TUBBY HAYES QUINTET Down In The Village (Rare UK 1962 first issue
6-track mono vinyl LP on the black & silver Fontana label, recorded live
at Ronnie Scott's Club in May that year with Jimmy Deuchar, Gordon
Beck, Freddy Logan & Allan Ganley - a fantastic live set introduced by
Ronnie himself & well worth it for the excellent title track & the
riproaring opener, Johnny One Note. The front laminated sleeve has
some coffee staining on the back slick yet all print remains clearly
legible &the flipbacks are secure, the spine perfectly legible. The vinyl
(G condition) shows quite a few scuffs, hairlines & the odd scratch but
has been professionally cleaned & still plays through well. Once the full
band get going this remains an enjoyable set with a little ambient
surface noise in the quieter sections & no distortion. A serviceable
example of one of Tubby's finest live dates!)
