Fine album. I have the same issue which isn't as iffy as other CBS pressings from that time. I was passing an Oxfam charity shop probably a decade ago and saw it in the window. Needless to say I parked up..

That was well spotted from the car. Always good to give to charity...

A couple CDs that I ordered today via Discogs:

Sonora Ponceña - Musical Conquest (Conquista Musical) (Inca, 1976)

 

Ganelin, Chekasin, Tarasov - Con Anima / Concerto Grosso (Golden Years of New Jazz)
CD reissue of two LPs originally released on Melodiya in the USSR; recorded in 1976 and 1978

Yesterday I intended to place a cdjapan order, had a cart ready in advance.

But I overlooked the time difference, and the coupon I intended to use had expired (midnight 1/15 Japanese time).

Oh well, I did save the money.

😵  Oh man.  That's a bummer.

Not so bad. There'll be another coupon offer before too long. Risk is significant items from the cart selling out in the meantime. As a chronic fence-sitter, it happens. I'd spent a bunch of money before year-end and understandably hesitated.

Yes!!! . . . I got lucky.  I stumbled across a copy at one of my favorite Discogs retailers, so I snapped it right up. 

Having the @soulpope seal of approval, it was a "can't miss" buy!

Believe it or not, I picked up a copy of that one a few years ago and have yet to give it a proper spin. Will resolve that forthwith !

It's nice when you come across those CBS/Realm albums for half-way sensible prices. One of my favourites is the Frank Ricotti, which I came across in Mole's 'Collectors' rack for a sensible £20. That was a couple of decades ago though.

Two items that have likely never been ordered together 😄

 

[HutchFan]

Norma Winstone - Edge of Time (Argo, 1972)
2012 Wah Wah Records (Barcelona, Spain) reissue

I was surprised to see a US-based seller on Discogs offering this LP for a very reasonable price -- so I jumped on it.   

Last summer, I had a chance to visit Wah Wah Records in Barcelona and picked up their vinyl reissue of Neil Ardley's A Symphony of Amaranths.  It was beautifully done, so I'm looking forward to hearing this Norma Winstone LP.

That's the edition I have, you'll not be disappointed I'm sure. Good find

A lot of music by someone I don't know, Manuel Zurria

https://ants4.bandcamp.com/album/fame-di-vento

It was a recommendation from a trusted source on X and I do nearly always love new and contemporary music composed for flute

That looks very interesting.  I'd love to hear your impressions after you've had a chance to absorb the music.
