As I comb collectable jazz web sites, used record/CD stores, cutout racks and catalogs, for answers to your questions, I often run across a lot of interesting releases that I end up purchasing for myself. Even though these titles aren't necessarily on the lists on this column's readers, I think posting a monthly list of my out of print and/or obscure acquisitions might stimulate additional questions or at least give readers an idea of my collecting interests.

Happy searching!
