Oldies.com failed me so I ordered these titles elsewhere before they disappeared and before the prices became too prohibitive. Just a note to those who don't know or to reiterate to those who do, Oldies.com customer service is horrible unless you like non-responsive replies to any questions you might have that require any kind of effort on their part and that's assuming they even bother to reply.

I like west coast jazz so to round out the Nocturne Records collection I ordered:

Harry Babsin / Bob Enevoldsen - Jazz In Hollywood

Virgil Gonsalves / Steve White - Jazz In Hollywood

Bud Shank / Lou Levy - Jazz In Hollywood

A positive comment regarding Oldies: Twice (out of maybe 60 cds ordered) they shipped the wrong cd. I sent each cd back paying for my own postage. When the credit came through it included the price of the cd and the postage I paid. That shows they have integrity dealing with customers.

[mikelz777]

Yes, but they were only doing what they should do without even asking. (When Concord sent me a wrong CD, they had me keep it and rushed the correct CD to me at no extra charge.) Have our expectations sunk so low that we consider it a virtue when online retailers actually do what they are supposed to do? (Sorry, my bitterness is still fresh. I will still probably use Oldies in the future, but only as a last resort.)

Booker Little Complete Recordings - Featuring George Coleman

[jeffcrom]

Found a sweet one at one of my Atlanta used record stores today - Goin' to the Meeting by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, with Horace Parlan on piano. It was cheap and sounds great - looks VG but sounds mint, except for one minor scratch. It's got the yellow and black Prestige label and Van Gelder's stamp. The cover's in really nice shape, too. I don't need a bunch of Lockjaw's records, but I'm glad I found this one.

[Dave James]

The Doors Live At The Felt Forum, a 6-CD set from June of 1970. Crystal clear audio. Must be soundboard recordings.

Roy Campbell -- "Communion" (silkheart)

Jemeel Moondoc -- "Revolt of the Negro Lawn Jockeys" (eremite)

I have mixed feelings about Moondoc, but that's one of the great album titles of all time.
