There is hope. Had ordered from an italian seller a vinyl which seemed lost or stolen  too. In a private email he sweared he had shipped it. Discogs had suggested to him to refund me. No reaction. Three month later the vinyl arrived a my housedoor.

So have a little patience more ;-]]

 

 

I’ve little doubt it will arrive - and my suspicion is sometime next week after the UK customs people finally work out with their abacuses how much import tax is payable on it. It was so much quicker and more reliable with Mosaic shipping though in the old days.

No doubt when it arrives it will be superlative, as per usual.

I have a number of the JATP LPs on Clef and one on Stinson I think, a 10” . It’s nice to have them all nicely compiled on CD in best sound though.

I saw him ‘89 or ‘90 too. In the old ‘Cafe des Copains’ in Toronto, where this Sackville recording was made (I think). Saw Sir Charles Thompson at the same venue around the same timeframe. That place was an absolute mecca for jazz piano.

Ah yes, Mole and Ed Dipple. A mutual friend, emailing this week from Milan where he now lives, writes: "Next year will be the 30th anniversary of Ed's premature demise."

A sad anniversary. Wish his shop was still in operation and that he was still behind the counter. At least I have the t-shirt to remember it though.

Ah yes, that was my idea too when I ordered the box.

I went there in the late 90's while vacationing in London. I was pretty disappointed. I went through the whole place and had no luck at all. Now that Tower Records store in Piccadilly Circus... that was nirvana. It was convenient too. Come up the tube escalator, grab a coffee at the Dunkin' Donut shop right at the top of the escalator and then a few steps across the street and bam - you were at a great CD shop. I must've bought 10 Japanese CDs during that trip.

That was after the Ed Dipple era - not the same, sadly. The late 70s through the 80s were the ‘golden era’ for Mole. Having said that, I did find some really good things there, right through to their final move into Harold Moore’s Classical shop. The dusty and neglected second hand area upstairs in their relocated site could result in bargains (not recommended for asthmatics).

Tower In Piccadilly Circus - used to get lost for hours in that place.

Still mixed feeling on this one. I love Hannibal, I really do.  But I never understood why he had such terrible singers on his records. Do others experience the same or am I hearing something wrong? I mean the woman on this record is seriously out of tune.

The best/worst thing about that Tower was it was still open after the pub chucked out...

I think that one is about to be reissued in the Tone Poet series. Love those limited edition Kings.

[sidewinder]

Deck now back in action after an upgrade so spinning some of the items hiding in the racks.

Starting with this 2LP Anthology put out by the good folks at Soul Brother Records.

Linn PSU got a new motor, circuit board and tachometer. Pretty ‘radical’ upgrade, I have to say. The feet are tapping !

Yes, the Hill and McLeans are going to be must haves, I think. I don’t have ‘Mr Natural’ on vinyl so will be tempted with that one too.
