aurelio Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Just ordered the set, jazzbo's calculation was exact, $64.10 total to the US. Great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 You guys are nuts! The rust box was the worst package EVER created, and the accompanying booklet was incredibly difficult to read. Music, of course, was wonderful. That was one of the first ones I ever bought that I repackaged into jewel boxes. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherbored Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I hate to disappoint you all, but you do realize all these Universal Italy sets (Dolphy, Rollins, et al) are housed in cardboard, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I'd prefer that they were, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fer Urbina Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Now that there's even a cheaper version of Clifford Brown's complete EmArcy recordings, originally released by PolyGram/Japan, wouldn't it be nice if they did the Roland Kirk and the Keynote boxes...

Fer Urbina Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Apparently, the Clifford Brown (going for €27.56 in Amazon.it, 24.72 quid in Amazon.co.uk) is a verbatim replica of the Japanese PolyGram set (click for image). Is there an "official" list of these reissues by Universal Italy? F PS A low price Dinah Washington would be quite something.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Is there an "official" list of these reissues by Universal Italy? Don't think so ... the universalmusic.it site is messy ... but after all the discussion about these sets, we really should start a dedicated thread and try and put together a list in the opening post!

Got lucky a few years back, finding the vinyl box for 30 something euros (a gamble, as it was an online order - but all was good). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romualdo Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Universal Italy is at it again: http://www.amazon.it/The-Complete-Verve-Evans-Bill/dp/B00IK5I0OA/ Wow!! - have been waiting for something like this - Went for it!! I still remember seeing one of the original "Metal" copies here in Brisbane in the late 90's - you could see rust already forming through the plastic wrapping (reminded me of PIL's "Metal Box" -> my copy is quite rusty now after almost 35 years) Anyway, it was way too expensive for me at the time though I would have loved to get the music, so now that's possible & at a very affordable price Once VAT was removed the cost came down to Euros 34.35 (plus E14 shipping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I've wanted a copy of the Evans box for years but could never justify paying £350+ for it. 40 Euros is the dog's b*llox.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I noticed on the Amazon Japan website that they have 5 copies of the Ray Charles: Pure Genius box for 3,626 yen, which seems like a steal (especially for Japanese pressings). http://www.amazon.co.jp/Pure-Genius-Completed-Recordings-1952-60/dp/B007TLCU2Y/ref=pd_sim_m_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=1G2DN98TTHWEDFA481A1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fer Urbina Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 By the way, the cheaper version of the Bill Evans Complete Verve Box does not carry liner notes. Only discographical info. (No complaints at that price). F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
