.:.impossible Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Good grief. How much are the CDs? I guess they really don't want us to hear these sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Good grief. How much are the CDs? I guess they really don't want us to hear these sessions. 2 CD set is 28 bucks from amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Damn, 30 bucks an lp! yeah ... given the price differential with the CDs and the nature of this materials - breakdowns, false starts, etc., I can't see why the lps would interest anyone ...

sidewinder Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'll certainly be adding the Mosaic LP set to my list. Will have to pick up the Monk 'It Club' set first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LPs will be great and LP-buyers don't have so much to go after any more. I am certainly going to buy the CDs (my LP set-up is a bit rusty). I think people will be interested and if my LP set-up were in order I would be too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I guess that people are so used to paying about 30 bucks an lp these days. I still shudder to think about it and haven't done so. There are so many old lps out there in great condition for cheap. . . . I've got the cd set on preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'll get the CD set when prices drop. I'm already familiar with a lot of the outtakes through dimeadozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 The content of this release (with false starts and complete and partial alternate takes) seems better suited for CD format. On the other hand, while pricey, the Mosaic LP release of the Monk/Coltrane concert is rather nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think I'll pass on this one in any format - rather too much of a good thing, as is 48 minutes of Sonny playing "Four", diminishing returns and all that, YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 People can do their own thing for sure, but I would never buy an LP if there was a CD with the same content (some labels are now putting out double-LPs with bonus material over the CD, which is quite a twist). And if the LP cost more than the CDs, it wouldn't ever cross my mind to go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvopedz Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 And if the LP cost more than the CDs, it wouldn't ever cross my mind to go that route. I was under the impression that CDs have always been cheaper to manufacture than LPs, even back when CDs first appeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people will be interested and if my LP set-up were in order I would be too. I'm not sure... I'm a big fan of vinyl and will probably go for the CDs. I really don't want to listen to take after take of the same song on vinyl. I will miss the 12x12 size booklet which is easier to read. If you don't buy the vinyl from Mosaic, you can get 10% off at many retailers (ie SoundstageDirect) lowering the vinyl price to $81. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningambulance Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I've heard the set and it's definitely worth owning. The material was edited for release in such a way (solos removed or shortened, studio dialogue moved from one take to another) that there's only one track which is identical between this set and the original disc, so this isn't even an expanded version of Sun Ship - it's a companion piece. That said, $90 for 3 LPs is crazy. If it came with a download card (which a lot of LPs do now) or a CD version in a plain envelope, tucked into the sleeve (also something I've seen with, for example, recent Blue Note vinyl reissues), you could tell yourself you were buying it as an objet d'art and stick it up on a shelf and stare at it, but as it is they're just driving people to the CD version, I think.

Carl Baugher Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I pre-ordered the Mosaic set and I have the CDs. Wonderful stuff and it's great to hear the whole session in chronological order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogdan101 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thinking about the Mosaic LP box... does it sound better than the cd version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've just ordered the 'Sun Ship' (as well as a few of the other LP sets). It will be interesting to see how it compares with my early-70s (original?) LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
