Rafael Ravenscroft was asked to play the saxophone on the album City to City (1978). His contribution included the sax riff on the best-known song from the album and of Rafferty's career, "Baker Street". The song was an international hit, charting at number 3 in the UK and number 2 in the US. "Baker Street" was reported in 2010 as having received 5 million air plays worldwide to date. City to City reached number 1 in the US album charts and went platinum. In the UK the album reached number 6 and went gold.

Ravenscroft told the BBC's The One Show in 2010 that he was only paid £27.50 for the "Baker Street" session, which was the Musicians' Union rate at the time.[7] It has been (falsely)[8] reported that the cheque bounced and that it was kept on the wall of Ravenscroft's solicitors; in contrast, the song is said to have earned Rafferty £80,000 a year in royalties.[9]

Ian Carr - Belladonna (Vertigo, 1972 First Pressing)

This is an album that I was hunting down for a while until I finally got this copy. Its a stunning album that really highlights trumpeter Ian Carr's fantastic playing.

Nucleus - Alleycat (Vertigo, 1975 First Pressing)

The final album in Nucleus' Vertigo run. After this point they tended to put a heavier emphasis on rock for my liking, but still good stuff.

Weird morning jumping from Jason Isbell to Beastie Boys to Dungen. But they're all jams!
