    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!

    thanks, this is a great line-up from a great period in British jazz, so I'm looking forward to it.

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

    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...
