woken by the postie with a mint copy of Colosseum's first LP cheap off the 'Bay, then went out of Bristol to see a mate of mine (who's a dealer) who'd just bought a huge collection sight unseen at an auction described as 'Sinatra type stuff'. Spent a few hours helping him sort wheat (four mint Tubby Hayes LPs amongst them) from the near-chaff (55 Stan Kentons, every Mel Torme LP ever made, and loads of Tex Beneke, Ted Heath and assorted crap big bands...and picked up a few things for myself (cost me £40 in trades though):
Harry Roche Constellation - Spiral
(been a bit of a white whale for a while)
Milt Jackson - Olinga (nice CTI)
NYJO - Mary Rose
'Bones Galore
Avon Cities - Current AC
(local jazz outfit - never seem to see this one though)
Descriptive Guitar and Flute vol 2 (Sonoton 167)
and this badger:
David Lindup and the Big Band 'When the Saints Go' (Aristocrat)
This seems to be a commercial release KPM label...anyone have any info? are there others on the label?
Then got back home to find a parcel from the states waiting with the neighbours:
2 Free Design LPs / both Carolyn Hester Coalitions / Bobby Callender 'Rainbow' / Big Star 'Radio City' / Sarah Webster Fabio and a whole bunch of others...
