CD2

Stanislaw Lem Lemmie Lembit Opik

Remember listening to Gallivan quite regularly on Charles Fox's BBC radio 3 programme back then - he was resident in the UK I think. Now spinning Charlie Rouse 'Bossa Nova Bacchanal' (BN NY USA, mono)

I'm a fan of it. Have it on vinyl - recorded 'live' up in the mountains at Idlewild I think. It is a very happy and enjoyable recording. Very different from the likes of 'Happenings' and certainly of its time (i.e. it is pitched towards 'MOR'/FM airplay) but sometimes that can be no bad thing. The nearest equivalent by Bobby I can think of is 'Montara' - if you like that one you will probably like 'Linger Lane'.

CD6 ('Peter & The Wolf') and CD1

Costa Fortuna Bob Diamond Ruby Flipper

Nice to hear ! I'll be sure to make a visit to one of their stores when I'm in the Big Smoke next week (The Southern one, that is )

A Freddie Roach Select would have been great ! Too bad it won't happen..

Nice - This will influence me into putting the next order in direct instead of through jazzmessengers.

Foxtrot Oscar Sam Fox Sam Cam

Happy Birthday !

That one is a beauty Brownie - Can't believe I survived without this set for so long ! The music is totally life-afirming. It cost me the grand total of £6 too (my 'buy of the year' to date).

That's four votes: you, me, Bol and Romualdo... :tup :tup Vocalion have now put out so much of the previously rare Joe Harriott Lansdowne Series material and with much of the earlier stuff also on CD (Proper etc.) such a set - although a fantastic option - has probably now been overtaken by events (sadly). Ditto. What's missing? (though of course the thought is beautiful!) Hum Dono? And that's enough to fill a box? A whole box of 'Hum Dono' plus Tyrone Washington's 'Trainwreck' would get the orders flooding in..

He was releasing (very good) fusion LPs like the ones below around 1977 so I would suspect that the 1967 date might be correct. I suspect also that by 1977 Mike Nock would no longer have been resident in NYC and returned home across the Pacific.
