Checked out a surplus clearout sale at a local used record shop last Friday and returned home with approx. 110 Jazz LP's, everything priced between 1 euro and 2.50 euros!

Mostly 30s/40s Swing and Swing-related 50s/early 60s Mainstream plus a bit of 20s classic Jazz and some Bebop items - lots of 70s collector reissues on long-OOP U.S. and European labels, some of the "Complete Duke Ellington" LPS series on RCA that was discussed here a while ago, but also some originals and 50s pressings such as a 10in Buddy De Franco on MGM, Benny Goodman's "Mostly Sextets" on Capitol and a few others.

At that price almost anything that suits your Jazz tastes is a nugget so I am not complaining at all ...

last record added is : Paul Gonsalves Gettin Together on jazzland original mono. I'm ripped off this month, and only buy cheap records, no big pieces.

And yes, I've got a major case of the blues right now, which is approaching 95% of my listening, and will probably comprise 100% of my Christmas music list outside of my traditional Mosaic request.
