That Elvis story is in Simon Spillett’s excellent Tubby Hayes bio I think. Just been re-reading it.

That LP must have been one of the Tempo label’s best sellers, TAP 22 I think. Rare example of one of their releases being reissued on the ‘Music For Pleasure’ label and thereby purchasable at Woolworths !

Good find. Not one that I can recall ever seeing in that version. Never knew of that one and will check it out too !

This one again - very enjoyable.

Enja CD

Reminds me that I saw Dulfer with his band play live at the Zermatt ski resort - an unlikely but interesting booking !

Wewerka Archive More Wewerka That cover art is up there with 32Jazz !

and my favourite (although I like them all).

A bargain, considering that an OP of ‘Shades’ just sold for £2500 (so I’m told) !

The booklet says MZCE 3010 MZCE 3011 on the bottom, if that helps. ‘Japanese Muzak’ - that’s a new label to me . Miles ‘On The Corner’ box, CD5

It is a Japanese ‘Enja Classics’ release dated 2005. Notes are in Japanese and English, the Enja logo on the CD is in German !

This is the UK Columbia sleeve, not the German Philips. The LPs were issued around the same time, the UK one in the Lansdowne series. I prefer the UK sleeve (and the Japanese CD is a perfect facsimile).

Japanese Enja CD I picked up at Disk Union (thank you, kinuta). Outstanding mastering, sonics and mini sleeve repro.

Turtle CD - More a Joy Marshall release with Beck’s group backing. Valuable release though.

Persusing the late, lamented Miles Kington’s tribute site I came across this interesting and perceptive article:- Miles Kington on Rendell/Carr

Totally relate to what Ed has said above. I will be going for this set - among other things it will make a fantastic continuous play on the USB stick in the car, which I already do with a number of beloved Mosaic sets. Listening to some of the Hank 60s LPs over the weekend emphasised just how brilliantly lyrical and inventive he was through that period - even though some of the material had elements of compromise.

Can I give it ?

CD4

After re-jigging the speakers, first time I have heard Jymie Merritt’s Ampeg bass on this 3CD set in total clarity.

Nucleus ‘Alleycat’ (Vertigo Spaceships label). Remembering Ian Carr, who left us just over 10 years ago.
