J.A.W.

I looked at the cost of the Threadgill and figured that the Spanish site would only save a small amount of money. Unless tax/duty is due for direct purchases from Mosaic. In that case most sets from the Spanish store are cheaper.

How long does it take before Jazz Messengers stock new Mosaic sets? By the way, I don't think it's fair to blame Royal Mail for the tax/duty you had to pay, it's the law - though that handling charge is indeed ridiculous.

Jerry Valburn thread:

Weizen is right. I've tried time and time again to lure people who love jazz to this site, but more often than not they are turned off by the constantly recurring negativity, bickering, sarcasm, arrogance and paternalism of some members - or so they tell me. Others have left because of that. I know, there are jazz boards that are worse in these respects, but that's not the point.

Yes, they are, as is the whole series, "Jazz at the Concertgebouw". Oh, true! Thought they were from Scheveningen - even better news, then! There was a very active jazz scene at the Concertgebouw in the 1950s. These days it's mostly classical music.

Yes, they are, as is the whole series, "Jazz at the Concertgebouw".

Maybe some members are using browsers with activated adware/spyware blocking without knowing it.

Noticed that arrow button a while ago. When I click on it the "Recent topics" section disappears, only to reappear when I click on it again. No Amazon widget as long as Adblock is activated.

I can see the sidebar and the ads at the bottom when Adblock is turned off on both Firefox 17 and IE 9. By the way, I ran a virus and adware/spyware scan and everything's fine here.

No problem as far as I'm concerned, Larry, From my moderator days I know all too well things don't always go as intended.

As he said in his first post above Brownie posted two threads about the Marcus Miller accident ("sent it twice"); in one of them he said that he wanted it deleted and asked how it could be done, which is why I posted to the thread that only the admin and moderators could do that and sent Larry a message about it, forwarding Brownie's request. That's all. I never suggested that both threads be deleted. Note that when the first post is deleted, the whole thread is deleted with it.

Security breach or not, when I disable Adblock the widget and the ads at the bottom appear. They go away again when Adblock is re-activated. I'm using Firefox 17.

Do purchases from Amazon Marketplace sellers count? I was wondering about that too. I seem to remember that it does, but I'm not sure.

Nope. There are plenty of LP-sets around on the various Amazon sites and eBay, but the CD-set I missed out on on eBay a few days ago seems to be harder to find. I'll keep searching, though, both here and elsewhere

As I said, they sound different. You yourself implied that they sound different in your first message in this thread (or were you just saying the Frogs were the ones to get over the JSPs without having heard the JSPs?). Is it possible they took the Frog discs and adjusted the sound? Yes. Do you have any evidence? No. It's fine that you dislike and distrust JSP, but slinging around accusations is not helping anyone. Yes, I am aware of some of their shady doings in the past. Then again, I'm also aware of some of their non-shady ones. I said I wouldn't be surprised etc. - that's not an accusation, just a personal thought. Don't tell me what I can post or not. And for your information, I did hear some of the JSP tracks; your insinuation is totally without merit and insulting. Welcome to my ignore list.

Late weekend bump

The new EU copyright rule covers all less-than-70-year-old recordings that weren't yet in the public domain when the rule came into effect; that includes 50-to-70-year-old recordings that hadn't been released yet in one way or another before the rule was changed.

Didn't you click on the links in posts #1 and #14? These CDs can be ordered from those stores, the latter in English.

Yep, that's it. I disabled Adblock for this board and the widget appeared. Unfortunately, at the bottom of the page all kinds of ads appeared as well... I'd like to help the board, but this is a major nuisance.

Don't see it either.

I think this one's on Philips, not on Deutsche Grammophon: Mozart- Piano Concertos No. 15 KV450, No. 21 KV467, Alfred Brendel, Academy of St. Martin-In-The-Fields, Neville Marriner DG 400 018-2 “Made in W. Germany by PDO” M-/M- $9

I wouldn't be surprised if JSP "borrowed" the transfers/masterings Davies did for Frog and which were paid for by Frog. Frog never released any multi-CD box sets (just one 2CD-set) and I don't think they will start doing that, especially not with releases they have already issued on individual CDs.

I guess it's the same kind of deal as Dragon had with Swedish radio, who own the tapes of the Stockholm broadcasts. I don't have details, though.

I am looking for the Ike Quebec/John Hardee Mosaic 3CD-set The Complete Blue Note Forties Recordings of Ike Quebec and John Hardee (Mosaic MD3-107) in excellent or better condition. I am willing to pay a good price for this set and I can offer the 2 Ike Quebec and 1 John Hardee CDs with the same material on Japanese Blue Note (TOCJ-66015 - Ike Quebec - Blue Harlem / TOCJ-66016 - Ike Quebec - Topsy / TOCJ-66017 - John Hardee - Tired) in part exchange. My only payment option outside the euro zone is PayPal. Please contact me via PM (the envelope button at the top right-hand corner of this page) if you're selling yours or know where I can get one. I just missed out on one on eBay due to a technical error... Thanks.
