JSngry Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Did you guys who have gotten shipping notices preorder? I thought I had, but then the release notice came out and I looked back and discovered that I hadn't. OOOPS! Just wondering how far back in line I am at this point.

jazzbo Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yes, I preordered the minute I could online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I thought I did, but I guess I just remembered doing it without actually having done it. Hate it when that happens...Oh well, I'm in the pipeline now. It'll get here at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 My library (where I work and play) has it on order, thank you voters of Multnomah County! You're very lucky. My local library has had to cut the hours they're open, due to funding cuts from the local government. (My take is that the politicians feel that the more ignorant the public is, the better is is for politicians.) Definitely no $ available for Mosaic boxes here.

I messed up once because I preordered using paypal and somehow I wasn't returned back to Mosaic and the transaction didn't go through, though I thought it had.

I messed up once because I preordered using paypal and somehow I wasn't returned back to Mosaic and the transaction didn't go through, though I thought it had. Remember that the set was originally supposed to be 6 CD's and then they upped it to 7 CD's. If you pre-ordered when it was 6 (I did), they sent an email out that you had to respond to authorizing the extra charge for the 7th CD. If you missed doing that, you probably had your pre-order cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my amazement and delight, we buy almost everything on Mosaic and a fair bit of Bear Family too. Great and expensive library, beloved here in the Peoples Republic of Portland.

golfcrazy1984 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Mine arrived today, looks great! Can't wait to listen to it. Any impressions yet? Mine will be arriving today! I can't wait! I'll post first impressions either tonight or tomorrow. I know the music is going to be great, but am interested in the remastering (I am sure Malcolm Addey did a fine job).

colinmce Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I won't get mine til tomorrow even though it was among the first to ship. I hate living in the boonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Well, the Monterey 1965 stuff certainly is a mess (and the sound isn't great either, though it's OK). Not a Town Hall 1962 mess, but not a success either. It's more convincing in its UCLA incarnation. I went through and sampled the sound on the other sessions. The sound on the 1964 Monterey material seems greatly improved over the vinyl and the original CD issue, though there are still issues with the source recording. But this is essential for the version of "Meditations on Integration". The Concertgebouw material is from a good mono source, Jaki Byard sounds great. Danny Richmond's drums are somewhat muffled, the only real problem with the sound. The horns sound good. The 1964 Town Hall Concert and the 1965 'My Favorite Quintet' Minneapolis recordings sound spectacular, and they form the bulk of the set. Overall, I'm well-pleased.

I am definitely going to buy this (probably early next year) and it sounds like I won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Got mine today. The sound on the Town Hall Concert surprised me; the arco bass just sounds amazing. No Mingus fan will be disappointed with this set. Mine is #849. I pre-ordered the minute I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
