This is extremely rare - the first time I saw a copy offered. This has never been reissued. If anybody here decides to buy this, please burn me a copy - I can't afford it right now ...

When did Lucky T turn white? Did that extend to his playing here?

So this is THAT rare??

Gotta play my copy once more

Bought it on eBay some 5 or 6 years ago, I think. Cannot have cost me much more than 20 euros or so (maybe less if I bought it in a multi-record auction) because I do have my limits, though for a while I tended to shell out for non-reissued Eurojazz from that era too.

If I had a turntable to CD burner interface I'd be happy to burn you a copy but right now I don't have the equipment yet.

@Christiern:

Re- the cover: My guess is that tenor sax man is Jack Sels.

Thanks Steve, I just wondered. Miles once said that some people thought he was a white chick, because that's what they put on his album covers.

Someone bought it, for £74,90 .....
