I don’t visit Birmingham often, but when I do, I always drop into The Vault. Usually I have adult supervision in there but now she has become my accomplice running around with a list of CD’s to find for me. Mwahaha! 
The haul from this visit:

If you like sax, you should track down the ‘Officium’ LP issued by ECM, in which saxophonist Jan Garbarek improvises his music while the Hilliard Ensemble sing mediæval plainchant. Remarkable record.

The local record/CD fair was in town so off I went.
I had to pay Mrs. G’s tax on them i.e. she claims some as her own. Then she gave me a pitying look and went to another room. I’m never sure whether she approves or not.

Paco de Lucia was such a great flamenco guitarist. I have a few of those five CDs on LP, so I couldn’t justify the purchase. I can’t see whether his recording of the famous Rodrigo Concert di Aranjuez is on one of those CDs, but that is a very special recording and performance, and well worth seeking out.
No it isn’t but like you said, a great album, especially the adagio.
A couple of early Wailers bargains from Discogs…
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Wail 'n Soul’m Singles Selecta (Universal CD 2005)
Following the Wailers tenure at Studio One, Bob Peter, Bunny and Rita briefly started their own label Wail 'n Soul’m to record and release their own self produced material.
This compilation rounds up the first ten of those singles A & B sides recorded around '66 to '68.
Along with the material recorded a little later with Lee Scratch Perry these are the original and best versions of songs that Bob would go on to re-record for the Island label albums.
Soul Revolutionaries - The Early Jamaican Albums (Trojan 2005)
Pretty much mint condition box set of the original Wailers Lee Scratch Perry produced albums, nice repro card sleeves of the original Trojan albums and the added bonus of the Leslie Kong produced Best Of The Wailers album, this is a superb album often overlooked when considering the Wailers early recordings. It also has a spooky history, Bunny Wailer was upset at Leslie Kong releasing this under the title Best Of reasoning that the best was surely yet to come, suitably irked Bunny cursed Leslie Kong (Obeah, simikar to Haitian Voodoo is taken very seriously in Ja) who within the year suddenly and unexpectedly dropped dead, officially from a heart attack.

Fat Albert’s Bag
Radio broadcast from 1983.
Sound is good. Performance is…Pharoah, which is to say, spellbinding.

Swop (with a circle over the O).
Folky fiddle music, calming.
My only problem is that CDs are so cheap at the moment I am buying faster than I can listen and so my older favourites are feeling neglected.
