But doesn't that create a rip in the fabric of the Universe, or disturb the space-time continuum, or something like that?

SS, if you don't already have it, I strongly recommend that you also get the Definitive 2-CD set "Complete Live in Paris 1965." This has live Wes like you've never heard him (if you've never heard this CD, that is ) from the same period as the Half Note date, except with Harold Mabern, Jimmy Lovelace, and Arthur Harper, and with Johnny Griffin guesting on a few tracks. The music and sound are both terrific, and the length really allows Wes to stretch out with some great soloing. And although this is from Definitive, the usual complaints don't apply since--to my knowledge--this was never a U.S. release and--presumably--all licensing requirements have been met. FWIW, here is the rather detailed AMG review with sound samples.

← well well well well well... this image was actually the first I wanted to post, but somehow I found the fishy one more fitting this afternoon... not, past midnight here, this is definitely the better: You know, google image search is a funny thing when you're at work and bored ← I think her name is Sepia.

Maybe he was hoping for that light-brown patina? ← Please! When it costs an extra $30, we call the color sepia. ← sorry, I don't understand: ← From Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:

I ordered 15, and yesterday received 14 (1 now-OOP cancelled) in decent shape (2 jewel cases slightly cracked--not a bad percentage). I'm happy.

USED Hank Mobley that sold for $125.50 PLUS shipping, and the listing even quotes from and CITES the Mosaic web site! P.T. Barnum's famous quote is alive and well.

I don't know if this will help you like it more, but it recently sold on Ebay (here) for $510.

USED Basie Clef/Verve Fifties already at $142.50 PLUS shipping, with 2 more days to bid. Guess a cheaper brand-spankin'-new set direct from Mosaic ain't good enough.

John Patton Select, all 3 discs:

Ask Concord.

If you have a broadband connection, you might want to download the 2004 catalog as a 23.1 MB PDF. Go to the home page, click on "Catalog", and then place the cursor over the words "Ordering Info" at the bottom of the window. You should then get a pop-up window (make sure any pop-up blocker is disabled) and, if you scroll down to the bottom of that pop-up, you'll see hyperlinks for Mac and Windows download of the 2004 catalog. Incidentally, I also requested a printed catalog through the site, and got no response.

Only one??? (A certain deal on the Tal Farlow box comes to mind )

Thanks. Now, I gotta get this set. ← The ol' reverse barometer.

Oh ye of little faith.

So why hasn't this set, 5 days after it went OOP, been enshrined in the sanctified "Mosaic Collections No Longer Available" list yet? Could it be some sort of Stalinist Mosaic plot to pretend that this set never even existed? Pepper Adams' mysterious absence from the cover takes on a whole new meaning. Definitely something to think about:

Ordered 15 CD's on June 8th. Today (6 days later), got an email saying 14 shipped, and 1 was cancelled.

That's crazy talk....you'd better get with the program, Ace!! ← No, that's rational talk--if he wants to get with the program, he needs to go crazy.

. . . now that they safely can list "The Complete Motown Jackson 5 Studio Sessions" in "Upcoming Releases."

That depends--if the only ones that can be called "Doubletime" had that awful stripe in the corner like this: Then indeed, it is a short list. ← The question is--for me, at least--whether "Doubletime" was actually a discrete series of issues for BN (a la RVG or Conn), or was merely the designation they briefly gave to any 2-CD set issued in the mid-90's: I had always assumed it was the latter.

So, maybe he actually IS on the cover of the Mosaic box, but you have to be really observant to see him.

That is majorly cool.

I received an immediate email confirmation when I placed an order 4 days ago. Since then, nothing, and everything still shows as "Processing."

Happy Birthday greetings from the other side of the Commonwealth!

I know the feeling well. My wife and I spent this morning bangin' away . . . . hangin' pictures. Happy Birthday and enjoy the cake!
