The Slide Hampton session is absolutely FANTASTIC, in fact more than an octet with euphonium and tuba, huge sounding group. You were spot on there !

The Londons are superb sounding LPs. Usually in my experience significantly better than the Atlantic/Jubilee etc. issue equivalents from the US.

London had superior pressings, much better than most Atlantics. But I hated those slim sleeves!

[sidewinder]

Yes Brownie, the flimsy sleeves tend to fall apart pretty easy. Miraculously though, this one has survived its 45 years in great shape !

"Walk on the Wild Side" - Jimmy Smith
