Yes Marek, I agree with you, the Heidelberg LP has long been one of my 
favourites.

It also gives me the opportunity to make a comment I wanted to make 
during the recent Ken Colyer thread but didn't get around to.  It comes 
from a piano playing friend and colleague - he was quoting someone, I 
can't remember who, when he said that you have to have a very good 
drummer for it to be better than having no drummer at all. For me the 
Heidelberg LP bears this out - I can't think of any drummer who would 
add a single thing to it.
