Congratulations from one very satisfied customer. I’m delighted to see the surge of interest in what he produced. The sound balance on these transcriptions is excellent. On my fifth time through I find I’m listening very closely to Jeff Clyne. His choice of notes seems perfect. The liner notes are very informative. Congratulations on an all-round terrific production. All the best. Keep up the great work. Ian S.

This set of previously unreleased recordings is very valuable. The four sets of radio transcriptions for the BBC feature Hayes on all three of his instruments (a set apiece focusing on each of his axes and all three employed on the final songs) and also give listeners an early sampling of pianist Gordon Beck. The many versions of ”Tubby’s Blues” were used as opening and closing themes for the shows. Tubby Hayes was in prime form in 1965, making this CD a must for hard bop collectors. Scott Yanow

It’s impossible to find a mediocre track on this 54 minute treat. All the tunes are just excellent. The packaging includes great photographs of Tubbs, Johnny Butts and Gordon Beck (who co-produced this CD) by photographer Freddy Warren. There are also some very extensive and useful sleevenotes by Richard Hyla and a great label on the CD iteself replicating a BBC transcription disc. This is simply a must for any Tubbs fans. Very highly recommended. Roger Farbey
