That, and the fact that they get a nice profit on their shipping charge, since Media Mail for a CD is maybe a buck while they are getting $2.59 each. Brings their price more in line with a lot of other sellers. First class for one cd is usually $1.25 - media mail is $1.59. Caiman also has the advantage of no inventory, very low overhead and a huge customer base via Amazon. From the looks of the corporate structure, they have a big tax advantage.

I had this issue with Newbury Comics (Sonny Rollins Plus Four), but after I notified them they immediately sent me the K2 version before I even sent back the OJC. Guy Well, it's a couple of weeks and all I have is crap from Moviemars and the cost of returning the cd. Never had anything but great service from Newbury. They seem to ship the same day.

Complete sentences please. I want to understand what you are saying. Also, are we talking about Uptown or Nessa? I understood the discussion was currently about an Uptown. Why so difficult, Horny?? FWIW, I was responding to "Who has the rights to 'dem rekkids?". Try Amazon, Barnes and Noble, J&R, City Hall, Jazz Loft, True Blue, etc. It ain't that hard. North Country is just one source.

Moviemars has been fine in my experience. They also seem to be accurate in what is in stock and what isn't. I'm currently dealing with a problem from Moviemars. They advertised the K2 version of Bill Evans "New Jazz Conception". I received the same old 1989 version.

You are not paying attention. I love the Joseph date.

Wish I still had a copy of this. Bud was pissed about the issue (since he received no money) and suggested I issue it to kill the Blue Rhythm record. He didn't want money from me, just wanted to punish the other guy.

Two points: The return address on the package is no indication of the mailing point. I've ordered from them for a number of years and the differences in label printing software and packaging indicated different "fulfillment" points. It is likely they have deals with a number of suppliers to make mailings for them. I only order from them when the price differential is worth the wait (and sometimes hassle). Orders from them typically take 5-7 days longer than other Amazon orders. I had a 2 month problem with them on a $60 order. They kept sending me phony progress reports and eventually refunded my money. Since they surely have "terms" with suppliers and the customers pay in advance, they make money with our money beyond the delivery (or not) of goods.

This was supposed to be issued by Uptown about 10 years ago. Uptown was in the process of licensing it from Universal when their legal department stopped it because they had a label called Uptown. They said we'd have to change the name of the label. I think there was a worthy bonus track too - not sure if it was an alt or another tune. Nimitz had an acetate reference disc (and/or a cassette), but the master tapes are in the Universal vault. I hope FS had access to the tapes but I wouldn't count on it.

Depressing no comments yet. I wish I could see both. Thanks for the information. -
FWIW, the original artwork was b/w printed on a cream colored, textured stock. No type on the front. The type you see above was from the back of the "gatefold" cover. The current reissue is a better repro of the original intentions. The original was lovely but probably anti-sales.

From what I can tell, the Stan Getz "Gold, Happy 50th Stan" on Inner City (a 2 LP set) is the same album as the Steeplechase releases "Live At Montmartre, Vol.1" and "Vol. 2". I have more than 50 Getz albums. I can tell that this one is probably not one of "the best" from a critical analysis standpoint, but it is one of the Getz albums that I play most often. If you are interested, I would say that you should get it. It is not a compromised fusion album like some of his late 1970s material. It is a very enjoyable listen. The Inner City release was a reissue of the SteepleChase recording. Not great but really ok material.
