Visited the second hand shop in Cardiff this morning and picked up a few things I already had on LP

and something I didn't have before

B000B5H7U0.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

This is a 2 CD set, which includes 3 LPs issued (apparently only in Britain) on the DIP label in 1975:

The Mighty Upsetter - Kung Fu meets the dragon

Lee Perry & the Upsetters - Return of the wax

Vin Gordon (aka Don Drummond Jr) & the Upsetters - Musical bones

All very pleasant stuff, without being afire.

Someone I know was selling the OOP Tristano, Konitz, Marsh Mosaic set and I was able to get it for a reasonable price, so I snatched it up. I'm not really familiar with this music, so I'm looking forward to checking it out. :excited:

Well, I went round the other side of Terry's stall today and found these:

B0001P2KHU.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

RicoD1969BlowBig.jpg

Then Terry showed me this

B000F3T83M.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

So I bought that one, too. It's a good compilation for me; I don't have any Smiley Lewis, haven't any of the Pee Wee Crayton included, although I have quite a lot of the Guitar Slim, it's not on CD. All I have on CD are the 8 tracks by T-Bone Walker.

There are also three tracks by Boo Breeding included. The sleeve notes trash them! He is described as "a halfway decent singer", "a disciple of Guitar Slim, inevitably lacking the charismatic abandon of his mentor. He's abetted by an anonymous sextet who may not be the usual suspects. Of particular note is the guitarist, whose persistence isn't quite matched by his invention..." Actually, they're not as bad as all that. But, if JSP thought the tracks were that bad, why did they include them?
