we may begin" which was produced and accompanied by the band (plus a few others), and all but one of the songs written by Joe Sample. MG

Cor! MG

(I know it's supposed to be a Bebop album.) MG

I bought this in the late '60s but it seemed a bit too much like a Bebop album, so I didn't keep it long. MG

If you think the BN stuff kix ass, wait 'til you hear the Argos! Pow! Zapppp! Screeeeeeaaaaammmm! MG

Yeah, I love these Dex LPs (but still not got them on CD). And, since you so charmingly insist, I'll get them out this week and treat myself to another listen. MG

It's fine now. It went all yellow when I put the new black cartridge in! It says in the manual that it won't print correctly when there's no ink in one of the cartridges. But I had to clean the nozzles three times, before it worked right! I guess not using the colour cartridge much means that it tends to get dust in it. MG

Thanks Couw - I'll try that. MG

I've just tried printing some photos my wife and I took of our garden. But they've all come out a severely bluish tinge. I've got an Epson Stylus C48. Haven't tried printing colour photos on this printer before. I'm using photo paper, the right way round. And of course, it's telling me that my colour ink thing is full. It's also telling me that my black ink thing is empty, but I don't suppose that matters, does it? Anyone know about this stuff? Any suggestions? MG

I'm with Kyo on this. In any event, I prefer the original LPs to be reissued in the original LP running order. Even if, as sometimes happened, and more frequently with Prestige, they mucked things up. But I have a much more "audience-centered" approach to music than many people and, consequently, prefer the way the artist (to the extent that they're involved) and record company chose to present the recordings to the public. MG

Gawd blesher Guv! Now, about these two Jack Wilson Vaults that have been reissued on CD - is one of them "Jazz organs"? Could you let me know the details, if it is, 'cos this is a good bit higher up my list than "Brazilian Mancini", even though I've got the LP. MG

I guess it is no consolation that the booklet for the Ike Quebec DOESN'T have part of the Kenny Dorham notes included. MG
