I think I can just about afford his book !

My vinyl copyof this one (a 50s UK pressing) is actually a 10" LP.

Eric Pickles Erik The Viking Eric The Half A Bee

Just noticed that the LA Jazz Institute were hosting this event at the LAX Marriott over May 26th-29th: Big Band Olympics Looks like some great stuff on there. Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band, Dusko Goykovich Big Band, Arturo Sandoval, Bill Holman Big Band and a Valery Ponomarev Blakey Big Band Tribute. Plus a Clarke/Boland Big Band tribute.. Anyone on the Board planning on going?

It dropped by 1 when I left ! What a jerk !

They must have re-used the NY USA stampers for that Harold Vick. Does it have a Liberty sleeve? Very good title, by the way. And one of the scarcer NY USA pressings.

Woody Woodpecker Dickie Bird Hen Gates

Being congested on an island (or group of them) must have much to do with it. UK? Yeah - we're the undisciplined anti-matter version. Level of congesation in Japan must be much higher though (I'm thinking here of the rush hour trains and the special measures to get people on trains).

Ed Balls Mrs Balls Baby Balls

Being congested on an island (or group of them) must have much to do with it. Good to hear that Hiroshi's family is safe.

The Tolliver Big Band and Rivers Selects are going straight in near the top of my wish list ! I wonder if we will get any more Strata-East on Mosaic Select? Stanley Cowell and Clifford Jordan for example.

Spanky deBrest Max Mosely Singalongamax

Amazon UK have it for about £11 so I think I'll add it to my list.

No kidding. I'd been under the baffled impression for 35 years that it was about King Charlemagne !

Robert Wyatt Elton Dean Hugh Hopper

Sounds like blocked Eustacian tubes - a common affliction with divers. Should clear OK as the infection goes but try holding nose/holding breath and applying moderate pressure via the diaphragm.

Frankie Howerd Fred Titmus Abby Titmus

I remember seeing that Reprise Longbox for sale in shops here in the UK (FOPP). Retailed for about £40 I think.

Reminds me of the communications chaos of 3 Mile Island and different communications outlets saying different things and exacerbating the problem.

Mike Osborne 'Outback' (Turtle Records, white label, stereo)

A small fortune then, 'back in the day' !

Buddy Rich CD2. Fine, swinging set this one.

Sorry to hear this - he was very under-rated. Was on TV recently in that BBC Brubeck documentary - very eloquent I thought. RIP.
