will be doing likewise as soon as it appears over here

Jazz Messengers has stock. It didn't seem a good idea to wait given the stellar review over at The Free Jazz Collective and the CD being limited to 1000 copies.

The 17-disc Oistrakh EMI set was only $10.50!  :D

In our area we don’t have many record shops. I thought one that had, art one point, multiple locations had gone out of business. However, I discovered today it’s still in business and went over there today and bought 

Grant Green Funk in France

Monk’s Les Liasons Dangereuse

Coltrane’s Heavyweight Champion

I could have probably found them cheaper on line but it’s also important to try to support local record stores, even if it cost me a few extra $.

Good move. No decent record stores in my area, but I do the same with the local independent book store.

Phish:  Baker's Dozen.  Individually on livephish.com ($299).  Perhaps the greatest RnR transpiration in my 33 years on the planet.  Pending release of a deluxe box set consolidating all 13 shows with a cache of flea market accoutrements likely indicates the pending death of individual installments on CD; thus, purchase of all separate shows for 60% of the new glambox will be one of those future laments if eschewed.  If you don't know about the band's legendary 2 week MSG residency at this point, then I can be of no assistance.  The Caps won, eh?!  Ovie #8!!

I couldn't resist this for $15.17 though I have the big box. The Master Takes.

It's better for listening. I started with the 2CD when the big box was released, much later bought the big box when it became a budget release in the EU. Then I bought the 4CD set you got, and the improved mastering by Vic Anesini from 2007 is another reason I am able to listen to this without distraction.

My latest purchases are all about Melvin Rhyne:

Japanese guitarist with Rhyne and Grady Tate (!)

All-Star band with Rhyne, James Spaulding, Al Kiger, Larry Ridley, Alonto "Spookie" Johnson, etc. - loose jam session affair, it seems. https://www.discogs.com/Uncle-Funkenstein-Together-Again/release/4017046

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

Announcement of the deluxe CD box set @ about $500 slated for release later this year - and with accoutrements lost on my Spartan style - sparked anxiety about the continuing availability of individual shows in physical form, so I belatedly pulled the trigger on the latter.  Certainly the most extraordinary live performance RnR event in my lifetime.
