Yes, but I get credit for asking discreetly. PS - 75.

You didn't answer my earlier question: did you mention the class action lawsuit for infliction of emotional distress?

It should show up there eventually, along with the Nelson and Rich sets. In the recent past, they've had all of the older 10,000-copy Verve sets at one point or another. My guess is that it will go for 30 or 40 Euros.

HA! Literally at the same time you were typing this post, Erik, I was typing a PM to John asking him the same thing! My Monk Prestige box finally arrived--along with the rest of my Zweitausendeins order--this past Saturday. Definitely takes a bit of the sting out of the endless wait for word from Concord.

The solution is obvious--you need to send your set to conn.

I ordered one on 7/24, but conn ordered his on 7/18 (even though he likes to pretend he'll do it in the future on 8/18), so it looks like I'm SOL. I did have a bunch of singles in that order (including some for Future Boy), and haven't heard a thing about them.

Did you tell them about the class action lawsuit we're filing?

You mean I should Stitt or get off the pot? Well, given the reaction here when my latest Zweitausendeins order showed up in today's mail (and she doesn't even know about the Concord orders yet ), I don't think I'm going to be placing any Mosaic orders in the near future, 10%-off sale notwithstanding. It's "Running Low" or nothing for me, at least for a while.

Yes, but when Paul speaks, people listen. (Or was that E.F. Hutton? )

Definitely good advice, Paul. Now David, at exactly what time was your shipping notice sent, and at exactly what time did you place your order on 7/19?

I think we're all going to be waiting forever. Paul, why don't you call on Monday and ask them what's up. Given that your 7/18 order contains only the Coltrane box, they should be able to tell you definitively whether you're going to get it. And if you get the same crap they've been giving the rest of us, ask for a supervisor.

Damn Berkeley radicals. Oh, I guess that was before your time. You sounding like Berigan or Wheezie. Take your pick.

I'm looking at the Parlan, Stitt, Capitol Jazz, and Donaldson. Which, if any, I'd get now? That's a different question.

.....My only consolation is that if neither Concord nor Zweitausendeins come through by the end of the month, I can then justify an order from the Mosaic sale. Unless they can keep you hanging for two + weeks. I'm guessing by now, they're capable of it. Doesn't matter--I got 'em beat. If their orders don't show up by August 31st, I'm Connecticut-bound (virtually speaking). And maybe even if their orders DO show up, so there!

Ugh! Thanks for bringing up another sore subject. My recent Zweitausendeins order supposedly shipped on July 28th, and still hasn't arrived 2 weeks later. I know they say to allow 3 weeks, but my previous orders arrived much more quickly. It's a conspiracy, I tell ya--they're all out to get me. My only consolation is that if neither Concord nor Zweitausendeins come through by the end of the month, I can then justify an order from the Mosaic sale.

The doctor is IN!

And the show was done in PHILLY (well, for most of its run).

My guess is that the Coltrane box--like the Evans box--is history. You may be right. I wonder if what they're doing (and not telling anyone) is holding the Trane orders in case the product shows up. Could be, but I have a lot of singles on the same order (#6100, 7/24/06), and would hate to see some of those singles run out while they're waiting to maybe find some more Trane boxes. It's being run by Berkeley work-study students, I tell ya.

That's easy for you to say--you've actually gotten some product! I'm beginning to think that Concord turned this whole thing over to some Berkeley work-study students on summer break (they confirmed that they are shipping these out of Berkeley). "Hey guys--empty out this warehouse by the end of the summer, and you'll each get 500 bucks!"

Well, I was told the exact same thing more than once, and today is the 14th business day since my July 24th order. We'll see if I get a shipping notice today, but I'm not holding my breath. Meanwhile, the Coltrane box has been pulled from the sale pages yet again. You'd think that a company the size of Concord--now owning both Fantasy and Telarc--would run this operation more efficiently.
