SwingDJs

ooh, I was going to buy that anyway. I'd buy it off you for a resonable price.

I'm in Australia though, does that make things too awkward?

Illegal copying deprives the artists of income. Oh wait...

I've seen a different version of Stage 1: Show up with a CD you've made of your own favourite tracks... press play... go dance.

If you are looing for information on early recording sessions, you may need to pick up something like this: Jazz and Ragtime Records, 1897-1942. Or at least track it down from a library.

I just heard Charlie Barnet's 'Pow Wow' for the first time...

C Jam Blues by LCJO never seems to fail to get all dancers up, even if it does get groans by regulars. I've also had success with Hoodle Addle by Ray McKinley and some Cab Calloway - It's catchy, if a little tired, but the regulars will go along with it. Another way to go is to play different versio...

Mills Blue Rhythm Band 1936 - 1937

Where did you get this one?. Just wondering because i've had bad luck ordering it online.

Thanks for the links. I had it on backorder at Amazon for about 3 months and kept getting "would you like to wait another month?" emails, so I gave up on it there.

I have found with the CDs I have of theirs that it's about 50/50. 50% of it is really REALLY awesome, while the other 50% is so-so. This is the way it is with all the CDs of theirs I own, but each one is worth it for the awesome stuff, no doubt. Harrison Thanks, 50/50 is a pretty good ratio for mos...
