Recorded in a Turkish bath? Indeed - the sound is very murky, sort of muffled by the primeval steamy pea-soup.

He must be due a dual citizenship by now ! (ditto - Scott Hamilton)

Congrats ss1 and thanks for the game, GA !

Pete LaRoca 'Turkish Women at the Bath' (Douglas reissue) Sounds like it was recorded in the toilets and with a totally out of tune piano but for all that - brilliant !

Justin Welby Rowan Williams The Bish

Don Ellis Orchestra 'Tears of Joy' (Columbia 2LP)

Has anyone had any experience of using the HMV website for ordering CDs? The last time I ordered anything from them, which was some time ago, I gave up after a couple of weeks and cancelled. Yes, I've ordered Vocalions from them and they arrived no problem within a week or so.

Red Garland 'Red Garland's Piano' (Prestige Bergenfield DG mono)

The Squadronaires Singers Unlimited Hi-Los

Interesting 7" single vinyl fetish programme on BBC4 last night. No mention of jazz of course.

Second that ! Must pick up that Gilson.

The only ones I've been to have had ECM playing in the background. Or something from Wolfgang Dauner's 'Mood' label.

Zoe Ball Kenny Ball Ken Baldock

Yes, it's some years since the good (but pricey) rare stuff was in that downstairs section. Haven't been in myself for a lonng while. Still - sad to see it go.

Bob Willis Chris Old Ian Botham

Some of these daft prices make things like the Rendell-Carr Columbias look like a bargain !

Yeah, that would have been a good deal. Next time I was back (having re-considered this one) it had, of course, gone. Had hesitated initially as I had no idea whether or not the LP was any good. Should have reminded self just how good Sulieman was with the CCBB ! By way of excuse - that particular shop at the time (Intoxica) had rare original Blue Notes like Lee Morgan 'The Cooker' and one of those Donald Byrd Transitions (sans labels ) so it's not as if there was any shortage of attractions ! I believe they are just closing down now though - which doesn't bode well for London. http://www.herblester.com/blogs/journal/6128134-lament-for-intoxica

Mick McManus Declan McManus Elvis Costello

Remember seeing an original LP copy of this signed by Sulieman in a London shop some years ago for about £50. Should have bought it !

I've still got that particular issue of the mag and remember seeing the Horo advert and wondering who would be crazy enough to order the lot. I guess whoever did was now glad that they did !

Is that price to buy the company?

Michael Gove Thatcher Milk-Snatcher Rhodes Boyson Sorry Bill - I pressed the 'Report' button accidentally.

I also thought this was a thread by a Realtor pushing condos..

Sorry to hear this - RIP.
