Well I'll be damned!

Offered for sale is a great Mosaic box set, The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Sidney Bechet. This is the rare 6 LP box set.   Sidney Bechet - The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Sidney Bechet 6 LP, Mosaic, 1985 Limited Edition of 7500 copies (this is copy # 0764).   Outer box: The outer box is in VG condition. It has a half-inch horizontal tear to mid right side of the front cover of the outer box. There is also some shelf wear to edges/corners of the outer box. And, as is unfortunately uncommon with these older type of Mosaic boxes, the black spinal tape is torn the length of the spine and the front outer box panel is loose from the rear outer box panel. But the silver spinal lettering is still nice and sharp. Vinyl: The 6 records are in VG+ condition. All are nice and flat and play fine. Booklet: The booklet is in nice shape.   $62 (+ $8 media mail shipping). Pay pal friends/family. U.S. shipping only

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered these. It doesn’t say they are paper sleeve but that’s a bonus for me! Also, it’s says they are sacd only, so are they actually hybrids? I also preordered these 2 sacd “Kind of Blue” in stereo and mono. Looked interesting. 

Cadence Magazine Newsletter Friends, the Hampel family needs our help. If you knew Gunter, worked with him, listened to his music and appreciated his example as an independent self-implementing artist, we hope that you will find a way to make a contribution.  Help spread the word by sharing this post! Notes from the family: “Ever the maverick, Gunter was uninsured and spent the last ten years of his life battling COVID and cancer, which led to six figures of hospital debt. His family now faces substantial medical bills from Berlin and Göttingen hospitals and clinics, along with funeral and memorial costs. Despite these challenges, Gunter’s legacy continues to inspire musicians and fans worldwide. We invite you to support Gunter’s family as they honor his memory and contributions to music and art. Please stay connected as we plan for his June funeral and August memorial. We appreciate Gunter’s worldwide fans and look forward to sharing his music and memorabilia in the near future.” @ruomileehampel https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-gunter-hampels-legacy

I read this a while back, so good.  A good antidote to “bebop brain”.
