Hey Ben - would be very glad of the Oscar Peterson, John McLaughlin and Staple Singers, if you'd be so kind.
Hope to do my own Freebies giveaway sometime soon

That "jungle drums" studio 2 LP is calling out to me Bongolia...

[IAN]

Very kind of you Bongolia

Could I bagsy Roy Gubby, Young Generation and Mac & Katie Kissoon? Got some freebies for you to look through in exchange if you like

[bongolia]

you better heed the call then!

I've got "Taboo" on 45 so can't really justify the space in keeping the LP

Heya! Could I please put my name down for Birds & Brass, Bobby Womack and Lee Garrett! Thank you for sorting these out :-)

[Shere Khan]

I'll have a bash at Noro Morales, Martinu's Jazz inspired pieces, and Amor Canto Primeiro. Cheers chief.

That Manhattan Transfer LP is one I'd grab if the house was on fire. I expect everyone will wonder why- I just like it, it's in my top ten. I bought it when it came out, I still play it, so it must be good.

Could I please grab the Manhattan transfer?
no idea what it is but interested to hear a shere Khan top 10 lp

[bongolia]

Of course! If you can read Japanese you can sing along (it's a Japanese pressing)

Go Jay. You probably will think 'what the hell...'- but what the hell. Favourite track, all of them but maybe 'Nothing You Can Do About It', or 'Shaker Song'.

Right now I'm listening to White Light White Heat which is a whole other kettle of fish. Favourite track, 'Sister Ray' of course.

[candiman]

Could I nab Brown Sugar/Clydie King , Snowboy and Buffy Sainte Marie please.

Oops! Sorry Bongolia - so surprised to find myself landing on the site straight after this lot were posted I didn't read poster name carefully enough
