My cheapest new purchase ever! £3 at Fopp. And why have we heard so little of Ted Brown?

I got mine at 4.99€ which also seems to be a great deal!

Fopp is great for £3 to £5 specials. Really miss the Bath store, where you could pick up much of the Blue Note/Capitol catalogue and CBS/Sony stuff for £5. Got some truly great deals there. At least the Bristol store up by the University is still operating and doing the £3 deals. Not quite as accessible for me though.

I haven't bothered with Fopp in Manchester recently - not since they were "HMV-ised". HMV's promise of allowing them to trade as before seems to have crumbled and the jazz stock has now been reduced to the pathetic collection you can find in their owner's store up the road.

A steal at about $10 for the pair, methinks.

The prices are much better though! At the FOPP in Covent Garden I picked up 'Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia' for 10 pounds and Sonny Rollins 'Road Shows Vol. 1' for 3 pounds.

OK. Point taken!

Ah - the FOPP Covent Garden. That's the one on Shaftesbury Avenue isn't it? Picked up a copy of the ECM tome by Steve Lake there only last week for £10. Reduced from £45.

I really stretched my budget this month, so hopefully this is the last MUST have for this month :-)

[BillF]

Thanks for the idea, Bev!

Thank you, Bill!

It was your posting of the 'Only the Blues' album (on as I type) that sent me in search to Fresh Sound.

I know some feel listing albums listened to is pointless but I find it an endless source of interest, alerting me to things I'd otherwise miss.

[slide_advantage_redoux]

Picked up what looks to be a very cool LP at a local goodwill type store for a dollar.

Kansas City Suite

Count Basie and his Orchestra

The music of Benny Carter

A few purchases at Swanage:

A couple of OOP Mosaics:

I passed the Quebec/Hardee up a couple months ago for $20. I don't think I'll ever stop kicking myself for that. Stupid, stupid.

Cannonball Adderley Quintet In New York

Astonishingly enough the Chicago Public Library has multiple sets of this (someone in the music collection was obviously an early supporter of Mosaic), and between them, I was able to find clean sides to listen to (yes, I gave them back).

I'm pretty sure they had the Ike Quebec 45s on LP as well, and I checked them out, but I don't see these any longer in the catalog. Either the catalog is wrong, the library de-accessioned them after getting the CDs for the reference music collection or someone couldn't resist temptation. All reasonably likely.
