Malcolm Addey did another very fine job with this great set

It's a Connoisseur set: True Blue Turrentine Blue Hour page. The info on the Blue Note site is wrong.

How obsessed can one get... (Not meaning you, of course)

I don't have the set, so no personal comments from me, but maybe this AMG review is helpful.

I'll ask Hiroshi Tanno and post his reply here.

Does anyone yet know if this one will be DSD remastered? Probably not. The Japanese Blackhawk box wasn't either.

Thanks guys. I didn't feel like posting for quite a while for personal reasons, but I managed to get over my reluctance - at least for now...

You're welcome! According to the HMV Japan site the Farnsworth is a hybrid SACD, hence the high price. Can't find anything re the personnel.

I just got another spoof eBay e-mail, and forwarded it to spoof@ebay.com. I wonder if they'll do something about it...

Brad, Did you forward the e-mail to spoof@ebay.com? I got several of those e-mails last month and forwarded them all. The "eBay spoof dept." ( ) told me they'd investigate and take the necessary steps (for what it's worth...)

Sent you a PM.

Damn your clumsy fingers, you've made me look like a total fool. ...And I'm not even talking about my nervous spasms...

Yeah, I wish... Sorry catesta, I mistakenly deleted my post by pushing the wrong button... I said in my post that, aside from the merits, it would be expensive for non-U.S. members. For instance, shipping a CD from Europe to the U.S. would cost at least $2.50...

Same here, yesterday and today.

Same here.

yuo9plpook??

I got it for $210 on eBay a couple of weeks ago.

Mosaic sets on eBay

The Mosaic's a terrific set, but Lon is right, the TOCJ sounds better than its Mosaic equivalent and so do the TOCJs of all albums that were included in the set - with the exception of the first date, of course, which was never available as a "Blue Note Works" TOCJ. Toshiba first released that one in 1990 (CJ28-5128) and reissued it as a JRVG.

Same here.

Added the Orioles (not the remakes, though) to the list.

This CD contains remakes, not the original recordings: AMG review.
