Emailed Mosaic...... and it's fixed!

Yes I see that now. I had to go back to see if I was crazy and discovered that there's a disparity between a couple of pages on their website. When I go to my bookmarked page - mosaicrecords.com - I see a display of just the photos of the cover of 10 available sets arranged in a table format. Scrolling down to the bottom of that page, there's a corresponding list of those same 10 sets.- listed by title and price with a tiny photo of the cover. From either location on that page, you can click on any of them, see the full page for the set including description, more photos, audio clips and can add them to your cart. Up in the banner area at the top of the page, when I click on Limited Edition Box Sets - just below the Mosaic logo at the top of the page - I am sent to the page to which you are referring. It's a list of sets with the cover photo and a longer description of each set. On that page, there are 12 sets listed. The two additional sets listed here are the Savory, as you pointed out, and also the Henderson. If you go back up to the top of the page and click on the Mosaic logo, you are sent back to the page upon which I based my post. Total of 10 sets, no Savory and no Henderson.

Looks like the Savory set is gone.

After years of waiting for a decent price on the CD version of this set, I found one for $160 on Discogs. Great music.

FWIW, this album is available on Spotify and Amazon Music. Same cover, same tunes as the LP that I saw on Amazon, PLUS the 23:40 version of "All The Things You Are". If there's any album information, I don't know how to find it. Definitely sounds like it was recorded at the same time as the other songs. I've never seen a CD release of this date, and I'm guessing that the LP version does not have it based on its length.

I preordered and paid through PayPal, so payment was immediate. Of course, I got a receipt from PayPal. I also immediately received a communication from Mosaic acknowledging receipt of my order, along with an order number, shipping address, date, order quantity, price, and product. It also states that a tracking number will be provided when it’s shipped. I did have a thought about credit cards being charged at the time of pre-order in this instance. It has to do with possible delays in the actual release date extending beyond the 30 day hold period for credit card information in Mosaic’s system.

On disc one. So far........beautiful

As Dex would say - "Keeping it Real.......Alex Riel"

Glad to see that Mosaic released this. I'll get it, but am in no hurry as I do have most of it already. So - it's going on my Christmas list. Supposedly, I'm hard to buy for. Imagine that. So, I'm going to hold off and make it easy again. That's how I got the Clark, Hubbard, and Henderson sets. I hope that Mosaic continues with their Blue Note set releases. There are still quite a few opportunities from my standpoint, but I know that Mosaic does not always see it that way. I really don't keep tabs on how readily available BN artists are on CD these days - which is always a factor when determining set viability - but I count among the potential opportunities Wayne Shorter, Lee Morgan, Donald Byrd (the non Adams stuff), Horace Silver, Kenny Burrell, Chick Corea, The Three Sounds, Jimmy Smith, Grant Green (sans Sonny Clark), and maybe even Dexter Gordon and Herbie Hancock as it's been so long since their BN sets were released. I have some other thoughts as well, but have mentioned enough already.

I'm curious why the "Now" tunes that were recorded in 1969 were omitted. Those would be the first five songs on the 2004 release of "Now" that also includes some live material from 1977. The set is not sold as complete - with these omissions the reason for that AFAIK. I know that the vocals would not be everyone's cup of tea, but the music on those songs is very strong IMO.
