The Harold McNair CD arrived today - once again, a very great job by Vocalion in putting out the two sessions 'Harold McNair' and 'Flute & Nut'. Very good sound indeed and some nice liner notes by John Cameron on reminiscences re: McNair and Oliver Lomax putting the sessions into perspective with his other recordings. Cameron is featured strongly, of course, in the arrangements for 'Flute & Nut' (which seem to have been pitched for airplay on the Jimmy Young show.. - enjoyable though).
I wonder if they can get hold of the master for a reissue of 'Affectionate Fink' (probably not, if they are still owned by Island Records I guess).
