When some records are unobtanium or too steeply priced, a CD will do 😉
Annoyingly, my copy of the Vocalion CD of Warm Smiles/Themes for Fega went astray some years ago. I must have given it away or disposed of it but I don't know why.
The Graham Collier is a superb record and brings to mind the recently reissued Ardley Greek Variations. My copy is the 2002 What Music pressing, digitally remastered (it says so) but apparently licensed rather than bootleg and with a liner note by Graham Collier -- although whether written for the LP pressing or the CD that preceded it isn't clear. At any rate it does seem to indicate the reissue had Collier's blessing and that he got paid. It has always sounded pretty good to my ears, but then my ears are nothing to write home about... Irritatingly, What Music thought it a good idea to apply the hype sticker directly to the cover rather than the shrink, somewhat spoiling the lovely artwork, but there we are: needs must, eh?
