    Waiting for Jazzmessengers to list the box. I just played In N' Out ; the the 80th anniv,. vinyl record. Fabulous SQ and amazing record.

    I don't know if that'll ever happen. I asked about it a while back (because that's also my preferred route) and was told they had no news from Mosaic regarding it. But that may change quickly. Though I'm also afraid if they sell out through Mosaic maybe nobody else will get their hands on them.

    Jazz Messengers' Jorge told me last week they're expecting the Joe Henderson Mosaic this week, probably on or soon after Wednesday, May 26.

    I think jazz was considered a true form of art (not "pop" music) since the late fifties over here, though not as much as in France, so I think we might have a good radio archive. The fact we couldn't promote it is another (sad) story.

    Not only in Italy and France, jazz was (and still is) considered a true art form in Northern Europe as well. Like classical music it is taken seriously here.

  3. Radio Due = Radio Two, and in most of Europe the 24-hour clock is used, 00:00-24:00, whereas most English-speaking countries use the 12-hour clock, AM and PM. So 22:15 is indeed 10:15 PM. In Italy that's CEST or Central European Summer Time ("daylight time" in the US), UTC+2.

    Which, btw; that Mobley set doesn't show up on their OOP sets page. The box set list stops with the Savoy set...so that's either a case of not updating that page (very likely), or the rest of their sets after the Savoy aren't technically OOP, right? I'm certain it has to be a case of the former. 

    I pointed out to Scott Wenzel last week that some more recent sets are missing from their OOP list and he told me they're behind with the updating. It's not a priority.

    Ok I know this may be heresy on this site.. but do we really NEED another Armstrong Mosaic? I'm frustrated as obviously Mosaic is releasing fewer sets but TWO Armstrong Mosaics in the same year, really??? Go ahead... @me....

    Well, I certainly don't need it, and I didn't need the earlier ones either, but if Armstrong sets still sell, why not? No problem for me, I'll happily ignore it. His 1920s recordings are enough for me, but a lot of people love his later work as well, so Mosaic is doing them a favour.

    That's interesting about the 22 euro tax free threshold. I was hearing on BBC radio the other day that the tax free £15 allowance here has been  (or will be?) removed for imports to the UK  from all countries , not just the EU. Either overseas sellers register and collect UK VAT (for items less than £135) or UK customs collect at point of entry into the UK. The latter no doubt with a £12 handling charge added. Given the chaos I've little doubt that some consumers will be charged VAT at point of sale abroad and also at the UK border. Brilliant

    As I said the 22 euro tax-free threshold for imports into the EU will be gone by 1 July. From that date everything will be taxed, regardless of its value, either by the seller or at point of entry into the EU.

  7. As a Dutch customs officer recently said to a lorry driver from the UK: "Welcome to Brexit, Sir".

    I purchased a 9 GBP CD from the UK on Discogs a week ago, just to see what would happen (it was available at a higher price from a couple of EU countries). Today I got an invoice from Swedish customs; EUR 2.50 VAT and 7.50 "handling" charge. If I thought that such a cheap item would slip through - not so. 

    Doesn't Sweden - as a EU member state - apply the tax-free 22 euro threshold for imports from a third country? That threshold won't be abolished until July 1.

    While talking to Scott at Mosaic today via email about some matters I asked about forthcoming Mosaics and he mentioned they would be issuing a Joe Henderson set. He didn’t say when it would be issued or give me any other details nor did I ask. 

    Ha, good to hear. I suggested a Henderson/BN set to him a while ago, along with a few other "BN in the 1960s" sets: Lee Morgan (I hope this one will materialize), Wayne Shorter, Bobby Hutcherson including Dolphy's Out to Lunch, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock (the BN set has been OOP for a long time), Dexter Gordon (same), and maybe 1960-1963 Jackie McLean.

    If I understood well, part of the recent deal was no duties within Europe but deliveries will be possibly slowed down by border controls which have already begun.

     
    Value Added Tax (VAT) is due on goods ordered by EU residents from non-EU countries (like the UK) with a total value exceeding 22 euros, but that will change: from July 1, 2021 VAT is payable on all goods imported into the EU from non-EU member states, regardless of the declared value.

    I make an honest mistake and get dumped on like I'm some of poseur.  I'm outta here.  Nice knowin' you.

    Well, calling someone a prick because you don't like his attitude isn't very nice either. As for your mistake, maybe I'm wrong, but I actually did get the impression that you're insisting Moerer is running Discogs, despite everything others have said and lacking evidence to back it up.

    Sorry if I made a mistake by letting people know about this.  You've always been a prick. Thanks for confirming it.

    You saw someone post a message on a marketplace site, assumed he ran the site and posted your assumption here as a fact without evidence to back it up, and now you're calling someone else names because he questioned your false information? Reminds me of someone in high office...

    Sorry if I rang an unnecessary bell, but the fact that Craig Moerer runs both Discogs and Records By Mail, I thought the message was a advisement about both entities.  See below:

    https://www.discogs.com/user/recordsbymail

    The fact that Moerer posted that RBM message on Discogs doesn't necessarily mean he runs them both. Anyone can join Discogs and then post a message there. There's no evidence whatsoever Moerer runs them both.

    Moerer is not included in the team that runs Discogs, nor did he found it.

    In short: Moerer is selling records on Discogs, but he's not running it.

    Is this really true currently? Because I see options to use a c/c directly and sometimes options for paypal only.  I thought the c/c payment was a pass thru from discogs to seller, an option sellers can choose? I'll be happy to know if that is not the case but how does discogs get paid otherwise?  Rely on sellers to "give back" their fee at the end of every month??

    Again, it's Records By Mail that was affected, not Discogs; they're two separate entities. I don't think Records By Mail is giving their customers' financial details to Discogs. People are buying stuff from RBM that was advertised on Discogs and are dealing directly with RBM. Unlike Amazon Discogs is not involved in the financial handling of the sale other than taking a fee from the seller.
