Looks like my turn to kick off (well, so to speak - I've not lived in Notts that long just yet). Anyway, a few nice bits from the Cattle Market, and a rather pleasant morning all round so far...
New Don Ellis Band Feat. Patti Allen: Goes Underground (CBS)
Mongo Santamaria: Mongomania (CBS)
Virginia Astley: From Gardens Where We Feel Secure (Rough Trade/Happy Valley) [this is superb: circa 1980, and sounds EXACTLY like Boards Of Canada]
Santana: Santana/Abraxas/Third Album (all CBS)
Osibisa: Heads (MCA) [lovely afro-funky set from 1972 - one of the best I've heard from them]
Geoff Love & Orchestra: Heat Wave (Columbia) [this is a pretty decent big band exotica set that looks 50s vintage...kind of even earlier Mandingo prototype than even Don Tracy's. How far back does old Geoff go?]
Stan Butcher Orchestra: Big Band Blowout (Fontana) [Lusher, Verrall, 'Caravan' & 'Sounds Of Mars'...great stuff]
Les Baxter: Conducts 101 Strings (Marble Arch) [at last!]
Also a few classical/early music LPs in stone mint nick,lute songs, troubadors and Renaissance Dance Music...and a bunch of hip-hop/electronica type things that have gone to the Trades section as I know bog all about any of them.
