I ordered that 2-3 weeks ago from Amazon & it still hasn't shipped. Wonder why.

(For us US folks), I don't think it is a domestic label.

More above-par early-1960s Bud. My appreciation for this period has only deepened as I’ve gotten older:

I don´t have this one, but it looks very similar to the 5 Steeplechase LP´s of "Golden Circle" with the same personnel. I remember those "Golden Circle" tracks left me with mixed feelings, since it´s a bad tuned piano, and the bassist and drummer seemed to be too much in awe of playing with Bud. If Bud want´s to give them some solo space they are very reluctant. 
To work as a single with local rhythm sections if they don´t really know the music can be a drag and it seems that in Stockholm Bud was quite "trapped" in that situation. Maybe this explains a certain monotony in the program. Too many long extended 12 bar tunes (Blues in the Closet, Straight No Chaser, Relaxin´ at Camarillo, etc.). 
 

I think I have heard the Oslo tracks too at someone´s place, it´s very similar to the swedish tracks, but maybe the piano is better tuned.....
