How did you find out what was going to be released and when, back then. Did you have to rely on relationships with record store owners?

And yes, Grant would have been great on CTI. Especially early. I read that because CTI didn't have the funds at first for the big productions, they recorded their initial signings in traditional settings, so we got Benson's Beyond The Blue Horizon and Stanley Turrentine's Sugar etc. Two of the great LP's of their careers.

God, did early digital recordings sound like shit.

Not that this is particularly good music, but still...

Never thought I'd see Patsy Kensit on this board ! She was fit back then though.. :excited:

If I remember right, this film co-incided with an absolute flood of French DMM Blue Notes, so that we all thought we'd gone to heaven.

Yes. In '69 and early '70 I worked in a record shop - so that was easy. Later, I developed relationships with shop owners. The ones who'd let me know what was going down were the people who ran the best shops anyway.

It was a matter of some difficulty when my wife started giving birth in the middle of the night before Grant Green's 'Shades of Green' was coming out. But, despite no sleep, I made it to the shop :bwallace:

Recorded at United Sound in Detroit, arranged by David Van De Pitte, with Earl Van Dyke on piano for good measure.

I got to meet Denise LaSalle once in a social setting. Her personality on record and in-person were pretty much one and the same. She's lively!

You won't approve of this Sidewinder, but in a programme of progressive replacement, I've ended up with a CD that looks like this:
