John Gregory - A Man For All Seasons (1974)

Image
Mmm...now I can listen to almost anything but there's even stuff on here I don't like.  Maybe, that's why he's a man for all seasons.  Still, don't let that put you off, there are three well-known tracks on here that will blow yer socks off!  Jetstream being one such classic.

John Schroeder - Gangster Movie Vibrations (1974)

Image
Most probably the best (and funkiest!) of the Vibrations series from John Schroeder.  Check out his brilliant version of Quincy Jones' Money Runner .

Eric Winstone Plays 007 (1973)

Image
This has been on my wants list for a few years so I pleased to find it so cheap on my recent trip down south.  OK, so it's a little crackly here and there, but none of that matters when you hear The Man With The Golden Gun .  No, not the version you think it is, but a co-write from Eric and the legendary Syd Dale. 

Frankie Carle - The Latin Style Of (1966)

Image
These are the kind of records you rarely ever see over here in England so I was surprised to find this (and a Harry Horlick LP) a few months ago at a record fair for 50p each.  I'm sure the streets of every American city are paved with albums like this, but not over here unfortunately.  A sneak preview here .

Cyril Stapleton - The Panoramic Sound Of Lennon and McCartney (1969)

Image
OK, I'm ready to start posting some of my £1 a time booty from my recent holiday.  This was an album I'd been after for a while and it's a corker!  I know it's been posted by other folk around these parts, so I hope they don't mind me proudly posting my own copy. Ticket To Ride

Xavier Cugat - Caricatures (1964)

Image
Fly Me To The Moon

City Of Westminster String Band - Home Lovin' Hits (1971)

Image
Another one of John Schroeder's excellent projects.  Includes the wonderful Split Level .

The Orchestrah (1974)

Image
Odd little LP from 1974.  Nice version of Life On Mars though.

Chaquito - Swinging Latin Sound (1962)

Image
I scanned the covers to this early Chaquito classic before Christmas but never got round to posting it.  It's certainly a summer album though so I'm glad I waited a while. Baia
