Subject: [kl] Reginal Kell - recording wanted

I am looking for a recording.

35 years ago, shortly after I moved to Montréal, I heard a fantastic
recording played on the radio. It sounded like Barney Bigard with orchestral
strings. The announcer said it was a piece by Debussy played by Reginald
Kell. I thought I heard the announcer say the title of the piece was "La
Plume Collant". I asked a friend what that meant and she said: "A Sticky
Feather".

The recording stayed in my memory and whenever I thought of it, I would go
into a record or music store looking for the recording of "A Sticky
Feather"/La Plume Collant" played by Reginald Kell. No one ever heard of the
piece and only a few were able to tell me that all of Kell's recordings were
out of print.

A few years later, I became wiser learning that the Debussy piece was "La
Plus Que Lente" - but I was never able to find the Kell Recording.

If any one is able to burn me a CD of that Lp, I will be happy to buy a copy
of that recording which has haunted me for many years.

Cheers,
