Tina Brooks Blue Note, LPs 1 and 2. As Richard Williams' blog reminds me, released this Mosaic released just 30 years ago !

Gee, thanks for the reminder. 30 years ago. Man! The Brooks was the first Mosaic I ever purchased.

Yep, they were already nearly 20 years old by the time I finally picked this up. Mosaic wasn't even on my radar at the time this set was issued - quite obscure and difficult to get hold of in the UK in the pre-internet days. Not to mention very expensive !

Don't remember ever seeing any Mosaics for sale in Canada either, which is sort of suprising - although having said that I rarely saw any old Blue Notes there either.

I've started listening to the Sidney Bechet BN set on LP I recently picked up on Ebay.  I thought the LP length was nicely suited to the music - 6 tracks on a side was just perfect (though I had to get up to turn the disc over).  Great music, nice sound.  I had most of this material on other releases, but this allowed me to appreciate the music anew.
