@Bobthebuilder This has finally arrived. It has a little dent on the top left corner, but it’s come all the way from Alabama so maybe it’s not surprising. With postage, it wasn’t cheap, but these seem to be very hard to find now. It’s a lovely album indeed, and completes the set of four. There was of course a fifth in the box set, but I can live without that one.

It’s not up to Tone Poet or Acoustic Sounds standards but for what is a ‘ Lost Recording’ it’s very good.

Yes indeed that fifth record unfortunately it’s only available with the box set perhaps I’ll a find a loose one one day but until then I won’t loose any sleep together the other four do make a lovely set.
Yes, there are some excellent facsimile adverts, photos and other stuff. And, as you say, some amazing drumming.

That’s good to hear. I contacted them in early December and after a two week wait for a reply (!) they said they were expecting to ship before the end of December (I took that remark with a pinch of salt given it was the holidays).
So, the fact they have them in the store now, definitely counts as progress; I’ll keep an eye out for the shipping email.
Cheers,
Ian
Hi Ian,
Yes hopefully we should all here something soon. If I ever get a shipping notification I will post on here to let people know.

Just arrived. Good clean pressing except for a very very minor warping which I can just about live with. Time for a spin!

A £35 lot from the second hand shop.
All the covers are good to excellent, the vinyl ranges from mint to visually scuffed.
Presently working my way though them on the RCM.

An impulse buy… Not as good as “Modern Times” with some extremely “worthy” lyrics.
Track 1 side 1 has a minor jump, whereby 1 line of lyrics is skipped over, but after running it through the RCM it is a pretty quiet copy with good production/sound quality.

That Dicky Wells looks interesting.
How was your replacement copt of Nina Simone? I’ve sent mine back and ordered another from a different source, fingers crossed again!

That’s exactly what i thought 
It only cost 50p
The outer cover is a state for sore eyes but the vinyl looks merely very grubby but may clean up okay with some scrubbing, only very light scuffs.
I’m hopeful, it’s next up on the RCM…
Nina Simone replacement is perfect, really pleased with the album too

That’s good to hear, I enjoyed the one side that I could play, hope my replacement works out. There are quite a lot of negatives about the pressing on Discogs which surprises me as its pressed by RTI
Anyway, enjoy your scrubbing
