Glad I could help. Yeah, I saw one used in the amazon marketplace for around $500!! I have skipped now to the last CD's, and this is good stuff too. Just listening to Mood Indigo from 'popular Ellington'...wow!!
I was surprised too. I am almost positive that the last time I looked, two months ago, it wasnt there. I have been enjoying this set, so far I have listened to the first 6 Cd's, and the sound is great, actually, impressive.
I went to my local Borders with my 25% coupon hoping to buy one of the RVG's I was missing in my collection. I checked the box set section and saw the BIG Duke box, for $400. It was too tempting and could not resist, specially since I got 100 dollars off with the coupon!!
I never compared prices before on this, and I see one on ebay going for $200 right now. So, did I do good or should I have shopped around some more?

Three reasons: 1) too expensive for me, 2) I already got some of these dates and 3) I want to collect as many of the K2 remasters. I compared a couple with the regular CD's and I heard a big difference. I dont think the box was remastered like the K2.
I have the Japanese version of the box set which is K2 remastered.
Wow!! I did not that exist! I am going to check that out, but I know its going to be expen$ive.

I want to start collecting Miles records after the Birth of the Cool sessions and before he joined Columbia. I got all the Relaxin, Cookin, Workin, Steamin, Walkin Prestige albums. So, where should I go next? Any outstanding sessions I should get first?
Thanks. Yeah, that was the other question I had. Is the box really an essential purchase? I have the plugged nickel box and like it very much, cant imagine not having the complete set. But this box doesnt seem to get that much praise in other reviews I have read.
Hi,
New at this forum. I searched on the topic but seems like everyone got the box with the complete performances. I cant buy the box, so I have to choose between buying either the Friday or Saturday edition. Which one did you like best and recommend?
Thanks
