Still from the timing that Riccardi has given there's considerably more than twice that additionally on the new releases, and additional material from the Real Ambassadors. As to how valuable they are. .. that's a subjective thing. I bet I find them valuable; I'm going to preorder when I can.
Oh, so will I. And I imagine I'll love it when I actually hear it!

That matches my count as well. Would be cool to add the MGM stuff, but I'd go for just the Deccas!

Legacy did such a fine job with the Satch Columbias late in the 90s, including several alternates. I'll buy the Mosaic because, well, I buy Mosaics, but I do wonder how much that is really new and valuable will be on this one.

One realistic set that might sell would be the complete Lionel Hampton Deccas from, what, '42-50? You could add the MGM Big Band sides on about 1 1/2 more cds. Scott likes the earlier stuff.

Not sure if there's any accessible way of seeing what the post count has been month-by-month or year-by-year... grateful as always that Jim A. (w/help of moderators) has kept this joint running for so long.
Most of the categories I follow seem to be pretty active, and not only because I blather away on them, either!!

It was one of those very early Columbia digital transfers. I think the Japanese may have redone it, but that's an expensive buy, and I don't know if it's better.

Well, that was a gate-fold LP, so no booklet as such, but it was thoughtful of Scott to send you a copy of the liners!

You inspired me to pick this one out. Listening to Disc 3 right now.

For me Sinatra's last truly great album was the one he did with Jobim. The interplay was lovely.

Anyone who doesn't have it should definitely grab the Clifford Brown.

Issues with Paypal
in Miscellaneous Music

I just saw this thread. Exactly the same thing happened to me, Bertrand, so you're NOT alone! I'm pretty sure I also labeled it a Friends and Family because it was for music lessons for a grandson, and she had asked me to do that. I switched to writing her a check! I have used Paypal for a couple of Ebay buys, but they specifically noted it was a credit card transaction without the fees, so I think they know about this. Anyway, thanks for the discussion!
