Funny you should mention them--they happen to be one of the biggest flooring wholesalers in this area. See? You're smarter than you think.

I'll buy it from ya for half price. I'm still waiting for that PM, Mr. Jazz. Any day now.... Agg-ressive and his high-pressure tactics.

Hodges is now in "Last Chance." Speak now, or forever hold your peace. Or head to eBay.

It's now officially in "Last Chance." Going, going, . . . .

If you email or call Mosaic, they'll send you an empty Hodges box.

Nope, no orders for me this time (although I did place a couple for other board members ).

I think you'll get them. It's been taking BMG a bit longer than normal lately to get orders out, in my experience. Maybe due to the volume, with all the good sales that are going on. Sometimes they send things to you and they don't post them as being shipped, too. Also, you can't go by the shipping date on the order history page, once it appears. Often, that page will show the shipping date as the date the order was placed, and then several days later you'll receive a shipping notice from them with a later (and presumably the actual) shipping date.

Just received this email from Laurie Pepper's site about a 2-disc 1981 Croydon, England concert to be released in April: The sample on the site sounds terrific!

There are some phenomenal prices on the classical boxes, also (e.g., the 12-disc Neville Marriner Complete Mozart Symphonies for 10 bucks and change). But maybe that classical stuff's a bit over your head.

PM sent. You stud, you. Not really--I sent him a PM saying that Big Al would probably do it for him.

I am a rock I am an iiiiiiiiiiiiisland. Big Al is actually The Rock???

PM sent.

That's a very nice disc--IMO even better than the sound samples would indicate (just like I told you about the Hodges Mosaic ) .

Gotcha covered, Agg. I'll PM you to make sure we're still on, and then I'll FWD the total to you. It's things like this that make this the best hang on the internet! Thanks Al, you rock! PM sent too. You'll love this from the confirmation page: Total Price: $57.73 Your Savings: $346.59 It doesn't say this on the page, but I calculated it out: $2.14 per disc! Gee Agg-ravation, you know I would have done that for you if I'd seen your post in time. (I can say that now even if I really wouldn't have, and still get credit for being a helluva guy. )

Just noticed they recently put something at the top of the Johnny Hodges page that I've never seen on the Mosaic site before: http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=200-MD-CD

It still shows up in "Running Low" and not "Last Chance." Tom, maybe the Mosaic guy was just trying to give you a plausible alibi to use with your wife.

Doesn't seem to work for me, it's coming up as $34+ . Have you (1) logged in and (2) removed any codes from the promotion code window on the left?

Crazy, crazy low prices on box sets (e.g., Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions for $8), with free shipping for 5 or more discs (that's DISCS, not sets). No code--remove any codes to get this deal.

Code please? No code, Agg-amemnon. If you have a code in the promotion code window on the left, remove it. Blue Trane's right--CRAZY low prices (e.g., 8 bucks for the Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions), with no shipping once you get up to five discs in your cart (which you do with just one set like the Granz). Just go to the Jazz tab on the top of the home page, and then to "Boxed Sets" under "Explore" on the right, and start browsing (and buying ). Of course, same crazy low prices for box sets in classical, rock, etc.

Flurin, the Rich set definitely has been issued in a Universal edition. In fact, that edition recently was available from an American half.com seller for an incredibly good price (of which a few board members were able to take advantage ). So keep a sharp eye out!

Definitely the former. If it is definitely the former, then why is there a danger that it will sell out by this weekend? Or is that your way of saying that Tom was given false information? They've definitely sold far fewer than 7500--the copy I received last week is #5631. The set has no doubt timed out, and they're selling whatever they have left in stock (they don't manufacture the entire potential run of a set at one time, and usually sell out whatever they have in stock when their license for the recordings expires).

Definitely the former.

I hope not. ... I can handle cracked jewel cases, loose discs and all that, but busted prongs is a pain in the ass. Gotta pull the damn thing apart to get all the artwork out and stuff it it a new case. ... If you can buy new cases that hold 4 CDs, get a few for me MG Here's one (I think): Lots of that kind of stuff available here and here.
