  2. Yeah, I guess I misspelled it, in a hurry to get a post off before I went off to lunch.

    I'm lenient about spelling, mine and others; we've been down this road!

    C'mon Lon, it was just a joke, a reply to your spelling joke in the Japanese reissues thread the other day. I did post a ;) , didn't I...

  3. Oh, I meant that I have placed a NUMBER of orders to this outfit, and this has happened to me several times, well maybe five times.

    I guess I had that worded a little weirdly!

    Errr... I was trying to make a spelling joke... :) OK, not funny... :(;)

  4. They must be headquartered on a planet which defines the word 'AVAILABLE' in a way which differs from that of us Earthlings.

    This is all too common:  Get 'em in the door with BIG promises and then stiff 'em.  Fill the order as best you can and then blame the unfilled balance on out-of-date listings -  laziness for which NO ONE is ever responsible.  (Maybe it's our fault?)

    I'd call this either entrapment (of a sort) or false advertising.  I guess were not expected to bitch and moan as we're not charged for our ultimate disappointment.

    The Internet Police are W A Y too lax on this bullshit.

    ALL venting aside, considering that I ordered nearly (GoD help me) THIRTY CDs and they stiffed me on four, I shouldn't complain.

    WOW!

    ;):g:tup

  5. how do you find cotrotempo's service?

    I have only ordered the once from them , at the start of July i ordered 3 Ellery Eskelin CDs after asking for recommendations on this board . Last week i hadnt heard or received anything so i Emailed them , they replied they had one but they will be ordering the other 2 at the end of August! I was hoping for slightly faster service than this.

    Are they normally quite reliable & I've just been a bit unlucky ?

    They're extremely reliable (they filled all but one of my orders), but they're also very slow... (must be the scorching heat in Europe at the moment :wacko::unsure::blink: )

  6. The Andrew Hills are also listed as not available.  This is the fourth time this has happened.  I don't know why they bother to list them in the sale.

    Don't know which Hills you're looking for, but Italian internet store ControTempo might be able to supply them. You can order in English :), just click on the title etc. The page can take a while to load.
