More Holborn than Camden. I used to work just across the road from the theatre. About 5 mins from Holborn tube station. Yeah, its amazing that I didn't know it, as I used to go to the college up the road (UCL). Frequented Southampton Row quite a bit in those days.

Clifford Brown 'The Complete Paris Collection' (UK Vogue 3LP set) As good as a Mosaic !

Answering own question - "Jeanetta Cochrane Theatre, Southampton Row, Bloomsbury, London" In the Borough of Camden then but not in Camden Town. Can't recall ever seeing this place on Southampton Row, how did I ever miss it !

Well, I used to live in Camden but I never heard of that place. Did it morph into the Shaw Theatre at some stage?

What a find - indeed. I'll be on to this one - and can the reissue of the studio 'Dejeuner' recording be far behind? Come on, Universal UK (and get your act together with 'Windmill Tilter' too).

Gil Melle 'Tome VI' (Verve, stereo). Love it ! Cal Tjader Quartet 'Saturday Night/Sunday Night at the Blackhawk' (Verve, stereo) Dizzy Gillespie 'Perceptions' (Verve)

I have that original LP on quite a recent vinyl reissue. It must have ben one of those 'Sony Special Projects' releases. Must admit, I've never given it much of a listen (unlike the Mosaic), must put that right.

A few too many wide shots over the bar by Portugal - they played with great flair though. In the end, outwitted and out-gunned by the Germans !

That concept just....boggles my mind. I mean, of all the ways to store data "impulses", a TV tube? Wow, that's a trip. Yes, indeed. In the days before solid state memory, storage of data was a real challenge. Still, it's a bit more compact (and economical) than a huge tube full of mercury !

pardon?

If I remember rightly, the Ferranti Mk 1 used a CRT tube as its main memory store - relying on luminescence to store the 1s and 0s. Later on, Ferranti switched to magnetic core memory (I remember seeing one of these very gizmos in action in one of their military systems). The other major computer development at the time in the UK - at NPL Teddington - used a mercury delay line for storage. Manchester University in the early 1950s was an amazing place. Not only were they building machines such as this but they even had the likes of Alan Turing on staff to programme it. Too bad it all went to rats..

What an embarrasment ! w**nker !

£1.99 a litre at a place in Exeter before the fuel blockade of Shell stopped !

One more for 'The Time and the Place'. Probably my favourite of the Mosaic Singles so far, along with the Blakey 'Hard Bop'.

Bl**dy h*ll - talk about blast from the past.

I was wondering about that 'over the hill' bit too. Was recently spinning 'Yes, Yes Nonet' on Steeplechase. An excellent record by an under-rated band (although the LPs got good reviews at the time they came out). There's one on Chiaroscuro that I seem to recall too.

Let me guess the name.. Krapp?

Wasn't it a proposed 'Lucky Thompson Convention' at somewhere obscure like Coventry? Don't think it happened in the end.
