  7. Shirley Scott- Soul Sister

    in Re-issues

    Posted

    Just found a copy of the Shirley Scott  “Soul Sister” CD on the Prestige Legends of Acid Jazz Series which lists 13 tracks, the last being “Now’s The Time”. The copy I have only contains 12 tracks - anyone else notice this ? Anyone have a copy with 13 tracks? 

     

     Thanks,

    Bob 
     

  9. eBay customer service

    in Offering and Looking For...

    Posted · Edited by bebopbob

    Hope everyone is safe-

    I opened a couple of requests last week to obtain refunds on eBay orders from a seller that never showed up (not from any members here on the board- the CDs were purchased from a well known Japanese seller on eBay) and was told in an email response from eBay to wait until June 3, 2020 for eBay to “step in”.
     

    I waited until June 3rd and followed the directions eBay gave...go to “purchase history”- locate item- view request details and ask eBay to step in. The problem is that the CDs I ordered were from March 2020 and are no longer on my purchase history.

    Has anyone experienced this problem? Is there a telephone number to call. I emailed eBay customer service and the email came back undeliverable. I then logged into eBay and was directed to some service to pay $5.00 which I found completely incredulous.

    Very unhappy with what appears to be a lack of customer service with eBay.

     Thanks and stay safe

  18. Classical box sets

    in Classical Discussion

    More wishful thinking for CD box sets:

    Erich Leinsdorf - Boston Symphony Orchestra:  Complete RCA Red Seal Recordings 

    Guarneri Quartet - Complete RCA Red Seal Recordings 

    Cleveland Quartet -Complete RCA Red Seal Recordings 

     

    and up for air on:

    Music from Marlboro- Complete Columbia Masterworks Recordings With Marlboro Music Records recordings thrown in as a nice bonus - especially as there is no festival this year 

    Modern American Music Series- Complete Columbia Masterworks Recordings to follow on the heels of the Fromm Foundation Complete Epic Recordings 

     

     

  21. Shipping delays

    in Offering and Looking For...

    Posted

    Hope everyone is safe -

    Although there are extensive shipping delays in light of the coronavirus, has anyone, particularly in the US, received any CD shipments from Japan? I ordered some CDs from three different eBay sellers almost 2 months ago in early March 2020. To date, I have not received any of them. I have checked the USPS site for tracking and see that “label had been created” but nothing further-no movement.

    Has anyone on the board experienced the same? Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. 
     

    Be safe,

  22. Marlboro Music Festival- Cancelled

    in Classical Discussion

    Posted · Edited by bebopbob

    I received an email today that the 2020 Marlboro Music Festival has been cancelled this summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year would have marked the 70th season. Although wise and prudent, the cancellation will surely create a void for chamber music patrons this summer.

    In lieu of the festival, perhaps Sony Classical will issue a box set of the Complete Music from Marlboro recordings that appeared on Columbia/CBS Masterworks from the late 1950s to the late 1970s with replicas of the original album jackets displaying the beautiful Vermont landscape and classic photos from the festival.

    Although the more popular recordings with Rudolf Serkin and Pablo Casals were issued on CD in the early 1990s in celebration of the 40th season, there remains many recordings that deserve proper CD issue including sone that have been issued only as CDR pressings from ArchivMusic - in addition, there’s a late 1970s LP of recording of Hummel’s Piano Septet / Boccherini Cello Quintet that has never been issued on disc (CD/CDR) to my knowledge.

    Perhaps such a set would also include the recordings from Marlboro Music Records which were issued in generic grey covers with orange lettering.

    Wishful thinking or maybe there’s someone out there in Sony Classical reading this that can make this happen!

    Stay safe 

    Bob
