Ebay / Morgan-James Duo. Music, money and morality
Trawling charity shops in October saw Morgan-James Duo At The Bar of Music LP. Mmmmm... interesting cover. But nahh...track-listing looked a little poor.. Passed on it.
Xmas coming / too much unplayed vinyl still waiting at home etc.
Passed on it again November / December / January 2005.
February-ish 2005, ebay browsing as you do....and there it is listed by a favourite seller of mine...with two days to go...at £38 + . And three of the bidders are private. (Finally went for £40+)
Hot-footed there next day..(pound signs rolling in my eyes I'm VERY ashamed to say)...and got it...hooray.......excellent condition.
Being post-Xmas cash strapped I had every intention of selling it on ebay..honest I did..even though I've not sold anything before but...
Played it and love it. Great harmonies and 'live' feel, refreshingly close-mic'd and under-produced and a wicked urgency about it...fresh takes on Guys and Dolls, Moon River and It ain't necessarily so are present faves but it's great all the way thru.
Any info on these two? The ebay seller noted that the bass player Peter Morgan went on to be a very respected 70's bass player. I'd love to know more....
I've googled the names to no effect.
Needless to say....it's found a good home. Even if I am £40 short next month.. well sod it...the cat's just going to have to learn to hunt again.
Now be really gentle on my ignorance please...
