Wow, thanks for posting this, CJ. Didn't even know this guy existed. I don't collect vinyl, but I certainly have more in common (jazz and crazy collector wise) with him than anyone in my immediate life.

Very nice! Saw the name Jack Quigley in the LPs that didn't make it to CD thread, and then found this thread!
Looks like Blue Moon has released maybe all of his output on CD.

Man, I love these kinds of threads! I rip all my CDs and share the audio files across my computers. The audio files are backed up, and my CDs are on full display. I know it's not the "Show yer collection" thread from the early 2000s, but here it is, minus the Mosaics and similarly sized box sets: https://www.flickr.com/photos/187626192@N04/49702197523/in/dateposted-public/.
I keep a master spreadsheet in Google Drive, with basic information - artist, title, label, label #, any additional notes that I find interesting (e.g. RVG series) and number of discs. I use Lord's Discography to record the CDs and individual tracks that I own. Selecting the tracks one by one made for a tedious summer, but it's easier to to add new purchases now that the bulk of the collection is already in there. Although Lord is not perfect, it's pretty good and an easy way for me to, say, look up a box set and see how much music I'd be duplicating. I can look up the Mosaic Boogie Woogie select and easily see that I have the majority of the music on Chronological or Collector's Classics discs and the Lionel Hampton Mosaic set.

Ellington Centennial Edition on eBay, new and Buy It Now at $125 with $14 shipping. That's as cheap as I've seen it.
-
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the CD version of this set is available at Grooves-Inc for 56 dollars or so, and maybe free shipping. Damn. I paid $90 to UDiscover.

Thanks for the heads up, Stompy (just ordered one). According to Scott Wenzel, they discovered the Berigan sets in a a box marked Woody Herman, somehow confused in their move from one location to another.

I didn't see this posted elsewhere.
From their email (note that some Chronological Classics are back in production/for sale):
Worlds Records is going out of business. In order to promote internet sales we are offering a 5% discount on all web orders. This discount will show up in the final invoice. After more than 40 years in business we will be closing when all inventory is gone.
To this end we are inaugurating a new sale today. Every Tuesday we will be offering all product from one or more Artist Listings on sale with a 25% discount. For example, today we are offering all CDs by artists whose last name begins with C, such as Bob Chester, Carmen Cavallaro, Rosemary Clooney, Benny Carter, etc. This applies to Various Artist collections also. These various artist collections are listed by the first letter of the title, such as Cabaret Echoes, Columbia Dance Bands, Chart Toppers Of The Thirties, etc. These sales are limited to stock on hand. These sale items for the week of February 25. Once again, this week's sale items can be found here.
All sale items included in orders from our website will receive a 30% discount, 25% from the sale product price and a 5% bonus discount on all items included in the order (even if they are not on sale), calculated on final invoice.
We will continue offering New Releases as they appear. For instance we have recently begun offering the Crystal Stream label (from Australia). We had a problem with these CDs when they were first offered in 2002 and we discontinued selling them for ten years. The problem, it turned out, was that paper labels were used on the discs and an imbalance on some discs caused problems with many CD players. Now the discs have information applied with ink; the sound is as great as ever and for those who enjoy music of the 1920s and 1930s you will find these discs a wonderful addition to your library.
Another label that we have not offered from many years, Classics Chronological Collections, are available once again. These CDs were first offered in batches of 5 per month over an incredible 15 year period. Over 765 titles were originally produced in France. Now an ambitious project has resurfaced with the intention to bring back as many of the original titles as sales warrant. The plan is to present all releases by an artist at one time (or in the case of an artist like Duke Ellington who had 45 CDs, in several batches). For instance the early artist reissues are by Ethel Waters (7 of the 8 CDs), James P. Johnson (8 titles), The Three Peppers (1 CD), etc.. These CDs are manufactured in the United States.
Until next week...

Got a set of pristine Chrono(lo)gical classics off of eBay. I'll be subsisting on tap water and Ramen for the foreseeable future, but at least I'll have something to listen to while I do so.

I didn't see this posted elsewhere, but I got an email from Worlds stating that they are having a 15% off sale, applicable to everything they sell. A couple dozen CDs are on sale with a combined 23% discount off the list price (http://www.worldsrecords.com/catalog/birthdays/1janbirth.html); this latter offer is good through Friday. Many titles offered by Worlds can be had cheaper, even with the discount, but the discounted price for Jazz Oracle CDs ($12.75) is pretty competitive, at least for the single cd sets. Blowitoutahere.com sells Jazz Oracle titles for a buck or so less, but they charge a buck more per disc for shipping, and Worlds has timelier service. For multiple-disc Jazz Oracle titles, however, blowitoutahere is still better. You can get the Red Nichols 3-cd sets for 26 bucks plus a dollar shipping there, vs. 34 or so dollars at Worlds. Just letting everyone know - I have no ties to either of these sites.
According to the email, the 15% off sale is not subject to an end date at this point.

