Dear Mike and Steve,
Nothing hilarious about those George Lewis 'Oxfords'.
I bought three of them from our Oz Jazzology distributer, Peter Cowden 
(a mate) and was so disappointed with the audience response - and the 
selection of tunes, I decided to sell them.
Peter runs a jazz record mail order and secondhand record business, so 
I gave the "Oxfords' to him to sell for me just before we went on 
holiday.
When I got back, Peter told me he had had no trouble at all in selling 
"those George Lewis' Mosaics".
Yep. In my haste I had given him the wrong CD set!
A quick letter to Mosaic and I bought another set - just before the 
limited edition ran out.
Phew. That was close.
I still have the 3 Oxfords.

Kind regards,
Bill.
