That Ellington set is a good one. Someone needs to pounce !

And no Music Matters 45rpms !

Just in from HJs - along with the two Futura reissues. ‘Live A Gaveau’, also on Sam Records, has also just arrived from Paris, so I thereby proclaim today as ‘Gilson Day’.

Someone got a great deal on the Nat Cole set !

I’ve been using an LP12 with hand-cueing of the arm for many years now and totally manual, no lever. Odd at first but you get used to it pretty quickly.

CD4. Early Paraphernalia and Jubiaba broadcasts in excellent BBC sound.

Barbara Thompson !!

Those prices are bargains - at least they look that way from here in the UK.

One that has been getting a fair number of spins of late.

Superb !

More Neil Ardley tonight..

Some years ago a local store (now no more) had an original Philips copy for £5. One mark on it, which would probably have been OK. Like an idiot, I passed. Needless to say next time I was in the store it was gone.

Still got my CD version, which I think is the Canadian Axiom issue. In other news.... not yet on my deck but this nugget from Sam Records is on its way from Paris...

Yes, it can be a pig to find at decent price. Bad enough on CD and even worse for the LP version. The LP was the one I started with, got offered a CD version and liked the extra convenience so well covered ! One of my very favourite Mosaics and like all of those Roulettes, in impeccable sound.

Congrats. That is a great set. $ for £ about the same that I paid for a NM CD copy a year or so ago, which was itself a good deal. You will enjoy delving into this set.

2CD

Bought a whole stack of them that day. Japanese Verve, Pablo, Argo etc. £5 each, all brand new !

It’s on one of the subscriber comments. It mentions that this was notified to and agreed with site admin. Neil Ardley ‘Kaleidoscope of Rainbows’ 2CD has just arrived in the mail.

There’s a comment on the site that the drummer is identified as Bryan Spring, not Moholo. One to download though, for sure. Just downloaded the whole of the Harriott, onto 2CDs and sounding more than OK. I wonder whether Garrick and Keane were both studying at UCL English faculty at the same time? I have the feeling that Keane curtailed his studies. I think he got the ‘Shake’ nickname before starting these studies. Bobby Orr took over on drums from Seamen at some stage in the Harriott lineup.

I picked up a Japanese copy of this for £5 !
