BillF Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 My cheapest new purchase ever! £3 at Fopp. And why have we heard so little of Ted Brown? Fopp is great for £3 to £5 specials. Really miss the Bath store, where you could pick up much of the Blue Note/Capitol catalogue and CBS/Sony stuff for £5. Got some truly great deals there. At least the Bristol store up by the University is still operating and doing the £3 deals. Not quite as accessible for me though. I haven't bothered with Fopp in Manchester recently - not since they were "HMV-ised". HMV's promise of allowing them to trade as before seems to have crumbled and the jazz stock has now been reduced to the pathetic collection you can find in their owner's store up the road. Quote
colinmce Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 A steal at about $10 for the pair, methinks. Quote

The prices are much better though! At the FOPP in Covent Garden I picked up 'Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia' for 10 pounds and Sonny Rollins 'Road Shows Vol. 1' for 3 pounds. Quote

sidewinder Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 Ah - the FOPP Covent Garden. That's the one on Shaftesbury Avenue isn't it? Picked up a copy of the ECM tome by Steve Lake there only last week for £10. Reduced from £45. Quote
save0904 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 Lee Konitz Thingin' I really stretched my budget this month, so hopefully this is the last MUST have for this month :-) Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 Thank you, Bill! It was your posting of the 'Only the Blues' album (on as I type) that sent me in search to Fresh Sound. I know some feel listing albums listened to is pointless but I find it an endless source of interest, alerting me to things I'd otherwise miss. Quote
slide_advantage_redoux Posted July 17, 2010 Report Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) Picked up what looks to be a very cool LP at a local goodwill type store for a dollar. Kansas City Suite Count Basie and his Orchestra The music of Benny Carter Label: Forum Edited July 18, 2010 by slide_advantage_redoux Quote
colinmce Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 I passed the Quebec/Hardee up a couple months ago for $20. I don't think I'll ever stop kicking myself for that. Stupid, stupid. Quote

ejp626 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Posted July 21, 2010 I passed the Quebec/Hardee up a couple months ago for $20. I don't think I'll ever stop kicking myself for that. Stupid, stupid. Astonishingly enough the Chicago Public Library has multiple sets of this (someone in the music collection was obviously an early supporter of Mosaic), and between them, I was able to find clean sides to listen to (yes, I gave them back). I'm pretty sure they had the Ike Quebec 45s on LP as well, and I checked them out, but I don't see these any longer in the catalog. Either the catalog is wrong, the library de-accessioned them after getting the CDs for the reference music collection or someone couldn't resist temptation. All reasonably likely. Quote

BruceH Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 A couple of CD's I ordered online just came over the transom---Southern Scene/The Riddle (Brubeck) and the aforementioned Adderley Sextet in New York. About that last, when somebody mentioned it recently on the board I thought surely I must have the album, but a look through my collection proved that I did not, strangely enough. Newbury Comics soon cured THAT. Quote
