I'm looking forward to the game tonight. I'm hoping that Saka continues to shine and I really admire Southgate and his team who all seem to be level headed.
What I can't stand however is the incredibly jingoistic media hype that is a major deterrent for me in getting behind the English team. It just goes on endlessly and the media never seem to learn. A bit more humility would go along way in my book. Football owes England nothing and the country has no right to any outcome. It's not 55 years of hurt but rather underachievement.
Additionally I'm very disappointed to read today of Danish fans being verbally abused after the semi final. An absolute disgrace and a stain on the reputation. So I'll need to decide which beer I'm drinking tonight, Watney's Red Barrel or Peroni.....
I hope Southgate will refrain from further World War II comments...

I'll say again, not all the England fans, a minority. Disgusting behaviour, yes
That's why I said "English fans", not "THE English fans" - there's a difference

I used to be an anglophile, but I'm afraid that's a thing of the past... Going into that any further would get political, so I'll stop here.

Haven't posted here, but watched most UEFA 2020 games and was not impressed by most teams, and that's putting it mildly. The Spanish and Italians were by far the best, and I really hope Italy win it on Sunday, the quality of their football should prevail over a rather mediocre English team - all in my view, of course
The attitude of English fans disgusted me, that's all I want to say about it.

It's a bit of a hassle, but you might want to consider contacting the Discogs sellers - more likely than not, they will be happy to sell to you directly.
For EU residents that wouldn't make a difference now that the 22 euros VAT-free threshold for imports from outside the EU has been abolished; from July 1 VAT is charged on all non-EU imports. I don't know how VAT on private imports is handled by UK Customs post-Brexit, but I understand VAT is due on all imports into the UK as well.

Scott Wenzel told me they'll be setting up a warehouse to streamline order fulfillment and have a better way for international shipments to arrive as he put it. I also asked him about the disappearance of the "Running Low/Last Chance" page from their site and he said it'll be noted on the page of each available set when it's running low.

It was extended to 70 years in the UK, correct? But the change was not retroactive. If something had previously entered the public domain at the 50-year mark, it stayed in the public domain.
Agree about Mickey Mouse and the Beatles.
Copyright was extended to 70 years in the EU; the UK was still an EU member state at the time, but I have no idea how the UK copyright situation is since Brexit.
1 hour ago, bresna said:That is correct. Even in the EU, post-1962 recordings are under copyright protection.
However, I was once told that Andorra, where some of the Fresh Sound family of labels reside, are not part of the EU, so they are supposedly still using a 50 year copyright. I have no idea if that is true.
I think it's sad that the US will eventually have an infinite copyright due to Mickey Mouse whereas the EU will have one due to The Beatles. Public Domain is going away.
European mini states Andorra, San Marino, Monaco and Liechtenstein are not part of the EU. The EU countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
I'm not sure labels that are based in Andorra belong to the Fresh Sound family of labels; there is a connection, but I don't know exactly how.

I tried to go to the Mosaic website I get a under construction message. Does anyone have the same trouble?
26 minutes ago, Brad said:Probably because they were in the process of giving the website a whole new look.
25 minutes ago, miles65 said:I hope so but there was nothing about that i their mail tonight explaining their situation.
The Mosaic website will indeed get a new look. I had no problems accessing the "old" site a few minutes ago.

A Wayne Shorter - and also a Bobby Hutcherson - 1960s BN Mosaic would be very nice, with a sound quality as good as on the recent but already OOP Mobley 1960s set. I'd get those in an instant

Well, mine just shipped from Mosaic. I got some birthday money from fam and I broke down and ordered, I did lose all the individual CD's in the fire (everything as you know). It's my 40th birthday this year, why not? Will be interesting to compare to the AP SACD of Page One (which I will still go to when I just want to play the album) and the masterings in the 5 Original Albums set which I'll keep for State of The Tenor.
I really enjoy the AP SACD layer of Page One. How does the Addey stack up to it?
If I remember correctly @erwbol doesn't like Steve Hoffman's masterings of the AP SACDs in general, so I guess he's not too fond of that one either.

Just got a message from Jazz Messengers that the Henderson set is now out of stock at Mosaic (no update on Mosaic's website, though) and new stock is not expected until late July at the earliest.

I'M sure they will. As long as Mosaic has copies, they will get another batch. Send them an e-mail to reserve a copy.
On another occasion I did ask them to reserve a copy, but they told me they don't do that anymore.

The Henderson set is sold out at Jazz Messengers, and I was too late. They'll hopefully get new stock.

Mine is "held in customs" (Italy). They want money, I presume.
You're in Italy (EU), so there'll be no customs charges if you ordered the set from Jazz Messengers, which is based in Spain (EU).
-
Just checked again and it's still 129.98 euros. I think that's a bit steep for 5 CDs. Usually Jazz Messengers' prices for Mosaic sets are 20 euros per disc on average, but 26 euros...

Waiting for Jazzmessengers to list the box. I just played In N' Out ; the the 80th anniv,. vinyl record. Fabulous SQ and amazing record.
3 hours ago, Bluesnik said: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.
-
This might interest EU residents who are thinking of getting the Joe Henderson Mosaic: just got a message from JazzMessengers, Barcelona, that they're expecting the JH set next week, probably Wednesday. No price was mentioned.

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.

Very sorry to hear this sad news.

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.

Very sad news.

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.
looking for someone in Japan to post some cds

No idea how the current situation in the UK is, but for EU residents things have changed: from 1 July VAT is due on every item that is imported into the EU, regardless of its value; the 22 euro threshold has been abolished. I know this doesn't concern you since you're in the UK, but I thought I'd post this here anyway, it might be of interest to people here who live in the EU.
I've used CDJapan's proxy service twice, but only for a few items I really wanted and couldn't get anywhere else. It was very expensive indeed and I also had to pay VAT on arrival.
