Merry Christmas and Happy New Year George. If that Dusty album has just been remastered I need to check into that, stunning album. Believe it or not I have not bought Birth of the Blue, I should probably get around to that

Wow, that's a great stack of records. I had not heard of Joe Harriott and John Mayer before - sounds really interesting. Spacewalk looks great too - fantastic cover, as you mentioned. It's interesting: I think you said that you prefer original tunes for jazz albums. I think I prefer to hear new interpretations of standards. Maybe you prefer a 75/25 percentage weighted towards new music, while I would prefer standards. lol Doesn't matter of course. Thanks for showing the records George!

The first Indo Jazz Suite LP was recently reissued by a label called Audio Clarity which I believe is basically a Russian bootleg label. I picked up a copy. I'm no audiophile, but it sounds decent to my ears for the price I paid which I believe was under 20 bucks. I had never heard it before and decided to take the gamble. It's very enjoyable music. Nice mix of Indian music and Jazz without coming off hokey or gimmicky.

Thank you

Bill Frisell's such a wonderful player. The tone from that Tele he gets these days is something else...

Hi George. Sweet Stan Tracey pick-up, I rarely see his records about the place. I used to see his son Clark live quite a bit back in the day on the Yorkshire jazz scene - just looked him up and it turns out he's written a book about his Dad (came out in 2017). Liking the British slant here, must check some of these out, really like what I've heard of Don Rendell. 👍

Hello there George. Nice to see you again. I appreciate your take on Getting Around. I hesitated on buying it because of the reviews. Not that it is a bad album at all. But I think I have enough with "Go", "One Flight Up", "Doin' Allright" and "Our Man in Paris". That is all that I need at the moment. <> Definitely checking out the Andrew Hill. Another one of my faves. Thanks George. You set the jazz bar way high again~ Rob/Boston

Very nice George, I am just recently exploring those UK artists, cool to see those you picked up. And the prices seemed very good!

Hey George, only watched part of video so far (will finish later.) Really good records there! I’ll definitely order the Rendell LP….really like his music. The Joe Harriot one sounds like something I would like also (listened to some of his music but couldn’t find this one on Apple Music.) but I really liked what I heard. Have a nice warm day!

Cracking haul once again George! Spacewalk and Wahoo will be on my list now. Cheers

Pretty sure they’ve done a couple of runs of the Gearbox British jazz either that or a staggered release of one run. Hoping they find a few more as I’m missing one or two. Also I would recommend the British jazz compilation, my copy gets regular airtime.

Thanks for your helpful reviews. I would be interested to know where you got the Charlie Parker box set from.

Nice tunes in the background, good commentary on the LPs. It's all anyone needs! Concert Overdoingit, take notice.

That set looks pretty cool, thanks for showing us. But that blank album side is weird. It kind of makes you feel like you got cheated a little bit. But It's still a great box.

George, I just got in that new Miles Davis box set of his bootleg recording 63-64. Have not had a chance to play it. Parker would be a great listen. You look cold my friend

How's the sound quality for Lee Morgan boxset?

That Truly Madly Deep-Lee set looks amazing George. Now did you say that it was never before released on vinyl? I have heard Sonic Boom and it is a superb album. One of Lee's best in my humble opinion. You never disappoint G~ Rob/Boston

how did you get the Lee Morgan ??? did you have to pay inport duties?????

Both boxes look great. Tons of wonderful music. I agree about the blank album side 4 - seems like Blue Note could have commissioned a couple songs for that side. Seems like they could have stuck some art on the cover of that 10" too. oh well... Sweet Honey Bee! One of my favorite jazz instrumentals - I've never understood why it hasn't become sort of a "jazz standard' that lots of people play. Looks like your video got cut off before you got to that part. Thanks for showing the records!

I found a Don Pullen Jazz album last year,it was only 2 dollars American.And my ignorance I didn’t know how RARE it was,and I put it back on the shelf. It was only about 10,000 dollars.In pounds it’s worth about 7,700 roughly?

Evening George. I really like Ron Sexsmith but have never got round to buying his records. First heard about him via Elvis Costello in the pages of Mojo. Nice jazz pick-ups as always, I'll stream the Joe Harriott one. Saw Sam Rivers back in the day, he was already pretty old but he was cooking still. Btw, Timbales is pronounced Tim-bah-lay, and 'oud' is pronounced 'ood'. though not sure how either of those will come out in Scottish. 😆

I’m still trying to spend all my VMP credit. It’s stupid how long these box sets are taking. Will you ever get it? Just got our first big snow storm of the year George , not enjoying it but it will melt fast. Thanks for the review on the new British jazz albums, jazz is strong in the UK

The Sonny Rollins LP was released years before in 1967. The copy you swapped may have been a 1974 reissue. I have an original and also the recent copy you showed. I have to say I think the original sounds better to me!

