My wife's brother is married to Jimmy Hastings' daughter (and he played percussion with Caravan at one point) and I was able to share your kind words with her yesterday, Bob, and she is going to pass them onto him.
I am looking for the following volumes of the Duke Ellington Masters of Jazz series in excellent condition or better:
Volume 3. 1927-1928. Complete Edition (MJCD 25)
Volume 4 - 1928 - Complete Edition (MJCD 30)
Volume 5 - 1928 - Complete Edition (MJCD 52)
Volume 6 - 1929 - Complete Edition (MJCD 69)
Volume 7 - 1929 - Complete Edition (MJCD 88)
Volume 9 - 1929-1930 - Complete Edition (MJCD 123)
Volume 11 - 1930 - Complete Edition (MJCD 173)
Volume 12 - 1930 - 1931 - Complete Edition (MJCD 174)
I can get most of them individually, but the shipping costs are fairly prohibitive if I'm buying them one by one so am happy to discuss pricing. I am based in London but have an address in Northern Ireland (so in the European single market) or a proxy shipping address in the US.
Thanks
Denis

Mine was delivered by Royal Mail, without a customs bill, and in my experience they only ever bill in advance for customs so if it was delivered without a dreaded grey slip then you should be ok.
Hi everyone
I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I have a Google Play gift card in $ and I'm trying to add to my US Google account but because I'm in the UK it won't let me (even with a vpn).
Would anyone based in the US be happy to log in for me and add the credit?
Thanks
Denis
