Got mine on Saturday. Thank you--all the items are in reasonable shape. the jewel cases have seen better days, but I'm quite satisfied.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I am also on a nostalgia kick for good 60s-70s folk-rock (of which I have enjoyed some fine discussion threads on this list), jazzy progressive rock (Embryo, Nucleus, Canterbury stuff and Italian progressive). CD stores with good import sections often have some interesting finds. I'll Mapquest myself over to a few of your recommendations.

I will be in Austin, TX weekend after next on business (imagine that) and will take some time out Sat and Sun afternoon to comb the music stores. Any recommendations on jazz shops (vinyl preferred but CDs and japanese imports also)? Thanks

I have the vinyl and the arrangements are not corny at all--swinging for sure, sophisticated and modernistic. I don't know if the CD is stereo, vinyl was released I believe in both formats. Recommended.

Try to find Embryo--Steig Aus. Good diversity--not too slow, not too quiet, not too Eastern. Mal Waldron on keyboard.

I sent you a PM re Shorter--Soothsayer and Sun Ra--Lanquidity

I sent you a PM on Henderson, Moncur, Ghost (yeah!) and the Dead

Condolences to the family....

I'd like the Village Vanguard sessions if available. Are they the ones with Thad Jones/Mel Lewis on one and Gillespie/Adams on another?
