As you will all know from my previous post Impressed 3 was good to go until Universal pulled the plug on it. Compiled single handedly as a labour of love by Tony Higgins (who had previously put together Impressed 1 & 2 with G.Peterson) this third volume was shelved by Universal and nobody would have been any the wiser ...if Tony hadn't left a comment at my Stan Tracey post mentioning this fact. So I posted up the track listing and Don Rendell's notes courtesy of Tony and got a stack of comments and a lot of interest.
So now here's the good news - Tony Higgins has sent me a CDR of Impressed 3 pulled together from his original vinyl and given the go ahead for it to be made available here at Orgy In Rhythm ! Tony has also sent me two collages which he put together to be used for the artwork on the intended release along with a superb set of copius sleeve notes about each featured track and Don Rendell's previously posted intro essay. I have included all of these in the download file and also used one of the collages to head up this post.
So big big thanks go out to Tony Higgins - please leave a comment to show your appreciation for all the work he has put into this magnificent compilation and his decision to share it with us.

2.London Jazz Four - Song For Hilary
3.Tubby Hayes Quartet - Finky Minky

It's amazing, just discovered the story, was wondering if there was a guy crazy enough in blogland to do the compilong work, but now it's coming from Mr Higgins itself!! A big lesson to these record companies that block projects on the one hand and complain on the other one. Big up Bacoso & Tony!!

SUPERB!
This is what this music blogging thing is (should be) all about. Big, big thanks to Mr. Rendell, Mr. Higgins and of course our gracious host, Señor Bacoso.
This is so awesome and special that a "Thank You" post obviously is not enough in terms of gratitude, but it's all I can send right now, so THANK YOU to Tony and Bacoso. The music will be cherished and celebrated (by playing it many times :-) !
Unimportant side note: it's my birthday today, thought I'd check out OIR for a little present - and BAM! Beautiful!
My apologies to reza.ryanb and Martin who all commented on this one.I managed to accidently delete your words of wisdom with my fat fingers earlier today.Feel free to leave your thoughts here once again and I promise not to fuck 'em up this time!
+1 em-uno!
Thanks ya'll, fantastic!
Wonderful news. Many, many thanks to all concerned & particularly to Tony for putting it together and allowing us to diwnload it !

Massive thanks to you & Tony for this.
This really is a special share & it is unbelievable (or perhaps not) that Universal dropped it!!
I have the first two but had no idea that a third was planned.
It was my birthday this week as well so this is a fantastic surprise present!!
Can't stop playing Jazz Rule at present but it all sounds really strong & this will remain for ever in my record collection.
Thanks again

Scratch my previous comment. I just realized that my rapidshare acct has expired. The link is fine. Thanks again.
fantastic stuff. thanks all round.
Can't believe the label bailed on this. As an overall album I think it's the best of the three (the others have got some bigger individual tracks). Thanks for putting this up
Big thanks to both of you! I'm really erm..IMPRESSED!
Seriously,cheers to this great blog. This old jazz fan has learned a lot from your posts and music here.

Fantastic work - thank you so much for sharing!
As always, Bacoso rules! Just going far beyond any hopes: we dreamt of & Tony Higgins just did it. Cheers!

For those of you who have commented that t.he link is down,broken etc I have just checked it - still works just fine
This is an amazing collection of songs. Best one I've heard in many months.
Thanks a lot!
What can I say that so many have not said already. Thanks so much for sharing!!
thanks so much.
Thanks a lot for posting and props to Tony for all his doing.
Impressed 1 + 2 are essentials that directed me to plenty of under-championed UK jazz LPs (Including Graham Collier's Deep Dark Blue Centre and Laurie Johnson's Synthesis).
Looking forward to giving this a good spin, tho shame it's not (yet) on wax.
Yesterday..Cold Sunday in Paris..
So Listen again the Impressed Lp..

Hmmm, rapidshare doesn't seem to like me:
"Download can not be started. The server returned with error Please stop flooding our download servers..."
Anyone else got this problem?
Enjoying this a lot, thanks to all involved! With the help of Google, I tried to track down best-guess release dates for these tracks: Brew 1968, Song for Hilary 1967, Finky Minky 1967, Euphrates 1974, Last Minute Bossa Nova 1963, Don the Dreamer 1969, Spikey 1965, Sunday Lunch 1961, Trent Park Song 1973, Caravan 1966, Jazz Rule 1971, Storm Warning 1965.
How much this took me back: saw quite a few (but not enough) of these guys. Many thanks indeed.
Not the first time at this blog - but man, all the stuff you are posting is so great...
Living on an island in The Netherlands with no record shops in a 75 km radius, it's great to spend my Sundays in blogland. This post is one of my favourites...but all your posts are..
