Dude, stop thinking so regionally, and start thinking . . . NATIONAL TOURS.

It's ok, guys-- we're the home of Lilly the inventer of the granddaddy SSRI, Prozac. It's good for bizness. That's the way I feel about the Philly area, home (loosely speaking) to most of the rest of the pharmaceutical industry.

Congrats, Chris! I'm looking forward to seeing you in Philly--and don't worry, I'll bring the Prozac.

. . . or in the case of a Verve box, all of the above.

Looks like you should feel right at home in Philly, Chris.

But on WHICH list???

Maybe this just proves the old adage that "ignorance is bliss."

Shows how much YOU know--the BOX is 90% of the cost of each set.

Yes, but the bottom line is, Michael is unconvinced of the sales potential of a full Mosaic box. Going with the smaller, less costly Select approach will minimize the risk of a full set that doesn't sell. Hey, and what about sales on a 10 CD Mildred Bailey or a 9 CD Four Freshmen box? Experience is the best teacher?

Brad, you missed my last message from Michael, which I relayed in another thread. He made it pretty clear to me that the three Select concept is going to be a go. This may have been asked and answered before , but why 3 selects instead of a single big box?

No phone number, but a follow-up email to "Claire" usually does the trick if there's no response to the first one (they usually respond within 24 hours). I've always had good experiences with their cusotmer service, even if it occasionally takes an extra nudge or two.

Lookin' SWEET! B-)

The Mosaic site now says about this set: "This set is expected to be released Friday, April 29th." Unusually specific.
