Thanks for the kind words. Obviously, I'm biased having worked on it, but I do think this set, whether the music is to one's specific taste or not, is in the tradition of the best of what Mosaic has done.

Many US sellers on discogs no longer ship to Europe because of the high costs and paperwork. So that's the reverse process. We know what happened to trade between the US and GB after Brexit.

Jimmie Rowles - Shade and Light (Ahead FR, rec. 1978) with George Duvivier and Oliver Jackson Good one!

I completely agree.

Listening to this beauty for the first time in a few years, and for the first time ever on vinyl:

Does anybody here have that CD? It's on YouTube!

Yep, I've heard this! Part of the Tiberi holdings, I'd imagine? Release the tapes!!!

Lord has this entry: John Coltrane (p) solo Live "The Showboat", Philadelphia, PA, June 10, 1963 After the rain RLR Records (Sp)RLR88657 [CD] Coltrane on piano?!?!? https://www.discogs.com/release/5076049-John-Coltrane-Trio-Quartet-More-Live-At-The-Showboat-1963 "McCoy Tyner was late that day, and so Trane played the first three tunes and most of the fourth in the unusual trio format of tenor sax/bass/drums! CD also has the only existing testimony of Trane at the piano!"

I received my box set on Friday and had a chance to listen to the first 2 CDs yesterday. I was familiar with the music from those CDs due to having those albums on vinyl and I can say that the sound quality on this Mosaic box set is very analogue-like. It is one of the best sounding Mosaics I have heard. And, as others have already stated, the booklet essay by Mark Stryker, is outstanding. Very well done. Just an overall great box set. Kudos to Mosaic for doing this!

And that's where most of the good reissues come from these days.

It could also affect Discogs where many of he discs come from out of the country.

I've assumed this is going to KO cdjapan as a personal buying option. Probably why they've been offering a lot of coupons the past couple of months. If collection issues ever get solved, there'll be a price increase of more or less the tariff rate. That could be manageable, but I don't think the collection thing will get worked out any time soon. Merchants like Dusty Groove could also get hammered. It's conceivable that they've been importing in de minimis (< $800) increments, which would put them in the same boat... So I fear the import CD/LP market is going to dry up for a while.

This again:

640×640 60.8 KB Miles Davis Quintet “Live In Europe 1967 The Bootleg Series Vol. 1” Sony Blu-Spec CD edition, disc 3 It’s been a long time since I have spun live '67 Miles.

Sounds good. 👍 Yeah, it's a shame that those albums were never issued on CD. The music certainly deserves much wider recognition.

I'm just getting ready to needle drop this one as well as her other Tappan Zee LP, "Ancient Dynasty". I've given up on them getting released on CD at this point.

Joanne Brackeen - Keyed In (Tappan Zee/Columbia, 1979) with Eddie Gomez and Jack DeJohnette

E3 Records was a legit label that released at least two CDs of Bill Evans’ early recordings.

Hopefully NOT! What could be better than an artist keeping us up on their latest recordings. Based on the tracks available for streaming it seems like the new one, on a few tracks, takes some steps in a direction Vijay Iyer and Mike Ladd explored with their three collaborations.

Now on to LP 2 of Lucky Thompson's Illuminations with Cedar Walton, Sam Jones, and Louis Hayes originally released as I Offer You Equally brilliant as Goodbye Yesterday!
