Do Dutch Vinyl sell cds?

Yes, but not their main business. I think you can see (part of?) their inventory on discogs (seller dutch-vinyl). That's where I found the Plugged Nickel box as well.

sidewinder, your description reminds me of Licorice Pie Records, though they're relative latecomers (opened in 2002 or so). 

Here's a (not) definitive guide that mentions them with a photo of the shop front

https://thevinylfactory.com/features/melbourne-best-record-shops-guide/

Used to frequent Greville Records (also in trendy Prahran) quite a lot, as well.

I do miss the record stores of yesterday, both for the music and staff but can't say I care much for the newer, hip stores that have sprung up all over Melbourne. They remind me of how much I miss the real record stores.

The outer suburban store you mentioned, could it have been Dixons? I do remember lots of rare goodies, both vinyl and cd, especially classic rock. I still go there occasionally. They had an excellent store at Camberwell, but that unfortunately closed down.

I think it was Licorice Pie Records. With a name that daft, who can forget it ! 

Camberwell rings a bell as well so quite possibly that other store was Dixons. I remember that they had a very nice copy of Elmo Hope’s ‘Sounds From Rikers Island’ but it was very pricey.

A wonderful treasure , purchased in the 70´s when I was just discovering that wonderful music done by Bird, Dizzy, Bud Powell......

The first half of the record is this three great "gennulmen of modern music" (sic: Symphony Sid). 

When Sid asks Bird what they´ll do first and Bird says "Blue´n Boogie", Symphony Sid makes the odd remark "you say you WILL! Wasn´t it made with Dexter some years ago ?".

That was typical jive talk of that period. 

Great also the  one track "Groovin´High" with the Milt Buckner Trio, probably the only time when Bird recorded with an organ trio.

And not to forget the nice set from 1953 Bird on plastic alto with John Lewis, Curley Russell and Kenny Clark plus Candido on the last tune "Broadway".

A wonderful journey into the past......

oops, I forgot to add that the outer suburbs store is in Blackburn - don't know if it matters, but just in case. And they're still in business.

Listening to this, I thought how much I love the trio combo, (bass, drums and reed), Rollins at the Village Vanguard at first, but countless others.

Even think about a thread on this kind of trio.

     Rollins,Sonny    A night at the Village Vanguard    1957    Blue Note    1581
     Rollins,Sonny    A night at the Village Vanguard Vol 3    1957    Blue Note    81581
CD    Rollins,Sonny    A Night At Village Vanguard Vol 1 + 2    1957    Blue Note

The singing sessions, the slow tempo songs are definitely something.

One day without a member spinning a record? Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

[Gheorghe]

Influenced by the thread About Bird (the Whitney Balliet article from 1976) , here is the second record of Bird I bought. The first was the Savoy double Album in White with that small  canvas picture in the middle.

The second record I found was this. A strange brown cover, and the Music is quite a Collection. An almost complete "Bird and Diz at Carnegie Hall 1947", a lot of sides from the later Dial Recordings Bird made in late 1947 in NY, some also adding J.J. Johnson on trombone to the regular quintet.

And the last three tracks is Maybe the latest live recording Bird ever made: Autumn 1954 , at Carnegie Hall with John Lewis, Percy Heath and Kenny Clark, playing "Cool Blues", "My Funny Valentine" (I never heard another Version of it done by Bird), and "The Song is You". Maybe Bird is not as brilliant on those sides as he was 7 years before, but they have an outright moving quality.

I could play the Danish Radio Big Band for you if that helps
