Ah how annoying! That's happened to me a few times with Superfly. Their stuff just flies off the shelves once they send the email alert out.Someone else snagged the Charlie Parker while it was in my basket
(they did me a favour, I've overspent massively this month)

The fork. I usually give up after a couple of sentences.
I love love love the album.

I'm slightly nervous as they show as being shipped on the 22nd for me with no updates past "In transport to destination country". 5 days to get to the UK from Europe seems long, I'm just hoping its nothing to do with import fees with the new post-brexit world we now live in.

Yeah, I remember the last time it took a long time for the records to arrive for me, a bit further away than you, but it took ages, I actually sent them an email to see if they could look into it for me, Anyway hopefully they get here in good shape, that's all I ask .

Ha! In Norway now, it takes 2-3 weeks to clear customs with normal mail, it seems. So I'm pretty chilled about mine being sent on the 22nd currently (although I was hoping something from Estonia would clear quicker than my normal stuff from France).

It's been a great year to be a Mike Taylor fan. We have gone from having no 'new' music of his since 1967 to 2 albums of newly discovered material in the past few months. The first was the RSD Preperation on Sunbeam, a woefully underrated album that really was a highlight for me. That leads me to an hour ago when the latest from Jazz In Britain arrived. I have been streaming the album a lot recently and its fantastic, so to have it in a vinyl format is great.
PS. For those that want to take it a step further, there is a biography available titled 'Out Of Nowhere by Luca Ferrari'. Although the subject is fantastic I do feel like it's a bit of a basic exploration. A lot of the time I got the impression that the author came across as being too pushy during interviews (with some of the greatest British jazz musicians) and as a result a lot of the answers come across as being held back or snappy, ie "As I just said....". Still, its the only book on Taylor as far as I am aware (other than the comprehensive booklet included in Preperation) so worth reading anyway.

(Fwiw, this negativity has nothing to do w/ you posting this!! It’s more about how bummed it makes me that their excellent content is often ruined by crap quality)LITA is doing some limited jazz reissues as part of their 20th anniversary:

I’ve been a LitA customer since at least 2009, and they’ve reissued some seriously good music. Unfortunately, much of that great music also has been some of my worst, noisiest pressings (to name a few of the biggest disappointments among more than a dozen LitA releases in my collection, Szabo’s “Jazz Raga,” their original reissue of TL Barret‘s “Like a Ship,” and my copy of the compilation “I am the Center — New Age in The US“ is an outright, unlistenable disaster).
There was a time when their premium prices made arguable sense when vinyl reissue labels were more scarce, but now I don’t see it given bad qc and how little info they provide on sources material, lacquer, pressing plants, etc.
I know most/all of these will sell out relatively quickly bc that’s just how LitA releases roll, but, if I was in the market for Szabo’s “Dreams,” I’d much prefer to pay an extra premium for a known quantity like VMP’s reissue than LitA’s lower but still premium price for something that has potential to have legit issues.

it means it's $7 more than the other copies!
but i think it's actually that somebody adds the color pellets in by hand to control the color a bit more.
