Bill Evans - You Must Believe In Spring, Craft (2021)
Bill Evan’s 1977 studio LP cut by KG at Cohearant and pressed at RTI it is cut at 45rpm and so spread over four sides but it sounds incredible and the very small inconvenience of getting up a little more often to change sides is more than worth it.
A real must have in my opinion.

Nova - ‘Vimana’ (1976). Received yesterday, bought second hand online. This is part of my investigation into Brand X related material I hadn’t heard of until recently. Nova were a prog jazz fusion band from Italy. This album includes contributions from Phil Collins and Percy Jones (Brand X) and Narada Michael Walden (Mahavishnu). Classy stuff. Not listened to it all yet but already heard Percy on the bass, very distinctive, takes me right back to early Brand X!
Yes, got it last week, beautiful record.

New stuff from the 3 guitarreros, very nice pressing and the SQ is a 4/5, nice record for a reasonable 25 Euros.

Have this one myself - enjoy!
How does it compare to the Friday night? Is it the same set list?

It is a completely different setlist. 
I don‘t own a comparable vinyl of the Friday Night. The pressing is excellent regarding the fact that it is from Optimal. Far better than e.g. the Abbey Road Police best of.

People know Ginger Baker for the comparatively brief, comparatively disciplined and commercially successful period from 1966-69, but he played great drums on a lot of music after that.
This is Ginger, plus Fela Kuti and Bobby Tench in Ginger’s Nigerian studio in 1972. Disciplined it’s not, but this was afrobeat before 99.9% had heard of it and they are clearly having a ball.

Whats your view, I have Friday of course, do I need Saturday?
I’ll let you know when it arrives (tomorrow), but I’m a big fan of John, so I’m not sure I can give an impartial view…
