Looks interesting. Thanks.

Magnificent. As a teenager I felt drawn in by the sleeve art. The music was mystical too. I love this album!

John Coltrane - Live in Stockholm 1963

I managed to get my own copy of this, but I think it has a different version of Mr PC as it omits the head signature at the start.

John Mayall. The blues alone. I remember buying this incredible album when it came out. Surprised that it was released on budget label. John playing all instruments apart from bit of help from Keef. Sleeve notes by John Peel. One of my favourites and guessing this flew under the radar of many.

Swedish singer/songwriter - Sophie Zelmani, Sing and Dance from 2002 - post a reco from this thread - a new artiste for me.

Great voice and music with relatively simple arrangements - nothing introspective here. If female vocal is your thing, she’s worth looking up and has quite a catalogue…but the availability of CDs isn’t plentiful nor cheap it seems (go streamers!).