Jackie McLean!

I do have one Dorthy Ashby album, I do struggle with the jazz harp, I just find it more classical. That new Tone Poet, Booker Little is new tome. I have never heard of him. I need to research that album. Good to see you George. I still have not swung a golf club this year, courses are always filled. They do keep the, open during the winter

Beautiful pressing of Isaiah Collier's "Parallel Universe" on Night Dreamer. There is a Wayne Shorter album with the same title of the record label. Not familiar with the Tyner album. He had so many. I would say that you did well George. Fine assortment of genres and artists~ Rob/Boston

Courtney Pine is amazing. Have a couple of his albums

That Isaiah Collier album looks interesting....vocal jazz but he is not the singer. Booker Little record looks good - I have an album called The Book Cooks - Tommy Flanagan is the piano player on that one too. Seems like it would have been better if he had stuck with one label. Thanks for showing the records George!

Lovely stuff George. Never really listened to Courtney Pine though I remember him turning.up in Dr Who in 1989. Is Gary Crosby on that record? I saw him live back in the day and he was fab. Think he started out with Pine but might be wrong about that. Good news about the Davey releases on Cherry Red. I have a record by him bought in Oxfam.

All the fun of the fair. I saw Ian Carr giving a talk on Miles Davis at the Kendal Jazz Festival back in 2001, really interesting guy. I picked up his Miles biography from Oxfam a while back (huge book) but haven't got to it yet. Chris Spedding gets everywhere. There's an 80's Wayne Shorter album lurking down at my local traders at the moment, might even be 'Atlantis' - will have to check this weekend to see if it's still there. Been streaming a bit of Pat Metheny recently, never really listened to him before. I thought the background music was Caribbean drums. Good showings as ever George.

Consider picking up the two-disk Cecil Taylor reissue "In Transition" on Blue Note. I think you'll be surprised and pleased.

Wow, that was a lot of music but who am I to say anything lol. I plan to leave VMP once I spend my credit. I think I will get tat Tyner alum

Hi G. Love the clip of Dorothy Ashby at 17:00 or so. Seems fresh .might look out for that ...funky harp sounds! Good to see you can get some of the older stuff easily from your local shop.

Great stuff as always George! - Mike

Showing us the records does not make any sense. You should play them instead.

Cant even describe how mindblowing this album is, tune in 5 reprise is my favorite track from this. gingerbread boy in 1966, and you wont find a better version of straight no chaser or au leu cha. Ive listened to this entire album ( on apple music) from beginning to end on multiple occasions when i was delivering all day for amazon. best days of my life. miles in concert at the philharmonic 1973 i think is one of my favorite electric miles era albums.

Great review; thanks.

George those are just so tempting in vinyl. I just don’t understand why they are pushing them out so fast. What not space them out? I get Xmas is coming and it becomes box set season but one or two a year would sell more I would think.

Thanks, interesting but I just can't get excited or interested in box sets

Alan the Chemist brought me here

Like the new specs btw.

Great stuff George. I've been getting my jazz head back on so have been listening to Miles again. The only two Doors albums I really like are the first one and LA Woman. Got a nice Rhino reissue from a few years ago.

Hiya George, ive yet to break into the world of UHQR's. The boxes put me off. Ill check out your haul when i get a mo, cheers as always!

The Tubby Hayes Box is one of the treasures of my collection. Worth every penny 👍

I've had the same problem with the hole being too small for the spindle. That is absurd. Recently I have changed my thinking on that - I think the hole is big enough but sometimes the label on one side or the other is not perfectly centered and so a piece of the label is blocking the hole. Just a thought. It's probably a mix of the two issues. Should never happen. L.A. Woman looks awesome. Miles Ahead - my favorite of the orchestrated Miles records. Except for maybe the soundtrack for the French film (Elevator...). Rendell/Carr record looks great - same for Wayne Shorter and....well, the whole stack looks awesome. I'd like to hear Thembi - I'm a big Karma fan. Thanks for showing the records!

George, I have never seen that green colored Miles album, that has me intrigued. You mentioned this is from an audiophile series? That one really caught my attention.

Nice pickups George. That copy of Miles Ahead looks beautiful -- Mike

Andrew Hill is one of the greatests.

Hi George, great video as always. Do order you direct from AP? If so do theshipping company charge the taxes to UK as they don’t seem to add at source from AP.

George, you have been awful busy purchasing a ton of great music my friend! Great stuff and I have added several to my want list.
