Today was the first day of winter sales. Went to the large stores to check the items for sale! Bought too much, once more!

Virgin had many 5€ items (Japanese CDs went at 9€). No vinyls.

FNAC had the sales items at 3€, CDs and vinyls.

Virgin was selling quite a number of Tzadik and Chronogical Classics at 5€.

Bought several Japanese piano trios CDs (Kenny Drew, George Cables).

Also Evan Parker & September Winds FMP's Alder Brook.

FNAC was also selling several Tzadiks. Got a couple of Masadas, plus Zorn's Madness, Love and Mysticism. At 3€ each, took the chance and hope not to be disappointed!

At FNAC got some SteepleChases (including Von Freeman's Lester Leaps In and Walter Davis Jr's Scorpio Rising).

Plus Enrico Pieranunzi 'Alone Together' with Philip Catherine, also an Yuri Horning's Seven. With a rhythm section of Paul Bley, Gary Peacock and Paul Motian, that one should be good!

Grabbed a few Sun Ra Saturn reissues on vinyl also. I had my hands full. And will have an earful for a long time!

The sales are supposed to go on for a full month. But the interesting items are sold within the first hour :unsure:

**** This is the silver 2xLP with Coryell going bananas on the feedback.
