The Satchmo price is weird... will come down, I guess (40€ is the price on amazon.fr for most of them, btw).

Guess I'll grab me the Bechet... still want the two missing RCA Tribune 2LP sets (Vol.3/4 and Vol.5/Delauney), but this would be nice in the meantime, I guess.

Thanks for suggesting amazon.it. Never used them before. Ordered the Wes and the Creed Taylor yesterday. Down for delivery today so I guess copies from Amazon UK are being sent.

Interesting site - sure some more 'cd box arbitrage' is possible.

[Fer Urbina]

Haven't seen the Wayne Shorter Columbia box at a lower price than this (€21.53 + shipping, at Amazon.fr).

I don't know. There's that Kenny G box. Can I resist that? Can I? Hmmmmm.......yeah, I guess I can.

There were several Coltrane boxes and a Getz Bossa Nova box......Tom Petty and some other good rocks stuff....nothing I'm going to jump on though....

BB sale prices seem to track pretty closely to Amazon's non-sale prices, at least on the jazz box sets I checked.

At 5:02PM, the deal was 77% gone. I feel like I'm at WalMart trying to score an xBox.

[Joe Bip]

The Miles set can be purchased for $27 and change from Barnes & Noble using the code N7C7K8T, which expires 9:00 EST tomorrow morning.

know the feeling especially as it gets closer to Christmas

Not quite as nice as when BestBuy.com was shipping the Coltrane Side Steps box for 12 bucks.

[king ubu]

Guess we all have this, but at less than 10€ this is a steal:

Somehow I can't help feeling sad about this whole development... 30 or 40€ would already be a steal in my book - this music really is beyond any price tag!

Yes indeed. It's really ridiculous... even most of those new RCA/Columbia boxes (Wayne Shorter, Sam Cooke, Nina Simone etc) are being sold for ridiculous prices. On the other hand, you get the super deluxe crap, ridiculously price on the other end of the spectrum (they had several copies of the Miles BB Anniversary box for 300 - effin' gimme a break, 300! - swiss francs in a store here... and I'm sure some rich guys paying no taxes bought them).

Jimmy Smith - Eight Classic Albums - $13.52

Hank Mobley - Eight Classic Albums - $8.01

Lou Donaldson - Eight Classic Albums - $8.07

Kenny Dorham - Eight Classic Albums - $7.28

Charles Mingus - Eight Classic Albums - $8.17

Modern Jazz Quartet - Eight Classic Albums - $11.43

I tried the Three Sounds - Eight Classic Albums and three of the Discs had errors on tracks higher than #12. Has anybody else had these problems with this set?
Didn't notice any problems with Modern Jazz Quartet - Eight Classic Albums.

[king ubu]

Errors when playing them on a CD player or errors when ripping them?

I guess it's as Mr. Sangrey has put it so well in some other thread: you get what you pay for...

[GA Russell]

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not seeing the box bargains this year like we saw last Christmas.

Most of our recent talk seems to be centered on European PD releases. Am I wrong?

Mine played just fine. Sometimes the sound seemed to fade in and out but it may be due to a speaker problem I've been having.

No, I think you're right. There have been "lightning deal" sort of things where some of the newish big rock sets are marked down for an hour or a day. Deepdiscount had the Beach Boys SMiLE Sessions $20 or $30 cheaper for at least a day. The Springsteen Darkness binder from last year appeared as an Amazon Lightning Deal is another example. I'm wondering though if post-Christmas will be a time of better markdowns. Ah yes, I see last year I bought the Dylan mono box on sale on NYE from Barnes & Yes We're Still Here Noble of all places.

These are now showing "Temporarily Out of Stock." Did you buy them all G.A.?
But thay are available from Amazon resellers (mostly in UK) for even lower prices; be prepared to wait a month to get them as shipping is slooow.

Yep especially considering the story of this label, some of these cds were sold at 5$ two years ago by a our local equivalent of Barnes & Noble.
