The Benny Morton And Jimmy Hamilton Blue Note Swingtets Surprisingly good. I found it on the Bay and I didn't have any other editions.

From the 79 I own: The Roulette Live Recordings of Count Basie The Decca Studio Recordings of Louis Armstrong The Lester Young/Count Basie Sessions But it's impossible not to mention the Blue Note and Pacific Clifford Brown, the Serge Chaloff, the Anita O'Day, the Ellington Reprise, the Lionel Hampton... And I'm still listening to the new Goodman's (I'm halfaway)

The New Goodman, just arrived Trying to digitalize it and put the tracks in order with the Forrest's and Lee's boxsets

Very interesting considerations, thanks. Only in the last months, when I noticed I had 57 OOP sets on 99 (minus the Davis LPs), I started thinking - like a joke, in the beginning - to complete the collection. For Dave James: Yes, the sets I "dislike" were a problem also for me: but I had some bad surprises also from issues I was waiting from their announcements (the second Hodges, i.e., please don't kill me); so I'm open to any surprise... Thanks for the Quebec/Hardee info! For cliffpeterson: yes, you are right: it's certainly the case of the Kod Ory set, and I think also of the earlier Bechet. This is perhaps the reason why the Commodores and the Nat King Cole big sets, expensive also as new, are not so rare: they often surface on Ebay. There are also some "myths", like the two Roulette Basie: I paid an high price for both, thinking them were scarce, that isn't, as it seems after a lot appeared on the Bay. For Bfrank: In effect, the Manyard Ferguson can be a case similar to Basie. Thanks again all, and forgive my english

Hello! I was a "lurker" from years (!) and I hesitated to log in only for my ugly english. But I am an avid Mosaic addict, and where I live, in the far east provinces of the Empire (Italy) is very difficult to find OOP Mosaic sets. Of course, I ever used Ebay like a gold mine, but now, with "only" 42 items from my goal (all the sets minus the Miles Davis LPs), I meet some difficulties with sets that are priced very high. Which are the sets really "rare", in your opinion? Obviously, it's not a matter of quality... I already have quite all this music in other editions. Thanks a lot
