The Mosaic has a few more tracks than the Lone Hill, I think they're all just alternate takes.

I've been taken care of! Didn't have to give up my Mosaics, and will continue to scour the used LP bins for the Buck jams while listening to what I'm being supplied with. As for cross-dressing, well... let's just say I've got more than I'll ever need for that.

Who'd ever have thought I'd find the Disconforme edition at the local public library??? Well, I did. Brought it home and ran a quick A/B on "Life Goes to a Party." The Disconforme wins by a mile. Minimal surface noise and no loss of musical fidelity. Plus the only tracks are those for the actual tunes, so I don't have to skip over applause tracks. I am truly amazed at how good this sounds!

Good luck there, too. the small print in their Sunday ad said "minimum two per store", so unless you're one of the first two, you won't see that price either. True. However, outside of Sangrey (who's already said he's not going in there) and myself, how many other people in the D/FW area know/care about this box?

That's what they all say...

Everything's gone. I'm gonna delete this thread before the night's over. Thanks all!

I don't work for a hi-tech/software operation, but this movie still looked familiar.

Mine got cancelled as well. Then I noticed my debit card had been charged. I called Best Buy and they told me the supply had sold out. I said, Fine; why was my debit card charged? The rep told me that only an authorization had been placed on my account, and that the authorization would be gone in 24-48 hours. Hopefully, by tomorrow morning, these charges will have disappeared, and I'll go back to my original plan, which was to go to BB on my lunch hour and hold 'em to the 39.99 price. I don't have a problem cancelling the order. And really, was there any other way this was advertised other than by word-of-mouth? I'm not saying Best Buy shouldn't stick with the price that was on the website; but I do think that any reasonable person would realize that price was a mistake. I still hold by my theory that a disgruntled ex-employee set that price right before the weekend, before anyone else could catch it. Now, if those charges DON'T go away, then we got problems!

Perhaps it was a disgruntled ex-employee who set the price in motion for the weekend, as a final parting shot against their former employee?

I am looking to trade the following two Mosaic CD sets for the Buck Clayton Jam Session Mosaic: The Complete Blue Note February 1957 Jimmy Smith MD3-154 The Complete Blue Note Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Studio Recordings MD4-194 PM if interested. Thanks!

I hope the same thing happens when the Genesis box is released domestically!

wow. RIP. When I read that Johnny Hart died at his storyboard, I thought about Warne Marsh. Both men died while doing what they lived for. Amen to that. RIP, Johnny.

I was just over at HMV Japan and couldn't find the box. Could you provide a link?

Trane disc is gone. Other goodies still available!

Up with a new & improved title, a price cut on the Cream box, and the addition of two items. Act now while supplies last.

That ain't the Metallica I know.

Rangers swept by the Angels, led by Garry Matthews Jr., whom the Rangers should never have let get away. No pitching. Overrated offense. In other surprising news today, the sun came up.......

Added some LP catalog numbers that weren't on the original list, for anyone else who's obsessive about this kind of thing.

I'll take my chances with the hemorrhoids....

I love all of their 60's albums, and fully agree about introducing kids to musicianship. I'm one of those kids! I'm listening to Jumpin' at the Woodside - A Buck Clayton Jam Session and wishing I could get my hands on the Mosaic (or get the Lonehill reissue cheaply!)

