[Veltliner]

The voices told me to buy these two records.

@WolF

it’s five and twenty to twelve

Blimey……haven’t heard that since my grandparents were alive.

My Mum used to say it all the time and I can remember also going around my mates house in the late 60s/70s and his parents always used to say as you were going out the door, Mind the horse and carts. I distinctly remember they always seemed to have bread and butter pudding in the kitchen made of unpasteurised milk. I still remember delivering there milk, long bottles in the middle of winter working on a milk round before going to school. Winter was ok but the summer could get a bit on the nose when the bottles were not washed out. (Yogurt gone very wrong). 3d bit on the window sill, may also still mean something to some people.

We met a lovely couple from The Orkney Islands probably 25/30 years ago we where staying at the same bungalows on Koh Phangan and they would say it’s 'the back of ’ and then the hour which meant it was any time after the hour but before half past so ‘the back of three’.

Andrew Hill - Grass Roots, BN/Tone Poet (2025)

Love this record Lee Morgan and Booker Ervin are great together not sure why I didn’t buy it on release but Amazon UK have it for £26 with free post if you have Prime.

Hi Bob, it sounds very fast, punchy, and dynamic. It’s the first time I have heard this album. The only other album I have of theirs is Conscience, which is a little more laid back than this one. This one is a silver-colored LP—I tend to find the colored LPs a little more edgy than the normal black ones, which I tend to prefer. I think this album is a worthy investment in music, as it has some great songs.

I bought this 1980 Japanese pressing of the three nights of Art Pepper at the village vanguard a while ago and now listening again.

So fantastic the sound. “Labyrinth” on side four is my favorite. Sounds so much better on vinyl then streaming. In the streaming recording of Qobuz the Sax of Pepper sounds a bit recessed. On the vinyl it it is right there and very emotional.

[Bobthebuilder]

I have exactly the same set excellent release by King Records.

[Emrah]

This release is out of production, I assume? Only available on the used market?

[Bobthebuilder]

Yes this Box Set was released in 1980 and hasn’t ever been repressed there are single LP releases Thursday, Friday and Saturday Night but again they haven’t been repressed or reissued on vinyl since the 1980’s.

[Emrah]

I should probably be really careful with it . Looks like the separate releases are also not in production any more. I guess soundwise they would be like the box set.

[Dynaudio1]

Just pre-ordered the fine Kenny Dorham ‘Cafe Bohemia’ 3LP Tone Poet. With J R (not JR) Monterose.

[Fatcat]

[Angelinterceptor]

Got this from my local record shop in Billingham for £20 not a rare copy but a very very good copy plays like new still incredible what they produced with the equipment they had back then great album

Help (2) in aid of the War Child charity

I bought the first Help/War Child release in 1995 and felt like I should also buy this to support a worthy cause. Some good stuff on here too (Beth Gibbons doing the Velvet Underground, Beabadoobee doing Elliott Smith, Fontaines DC doing Sinead)
