Just ordered one! This is great work.

When I get a wife I want her to look a bit like this.

That yellow glove and everything about this pillow feels all natural too me. Guess I must have it. Whether your wife is away working or you broke up with your girlfriend, this hug pillow will maintain the comfort of your sleep. I will not mess around, just some cuddling, and then sleep.

The strange thing is that every vendor is calling the album "Face" even if it says "Faith" on the cover. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Face-Horace-Tapscott/dp/B00396DWKM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1271965378&sr=1-3 The exception seems to be Dusty Groove who has got it right.

A new album with Ran Blake and Christine Correa is just released on Red Piano Records: http://www.redpianorecords.com/artists/blake/Blake_OutOfShadow.html

Seems like Japanese Interplay has released 3 Horace Tapscott albums recently: "Faith", "Autumn Colors", "Song Of The Unsung". Anyone heard these, and especially the "Faith" set with a string section? http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=xvcw9nsmmg&ref=index.php

Bentsy: Would you post some feedback on those Tapscott's when you get them? Me bought today: Trembling Bells - Abandoned Love T++ - Wireless Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Wonder Show Of The World Allsopp, Stanley, Vosloo, Giles - A Flower Is A Lonesome Thing All new releases on vinyl.

It was a release from Japanese Universal, so chances are it used the same master as the CD release. If you want to try it Hiroshi Tanno of Early Records might be able to help you; it seems he has it in stock at the moment for 3500 Yen which is a better price than from Amazon. Thanks for the info, might check that out!

Happy Birthday to an Ubu! http://www.r13.co.uk/cd_reviews/10255/Pere_Ubu__Long_Live_Pere_Ubu.html

A lot of wind and hail here a period today. Nice again now with some clouds and partly sunny before the dusk sets in.

Anyone know how the vinyl version of Mexican Green from 2006 comes out soundwise? http://www.amazon.com/Mexican-Green-Vinyl-Tubby-Hayes/dp/B000EZ8AXA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1271610206&sr=1-2
