Same here.

Trunk Records can be relied upon to offer something of a wide-ball..

Yes, it came out as one of the Japanese Fontana reissues with Marte Roling artwork... I have a copy. I've got a Japan Fontana LP with this sleeve art somewhere...

A great box set for me is one that makes you consider an artist whose work you know well from a completely fresh perspective or one which presents new material in a genre that is new to you and makes you re-consider your old assumptions. Examples of the former would be the Mingus Complete Debut box and Mosaic Dean Benedetti box. Mosaic are particularly good with the latter - the various Ellington and Armstrong boxes, Teagarden, Stuff Smith etc. to name a few. Then there are also Rumsfeld's 'known knowns' and I would count pretty well alll the Miles sets (Columbia CDs and Mosaic vinyl) in this category plus a whole raft of Mosaics.

Nice one !

The one by his daughter?

Basil Brush Kate Bush Baboushka

'Joe Newman at Count Basie's' (Mercury, stereo)

Thanks - relieved to hear that !

Phil Woods/Donald Byrd 'The Young Bloods' (Esquire, mono)

Flamin 'ell - I'm flying into that stuff ! Just hope it peters out by the following weekend..

Great deal, great set.

It's "in the family." Thanks for your sentiments ! Hope you got some nice ones from that list, Clunky. I just wish that the Esquires were easier to find. From what I gather, Carlo Krahmer and Peter Newbrook pressed them in very small runs/batches and some of the titles must have only got 1-2 batches at most.

Wayne Shorter mentions in his book carrying a hand-axe to ensure his safety to and from Slugs.

All the Very Best ! :party:

I was tempted by a copy if this on Alan's specials list but in the end I just couldn't justify the cost. My K2 disc will have to suffice. Great session Yes, this is indeed the one from 'the list' and I was suprised that Alan still had it when I asked. I'm a huge fan of Esquires and this only comes up rarely so went for it. Much, much better condition than the sleeve pic shown !

Hey guys, stop damn-well buying up all the 'Boom Jackie' CDs in Japan before I get to call in on HMV in a week or two.. I wonder if Dutton Vocalion might eventually release it? Still hope I guess...

'Auf Wiedersehen' is damn good - was listening to this recently. Really nice later trio date and very well recorded. The Japanese CD re-issue was very well done. John Taylor {'Decipher') George Shearing Monty Alexander

George Wallington 'New York Scene' (Esquire, mono).

Wish I could find a copy of the 'Orgasm' LP in Woolworth's, as the book states !

Yep, those are the ones. Wasn't even aware of those later issues !

I remember hearing it via CBC Radio Canada. On the Calgary Trail..

Those 2CD Mangelsdorff German box sets ('Three Originals') were the ones to go for. Came and went in a jiff !

Happy Birthday !
