Ken,
Virgin Records might have the record but they are retailers and may have done
a direct deal with the record company. This does not help me as it is not
available through normal trade sources as far as I can ascertain. I did visit the
website and didn't find the two audio samples available anything at all to
shout about. Very ordinary indeed and I have heard Dippermouth Blues played
better than that many many many times! Never was keen on the squealing trumpet of
Maynard Ferguson.
If the CD is offered by any of the major or specialist distributors then I
might stock it, otherwise I will let people get ripped off by Virgin's very high
prices. (I even got the salesman in our local Virgin store to agree that to
charge £17.99 for Properboxes was a rip off! - Jazz 'n' Blues price is £15.25!)
Cheers,
Jerry,
Norwich
