I can get my cousin in Cornwall to buy it and send it on @Bob Holo

I have only just picked up this thread and I have not read all the posts but in case it has not been identified, "Jive Bomber" was recorded in London on 9th April, 1941 by Stephane Grappelly and his Quartet - Stephane Grappelli, George Shearing, Jack Llewellyn, George Gibbs (b), Dave Fullerton (b).

I read somewhere that George Shearing once said he went to America because he got fed up with people in the UK saying he was Stephane Grappelli's pianist.

Wim did that last night - thanks much though!

Sorry to sound miffed about not being able to buy the album. It drives me up a wall when people try to control the internet by parsing it to fit the whims of outmoded fee & tariff mechanisms. I've had a few careers, but likely the most fun one other than luthiery, was working in network engineering for Intel and helping propagate networking protocols & technologies which we believed were capable of uniting the world... but which people are now using to divide it. It's a sore spot with me. But, c'est la vie, as the French would say.

Glad to hear @Wim Glenn was succesful.
