Very Happy Birthday, Guy ! :party:

That was the first version of that one I bought - still have it. The US orig. is better sounding but the 70s UK Impulse is fine. Turns out they were working from an early generation set of master tapes I believe, for those 70s reissues. Still remember the excitement of picking up that one and 'Africa Brass' up in Taunton back in 1976 (at a vinyl emporium now long gone). Cost was about £3.50 each - not cheap back then. They came with US sleeve liners too (with lots of 'foxing'). I'll stick with my Beatles Mono Box CDs for the 'White Album'.

Damn ! Hope to catch one of your gigs at some date, Alex ! Trust me to get a London trip the week right after the London Jazz Fest.

Anything coming up in the London area during the week of the 21st Nov?

Mr Kurtz Kurt Weill Wiley Post Wile E Coyote Beep Beep the Road Runner Bleep & Booster

It's on my list too - but 2013/14 as there's quite a few things ahead of it.

I guess the people at London did a pre-Photoshop Photoshop of Monk with stock footage of Picadilly Circus at night.

Yep, I saw the box for sale 2nd hand quite recently. German Amazon might be a good place to look for it.

I can just about read the print of the liner notes but I agree - it is a pain !

Just picked up the Marion Brown 'Geechee Reflections/Sweet Earth Flying'. Excellent sound and great reissue.

At the bar..

Hapappy Birthday Matthew ! Good excuse to spin some Miles.. :party:
