0280 Victor Feldman [The Multiple Talents of] FLAC 5(24.51)

Contributed by azule serape, who writes:-
Some early (11 and 12 August 1955) multi-tracking recordings from Victor who plays vibes, piano, drums and conga drums with just a bass player.
This is not my rip. It came from a CDR containing the music from the 10" lp to which I applied some minor sound restoration work. It is not perfect but as good as I can get it. There are no cover scans either. Track details and a very small front cover picture are included in the link.
It is now in FLAC but cannot be certain what the original ripped format was.  Once again, none of this material has ever been re-issued in any format so enjoy what we have.

Victor Feldman - vibes, piano, drums, conga
Lennie Bush - bass

0278 Tony Kinsey [Foursome] FLAC 6(13.02)

Contributed by azule serape, who writes:-
This ep is not seen very often and a cd re-issue would be more than welcome. Alan Branscombe was a man of many musical talents. He played piano, vibes, clarinet, flute and all the saxes. Here he is featured on alto and what a beautiful tone he had. Seek out his other work elsewhere as he had a lot to offer. The two volumes of 'Swingin' On The Sound Stage' on Esquire lp from 1968 are good examples. One for BritJazz in the future perhaps.
However this is Tony Kinsey's date and all the musicians get their fair share of solo space on this mainly original music. Even 'The Campbells...' works thanks to Bill LeSage's fine arrangement.
FLAC from ep with cover scans.

Alan Branscombe - alto
Bill Le Sage - vibes
Jack Fallon - bass
