A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | NEIL ARDLEY Harmony Of The Spheres (Rare Test
Pressing for the 1979 UK 7-track LP, guest starring John
Martyn, vocalist Norma Winstone & Landscape's Richard
Burgess, this is a wonderfully textured Progressive
Jazz-Groove winner with a distinct British touch. The labels
are custom pink Factory studio labels with just the artist
name annotated one side with the correct matrix detail
machine stamped in the run-outs. Very hard to find, as these
test pressings were made purely totest the sonics & never
sold to the general public this way, the vinyl is near mint

7. Towards Tranquility |  | THE NEW JAZZ ORCHESTRA Western Reunion (1965 UK 9-track deep
groove mono LP on the red unboxed Decca label, led by Neil Ardley
and including such Brit-jazz notables as Ian Carr & John Hiseman. The
front laminated sleeve shows only the very lightest signs of
discolouring but is otherwise excellent. The vinyl shows just the
lightest of spindle wear to indicate play and is clean and once again in
gorgeous EX+ condition. What makes this rather special is that it's
complete with a bonus fold-out flyer for three gig listings at
the Medway Little Theatre Club in Rochester, Kent (December, 1966).
Part printed and part handwritten, the Tubby Hayes Quartet, New Jazz
Orchestra and the Don Rendell Quintet were the three big names!

Condition:-
Obtained from a one owner collection recently bought from someone heavily involved in British Jazz & all things 'freeform' at the time, this is a lovely condition example ready to be passed on to the right collector.
The sleeve has lovely, clean laminate, secure flipbacks & is still largely off white. We grade the cover Excellent due to a spot of light ring wear & just the odd minor corner crease in the laminate. The vinyl appears Near Mint with minimal suggestion of play. Recommended for the adventurous listener. |  | NEIL ARDLEY / IAN CARR / MIKE GIBBS / STAN TRACEY Will
Power - A Shakespeare Birthday Celebration In Music (Rare

including flourishes of electronics, vocals from Norma
Winstone & top class musicianship from Gordon Beck, Tony
Coe, Tony Levin, Kenny Wheeler and more, front laminated
gatefold picture sleeve ZDA164/5)
. See 'more info' for
condition...
Tracklisting: The picture sleeve is a gatefold, laminated front and back with extensive album notes inside. The sleeve shows minimum creasing, has fine edges and is in superb condition all round.

Highly recommended |  | NEIL ARDLEY A Symphony Of Amaranths (British Jazz
Masterpiece 1972 UK 8-track stereo vinyl LP. The first half is
devoted to the title piece, an extraordinary original
composition by Ardley devoted to the greats; Duke Ellington &
Gil Evans, written for large ensemble including Don Rendell,
Stan Tracey, Henry Lowther, Harry Beckett, Jeff Clyne & Jon
Hiseman. The second side sees the words of Edward Lear, W.
B. Yeats, James Joyce, Lewis Carroll put to music - Ivor Cutler
narrates 'TheDong With A Luminous Nose', worth the price of
admission alone, & Norma Winstone's delivery on 'Will You
Walk A Little Faster' is just lovely! See 'more info' for
condition details... SLRZ1028)
Tracklisting: A Symphony Of Amaranths:
A1 Carillon

Condition:-
The sleeve is fully textured & still a nice off white. The cover grades Excellent & reveals a little minor ring wear with just a faint patch of cosmetic wear in the top right corner on the reverse, & no writing. A lovely example.
The vinyl grades Excellent & reveals just a few small spindle marks & the odd light paper scuff to highlight play & has a deep sheen both sides & impressive sound. This album is possibly the very height of creativity in progressive British Jazz... if you've seen the BBC's British Jazz documentary from a few years back, you'll know this is the record Gilles Peterson holds up to the camera as if to say, 'you must own this one'! |  | NEIL ARDLEY Harmony Of The Spheres (1979 UK 7-track LP, also
featuring John Martyn, Ian Carr, Barbara Thompson, Tony Coe,
vocalist Norma Winstone and Landscape's Richard Burgess amongst

of edge scuffing & the vinyl remains in excellent condition with few
signs of play TXS-R133)
