Thanks for the E.B. update.

I do have the Soul Jazz ESG re-releases (except the latest...doh)
and your stuff on Acute (if you check your email archives you'll
see that I pre-ordered some items waaaay back :-) ) and I do
have the Grand Royale re-release.  Somewhere I still have the
vinyl too (although I never bought Branca vinyl back in the day,
call it ignorance).

Ah, yeah, I do have the RIOR tape kicking around somewhere as well.
Is there a ROIR CD????
