Ron S

Don't hold your breath, Ron. I've received no word on my order of the 18th yet. It was the Trane box set, so maybe those go slower or something. I'll let you know when I get mine. Don't forget: some of the CDs in my first order are yours.

First order (No. 6100) placed on July 24, no word yet either.

SIXTEEN F'N DAYS since I placed my first order, and still no shipping! And then there's my second order. I'm no longer enjoying the abuse.

Who?

Well this order arrived today! The box was a little worse for wear, but the most interesting thing was that someone had scratched out my address, and hand-written over it was an address in Philly (to a Mr. "Ron S" or something). Luckily, my friendly neighborhood postal worker caught the mistake and made the correct delivery. It looks like that bottle of champagne I gave him for the 4th of July paid off this year! Meanwhile, my July 25th order is still in transit. Or . . . is it really in CORPUS CHRISTI???

they are teasing us I, for one, enjoy the abuse.

None that I could see.

You guys are missing the whole point here. It's not what's ON the CD that matters, but rather how neatly and tastefully it's gift-wrapped. See the cover--DUH!

Now back up to 218.

Was it a large order? Those seem to be taking longer.

Just since this morning, the number of jazz CDs in the sale has gone from 218 to 216. Hopefully that means that they really are maintaining real-time inventory information, so that those of us still waiting for orders to be shipped will get everything we ordered.

No.

hmmm....me too. I hope you didn't get the last one! No need to worry--it still shows up on the site, even though several other titles have been removed from the sale pages (including the Evans Riverside box). Yep! Shipped today! Now I'm worried that you got the last one, since my order was placed on 7/24.

DAMN! I'm late to this party! How much of Lon's CD collection have you guys already played? Have you made it to the T's yet? Happy Birthday, Lon! And best wishes for a great, relaxing year at home with your wife in Austin before the next birthday comes around.

A Miles set?

eyy, my pleasure! as long as I type it all up, I might as well share. Glad you like 'em. You should add the Rollins Freelance to your alternative booklets index, here, as well as any other additional booklets you've prepared.

in case anyone wants to know: it's plain CDs like the Sonny Rollins Freelance Years Set... no booklet The Sonny Rollins Freelance set I got from 2001 does have a booklet. In fact, the booklet and the small box containing the set were made in the US and are the ones included in the US sets. Only the discs themselves were made in Germany. mine is like that as well, but I got it some years ago already. The other one I got in this sale came in a single 5CD case without anything else. On the other hand, I did still print out a copy of your sheet for each jewel case in this set, as I have for every other set I have for which you've prepared one (regardless of whether the set came with a booklet). It's much easier to take out your sheet than the whole booklet (especially the larger ones) every time I play a CD, and your discographical information is much better organized and easier to follow. I've been meaning to say this for a while: THANKS, JOHN!

Why the heck are you doing that when you could be over at conn's house using his computer?

I can only conclude from everything that you said--especially the part about Lon--that you must be talking about this:

Which makes your accurate and insightful analysis of the situation all the more impressive.

And there's a scout troup short a child?

Somwhere on this Board--there are something like 4 threads about this sale now--someone posted that they asked Concord the same question, and were advised that the lower price would still apply.

I would, but I understand he's very busy remastering the entire Debbie Boone library--he mumbled something about the first issues in Concord's new 128-bit K3 series.
