This album is clear straight ahead date, similiar in line up to previously posted two Harry Beckett Quintet BBC sessions from 1980's.  Melodic themes and fierce soloing from all involved.

http://www.multiupload.com/CSORZ96N41 - I have posted mp3 for now, as dont have CD at home actually and also original vinyl was not in very good condition. Can post flac later, if somebody want to spend some time on refining it. Also if someone have better quality copy, it would be great to hear. Enjoy!

I don' have this Harry Beckett, so the chance to listen is very welcome. The flac would be great, though.

Despite the somewhat crummy sound quality, the music is highly enjoyable.
Many thanks for the share, Miloo!

Really appreciate the re-post - I have been in pursuit of a copy of this for many years. Looking forward to renewing my acquaintance with this one!

Hi miloo2, just spotted the re-up, but the link seems already dead. Any chance of a re-re-up?

Andy said...

@bventure. It appears to be working for me.

Some very unElton sounding Dean..

In case of difficulties with ulozto.net, just change first part of address (domain) for ulozto.cz or uloz.to. It will be in Czech then, and stáhnout = download.

@Andy - yes, it is bit un-typical Elton...
