Finds March

[Little Jimmy Oddman]

The Enchanted Isle (Avenue) was found in an antiques shop in Wolverhampton. OK, antiques is probably too strong a word. They do have plenty of other records, and it has turned up interesting things in the past (remember those acetates, Matt?) but it is mostly routine and overpriced. This is a jazz odyssey on the theme of Jersey. Curious in it's own right, but the appearence of Kenny Wheeler was a nice suprise. Can't track down very much on Jack Duff, though.

I found a copy of this last week and was expecting to Google it and find someone talking about it on here but there's only two mentions - this post and one from Wooly years ago..

Brit-jazz on a Label of Love, surely this should have got more attention? Its a decent enough LP all round but I really like An Oscar For Puffin, groovy and laid back in equal measure.

Anyone else know it?

I did have this once, I was really hoping it was going to be ace but then it didn't seem to make much of an impression on me so I let it go.

Now I feel like I might like it...

He also did an album on the York label from around '72 - called 'If the cap fits' or something. Have seen it around but never picked it up.

I've always been quite partial to Bouley For You off this LP. I could have sworn I put it on a VV mix at some point.

I appear to have contrived to post in the wrong 'March'. Why is life so difficult?

Good news, it doesn't last forever.

Oh brave old world that had such things in it.

vinyl finds over the last weekend



one of several albums I found in the same box, this is a great compilation of Stiffs








and this solo Stiff comes in fetching shade of blue, but hey it could have been yellow!









very odd Italian compilation put together to promote Lycra, not a great surprise
to see Rod Stewart featured then, but I wonder if Roxy Music sax player Andy Mackay
knew his image was being used for the cover?








lovely sleeve from Mr & Mrs Fripp but not heard it's contents yet, released on EG in '86





a quick search on this charity single by the ex ELO bassist found it to be scarce now,
so not enough folk were prepared to stump up the 89p or whatever it was in 1985 to help the poor animals,
but at least I gave 50p to a charity shop for it!







a few tip-shop finds turned up the LP in it's horrible sleeve above and a totally
bizarre disc of recordings of Futurist & Dada sound works dating as far back as WW1.
This was released on ARK Records in 1985 and comes complete with a booklet.









if this was a souvenir of NYC circa 1967 then I would have hoped for a more
eclectic set of tunes than this fairly safe selection from 1964 - still, a great pic of Manhattan on the front
