I got mine from this Canadian seller, who seems to keep it in stock:

Mingus Sextet - "Meditations"
I'd heard the versions from Cornell and the Jazz Workshop, but the piece never made much of an impression on me until I stumbled on this video earlier in the week (I've been on a big Mingus kick). I returned to the Cornell verison with a renewed appreciation for this truly stunning composition.

Howdy to all.
My google alert for "esp-disk" brought me here.
Have you received that Holy Ghost box yet?
I am the only one doing shipping, so I had TONS of orders to pack up. I didn't send out the box sets until end of last week / early this week.
Cheers!
Not yet, but maybe today...I'll have to see when I get off work.
I can tell you've got a lot on your plate, so I appreciate the hard work you've been doing. It's no worry, I'm sure the box will turn up within the next couple days.
Thanks for checking in!
It's a small gripe, but I wish I could combine shipping on their Amazon items. A $1.99 item becoming a $4.98 item still makes it a fine deal, but knowing it all ships from the same location makes bulk ordering feel like a rip off-- on Amazon's part, not Newbury's.
Just a heads up, EmArcy Canada released a box set containing all the music from the 1989 Montreal Tapes. Amazon.ca has some copies; I managed to find one on Ebay for $38 US. A great way to own this music all in one place without having to pay used prices for the individual Verve US discs on Amazon or Ebay.
I'm excited to hear this stuff. What line-ups!
Well we're talking OOP Mosaic here, "reason" is relative. The Buy-it-Now auctions are stupidly steep, I agree, but the regular auctions are what they are. $80 sounds pretty reasonable to me for a Shank/Cooper or the like.
The deleted Selects have been all over Ebay lately. There are several Richards, Slack, Pepper, Gordon, Brookmeyer, Jones, Pearson, Shank/Cooper, PJPT, Reece, and Patton sets listed right now.
I got my ESP order yesterday (Hilversum, placed 2/7). My JazzLoft order (Sunny and Milford), placed the day before, has yet to arrive 11 days on.
The ESP package was entirely hand-marked so yeah...very small operation. Also, I have received no shipping notice for the 2/6 JazzLoft ESP order, but I DID receive a shipping notice for a JazzLoft Hatology order I placed on 2/10, which seems to substantiate the theory that JL is getting their stuff from ESP before shipping-- or something.
