My set just arrived! Playing disc one now.

Sad news. He has been among my favorites for since the 1970s. I'll have to spin some of my Towner CDs as well.

I joined this board on March 11th, 2003. Still regularly check the board and only post occasionally.

Saw this thread referenced elsewhere on the board and thought I'd resurrect it. I have two sets that I got directly from Mosaic years ago that came with booklets, but in plain boxes. So, I am looking for the actual outer boxes that came with the sets. 1. Shorty Rogers 2. Herbie Nichols I check eBay and Discogs every once in a while. I recently snagged a George Lewis outer box on Discogs, which knocked that one off my list. Still looking for the other two.

I fondly remember those Firestone records, and while some of the stuff was pretty lame, the memories I have of those Christmas songs being played at Christmas time as a kid are not. A few albums I enjoyed then and have CDs of now are the Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song, Christmas with Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell - That Christmas Feeling, and Harry Belafonte - To Wish You A Merry Christmas.

I am not at all familiar with Bob Crosby, so I've decided to pre-order it to rectify that situation. Looking forward to hearing it.

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
