I had the McNair in my hands at Ray's yesterday and I think I saw it in the racks at HMV Oxford St too (they had the 2CD Dick Morrisseys and Dankworth Full Circle for £6 !) I passed on the McNair as I'd already mail ordered it from HMV - only to get an 'Out of Stock' email from them this morning.

Didn't realise they were open to the public during working hours. I'll have to drop by next time I'm in the area.

More like cover art for Mrs Mills or Winnifred Atwell !

The Harriott 'High Spirits/Movement' 2CD has just arrived in the mail. Wow - sounds great. Adrian Kerridge did a very fine recording job on both sessions.

Ah yes, I was confusing with Hawksworth on this theme. Never knew he did the 'Roobarb and Custard' ! I think Tony Kinsey did the music for 'That's Life' every week - had to compose new stuff for each show under time pressure (and no doubt get a b*ll*cking from Esther Rantzen if he didn't deliver on time. )

I wonder when Simon's Tubby Hayes bio is coming out? That one seems to have been 'in limbo' for ages - very much looking forward to it.

Was just watching an episode of this last week (don't ask ) and noticed T. Kinsey's credit on there. Didn't he also do 'George and Mildred'? 'That's Life' as well of course - plus many others.

No McGhee on this one. very much a feature for McLean - and a good one !

Alfred Marx Karl Marx Marky Mark

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.
