Lonnie Smith 'Think !' (BN Manhattan) More than acceptable sound !

Leo Parker 'Let Me Tell You 'Bout It' (BN NY USA mono)

Three Sounds 'Soul Symphony' (BN Liberty blue/black)

Hen Gates Rooster Ties Colonel Sanders

Both are still listed for sale via the Vocalion site so - in print.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Based on the sound quality of the Vocalions, looks to be a bit of a superfluous exercise.

Yes, still to be released here in the UK as well. Anyone out there seen a review copy?

Was thinking of getting hold of this book of the Mati Klarwein cover art and was wondering if anyone who had got it/seen it had any thoughts on it? Mati Klarwein book

I was too lazy to lift this Mosaic box today and went for Miles/Gil on the CD big box instead. Spoilt for choice !

Thanks Guys for all your good wishes . I was full of a very nasty cold for most of it ( ) but at least managed to get some good music listening in ! Cheers Erik - Shame Vinyl-West isn't just down the road and accessible worldwide via tardis ! Indeed John - Really must get back down to Turner-Sims. I'll let you know when I next head down.

Freddie Redd 'The Connection' (BN 47W63rd DG mono)

Some nice Blue Note by way of celebration (no work today ) Kenny Dorham 'Una Mas' (BN NY USA mono).

Way to go ! Belated Happy Birthday ! :party:

Thanks very much chaps ! I'm not really 100 (although at times in this country it feels like it).. Currently kept in check..

I had that record back in my LP days, but I don't remember if it was any good. I've got the LP on the UK 'Charlie Parker Records' label. Budget label Egmont - I think it was - who issued it (located 'Up North' back in the day).

That one will be going on deck today. Great album !

Cannonball Adderley Quintet 'In San Francisco' (UK Interdisk/Grauer DG, mono)

I've never heard 'Movement' (and the only LPs of it I've seen were less than pristine copies in mono going for the best part of £1k !) Not heard 'High Spirits' either - in fact never, ever seen a copy of it. My CD (and the McNair) is on order from the boys at HMV. Both of these are important releases. My guess is that they have access to the material held by Universal - which ponders the question, why no Neil Ardley 'Dejeuner', Phil Seamen 'Live', Colin Bates 'Brew' etc?

I gave both CDs of this set a spin a couple of days ago. Hugely enjoyable, for the playing of both McLean and Redd.

I believe it was one of the Columbia Landsowne LPs when issued in the UK; Serenus is mostly a classical label, I think. Looks like sealed copies pop up on eBay fairly frequently for not too much bread. Yes, a Dennis Preston production - it came out in the UK on Columbia in the Lansdowne Series - I have a copy of it. The US issue on Serenus seems to be much more widespread than the UK issue. Musically, the session is a mixed bag but it's certainly unique and Shake Keane is typically good on it. The Max Harrison essay referred to here is very interesting read - and the Lp also appears in his 'Modern Jazz - The Essential Records' book. Liberty blue/white issue?
