    I'll ask Scott about the planned Lucky Thompson set.
  2. J.A.W.
    Do you know when the set with this particular cover was released? Amazon France, Amazon U.K. and Amazon Germany seem to have it (Miles Davis en concert avec Europe 1), but unfortunately there's no picture of the cover.
  3. J.A.W.
    The asnwer can be found earlier in this thread.

    Another one who has left the building...

    Wow, €250! What's so special about this LP and the one the OP is after, other than that they were apparently non-commercial releases in limited editions?
  6. J.A.W.
    You've made your point regarding this particular thread. My post was more a general observation about a moderator's interpretations and decisions and the reactions they often evoke - or should I say provoke...

    It wasn't my intention to post here, being a former moderator, but a discussion in another thread prompted me to post this comment there:
  8. J.A.W.
    Please note that this is about as close to being an explicit solicitation of an unauthorized copy of a commercial product as can be tolerated. Such solicitation is against forum policy and can result in editing or deletion of posts, or even entire threads. Going forth, discretion, please. And good luck on your quest! This is exactly what the problem is here. Even though a moderator might not agree with one of the board rules (and there aren't that many compared to other boards) he's supposed to at least warn members who (threaten to) violate that rule. It can be any rule, not just the one mentioned above. If he doesn't, he can be accused of not doing his job, which happens with some regularity; if he does he'll get bashed over it, if not worse. In other words, he's damned if he doesn't and he's damned if he does. A moderator must have a thick skin here; I didn't have one. My problem, surely, but I can imagine why people are not exactly standing in line to become a moderator.

    Did he have any idea what happened? Was the CD damaged?

    I've ordered a few times from them online and it wasn't a good experience: the orders took ages and the last time they sent a wrong item; I returned it when they asked me to, and then everything went silent... Long story short, I had to move heaven and earth to get my money back. Never again.

    Re: The Real Thing and the upcoming Shaw Mosaic, see here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/73164-upcoming-mosaic-woody-shaw-the-complete-muse-sessions/?p=1276419

    Scott told me The Real Thing isn't included because Hayes was the leader of that date. The Mosaic only includes Shaw leader dates on Muse.
  14. J.A.W.
    I guess only the people at Mosaic can answer the The Real Thing question I've asked Scott about it.
  15. J.A.W.
    It'd be nice to visit DC (and also NYC) again, but unfortunately that's not going to happen in the foreseeable future. Great musea. My first priority is the renovated Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, but that's another topic

    As was mentioned several times on this board there'll be no more Selects. I missed that news ... bummer. I miss the Mosaic Singles series as well. I have just about all of the 32 Jazz Shaw reissues, but I'll definitely be picking up the Mosaic set. I was told the Selects were not cost-effective, on the contrary. I'll miss them too, it was a great series. At one time they were thinking about a Select with Dave Bailey's leader dates on JazzTime, JazzLine and Epic (despite the complete set on one of the Spanish/Andorran labels) and - if I remember correctly - also about a Chico Hamilton Select with his early 1960s Quintet with Gabor Szabo and Charles Lloyd.

    I guess it's safe to say that the sound is better than on the Classics. I never doubted that for a moment. But how much better? I was being careful because when it comes to sound quality opinions vary and discussions about it tend to turn into heated arguments, if not fights
  19. J.A.W.
    Congratulations. Looks like a great job.

    Just noticed that Mosaic will release another Woody Shaw set, The Complete Muse Sessions (7 CDs): http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=255-MD-CD It's scheduled for release in June 2013. Remastered by Malcolm Addey.

    Hopefully you won't be hit by a tax bill. These couriers, like for instance UPS, have a habit of sending tax bills after they have delivered the goods, often with hefty handling fees. Good luck.

    I see. I did have some of those LPs, but I don't remember how they sounded. The pressings weren't that great.
  25. J.A.W.
    CDs only, since late 1995. Why do you ask?
