Jazzy D's Soul Notes

As everybody seems to be doing random posts for Random Post Day i shall stick my tuppence worth here.

First, as i have just looked, still no movement of this payment from the "ok to pay" page into the pay statement page despite the company's  assurances which i do not trust any more. Another phone call required tomorrow.

Walked into Sittingbourne, spent an hour in the Office, caught train to Faversham and sold sold books, got chorizo salad for dinner at 7 pm this evening.

And from Nov 24., 2005 (gosh, has it been nine years here) a post about a visit to Guildford -

Guildford Finds And Ray The Man

Whilst doing a survey in Guildford i did a bit of browsing for records or CD's in charity shops and elsewhere.
In a branch of Oxfam I found the "Death Wish" soundtrack from Herbie Hancock (Columbia LP 1974) for £3 and "The Essential Ray Charles - The Best of The Early Years" (Music Club double CD) for £2.

These tracks are from 1949 - 1952 on small labels such as Down Beat and Swing Time before joining Atlantic for his most successful and obviously more famous sides but these 36 tracks here give a good indication of his emerging style from a Nat King Cole type croon through to bluesier stuff and jazzy styles. Its a great introduction to the man as each track is good having something to offer the listener.

Pretty cold windy day in Guildford."

I have been crate digging for longer than this. Crate digging is the term we vinyl hunters call oursleves, as most of the finds are in crates or boxes.

Talking of classic black and white SF B movies  i have found the complete The Crawling Eye from 1958. Note - in the UK it was known as The Trollenberg Terror.





Enjoy.
