Isn't that La Jolla bay on the photo, perhaps? (the one that Captain Nemo is swimming in). I have this one on the original LP somewhere in the racks, plus a couple of the others and some of the compilations (including 'The Blues').

Indeed. Welcome to the board ! I remember the Gilles Peterson Radio London show. Didn't it come on straight after your own show, Brian?

Time to oil up the pushbike tomorrow..

"An "upgraded version" includes a TV and an iPod docking station."" Wot, no deck?

From the front steps of my house I can see the front entrance(the one on the back cover) of the building that housed "Pep's" bar. The building now houses a school . Awesome ! Got the photo in front of me. Hard to imagine it as a school looking at all the neon for 'Pep's Musical Bar'.

Thanks !

Yes, great! With the little-heard-of, though highly talented, Lee Katzman Good point - never come across him before. The rest of the band is incredible too - Jimmy Rowles, the great Doug Watkins and Mel Lewis !

Yusef Lateef 'Delilah' from 'Live at Pep's'. Always good to listen to that short gem.

I hadn't - but 'Visions' will be going on a bit later. Now playing John Coltrane 'More Lasting Than Bronze' (Prestige 24000 series twofer). Wow - 'Straight Street' sounds pretty damn good on this 70s twofer !

Yeah, we've been sporadically getting that stuff coming up from France to the Southern counties. Damn awful - you can keep it !

Have a great one !

Happy Birthday from me !

I thought that was a $300 record on a good day! Shit... You thought good !! but the market is insane! and the Esquire sounds better !

Yep, totally different reason. I was thinking about one of Chuck's old requests for a 'Complete Bobo Stenson' Mosaic set. Must have been years and years ago. Very sorry to hear the news about SEK. Didn't notice that he'd started the thread.

Morgan/Shorter Vee Jay - CDs 3 and 4. A strong set !

Which explains why one old vinyl shop I went in seemed to have dozens of the Barry Miles LPs, all at 50p to £1 !

Sorry to hear this - I feel the pain. Yes, natural drying and early treatment in the 'Nitty Gritty' machine should do the trick.

"What you get for $1.5 million: Small studio apartment" Collective madness !

London has been off the price scale for at least 25 years now in terms of affordability. It always was a rediculous place to buy but when people can sell 1-bed rabbit hutches in some overpriced yuppie enclave and buy a nice detatched house anywhere else in the country you know that things have just got silly. The market here is due for a significant downward adjustment but in the case of London I think it could be dramatic. Not least in view of the downturn in the so-called (largely virtual) 'service' industries of banking, insurance, property development, PR, telephone sanitising etc .

Sorry to hear this too. Wishing you well with future plans !

Still got a vinyl of the Cecil Payne 'The Connection' - will se if I can find it. Yes, Doris Parker is credited on the label. There's also an album by Slide Hampton - forget the title - and one by Barry Miles.
