I just saw this 2 CD set at Bull Moose Music in Portsmouth for $29. My first thought was, "Why are these two dissimilar recordings packaged together". My second though was, "WTF! The Sonny disc is 24 minutes and the Horace disc is 35 minutes. If you're going to package two dissimilar recordings together, why not put them on one 59 minute disc!!"

We agree on that! ;)

So Bull Moose Music wants $30 for a single CD! Ouch! That's even worse then. I haven't paid $30 for a new single CD release in decades. Used rarities, sure, but not for a new CD. I think I'll pass.

All Swiss Radio Days Series releases are single discs so far - and there were several cases where they released two separate volumes from the same concert (Basie, Hampton and Roach come to mind, but there were more). No need to pay 30$, though 20 years ago that was what I would pay for any full price disc in local stores ... either way, it's a worthwhile listen for sure (plus I'm a fan of the entire series anyways).

Yeah, that Bull Moose place sounds either uninformed or sleazy, like the local guy here who was asking 30 bucks for used WB/ECM LPs in the 90s because "ECM is an import".

What's weird is that Bull Moose almost always has the lowest prices around here for new CDs. This is clearly an anomaly. For example, they have all the latest Xanadu CDs for $13.97.
