Hah, looks like he's just had a nice cup of tea to me..

I hear you ! A couple of colleagues I've worked with for years and years took (early) retirement over the past few months. One minute they are there, the next they are totally off the face of the planet. Unsettling, for sure. The plastic stuff definitely helps with regard to relaxation and getting perspective in these times.

Sorry Clifford - I shouldn't be knocking ol' Kate B. I hear she has a Linn/Naim audio setup up - anyone? I think I paid $15 for a 1st stereo Liberty, but that was a few years ago. Not a bad date. I'd say no. Thanks for chiming in - seems too steep for me as well, but as I'm no expert in these things, I wanted to check. Would that be the Pathe Marconi French DMM pressing? I have one of those - bought it when it came out for about £3, it's OK. The Liberty original is better (and like an idiot I gave away my copy.) Alternatively, the Blue Label 70s pressing is an OK option, better than the DMM.

I paid £45 for mine (usual shop price was about £70-75)

$2K !!

Jean 'Toots' Thielmans 'Man Bites Harmonica' (Japanese Riverside) Often drive through there...

Happy Birthday !

Bud Shank 'New Groove' (UK Vogue DG mono)

Jacques Cousteau Captain Nemo Falco

Red Garland 'All Kinds Of Weather' (Japanese Prestige, mono). More block chords from the maestro.

Yeah, thanks Ubu. I roughly know where it is though !

Stiff Records classic. Blank on both sides

Violinski Bev Bevan Horace Wimp

'Jackie Mac Attack - Live' on Birdology for £4. How did this one pass me by? Woops - its a CD again, but what the heck

Kolbe + Illenberger 'Colouring The Leaves' (Mood Records). With Eberhard Weber and Wolfgang Dauner. Red Garland 'Red Garland's Piano' (Prestige Bergenfield DG, mono). Good sounding trashed LP that someone has marked up on the back for dancing quicksteps and foxtrots !

Larry Bunker Hughie Green Richard Tee

then - Bobby Hutcherson 'Linger Lane' (BN UA)

Stanley Turrentine 'The Look Of Love' (BN Liberty blue/white, stereo) Sounds much better on my updated deck and a way better session than it looks on paper (Stanley's playing is great, as always).

Men of Harlech Max Boyce Dafyyd

Lord Snooty David Cameron Jedward

Dexter Gordon 'Gettin Around' (Music Matters 2x45rpm, stereo) Another 45rpm gem ! Followed by Joe Henderson 'Our Thing' (Music Matters 2x45rpm, stereo)

Red Robbo Red Skelton Red Rum Yikes - horrible 1970s flashbacks

I've got the 70s vinyl reissue - will dig it out (an exped required) and see what the notes say. Recall at least one good solo by Bill Hardman ('Midriff', I think) leading into a majesterial Coltrane solo.
