I was looking at ebay CD listings from Rarewaves, a British seller I have frequently used. Their listings are now carrying the message "Due to US policies, import fees for this item will need to be paid to customs or the shipping carrier on delivery." So I will be avoiding all foreign sellers until/unless this gets resolved, which will definitely decrease my overall purchases and increase my reliance on DG, Amazon, DeepDiscount and other US sellers. I used to put in 1 or 2 three-figures purchases from CDJapan each year, and several smaller purchases from various British sellers on Ebay, but not now. And several of the types of Japanese and EU reissues I used to buy from overseas sources are now going to cost more than I'm willing to spend if I was to buy them from US sellers. First world problem, I realize.

I sold a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt on Ebay. I knew the cross border shipping would be an issue so I marked the item as a gift with a value of $10. The U.S. buyer was still hit with a $50 custom charge.

Thanks. I’m actually ordering a bunch of CDs from s. Korea. Debating on which method to ship them. EMS or FedEx.

Original mono LP. I checked my Dusty Groove order history. $45 in 2001. The world has changed.

Classic V-Disc Small Group Jazz #279 – 11 CDs
JSngry replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Bring on that Big Band set ASAP please!!!! -
1945?!?!?!

I checked in on a record collectors’ forum and it seems like LPs are getting returned to origin country right and left. These should, of course, be exempt. Total chaos.

I got something from S Korea without issue, surprisingly, via EMS. It was one book & several CDs. A lot of EU countries are not shipping anything to the US, which is surprising considering the tariffs are greater on non-European goods. It’s all enraging to be honest.

In 1989 or 1990 my father organized a jazz dinner event in Brooklyn. I was recently out of college and did not drink, but somehow I wound up being the bartender for the event. Shamek Farrah and Norman Person were the leaders and Sonelius Smith was also in the band. I do not remember the rest of the musicians. At the time I had only been listening to jazz for a couple years and had no idea who the musicians were. I just knew that it was my father's friend "Tony", who if I remember correctly he collaborated with to organize the event with. Around that same time I had a copy of Impressions, but still did not know about the statute of Strata-East in the community. It was sometime after that I became more knowledgeable about the label and the musicians on it. I enjoyed reading this article and the memories it generated.

Just received a “Jazz is back at Kennedy Center!” email with no additions to schedule beyond what I described above.

Black Box: The Complete Black Sabbath 1970-1978 (8 CD/DVD)
pglbook replied to pglbook's topic in Offering and Looking For...
I will keep this listed for sale until end-of-day Sunday, September 21. This is the lowest I can go on this. I think it would be hard to find it at a lower price. It is essential for the BS fan. The only reason I am selling is because this is a duplicate as over the years I ended up with 2 copies. I would never sell my other copy. That will be a permanent fixture in my collection. Thanks. Offered for sale is an amazing, and not very common, Black Sabbath box set: Black Sabbath - Black Box: The Complete Black Sabbath 1970-1978 (8 CD/DVD), Rhino, 2004. Everything (outer box, CDs, CD sleeves, DVD, hardcover book) is in Excellent condition. The outer box shows a little shelf wear as is typical of this box set due to the black felt covering of the outer box but it is in better condition than I usually see it in. Also, one of the inner CD cardboard boxes (there are 2 inner CD cardboard boxes that each hold 4 CD digipacks) has a little rubbing to one side edge from it being pulled in and out of the larger outer box. This is probably the best Sabbath CD box set, in terms of mastering (sound quality is amazing) and packaging. Check reviews on discogs (see link below). There are not many copies for sale on discogs and the lowest-priced copy currently for sale there from a U.S. seller is $147 ($130 - shipping+ tax) so I have priced this well below discogs prices. See discogs link below. https://www.discogs.com/release/689...-The-Complete-Original-Black-Sabbath-19701978 $100 (+ $10 media mail shipping, which includes postal insurance) U.S. shipping only. I can only ship on the weekend. Payment by pay pal friends/family. -
What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.
Aggie87 replied to EKE BBB's topic in Miscellaneous Music
That's a good one. I'd like them to do another covers album with the current lineup, but I suspect that won't happen. There is also this live material, but it's never been released physically: https://stevekilbey.bandcamp.com/album/space-bootleg -
What live music are you going to see tonight?
Aggie87 replied to mikeweil's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
Enjoy! He's playing here tomorrow night, and I try to see him every time he comes around, but we're going to the Phillies/D-Backs game instead. Bought those tickets many months ago, and this is their only visit to Phoenix this season (unless the D-Backs get into the playoffs and they match up again). -
Fake Bob Crosby Mosaic on Jazz Messengers?
jazzbo replied to colinmce's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
I think they were just sent information/hype statement and a pic to put up when they are available. And they jumped the gun, there was some crossed communication. Just my guess. I had heard a while back a Crosby set was a possibility so I'm not surprised to see it as coming soon. -
Thanks for the tip. I checked out the site and, while they certainly have a lot of Mosaic box sets for sale, their prices seem quite high on most of them, especially given the recent downturn in the Mosaic box set market. In general, both demand and prices having been going down on Mosaic box sets for some time now. But, having said that, their Mosaic Count Basie Roulette Studio box set (which I already have) is a very good deal on one of the rarer and pricier Mosaics to find.

This seems like a really interesting release. I'm up for it! -
I am sold so I just grabbed the lowest cost copy on amazon of the Sandke. Last year and into this year I have been finding and greatly enjoying those Moss CDs on the label. Heartily recommended.
