That's a good deal on the Shorty Rogers LP set on there. A very good deal, in fact. Stuff the Irish debt crisis ! Go for it !

Yeah - the band with Morgan is fantastic too. I give the Hubbard band the slight edge, just by virtue of the quality of Mosaic and Free For All.

The best Blakey band I saw was with that one with Marsalis, closely followed by the Blanchard/Harrison lineup. Favourite on record is the Shorter/Hubbard/Fuller/Walton/Workman lineup. Unbeatable ! A point not lost on Sidewinder, who in "Name Three People" followed the British sadomasochist Max Mosley with the name of the Blakey bassist! I did?

I told my friend to step on the gas of the Opel Manta and 'follow that car' but she was gone in a flash. Ah well..

And 20% discount too.. The 3 Commodore sets have just come back up for sale. Thanks Brownie !

Going to crack open the Chu Berry with a beer tonight.

Anything to distract us sheep from the economy. This ploy last activated back in 1981 .. It'll be on 'Last Chance' for 7 years.. Here's my Princess Di story. I was once in the passenger seat of a car not far from Buck House back in 81/82 and she drove up right alongside in an immaculately clean (for London) Ford Escort Ghia, orange in colour (we were stuck at red lights). It was the cleanliness of the car that caused me to look - not realising initially who was driving it. I have to say that in the flesh she looked absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous, with a lovely facial make-up job. The fact that I recognised her and started telling my colleague who was in the driving seat caused her to go bright red embarrased, step on the throttle and burn through the lights straight down Pall Mall. I guess the Highway Code didn't apply.

Reminds me of the stuff that used to be gathering dust and cobwebs upstairs in the overhead racks at Mole Jazz. That's not to knock it though..I suspect that the owner had many, many hours of great listening pleasure.

Joe Newman 'Similar Souls' (UK Vogue, 2LPs). Reissue of some of his Roulette sides.

The only other time I saw Miles and Chet together was on those photos taken at the Lighthouse by Ray Avery !

LP sets seem to be keeping their value OK. Someone got a good deal on the 6LP Hall/Johnson/deParis/Dickingson set !
