Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. Charlie Parker
Good Morning,
as usual there are lots of additions to the website this week. As we add each title and all the information about each title manually it’s a very time consuming exercise, but it does mean that the data is accurate. In this modern world of misinformation and alternate “facts” you can rely on our little corner of the web to be as accurate as humanly possible. No AI junk, no data dumps allowed.
One of the things to bear in mind these days is the fact that some titles will come and go in a short space of time. The Cecil Taylor title below is a case in point. It was released about 6 months ago and is already out of print. The label has no plans to reissue it so if you want a copy be quick. Once we sell out that’s it.
Mail Order: All orders received BEFORE 2pm weekdays get posted the same day. Orders received over the weekend are posted around 2pm on Monday for delivery the next day or so.
Happy listening.
