@MrDom , sorry for delay in replying. I’m very pleased with the quality of my JC Ballads LP.

I heard this turgid reworking of Duke and Bill’s Nutcracker on Radio 3 record review. ![IMG_2030](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/4X/0/5/3/053746177d484f9932d2021bee3bd743c44cd17b.jpeg) I am not sure what the point of the recording was unless to lead us to.. ![IMG_2031](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/9/f/e9fca4c7b26a345312e714945ffc580f9fc7a708.jpeg) An early festive treat. Twinkly,sparkly and it swings. Sam was obviously given the job of chopping down the tree with those ferocious rim shots. Beautiful. Both on Qobuz. ---
