Just got the new reissues of Tshona! by Pat Matshikiza and Kippie Moketsi and Shrimp Boats by Lionel Pillay and Basil Coetzee, both second hand and apparently never played.

Someone must have got them for a birthday present or something and taken them straight back to the shops. 

Anyway, a good lunch break.

Nice score!

Or review copies? Nothing better than a Friday lunchtime record shop, especially when it turns up such gems.  You're lucky to have a shop in easy striking distance of work (or home). 

It's Flashbacks Essex Road. No one's favourite record store, but better than many, and you sometimes find some good stuff. I'm still jealous of the Tottenham Lane shop, though.

That was my local for a good while and I try and pop in if I'm in the area as often something worth looking at. Their Crouch End shop is now nearer. Tottenham Lane is good but getting a bit pricier I think

edit to add: the one I wish I lived or worked close by is Atlantis who seem to have a never ending supply of interesting new stock if instagram's anything to go by

Two vinyl boxed sets. Already had the music on other media but the Mulligan/Baker on a 4cd PD set by Lone Hill Set. Never liked the sound nor the packaging. Always had a special bond with the Mulligan/Baker Quartet as my father used to play his Best Of cd compilation a lot!

The Tatum I already had on cd in separate volumes. Call me a sentimental fool but this is music I'd like to hear on vinyl. The volumes with Eldridge, Carter, DeFranco and Webster are all favorites of mine. The trio with Callender and Jo Jones is desert island material. Managed to get it in a neat state for 60 euros including shipping.

Cody Chestnutt - Headphone Masterpiece

I've had this album on CD for 20 years and came across a vinyl copy so I decided to buy it. It's an album I love and can't really place why/ 

[Larry Kart]

John Hicks/Ray Drummond "Two of a Kind" (Evidence)

[Rabshakeh]

Sam Rivers - Crystals 

Just bought it from Yoyo on the Hackney Road, where I am apparently known as "Joseph Free Jazz". 

(My name is Joe. So it isn't a random thing. I am still very pleased with my new nickname.)

You are likely to be pleased with your latest acquisition as well!

[Rabshakeh]

Thanks. It is a great record. I know it well. I just never found it in a shop for some reason.

Already had the Mingus, Powel and MJQ on cd.  The records by Prez and Bobby Bradford are truly new to my collection

Ever since I got to know him trough his ‘60’s stuff with John Carter I consider myself a fan of this underrated musician.

Ooof, knew about the co-leader date with Jackie; embarrassed to not know the others. 

To support my local record store (Record Den!) Don Ellis Orchestra LP with that crazy fraction on PJ and Joe Zawinul, The Rise and Fall of the Third Stream with Money in the Pocket as a bonus LP (Rhino). Bought my daughter the latest Def Tones record. 

Don Ellis: Pieces of Eight Live at UCLA

Roland Kirk: Original Album Series (Atlantic)
