Very cool . Wish I lived a bit nearer to Derby !

Good to hear. My set has apparently reached the PO but those f**tards at Royal Mail are charging me £12 import duty of which £8 is a 'handling charge'. Sadly, as a result of this I'll probably look at ordering future sets from that Jazz Messengers place in Barcelona. They seem to have most of the Mosaics in stock and there's no BS on imports. Never thought I'd see the day that Royal Mail was as bad as Canada Post but that day has arrived !

Still waiting for mine to turn up in the mail. Any longer and I'll turn appoplectic !

That might well be my 'Xmas box' to self. Excellent deal !

Happy Birthday ! :party:

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 !

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.

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.

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.
