Thanks for posting this, I hadn’t picked up on it before - just listened to it today and it’s wonderful. Perfect for Sunday evenings with a nice malt.

This is the first release on a brand new label called New Land - a reissue of a classic 1963 Mulligan album called Night Lights. It’s mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at Pallas, and it looks to be a quality product. I know the guys behind this have been working on it for ages but they’ve had awful problems and delays getting the thing pressed. But it’s due out imminently now, and I wish them luck.

£45 !!!
I have that one. Unfortunately my record has some surface noise. Good album, not quite the same without Maxi Jazz but nice listen anyhow.

Thanks Kev I had looked at this on PRE Order but couldn’t find any info on the pressing so have now ordered a copy not shipping until December 10th though.

This was going very cheap (£4) via a third party seller on Bezes’ Bazaar, so I thought I’d take a punt. Less than the price of a pint in London!

The DuPre recording of the Cello Concerto is exceptional, and may never be matched, but Janet Baker’s recording of Sea Pictures is wonderful too. I mention this, because a friend had the equivalent CD and had never thought to listen to Sea Pictures at all. And ‘Glorious John’ conducting as well.
If the Cello Concerto floats your boat, you may want to try to find DuPre’s later recording of the work under the direction of her husband Daniel Barenboim, which I seem to recall is available from CBS/Sony.

Katanga! I’ve had this unusual Tone Poet release for a little while sat in one of the old magnum wine cases that serves to hold new LPs either awaiting play or on current rotation. This evening I decided to investigate and It has been a most wonderful surprise - what a great album and it sounds fabulous too in this cut from the analogue tapes by Kevin Gray and pressing by RTI. As the insert notes from Thomas Conrad say “Katanga! Is one of those extraordinary works of art for which nothing prepares us.” If you love jazz then this one comes with the strongest recommendation - get a copy while you still can!
