Yes, thanks very much. I have added Tanz der Lemmings to my enormous 'to buy' list.

Layla - Derek and the Dominos - whatever you think of Clapton now, this was a phenomenal album.

Closely related, the Allman Brothers live at the Fillmore (AKA the Fillmore Concerts, remasterd and remixed).

I'd be interested if anyone else saw Derek and the Dominos live. I did!!

If you like musicals, Leonard Bernstein conducting Kiri and Jose in West Side Story is a pleasing double album.

I guess so, if you can suspend your disbelief enough to imagine them as star crossed young lovers. I think the music is brilliant but the operatic style just doesn't suit the recording. And they have so mush trouble jazz phrasing on some tunes they sound like beginners. Check Ferreras singing on 'Somethings coming'. Boy can that man swing (not)

We're thinking the new henry fool album should be a double. What do you think 2 CDs or 1 CD with 2 sides?

Gatefold sleeve of course!

Great! 2 CDs please - too much messing about with a double-sided.

As for a sleeve, I'm definitely becoming a cardboard convert - check out the Bill Laswell reconstruction of Carlos Santana "Divine Light". Four-way folding, quality lamination. I'm sure it wasn't cheap, but it's one of those rare occasions with CD packaging that you feel you're getting something special