Like I said before, mark my words. No joke: Suns turn rematch into a laugher By ART GARCIA Star-Telegram Staff Writer PHOENIX -- Depending on who's asking, the significance of what took place Sunday afternoon is either vast or nonexistent. Sounds about right. The Suns came into the latest chapter of the NBA's most exciting rivalry needing to win for their mental welfare, not to mention their Western Conference standing. The Mavericks maintained all along this game matters little down the road. So after the Suns took a shockingly easy 126-104 win at a playoff-frenzied US Airways Center and knotted the regular-season series 2-2, what really changed? "That's all it is, a season series, and we split," Jerry Stackhouse said. "It doesn't have anything to do with much. We still have a pretty comfortable lead. We just have to go out and close out the regular season the way we should, and we'll see what happens. "We know this is a team we could very well face again, but a lot has to happen for that to happen, on our side and their side. So it's been some great games, but unfortunately for us, they won the last couple. I'm sure their confidence is high about matching up with us, but we know we're better than what we showed." Can it be summed up better? Despite having their nine-game winning streak snapped, the Mavs (61-12) hold a six-game lead for the No. 1 playoff seed over Phoenix (55-18) with nine games left. The Suns, though, own two wins over the Mavs sandwiched around a 4-4 stretch in the span of 18 days. Considering the West leaders have three losses since Jan. 27, it's understandable why Steve Nash said his team has regained a level of confidence in recent weeks. "Not just for Dallas, just because we need that [confidence] back," Nash said. "Since the last time we played them, we've been inconsistent and disappointing. We need to start stringing some performances together to help that good feeling." Phoenix did that Sunday by beating the Mavs to the punch. Avery Johnson accused his team of not showing up and not concentrating, all the while complimenting the Suns on executing their game plan. "They deserved to win," the Mavs coach said. Nash orchestrated another superb floor game, working the pick-and-roll to perfection. Open looks were there for everyone, as the small-ball Suns had four players score at least 20 -- Amare Stoudemire, Shawn Marion, Leandro Barbosa and Nash -- and shot 64.8 percent from the floor, the best single-game mark in the NBA this season. "They really had us going both ways," Dirk Nowitzki said. "Everybody was really struggling. To allow 50 points in the paint, we never really found a way to contain their offense." Nowitzki never found his, missing 12 of 18 shots, but the Mavs were down just five (93-88) with 9 1/2 minutes left. Shooting flurries from Josh Howard, Jerry Stackhouse and Jason Terry helped offset Nowitzki's struggles, and it appeared another close finish was in the works, just like the previous three meetings. But it never happened. A 9-1 spurt built on a Barbosa 3-pointer, and six points coming in the paint, pushed the Suns' lead up to 102-89, and the Mavs never threatened again. Compounding the loss, the Mavs didn't escape in the best shape. Already playing without an injured Erick Dampier (sore left shoulder), the Mavs had Nowitzki turn his left ankle for the second time in five days after he landed on Marion's foot in the fourth quarter. Howard needed four stitches to close a gash over his left eye from a Barbosa elbow. The Mavs will move on and, they promised, take something from their worst loss since the 101-79 setback Dec. 11 at Utah. "Obviously, we don't like to lose," Devin Harris said. "We learned a little something about ourselves. We're not invincible." THE DIFFERENCE The main reasons why the Suns scorched the Mavs on Sunday: Hot shots: Whether it was substandard Mavs defense or simply outstanding offense, the Suns shot 64.8 percent from the floor and 57.1 percent from 3-point range. Depleted depth: Many consider the Mavs the deepest team in the league, but they didn't show it. Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, Josh Howard and Jerry Stackhouse combined for 94 points; the rest of the team had 10. Dirk struggles: Dirk Nowitzki hit his first two shots of the game, but then shot 4-of-16 the rest of the way, finishing with 21 points. He pulled down just six rebounds and tweaked his left ankle again in the fourth quarter. The Amare effect: In his past two games against the Mavs, Amare Stoudemire has posted 65 points on 26-of-32 shooting and collected 19 rebounds. IN THE KNOW Four-checked The Suns were too hot to handle Sunday, shooting an NBA season-best 64.8 percent. Leandro Barbosa, Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash and Shawn Marion combined for 96 points on 68.6 percent field-goal shooting. A look at Phoenix's big four: Player FG FT Pts Barbosa 10-17 5-6 29 Stoudemire 10-13 4-4 24 Nash 7-11 7-7 23 Marion 8-10 4-4 20 Totals 35-51 20-21 96

Wish they'd have another one. Soon!

You bet!!! That and the companion album JAZZ GIANTS '56!

Goodness, I didn't know these guys made four more albums together. I saw a used CD sometime back of one of their albums. This looks wonderful, and the clips are insanely enticing. This could very well be the first Mosaic I've ever pre-ordered!

I love Pete Turner's photos. But SUGAR absolutely grosses/creeps me out. So much so that when I got the CD, I reversed the booklet so that the pciture facing out is of the woman's face.
