Very nice gesture of the compiler, downloaded it last week but haven't got around listening to it yet.





The first two volumes are some of the best jazz comps I ever heard. British 60's jazz is solid (and rare).''

Interesting story about it on that link. I know a few people at UCJ, so I'll have to see if I can find out why they pulled it.

Gah! Loved the first two. Power to the people for getting this out there.





Can a bravvvah ook a mavvah fakkkah ap wiv a link pon di peee-emm?
 
I'm uploading it now. Give me a few more minutes.





EDIT: It's taking ages to upload, so please be patient.





Also, my contact at UCJ said; I'm surprised they were even bothering with a third volume, as the first two made NO money. Riddled with problems, too - lots of obscure labels, really difficult to license - sold about 10 copies to nice people, rest of the world just ignored it...

Like Brit Jazz.

Sad but true. But it would be nice to think that labels could put something out for the love of it once in a while rather than just to make money...

To be fair, Universal (or Polygram, as it was at the time) did do quite a bit of that back when the late, great Richard Cook was heading the jazz department. In fact, it could be argued that the work he did founding the Redial reissue label, and the stuff they put out by the likes of Tubby Hayes and Joe Harriott, was what created the momentum for the Impressed series to begin with.





They don't call it the music business for nothing, though.





EDIT: My connection is reeeaaaaaaallllllyyyyy ssssssllllllllloooooooowwwww today, so I'm going to try to re-up this later.
 
edit: downloading now. will try to upload for others

Those first two volumes were killer.





CD for vol 2 became fiended over at one point IIRC. Sold for solid loot upon the bay.

The vast majority of releases any label puts out will be complete, non-money-making failures. Not releasing an album that a label expects to lose money isn't being selfish.
 
Useless fact of the day for Friday....





Those fingerprints belong to Tony Higgins, and not G.P.





Not at lot a people know that....hahaha
 
I hope he has identity theft cover.





Speaking of GP, do boutique diggeurs get dusty fingers?

Only if they don't clean their computer keyboards very often, too much online buying. Though this does mean you don't wear out your shoes as quickly I suppose...LOL!
