Dopo Endless Trip, Psychedelia e Galactic Ramble dedicati ad album di pop, folk, rock classico e alternativo in auge soprattutto in Gran Bretagna, Stati Uniti e Canada negli anni Sessanta e Settanta, Richard Morton Jack consegna a Lansdowne Books Labyrinth, il suo nuovo almanacco riservato stavolta al jazz britannico dell'epoca d'oro, radunando immagini in grande formato, recensioni, pubblicità e note di copertina di oltre trecento album pubblicati negli anni tra il 1960 e il 1975. Ne cita qualcuno Richard Williams al suo blog The Blue Moment, rivelando il suo preferito solo a fine recensione: "What a time it was - although it was always a struggle for those trying to make a living in jazz clubs up and down the country, despite the efforts of intrepid A&R men/producers like Denis Preston, Terry Brown, Peter Eden and Giorgio Gomelsky to persuade Decca, EMI, Philips, Pye, Polydor and CBS to record this adventurous music. Labyrinth finds a different and very enjoyable way of telling the story, exploiting the artwork and the information contained within 12 x 12 album jackets, back in the days of helpful sleeve notes. And if I had the choice of all these albums, but could keep only one? "
