N&G Secret Santa - 21

Glad they got there OK. Hope you enjoy them all. I felt like you had a lot of jazz but didn't spy any from the modern London scene. This also doubles as an album from Africa, another of my loves. I was v worried about the Sharon Jones as you seemed to have everything else by her, but this is absolutely one of my go-to Christmas albums. And finally I was at the Dan Penn-Spooner Oldham concerts (bizarrely enough they were supporting Nick Lowe, not headlining). They're the nicest guys and have written some of the greatest soul songs ever. Happy spinning, and Merry Christmas!

Yep, they arrived with no issues. Thanks again for the thoughtful batch of records, Merry Christmas!

I went shopping for my Santee today, I should get the package mailed by mid-week at the latest.

Aaaand... it's on it's way, Santee. Expected delivery next Monday.
 
To my secret Santa: my wife said your shipment arrived safely and she wrapped it before I got home today and it’s now under the tree. Apparently that’s how it will go this year. I promise I will take a picture once it’s opened on Christmas morning!
 
For those shipping to/from the Pacific NW, I've noticed a general slow down of packages going in and out of the Seattle hub. Usually I don't have packages sit there, but I've had a few incoming and one outgoing hang up for a couple of days.

One incoming package got hung up coming out of Seattle, visited the next town over, when back up to Portland and now back down to Salem.

So the holiday shipping excitement has begun.

Did one of you wonderful people send me a record despite me missing out on the list for secret Santa?

Just finished spinning it! It’s so good. The vocal performance is so polished for live, you’d almost think it had to be in studio if it wasn’t for the occasional crowd noise. I’m really impressed.

I’d been meaning to buy some Curtis for ages but had never got around to it, this has given me a push for sure, gotta figure out the best presses for his stuff now…

I didn't realize that was your first Curtis to boot. Extra well-played @scotthilk & @marshall!
 
Dear Santee,

One of the items I ordered for you was listed as a pre-order when I ordered it within a couple of hours of its proper release date. Over a week later, said seller still has it listed as a pre-order! 😳 I am still holding out hope they get their stock sooner than later, but you may wind up with a belated gift as well!

Santa Grec.
 
A completely unexpected package showed up in the mail from Mr. Bongo this morning! My Santa's gift! An amazing bundle of Japanese Jazz records with a nice note about why they chose these records.

So freakin' excited to spin these!! My Santa mentioned Paris and, of course, J-Jazz so I'm going to guess it was @Skalap ????

I hope I'm not wrong! Thank so you much!!!
