Little shopping trip to Cardiff and a visit to the second hand record shop. Snagged cheap copies of

Nice 2CD set and I've only got 8 tracks on my other Reed compilation.

Even cheaper and just as well, because I'd forgotten that I already had "Plug me in" on a Collectables twofer (coupled with "High voltage"). So. OK.

It's kind of interesting how the covers/colors worked out.

The Lynch/Charlap is the only one I don't have. What's your take on it?

Two more of the great big bands turned up this morning.

As Buddy Johnson's is my favourite big band, I thought I ought to extend my measly two LPs into a more comprehensive selection, so I've started with these, which were fairly cheap - though postage from France is expensive. I only have about four of the tracks on the two CDs already.

Great swinging band; wonderful songs; great singers. Who could ask for anything more?

Good to see that there's at least one person who hasn't been affected by the state of the economy. :D

:lol: I owe it all to the generous and equally hungry-for-new-(used)-music members here who gobbled up a long list of CDs from me that I no longer listened to! So really it's kind of a giant CD swap, in the grand scheme of things. :tup

And in that spirit, one last one today that I couldn't pass up after visiting the hep thread:

Bennie Moten -- "1929 - 1932: Band Box Shuffle" (hep)
