Sounds like the good ol' Montreal Winter weather is kicking in. Brrr ! Enjoy the music, sounds great ! Do they still have those postal stations with lockers where you have to collect everything from? Extremely inconvenient, from my own recollection.

She must have got an I-Pad for Xmas this year !

My award for the most ridiculous Blue Note cover art ever !

Both of these guys (along with Ian Carr, Eric Burdon etc) came out of the 50s/60s Newcastle arts scene. In that era it was referred to as the 'Kansas City of the North'. Not a bad parallel - vibrant jazz scene and local government mafiosi (T Dan Smith etc.), a heady mix. 'Get Carter' sums it up well.

Isn't this one a repeat? (I think I heard it one lunchtime several years back - part of a whole series by Gambachini).

Gordon Beck Plus Two 'Dr Doolittle Loves Jazz' (Major Minor, mono). This was producer Ray Horrick's old copy. Nice that he did the sleeve notes too. Also a Michael Garrick obscurity from 1965. 'Anthem' (UK Argo EP, mono) And a nice 1955 EP from Joe Harriott. 'Joe Harriott Quartet' (UK Columbia EP, mono)

I came across a fairly good copy in a NYC vinyl shop (Academy?) some years ago for $10 or so. It had a (bearable) scratch on one of the sides so I passed. Been really regretting it ever since !
