Personnel :-

Tony Oxley - Drums
Let us start by saying that this is one HELL of an album. Pressed on high quality heavyweight vinyl, the sound quality is phenomenal, with every subtle nuance of the interplay between the members of the Trio standing out & the full dynamics of the performances captured perfectly. Multiple facets of group improvisation are explored, so you can expect quite a ride.
The front laminated sleeve sports a fascinating design with stunning monochrome shots of the Trio on the rear. Upon close study there is a bit of scuffing along the spine & at the bottom due to some overlap in the nature of its manufacture, & some mild crinkling to the laminate nearing the edges but nothing at all dramatic. It remains relatively wear free & the colours are rich & vibrant, with no discolouring or annotations so often found on Jazz records.
The vinyl is clean & plays beautifully. On close inspection, there are a couple of ever so faint light paper scuffs or mild hairlines in a few small areas which have little to no effect during play, visually grading somewhere between EX-/EX. The labels show no spindle marks indicating minimal play. We believe a collector would be most happy with this example.
This is an extremely rare Jazz LP, much sought after worldwide & is notoriously difficult to find. Who knows if we will ever see one again! |  | GORDON BECK The French Connection 2 (1982 French only

2. Going Up |  | THE GORDON BECK QUARTET Experiments With Pops (1968 UK
8-track Stereo vinyl LP on the deep groove red & white Majpr
Minor label, featuring a very young John McLaughlin, one of the
most creative jazz quartet albums ever recorded in Europe yet
still widely overlooked and underappreciated at the time, front
laminated picture sleeve. The sleeve displays just light wear and
age discolouration with a small sticker mark on the back, the
labels remain clean with just a couple of marks aroundthe
spindle hole, and the vinyl remains excellent with only light signs
of play. A fantastic example and the first we have ever had
SMLP21)

Tracklisting: Gordon Beck is one of the unsung heroes of British jazz, clearly at the top of his game when recording Experiments With Pops. The album features the pianist backed by a then unknown John McLaughlin on guitar, together with bassist Jeff Clyne and drummer Tony Oxley. This quartet perform to impeccably high standards with expert handling of modern popular tunes such as These Boots Are Made For Walking, Norwegian Wood, I Can See For Miles and Good Vibrations, all reinterpreted in a modern jazz context. The results are both challenging but highly accessible at the same time. This makes for an album that is consistently enjoyable throughout and one you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommended!
