Also, maybe they would have less problems if they didn't list their regular CDs at $19.99. Just a suggestion. Reminds me of Blockbuster Music back in the '90s. Insane prices. I remember seeing the Beatles Red and Blue albums and the Rolling Stones Hot Rocks set selling for forty dollars.

Went to mine, which is closing also; same junk they had last time I went (6 months ago). The only decent stuff they had were a few box sets (Parker Dial/Savoy, Evans Secret Sessions, Pepper Hollywood Sessions, Miles 65-68, Ornette Atlantic), but not at a price that made them at all worth my while.

No idea about remastering, but I can say that I listened to Our Man In Jazz and it sounded weirdly good-- Bob Cranshaw was right there.

With a brand new Columbia edition of the complete Stockholm 1960 set?

No Now's The Time. http://www.sonnyrollins.com/cd_view.php?cd_id=38 That's definitely a great deal for waht you get, but somewhere, somehow you gotta have Now's The Time too, I think. Ah, thanks. Hard to keep them all straight as their availability is so sporadic.

Not much in the booklet about his debt but he has spoken about this before, namely in Lock's Forces In Motion.

I should say all of his RCA albums-- the extra material found on the 6xCD Complete RCA-Victor recordings set is obviously lacking.

This has likely been posted before, but if anyone's interested, the Original Album Classics set containing all of Sonny's RCA output is available for 10 bucks new on Amazon. I actually didn't know this existed and just picked one up at the record store-- I thought I was getting a deal at $35, but oh well. link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00...p;condition=new There are also Monk and Miles versions, but those are far more haphazard.

Yeah, I was fairly sure this was the case (Indeed!, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, City Lights, The Cooker, Candy), but wasn't certain if anything else was included, like perhaps the session with Cliff Jordan or something.

He says in the introduction that she cooperated, but withdrew her support after reading it, though not her contributions. She decided that it was "mean" to John. I'm torn on this; it's no secret that John was a complicated guy who could definitely be cruel and made dubious decisions regarding his treatment of the women in his life, but like I said above, I think Norman is more tawdry than he needs to be with regards to the latter and is liberal in his psychoanalysis of the former.

Thanks, that's invaluable!

Could anyone post the discography for the Mosaic Lee Morgan Fifties Sessions set? I'd like to construct it as best I can with individual issues.

I liked the Norman alright, but he's a tad opinionated and a bit tawdry.

I'm astonished no one mentioned this:

Spring and Green Street were both in print up to the time of the reissues. I bought McMaster editions for 11.99 apiece a couple months before the announcement for the RVG editions.

I wish I knew why they add the ECM CDs they add. Very few make it in, and I'm hoping the recent Miroslav Vituous and Steve Kuhn discs will be there.

On the opposite end: just scored the Don Cherry Mosaic for $40!!!

Mine was in perfect condition. Listened to disc 1, it's perfect.

Ordered the Ellington, thanks for the heads up.

Go for it, it's good. I think there should be a Tyner Impulse! Mosaic with all of his dates for the label-- high rate of unavailability on those ones. They could even throw in Jimmy Garrison's Illumination.

Got my Cohn/Green/Newman set in the mail today, can't wait to give it a spin.

That's actually kind of an interesting thought. Wonder if anyone ever pitched this to Mosaic? They do sell one of these for their Jimmy Smith set on True Blue, but it's majorly pricey. http://www.truebluemusic.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CVR05

I was wondering about that. There are a couple sets-- namely my avatar-- for which I'd love to have a framed copy of the cover (i.e. the booklet cover).
