Tony Oxley Quintet - The Baptised Traveller (CBS, 1969 First Pressing)
Blind Lemon Jefferson – The Folk Blues Of Blind Lemon Jefferson (Riverside Records/London Records, 1954 First UK 10" Pressing)
2 very good, and very different albums to start the day.
A little bit of crackle here and there, that maybe another wash will help lessen. But given the style it doesn't really interfere and the vocals sound incredible. I sold my deluxe edition last year and this satisfies me.
Stan Tracey - Jazz Suite: Inspired By Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood (STEAM, 1976 First Signed Pressing)
Howard Riley Trio - Angle (CBS, 1969 First Japanese Promo Pressing)
A couple of British jazz pianists. I prefer the Stan Tracey album without the narration but picked this one up cheap a while ago because it was signed by the group. The Howard Riley is more 'out there' and is interesting as its a Japanese promo pressing, but there seems to be no evidence that it was commercially issued in Japan.
