Happy Birthday Kyo ! :party:

Or a good Uptown, maybe?

CD3 of the Art Pepper Mosaic Select. This Omegatape material is great !

I remember some big rounding-up price hikes in stores at the time that the GST came in. Any excuse and these guys will hike up !

Same here ! And that includes numerous Mosaic boxes on there too.

Inspired by viewing 'Play Misty For Me' for about the 101st time since I first saw it on the box last night ( ) listening to KRML Carmel on the net. Just hoping that Jessica Walter doesn't come round.. How have I missed that?

CD1

I've still got a sack of them if anyone wants to buy any !

Buzz Aldrin Buzz Lightyear Sgt Buzzcut

Yep, have that one too in the direct-to-disk and the sound is great. Dickerson positively shimmers !

Eddie Waring Eddie Izzard Eddie The Eagle

All the Best ! :party:

Mine is somewhere in the postal system ! Now spinning disks 5 and 6 of the Complete Verve Tal Farlow Studio box..

W C Fields Lou Rawls Lord Privy Seal Seal Bono Sting

Hootie and the Blowfish Toots and the Maytals Albert Heath Albert Hall Albert Pierrepoint Albert Steptoe

Thanks for your views, chaps. I remain on the sidelines on this one. I'm running out of space.

Could be a long wait..

Any thoughts on the 'Liebman/Beirach' Select? Not taken the plunge on that one to date..

I've always wondered if that tune 'The Intrepid Fox' was named by Freddie after the concrete pub just off Tottenham Court Road, London and not too far from Ronnie Scott's?

OOo - missed that. Now that the weather is a bit better, the trek down there to Newton Abbott is a bit more viable ! Need to make up for the last one I missed. Petrol prices permitting.

Amazing how you still find bundles of that one cropping up in 2nd hand shops here. And the one by Barry Miles !

Pity about the endorsement on the cover! I assumed you were talking proportionately but looking it up was staggered to see 28 000 killed. That is horrendous. I've never spent long enough on the Wars of the Roses to get it straight in my head - read a good overview a couple of summer's back as a result of walking over what little is left of Tewkesbury. But it's now got jumbled again. Wars of the Roses. The 'Roses' thing came later - not called that at the time, apparently. Nor did they all go around wearing red and white roses. As for causes - looks like the combination of a total incompetent/mad King (Henry VI) making a complete mess of his kingship (having been crowned king at age 9 both of England and -in Paris- of France, thanks to his Dad's legacy ), finally losing the French 'territories' and a whole heap of rivalry for influence that basically resulted in a battle to the death between armies drawn largely from the North (Lancaster) and South (Yorkists) at Towton. Something like 10% of the UK male population fought on that field that day. And Margaret of Anjou's power base was obliterated as a result. Arguably, we are still living with the consequences of this one! (thanks to the Yorkists winning - close thing, the weather advantage on field of battle swung it). And the recent archeological finds are staggering - evidence of acts not dis-similar to Kosovo and the like. David Starkey - really knows his stuff. The 'Introduction' he adds to this book helps considerably with regards to background/context.

This is good stuff. Thanks for the link !
