I feel good in this furniture: http://www.sexyfurniture.nl/en/enindex.html

Looks like a wonderful collection, got to get this one!

Hope they have "Omniverse", http://www.mmguide.musicmatch.com/album/al...GTH=full#review and "The Antique Blacks" on their reissue list too! Another classic, originally released on Impulse in 1973, with Ronnie Boykins prominently in great form on bass: http://www.the-temple.net/sunradisco/astroblack.html

Grreat! That's right on-topic!

Jimi sang and played a lot about freedom, both in music and in life. I have always loved his music. My favourite song: Gypsy Eyes Favourite song #2: Ain't no Tellin' This is my favourite album, strangely unavailable: Live at Winterland

That Classics Duke Ellington 1940 Vol.2 is such an incredible set of songs it is really worth having.

I'm with you on that! The title track "Out in Space" is some of the greatest space stuff I ever heard!

Maybe you can check directly with Abeille? abeilledirect@abeillemusique.com This site lists the Duke Ellington on Chronological Classics: http://www.depanorama.net/cds.htm

And now Abeille has many discs at 5,58 €! Check it out: http://www.abeillemusique.com/result.php?p...2&label=337 Seems like they have several of the Ellingtons too. - Jostein

Amazon seems to have most of the new in the Blues & Rhythm Series: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st?rs=30166...rt=-releasedate and in The Chronological Classics: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_adv...lbum-Submit.y=4

Has anyone heard this reissue series? http://www.pristineclassical.com/LargeWork...ral/PAJZ001.php Reportedly the sound on these are great. They release mostly titles with classical music, but also some jazz and blues.

For the real early stuff, this is a gem: http://www.yazoorecords.com/7015.htm This track is pretty undescribable, maybe the Uganda version of pre-avantgarde 4. UGANDA (GANDA), JAKALIYA OR ZAKARIA KASAS & GROUP, Ab' omupiira Bebale Okusamba

Thanks! Would have loved to hear the 1946 recordings too.
