Is it still available?

It ended at $1,585. It's a Classic Records re-issue, with the faux deep-groove and addresses. Except, of course the obvious 'Classic Records under licence etc.' line at the bottom of the back cover. http://cgi.ebay.com/VG-RARE-Lee-Morgan-Ind...1QQcmdZViewItem

Whoops, didn't at all mean it in that sense. I should mention that my old eBay nick was on that list too! All because I dared to complain about a record showing up VG when it was listed as NM. Didn't mean to infer that jbs-tom is a bad buyer/seller at all, just put two and two together in my head!

Haha, I knew your name sounded familiar, jbs-tom! It's in a list of eBay bidders that a bunch of record sellers trade with each other. They suggest you block all people on the list so as to avoid supposed hassle. You're semi-famous I guess!

Steve Hoffman is full of shit. My OJC CDs sound better than his 'Bags Meets Wes' and Pepper's 'Intensity'. Also, he needs a haircut. That mullet is criminal.

I always thought Kenny Dorham steals the show on this, but Rocky ain't no slouch either, and seems to stay in the high registers, which is interesting.

I guess they couldn't resist that white label, similar to early Riverside, some OJC have. It makes those "Sound of Sonny" looks like the real deal, especially with a blurred Ebay picture... please add the typical Ebay "more money than brain (and eyes, and knowledge)" behaviour, and you have an explanation of those 500 $. Try $599, not $500: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sound-Of-SONNY-ROLLINS...bayphotohosting

JeffK, I wish you the best for 2008. You could have easily put these boxes on eBay and made a small fortune - and we can all learn something from your selflessness. Thanks.

Richard Cook's 'Jazz Encyclopedia' never strays far from my bed-side table. Easily one of the best reference guides that exists on jazz.

Re: Chet Baker 'Sings It Could Happen To You' K2 version: I played it last night, and it sounded horrible! Mind you, I had just spent two hours playing immaculate sounding German ECM LPs and mono Japanese pressings. Was my problem going from LPs to CDs, or is this just a bad sounding recording? The vocals and mixing didn't sound great, and I didn't remember it being so bad. Are there better versions/pressings to be aware of? Musically, it's outstanding.

I'm not the seller, but this is a great price for a great set! http://cgi.ebay.com/Complete-Keynote-Colle...1QQcmdZViewItem

If Jim decides to keep this board going (and I believe that decision is his and his alone), I move that any non-music sub-forums be deleted immediately. There's seriously two guys arguing in a baseball thread? These what I like to call 'first-world issues', and they need to stop, as they are so ridiculous it boggles my mind. While I would support a pay feature, I would also expect some user bannings, as people arguing over baseball and political threads have other places to take their nonsense rather than a music board. Should the board stay, Jim should also pick any moderators.

The eBay handle is over at the 'Offering and Looking For' board at AAJ. Of course, he does NOT have 'the jazz' - what a shocker.

Someone mentioned an online jazz LP retailer on these forums a month or so ago. For the life of me, I can't remember it! It wasn't Hiroshi's site, it wasn't Acoustic Sounds and it wasn't GEMM. There were about 200 pages of used lps, and one could search the listings by label. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

This is/was a fantastic re-issue series, but I thought something was going on with the last batch. Not only were they titles people have been waiting forever for, but we had 17 of them released within a month. I really hope we haven't heard the last of them though.
