What's Spinning

The Tubby Hayes Orchestra - The Orchestra (Fontana, 2019 Box Set Pressing)
Peggy Lee – Black Coffee (Ace Of Hearts/Decca, 1961 UK Mono Pressing)

2 very different albums but both enjoyable in their own way. Funnily enough though I'm not particularly drawn to either regularly and have to be in the right mood for it. The Tubby Hayes was his final release before his early death and it's just a sell-out session, covers of pop songs that the jazz world shunned. The Peggy Lee was a carboot find last year (only cost a quid) and there are a couple of really nice tracks on here, despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of vocal jazz.

I absolutely didn't need another copy of this album (5th copy don't ask)...but an easier way to play a great album is always nice.

I was expecting a repress of Bellman's cut from the box set - same cuts just not all on single sided LP's would be fine. But it looks to me he re-cut it again, as even his etchings are a little different than what he etched in the box set runouts (not really his "CB", but how he etched the cat # and sides). So it's not a complete copy of the box set - and it does sound really good.
