I bought it when it was last available in Japan, in February 2015.  It didn't make much of an impression on me.  Bland and inoffensive.

You have the choice to have them shipped within one installment, means they will keep your CD`s until the later one`s are released .... makes sense economically ....

That's how I also found it in years past.  Much shorter tunes and much less fire and chance-taking than their Steeplechase and Muse albums.  Direct to Disc recording seems to bring that out in musicians.

Thank you felser for the link. The Tubby Hayes - Down in the Village cd will make its way Down Under soon

Yes, I agree.  Any risk taken that doesn't work out means the entire LP side needs to be re-performed.  D-to-D also means short LP sides.  More for the audiophile market, I guess.
