Big distinction between the asking price and what really sells. No one will ever buy that Amazon copy. The most expensive Ebay auction I've seen was $182 and the cheapest was $62. I am looking to complete my Select collection and this one is the White Whale.

He just headlined the Iowa City jazz fest. Wish I still lived there to've seen it.

Come to New Orleans sometime!

If I could keep only 10 jazz records, this would be one.

One last bump, looking to sell the Rivers.

Eldridge is on hold.

Bump w/ new addition.

T-Bone is sold. I'll consider offers on the other sets.

Never heard of this one.

Bump with a new item & some price drops. Really looking to move these fast.

At the Golden Circle, Vol. 2, though I do really like The Empty Foxhole.

They seem to have gone out of their way to pair an album that was readily available via the Impulse! 20-bit reissues or the Verve LPR series with one that was not. A waste in my book.

Turrentine is sold. Others still available.

Sorry for the schizophrenic nature of this thread. Just trying to get these out the door. A few more ... Shipping will be $10 per box. The Complete Blue Note Sam Rivers Sessions [MD3-167] - $50 (small tear on box cover, minor water damage to booklet) The Complete Blue Note Albert Ammons & Meade Lux Lewis [MR3-102] - $40 (This is the LP set with wear to cover.) Payments accepted via Paypal.

I buy these whenever I see them, they're very handy. One of the best IMO is the Prestige Mulligan/Baker which collects many of Gerry's Fantasy sides and some of Chet's Prestige sessions with George Coleman. And the Arista Savoys are beyond essential. One more nod to the Bluebird chronological sets which issued more or less the complete recordings of Goodman, Shaw and Miller; I have the Goodman and Miller series which set me back less than $20. Still looking for the Shaws all in one place. Bechet, Henderson, Hines and Tatum were also represented in smaller sets; there is also the classic Hampton box set. Any others?

Scooped up John Carter's "Variations" on Moers w/ Bradford and Newton for $12 on Ebay. Carter's records are always priced ludicrously high on Amazon and Buy It Now yet I've scored several of his LPs at auction for very little with no competition. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

Thanks for the info, very helpful. I basically want to use it to keep up on new jazz which is something I simply can't afford to do buying CDs. I'll have to think about it.

So perhaps a stupid question, but I'm considering joining the site and would like to know how exactly it works. So you have your monthly plan for say, 40 songs or whatever. Does that mean your monthly fee covers that many songs and after you exceed that number you pay on a track by track or album by album basis? I found the site very unhelpful as far as explaining how it works. In short: if you have a 40 song plan, you don't pay for 40 songs per month beyond your monthly fee?

Shank/Cooper Mosaic Select at Amazon for $40 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000260ARK/ref=sr_1_39_olp?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1312127732&sr=1-39&condition=used

Or you could just get the Complete Blue Note box for $15-20 on Amazon.

Cut-outs. They get the same overstock as FYE.

AS a 5xCD set I think that's pretty reasonable. I just meant the pricing is off in relation to the other 3 volumes.

http://aboptv.com/ceciltaylorartmuseum.html If I had $500 I'd ... track down a copy of Berlin '88. But if I had another $500 I'd definitely devote it to this worthy cause.

Unless the packaging is somehow different, that's complete crap. But maybe that price point is just what it takes to get this set on the market in 2011.
