Their 1961 Sue Records debut, including I Idolize You and A Fool In Love, plus ten more sides from the same period.

Wicked little minor-key organ instrumental, with a killer intro and rare toasting by Ramon The Mexican — resident deejay of Harriott’s Musical Chariot Sound System — who later changed his name to Ambelique.

Outstanding modal set for Futura in 1971, with the superb French trio Georges Arvanitas, Jacky Samson, and Charles Saudrais, expertly proliferating Mingus and Trane.

Aka Counceltation — pimped with a new sleeve and title straight out of the treacherous Hefner-Jazz nexus — featuring a hefty West Coast lineup: Jack Sheldon, Curtis Counce, Harold Land, Carl Perkins and Frank Butler.

A quintet — with US veterans Jesse Davis, Keith Brown, Buster Williams and Lenny White — joined by Binker Moses on a couple of cuts.
