TedR Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I was doing searches on various topics and came across numerous posts in 2003 and 2004 advising to buy the Mobley next because it would surely be sold out soon. Here we are almost 12 years later and the Mobley is still available with numerous sets sold out that came out after the Mobley with no sign that it is close to being listed as "running low". Why is this not selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 It is probably selling but someone isn't paying attention, for your benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Maybe Cuscuna struck a special deal with EMI regarding this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Probably has something to do with the licensing rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 It is a real oddity that this one is still out there. Like Chuck said, though, don't look a gift horse.... It is a wonderful set. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I have to say, I purchased this set because of what in retrospect was a silly completist impulse, expecting it to be routine and semi-generic hard bop. I guess some of the albums in this set fall into that bucket, but overall, I think it's a very strong combination of musicians and compositions. If you think there's any chance that you'll like it - you probably WILL like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbbfam Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I just bought this set. It is excellent. One of the best Mosaic sets I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Great set, glad I decided not to sell mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hank who?Maybe that's why it hasn't sold out yet. It is a must have. Hank is so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 One of my first Mosaics. Great choice too. Hopefully it stays in print forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I have most of it on LP and/or CD already but there are a few outlying sessions that I think I'm missing. Much fantastic music here. I'm somewhat tempted to consolidate and get the Mosaic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 we're talking abt the cd vers, rt? i bought a 2nd one maybe 5 yrs ago i got a # in the 4700 range out of 5 and the reason i bought it then is cause it finally came up as running low in the catalogue and i thought it was time to do it. you mean its still for sale when all the others from that time are long sold out? i dont get the catalogs anymore...:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I don't think caralogs are sent anymore. I haven't recieved one in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
