Are there any box bargains currently available?

[GA Russell]

Other than the recent threads about the Bill Evans and Red Garland boxes, I don't recall much conversation here about mainstream jazz box sets on sale.

I see that the Coltrane Prestige boxes can still be had fairly cheaply. Any other bargains that I don't know about?

The Stan Getz/Kenny Barron 7-CD "People Time" set is on sale for $35 on Amazon, which sounds like a good deal.

Thanks for the tip Sandman, it sucks that Amazon.com has raised shipping fees for non US customers. Still is a good bargain at 50 $ .

Rates look the same to me. Total for this set to Japan would be around $43.00.

Worth every cent.

In a way, it proves my point, at least for Canucks don't think it should cheaper to send to Japan than to Canada

Wes Montgomery Riverside Big Box-$69.99 Nuwbury Comics,Burlington,MA

Complete Paul Desmond - Jimmy Hall Recordings: Amazon Seller $16.27

[jazzbo]

Not jazz, but unlike the Desmond, an official release and a great price from an amazon seller, 22 bucks. Excellent remastering, and fantastic music.

Complete Donny Hathaway Atlantic

And this upcoming set is a helluva deal for the amount of discs. Even Clem sort of approves.

Leonard Bernstein Sony collected Symphony recordings

[jazzbo]

This is an EXCELLENT box set. There's a good deal, 55 bucks, from an amazon seller here, and possibly better deal through amazon.uk, amazon.fr or amazon.de

\\

The mastering on this set is as good as the Hathaway. Previous issues of either set's material never sounded this good.

Crap, don't tell me that! I recently coughed up over twice that via the Mosaic/True Blue welfare plan.

Great box set nevertheless. :tup

I seriously have to stop trolling these bargain threads. This sounds awfully hard to resist.

I recall at one time, maybe about a year ago, Concord was having a sale; discs were averaging about $6 or $7 each. I think the Mingus/Debut was included.

[mjzee]

As an introduction to jazz, this seems like a great deal: $46.88 (for 25 discs) from an Amazon reseller:

Perfect Jazz Collection

[GA Russell]

I'd like to see a Prestige box like that Columbia box mjzee mentions.

Thanks for all of your responses! There are a number that I didn't know about.

[Chuck Nessa]

I was introduced 50+ years ago. Thank your god I don't have to go through that again.

Bad blind date, huh?
