I was hoping to recruit one as a librarian.

I'll bet it sounds excellent. I have a few of those UK Riversides which were also licensed from Interdisk. Including a couple of Cannonball's, in fact. They are usually quite cheap to buy and invariably deliver the goods, sound wise.

With todays events things are still very unstable there so I'm personally avoiding it. As soon as things stablise, I'm back. Certainly won't be 16 months, more like a few weeks hopefully.

Thanks for your thoughts. Indeed the World has gone mad at this time and the epicentre seems to be London. Haven't visited for weeks and will probably avoid doing so for some time to come. A real shame..

Thanks for that ! I was wondering if it was 'Space Oddity'. Very nice string arrangements on that album. Wonder if he also did the synth work? Yes, the vinyl is on Vortex, that is the label I was thinking of. Throughly recommend that Alan Skidmore 'Once Upon A Time'. It sort of reminds me of the two Kenny Cox Blue Notes in terms of style so if you like these at all you will be impressed I think.

Amen re: 'Inner Glow'. Very nice session. That one really took some getting hold of, didn't realise you'd sold a copy (although I seem to recall a thread from last year which reported one for sale in the UK so that must be it). I think Mosaic might be including it on a Hutcherson Select.

Like that Zawinul a lot. I have the vinyl released by that subsidiary of Atlantic (forget for the moment what it was called but the Jarretts were released on this one too). Still haven't seen a copy of 'Chitinous' in the shops but when I do I'll snap it up. Never realised Buckmaster did the Bowie string arrangements. Which albums in particular? 'Heart is a Lotus' is growing on me slowly. Of the recent batch of Duttons the real standout for me is the Skidmore (at least of those I haven't heard before). Lovely album.

well the auction still has a few days to run - no bids as yet but plenty of interest, I set the price at £60 as a minimum... KD ← That particular vinyl release is pretty rare. Only one issue in Japan I think. Suspect you may get some good bid activity..

Didn't even think of that !

Is that the Dutch Riverside version Brownie? This particular title eludes me for the moment but one day I will have one !

I hear that it was in the same reissue batch as this one..

Yikes - Amazon UK are listing this bodge-up: Obleek Sure to become a collectors item

I hope Herbie doesn't see this.. Why did they get rid of the old King LP cover art by K. Abe?

From what I gather these were more than just detonators but were rucksack and explosive jobs like the previous attack. Somehow the explosive failed to go off. Possibly the work of one bomb-maker. Same thing has happened in the past with the IRA. The good news (such as there is) is that the trail left should allow the police to track down the culprits and extract lots of info. If do they find them and when they have finished extracting from them, maybe they could then load them into the back of an RAF C-130 Hercules and drop them out somewhere over the English Channel in sacks before their swift entry to 'paradise'.

I think Mike Myers was born in Liverpool ( ) but it is true that half of Protestant Canada seems to be descended from either the Scots or the Northern Irish. They didn't call Toronto 'The Belfast of the North' for nothing..

On my recent Stateside trip I came across a mint Liberty of 'Street of Dreams' still with the film over it. Couldn't believe my luck - looks unplayed ! Lovely session, great cover..

Mono originals of this one in reasonable condition sound pretty damn nice !

Stan Tracey -'Jazz Suite Inspired By Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood"' (Columbia Lansdowne mono)

I came across one sunbathing in my front garden last year. Not exactly an every-day sighting in the UK.

RIP indeed. To read that he was 85 makes me feel really old, as he looked like a fairly young wippersnapper when those shows were originally broadcast.

I had the feeling it was a July/Aug release date but I may be wrong. Anyone interested in pre-ordering could probably try emailing Mosaic direct.

`Joe Harriott 'Personal Portrait' (UK Columbia Lansdowne stereo)

Further elaboration - the vinyl sounds particularly good.

Sonny Simmons 'The Multiple Rated X Truth - A Film About Jazz In America and the Struggle of the Musicians' (130mins - Cathode Films). Got my copy at the Downtown Music Gallery in NYC. That's the only place I've ever seen it.
