‘Demon’s Dance’ needs a really good vinyl reissue. Near the top of my list.

Back on my turntable again:

So good.

I'm totally unfamiliar with that one.  Looks very interesting.

It’s recommended - fine big band recording directed by Neil Ardley and with strong Gil Evans influence. See my comments on the other thread concerning sound - likely better than the original LP (which was in mono).

No probs. I’m enthused over this one, better than I expected !

The (excellent) CD is long OOP so this is really the only option to pick up this title.

I don't think so. It says "recorded at Victoria Theatre, London" and I saw them at the Dominion, Tottenham Court Road, London.

Clearly they were in London for a day or two - enough for Monk to make those Black Lion albums.
