Rooster_Ties Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) I suppose this is probably impossible to find now (only came out 6 years ago). Anyone happen to have a line on a copy? https://www.discogs.com/es/Various-The-EGO-Recordings-Of-Benny-Bailey-Sal-Nistico-Dusko-Goykovich/release/7296953 https://www.dustygroove.com/item/626593 Only just noticed that I've had this on my Dusty Groove "Want List" for at least 4(?) years, maybe longer? No idea when I added it, and I'm just noticing again now. And looks even better on paper now, than it apparently did when I very first saw it (which may have been before I ever heard (or even heard of) Sal Nistico. Any comments on the music?? How much is this worth tracking down? Edited September 22, 2018 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Definitely worth tracking down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nistico-Benny Bailey starts at $18 on discogs; all but one shipping from Europe. The Goykovich higher than that, all copies outside of the US. I got interested in the box sets due to the existence of the Horace Parlan with Wilton Gaynair - that's $24 right now, all plus international shipping. If I recall from the liners this was a musician's label with modest distribution, modest print runs, and modest success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) The LPs were all over the place over here back then. IIRC Joe Haider was involved in the label. When the label folded, many copies where sold at low prices. I'd say they gave a very good impression of a vital part of the German jazz scene with the pool of players involved. I personally like the Fritz Pauer (Billy Brooks is great on it), the Vince Benedetti (an excellent example of the McCoy Tyner Quartet's influence on the local scene), and the East Of Isar LP best - although that latter band was smokin' a lot more when heard live. There's not a bad album on the label. Edited September 23, 2018 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 agreed with Mike, those are tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 So common long before the turn of the century, particularly in Europe. But are they common now? Or priced cheaply? Even at $70 the box set is not poorly priced, for good digital transfers and booklet, containing 4 LPs, vs LP costs individually which are unlikely to be minus ticks and pops. Especially if you're shipping to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have a couple 3rd party sellers with copies for $120 (and $235) -- which is way too rich for my blood. I *might* have been tempted to get it at $75 -- maybe -- but it would have taken me a week to quit my hemmin' & hawin' about the price. I think(?) my price-point is more like $60, though lord knows I'd be happier if I could pay more like $50. In this day and age when there are 5-CD mini-sets available brand new, and legit (admittedly without any liners), for well less than $25 usually (even with shipping) -- it's a little harder to justify plunking down what would have been ~80 for just 4 CD's. (Then again, I have occasionally spent over $40 for just one CD, so it all depends on what it is, and how much I really want it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 It's gonna cost what it cost, until it doesn't. What it will cost then, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 I've got an eBay auto-search set up for this now, so I should get notified if/when it turns up there. Often if I'm patient enough, things will eventually turn up on eBay at a much better price. May take 6 months or more, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
