Oliver Nelson Orchestra - Afro/American Sketches (Esquire, 1962 First UK Mono Pressing)
Crazy level of percussion on this album, absolutely killer stuff. I have mentioned it before, but I find it crazy how much these pressings go for, despite using the same stamper as their US counterparts.
@ChristoBee, here's someone you should look into as part of your Big Band explorations. This album, in particular, is a good one (as is The Blues And The Abstract Truth)

Thank youGotta know more about this console.. have you discussed it here anywhere? Looks very cool!
Thank you
It’s an Hitachi sdt 2690 r from 1975 , my dad used to own one but let it go ..I brought one via a marketplace ad for him , and then he didn’t want it! So it’s now my second turntable..all working apart from the front radio band light which should be a green colour ..so it’s of for a service next week and hopefully will come back gleaming ..the turntable sounds really solid ..proper vintage ..I will post some pics once it’s been MOT’d