Just wanted to say Pete's a good man to do business with (I took these CDs off his hands). The discs arrived in quickly and in great condition, and the packing job was first rate.
-
As BeBop notes, the free shipping code - good, I believe, through tomorrow - is TECHEXPO11. I had to make multiple orders of no more than 3 CDs in order to successfully apply the code, but it worked.
-
Just in case anyone's interested and unaware, J&R (jr.com) has a lot of OJCs and Blue Notes on sale for 6 bucks. Even with not inconsiderable shipping costs - the promo code did not work for me - a lot of these titles are still cheaper than can be found used on Amazon (with the $3 shipping/CD).

Today at Amoeba picked up
Dizzy Gillespie Vol.5 (Masters of Jazz)
Dizzy Gillespie Vol.1 (Masters of Jazz)
Joe Lutcher 1947 (R&B Classics)
Gerry Mulligan - California Concerts, Vol.1
Unfortunately, my database isn't up to date and II already have the Joe Lutcher, so that's a few buck wasted. The other three, however, are good finds at good prices.
-
Echoing others, you were - are - a very lucky guy. Be strong, and my condolences.

Walked into the Berkeley Amoeba and came out with
Jelly Roll Morton - Masters of Jazz Vols One, Two, and Seven
Charlie Christian - Masters of Jazz Vol. 1
Gerry Mulligan/Johnny Mandel - I Want to Live!
Stan Kenton - Live at the Patio Gardens Ballroom Vols. 1-3
Stan Kenton - Live at the Macumba Club
and some Rhythm and Blues Classics titles:
Joe MOrris - 1950-1953
Crown P. Waterford -1946-1950
Jim Wynn - 1947-1959
Walter Brown - 1947-1951
Amos Milburn - 1947
So, 14 titles for $73, which averages out to $5.2/disc.
-
A whole bunch of Fantasy, etc. titles. Amazon merchants (namely Newbury Comics) has most of these for 2 or 3 bucks. Part of me wishes I was just getting into jazz now, because tons of OJCs that I paid 10 bucks or so for are available for bargain prices.

Just got a few Chronogical Classics in the mail:
Mildred Bailey 1938
Gene Krupa 1940, V3, and 1945
Benny Goodman 1941-1942
Charlie Ventura, 1951-1953 and 1946-1947

I kick myself for putting off buying this series back when Alldirect.com existed and had them for reasonable prices, but even so, I got these off of Amazon marketplace for about $10 including shipping. About half of them were shrink-wrapped. I don't know why certain titles are so much cheaper than others, but I'll take 'em.

This was a great thread, so I'm resuscitating it, if only for this one post. My girlfriend of 2.5 years generally listens to what I jokingly refer to as "bitch punk," even though most of it is underground punk/rock rather than the Blink 182/Good Charlotte stuff (which I don't mind on occasion). She's actually quite good about tolerating most of my music, and when we moved to the East Bay (her first choice) for grad school, she compromised by agreeing that we would rent a 2-bedroom so I could keep my music and listen to it in the spare. We only saw live jazz once together - a gypsy jazz combo in Minneapolis at a club that is now closed - but she frequently good-naturedly complains that I haven't burned her a copy of Django music. Her main issue is with horns and drums, particularly the hi-hat, but she seems to be okay with older music, where the quality of horns and drums are muted. Our main, petty, disagreements usually stem from me being cheap about something stupid - i.e. she wants to buy blueberries or rice milk and I think they're too expensive - to which she'll come back with, "Oh, you don't have a problem spending xxx dollars on jazz cds." She's got a point.

I apologize if this type of topic has come up before (I tried searching and didn't find anything).
My question is this:
CDs are arguably on the way out. Maybe they'll still be the dominant form of music in 5 or 10 years, but I think the trend is clear. Much of the Fantasy catalog is OOP, and the recent Blue Note deletion thread bodes ill for that label's reissues. Obviously, used CDs will still be available but probably at increasingly inflated prices. My income is limited (although you'd never know based on my irresponsible purchases), so I'm currently debating on whether to snag up obscure Fantasy titles while they're still relatively cheap, deleted BN titles, cheap Classics, etc. The Andorran labels and their ilk will undoubtedly reissue some stuff, but even those may not be around forever.
How do you prioritize your purchases? Do you just buy what you want to listen to most - probably the most "honorable" way of going about it - or do you buy more...strategically, for want of a better word?

I ordered the Crosby and six selects. I received four of them in a timely enough manner. Echoing Jazzbo, I finally got a couple long-out-of-stock titles (that I ordered during the December sale) in early June.

I am. I got a lot (a lot!) of titles over the years, but still more OJCs (or Prestige/Milestone/Good Time Jazz/etc.) to get. $33 titles notwithstanding, Dusty's still been the best source for used titles. Be wary of their titles advertised as new - they're probably CDR pressings.
