MG, do you have his Caribbean Suite album on RCA?

Not yet - I seem to recall I bought one off Dan the other day, but haven't paid for the records yet, so I don't have it written down nice and handy.

Oh, just looked it up and someone outbid me on it. Shrug. Will get it sometime.

Yes. It was a couple of years after Gil's death, but they continued to perform at Sweet Basil for awhile and I was able to see the group two times there--they still had the spirit and were fantastic.

Love it too, but I have the 8cd box.

Seeing them must have been a great experience! In the seventies at Manchester's Free Trade Hall I saw the Evans band that recorded Svengali.

The 8cd set is on Electric Bird k25y 9531-9538, expanding considerably the four 2lp sets.

Was it issued with a DG on one side ?

For some reason I thought mine had DG side 1 but just checked it and it hasn't - so ignore the DG bit ! :rsmile:

wow, that's a relief :lol:
