May already be too late (always is), but there's a $54.99 Don Pullen Select at DG. This is a seriously good box set.

There's also a Dexter Gordon at the same price.


Thanks SMB!

For $50, this might make a great Christmas present.

I know someone from JazzLoft posts here from time to time. I am seriously considering this, but am wondering if the promos are CDs only, or if there's art. Makes or breaks the deal for me.

The Ultimate Chuck Berry (3 CDs) - 6.77 GBP

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000E8NQTK/ref=pe_59001_40557121_pe_epc__1p_7_ti

The label is Spectrum Audio. It has recordings from 1964 and 1972, so apparently it is not a PD release.

Spectrum is a UK budget label in the Universal family. They have put out a lot of interesting Motown-related collections, as well as some interesting collections by some of the UK Beat groups who are obscure Stateside (for instance, the Merseybeats, who hit in the UK with the sublime "I Think of You"). No frills, no great shakes sound-wise, but low prices and legit.

"Box Set Sale" at DeepDiscount.com. I don't shop or know any prices, though deepdiscount has done alright by me in the past, when I was buying. So I'll post the link. It could suck. But y'all will be better judges: Link

They were real competitive for a few years, then got much more expensive. I gave them a fair amount of business for awhile, as the free shipping was a good thing, but haven't even looked at them for a few years. These sale prices look to me to be OK, but not special.
