Hardbopjazz Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 (edited) Right now, it is going for $1. I don't think it will remain at this price. What do you think the final price will be? I think it will go for $225. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4027163731&rd=1 Edited July 28, 2004 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonm Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I already have this, but if not, I would probably bid a couple bucks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris olivarez Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 $225 might be an underestimation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 (edited) A Larry Young Mosaic set shows up on Ebay two or three times a month. The usual end price is around $250, but it has also gone up to $350. The lowest price I've seen was $150, it was a "US only" auction and the seller didn't accept Paypal.

take5 Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Why do people bid for an item when there are still a few days left? It only drives the final price up higher. Doesn't it make more sense to wait until the last day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbopjazz Posted July 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Just how much of the set is available? I have the Mosaic. How much better does the recently releases sound? I dig Larry Young. I would consider buying the individual CD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkertown Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 You know, I haven't really done any direct comparisons but that version of "People" off of the Talkin' 'Bout session just totally gives me goosebumps on the Mosaic set. This does not happen for me on the 24bit McMaster. Actually, I gifted it to someone... B) Great set, sure wish I had a box and booklet...

Shrdlu Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 The TOCJs, which exist for all the good sessions in this set (i.e. up to "Unity" ), sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 (edited) I think the Young Mosaic is one of their better efforts. Most Mosaics pretty much color inside the lines when it comes to stylistic coherence, but the Young box runs the gamut from inside to outside and all points inbetween. I think it provides an almost unprecedented opportunity to view the development of an artist and his music. Indespensible IMO. Speaking of Larry Young, I picked up an interesting Jimi Hendrix recording the other day. It's a 2 CD British release consisting of studio outtakes from 1966-1970. Three of the tunes, one of which runs over 10 minutes and is called "Larry Young Jam", feature our man on the Hammond. I think these are from a rare session called "Nine for the Universe" or something like that. Interesting stuff and very good sound. They claim it's 48 bit remastered. Can't say I've heard of that before. Up over and out. Edited July 29, 2004 by Dave James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed S Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 The Larry Young is among my very favorite Mosaic sets. This is one of the few sets that I make an effort to listen to from one end to the other. I love the way the intensity and creativity build throughout the set and how the music evolves and takes shape with each succeeding album. I'm a big fan of the second half of this set which I know has not drawn rave reviews. Dare I say it's my favorite Mosaic??? There are many many great ones and sometimes favorites change based on mood etc, but if someone had a gun to my head....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Young's music goes through a big chance from Talkin' about and Into Somthin' to Mother Ship. Such underrated artists. The sides he did with Tony Williams are so different then most of his BN stuff. The fact that he would play with musicians like Jimmy Hendrix shows how devise he was.

Nate Dorward Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 The sound on the Mosaic is not all that "bright". I haven't done a direct comparison to the RVGs though. There's about 4-5 tracks between Heaven & Earth & Contrasts that are worth having but it looks like all the really good stuff on it is now available or will be shortly.
