I don't usually go for multiple versions of big opera/vocal works, but this looks interesting enough to make an exception. Somewhat controversial recording with one voice per part and fast tempi. I like one voice per part in Renaissance polyphony, and clips sounded good, so giving it a shot.

Excellent performance with effective use of the single voices ....

reissue, purchased on reputation alone

Didn’t even realise that this one had been reissued on limited vinyl until now. Canadian issue by the looks of it. Purchased from the guys in Portobello, along with the 2nd Bird/Curtis and the Garrick ‘Shades’, which have been on my list for a while.

Reputedly, Guy Warren’s later album on Regal Zonophone was better, however I’m not complaining !

That's where I saw it and purchased it. Love their stock selection but the bank balance doesn't

I'm really looking forward to hearing the Warren - I've avoided listening to online samples. A game I play now and again so that the new purchase is fresh

The Bird Curtis keep flying into view too but as of today not snaffled

If I actually lived anywhere near their shops I would be bankrupted by now !  The occasional mail order purchase will suffice, eased by no mail charge above £50.

I had the Guy Warren on CDR but the damn thing no longer plays so delighted to see it on vinyl. A Lansdowne Series title which eludes me !  I see that it is advertised as a RSD release, presumably North America only as I didn’t see it in the RSD racks over here.

I went into carpe diem mode at Princeton Record Exchange and grabbed several multi-disc sets: The Weston, Pendulum, Bechet and Matthews Mosaic Selects, Coltrane's 1961 Village Vanguard box, Fletcher Henderson's three-disc Columbia box and the two-disc Mulligan/Webster deluxe edition.  I passed on several other sets having already exceeded my meager budget, but I also bought several other single discs, which I'll post later.

Copy number 320 just landed from West London.

’Return To Analog’ who have reissued this have also put out some interesting CBC Radio Canada reissues, which I must check out. I note with this Guy Warren that the co-operation of the Warren Estate is credited, so maybe we will also see reissues of ‘Emergent Drums’ and ‘The African Soundz’.

And I have one of those red and white postcards from the postman...rather than a red and white box from out West

Here's hoping for the other reissues

It's still hard to believe Kevin Mahogany is gone.

Yes indeed - I happened to witness his first and last performance here in town, which also happened to be the first and last of the touring agent involved, who had to retire after back problems involving surgery. Several aspects of an era now gone. 

Yesterday these two arrived:

Is it the same store with the same stock as before?

I can think of a few places I wish that could happen to!

It is the same store but it must have been closed for 10 years. I was driving through town yesterday and it caught my eye and my first reaction was that it must be an old sign but it wasn’t.  I went there today and, yup, same location and same owner. I think a lot of the stock was probably the same. He said to me, hey, I know you, you’re the jazz guy. I laughed. He said he wanted to reopen the store and the landlord offered him a good rent, cheaper than he was paying 10 years ago. Imagine that.
