That's interesting about Marble Arch. Very different to how I remember the area too. York can be a fascinating place - I always enjoy visiting the Jorvik Viking Centre and the underground Roman bit of the Minster is a must-see.

He looks at least 20 years younger than his real age IMO. In good shape !

Looks good ! Once upon a time you could clamber on those stones and play cricket using them as false stumps.

Xybert - the Bill Evans Verve doesn't have jewel cases, it is clam shell box with card covers on the CDs. No CD-Rs though !

The Complete Bill Evans on Verve, Italian Universal reissue of the 1997 ammo box. The packaging and booklet are basic but the 22 bit remastering is superb. I missed this box the first time round - didn't want to pay £300 or catch lockjaw opening the thing up so £27 with an Amazon voucher is pretty good. Really glad to have this one at last !

Nice !

Happy Birthday Lon !

There was a time when she was omnipresent over here on TV with her 'Suprise Suprise' and 'Blind Date' shows on Saturday night.

I remember attending that week !

Liebman is doing badly! About 50 turned out to see him in Manchester in May. It goes without saying that the music was superb. Disgraceful - the guy is a master musician and a very eloquent speaker about jazz. If it had been nearer, I would have been up there like a shot to see that one..

Thanks for that. I need the Bill Evans Complete Verve Box (sans shrapnel enclosure) and the Miles Bootleg V4 !

'Pause and Think Again' is a great album. One of the best British contemporary jazz albums of that era. Just had a very pleasant afternoon listening to some early John Taylor on electric piano on John Surman 'Way Back When' and Harry Beckett 'Fall Out'..

He he ! I think it came out about 1966/67 and must have flown off the shelves even then (and was probably served up from under the counter in a brown paper bag). I certainly never heard of it until I heard about that reissue.

$300 would be very good price for a good copy of that LP these days. The cover is an absolute period piece classic !

The Freshman is good in small doses. I wasn't expecting a lot but found that I quite like it !

Trying to dig out that Fresh Sounds box to see what the notes say but I'm afraid to say - I can't find it. Time for a clear out !! I remember that credit to Rumsey in the notes though.

That's Devon for you...

For a minute there, I thought you had posted 'Opportunity' original was offered a mint original once for $1k, but that was then and is now a little more than I'd want to spend on an LP... Bargain ! 99 copies only - and you could only buy it I think in Chris Wellard's shop in New Cross, South London. I remember when that place closed its doors (early 80s). Lived just down the road from there a couple of years later but gone by then.
