  1. Thanks. I never had a chance to hear this one before. Stabbins is a very under-rated player who rarely seems to get a spotlight. So this should be really interesting.

  2. I agree, Stabbins is a very good player, not as well known as he deserves to be. This has been one of my 'three most wanted' for a long time, so very many thanks.

  7. Great record, sick cover art. I am very fond of Bead and feel like as a label it doesn't get its due nearly enough.

  11. Thanks Nick so it is.
    Now here's a really obscure request.
    Insensitive by Brett Hornby on the Zyzzyle label from Bristol.
    I played with him in the 70's and thought he was way ahead of his time.

  12. It would be great to have a re-up. The label have disappeared now.

  13. The label's website is still up.

    But this LP is still OOP.
    I would like to add my voice to the request.
