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.

It's been discussed ad nauseam on this Board that, unlike the big boxes, the Selects are not shipped in sequential order. But that's OK--feel free to add some more nauseam.

not at 2001 yet. The regular price in germany's online shops is at 75-80€ for the Nelson. The Dizzy is not yet available but announce for end of August at 90+€ Those 2 sets and the Buddy Rich set should all be available at 2001 sooner or later, since they are 10,000-copy Verve sets like Basie, Farlow, Jazztet, and Eldridge, all of which have been available at 2001.

Since there are now 2 threads on this, do we get to take 20% off on these sets?

Me too--in my second order.

Now don't be gettin' my hopes up, Lon.

I wish they'd carry the Blue Note Transcriptions box.

One For All and Charlie Parker

I was notified that my Mingus Debut set was shipped on July 28th.

Did you know that catesta is responsible for all wars in the world?

No Dude--you're the only one in the world. Which is lucky for you, 'cause I understand that they only had one set to sell.

But, then what else do you have to obsess about???

Just placed my second order, and moved up (down?) a couple of categories in the poll. But it appears that I'm still not alone in that category. That'll happen with my third order. Actually, no more orders for me--at least until Blue Note and Verve announce their summer blowout sales.

Guy, you read the Philadelphia Daily News?

And Johnny Griffin is also on "Complete Live In Paris 1965."

I saw an interview with his mother the other day, apparently they're Quakers or something (?). She had to ride a bike (in her very conservative clothing) over to someone else's house in order to watch the Tour finale. Apparently they don't own a car. Maybe the USPS Team should start scouring the Quaker & Amish communites for strong bike riders in the future I doubt they're Quakers. Quakers don't shun modern technology--just war. They're probably Mennonite, if not Amish. They live in Lancaster County (about 80 miles from here), the heart of Amish/Mennonite country.

Well, it left Sacramento on Tuesday evening, and hasn't been seen (or tracked) since. ...unless someone pulled a "montg" on me and took it off my porch I think it's sitting somewhere right next to your first Zweitausendeins order. And HEY! Bob Dylan is America's Wolf Biermann! (Or is that Minnesota's Robert Zimmerman? )

In light of the allegations (and likelihood, IMO) of Landis having doped up in order to make his miracle Tour victory, I think an apology would be a nice gesture. ...FN Americans! Hey, Dude--he's from PA, and not far from Philly. ...FN Texans!
