Mine arrived yesterday. I had ordered a couple of slicks and the Mingus 1959 booklet so it shipped from Stamford. It arrived before the Armstrong.

It looks great.

Is this the 1960 Jazz Cellar session? I've not seen this cover before.

Hi Dan - I've just donated. Good luck! Denis

I've just downloaded some of the Ellington (Newport 1968 and Congo Square 1970) and a Basie (Newport 1959) but they are only now offering mp3 downloads. I don't suppose anyone has flac downloads of these or any of the other Ellington or Basie concerts in flac form? Thanks Denis

I'm in the UK too but I did receive mine shortly before Christmas.

I don't suppose anyone has @jeffcrom 's breakdown of the 3cd Collector's Choice set? I've just messaged him, but I'm not sure if he still looks in on the forum. Thanks in advance Denis

Storyville sell some cd-rs for the early Duke Ellington Treasury Show cds (I think I guessed up o around Volume 11 or 12 but I can't be sure). I haven't had a problem when buying any new release Storyville cds (and this makes me much more inclined to buy them sooner rather than later).

Yes, it is.

I bought mine direct from them at a record fair last year (which seems like a lifetime ago at this stage) and it was a factory pressed cd.

No-one (or at least not me) is saying anything different. But in 2020 some labels do sell cd-rs and I don't think it is unreasonable for someone to ask. In lots of ways, Storyville do a fantastic job but they do sell cd-rs on at least some of their back catalogue. As far as I can tell there is nothing on their website that indicates this, so suggesting a quick search wouldn't always pick such an issue up.

Storyville, to give one example, produce cd-rs rather than cds, at least in some cases, so it isn't an unreasonable question. I have the first three volumes of the Sam Rivers series and, as noted above, these are factory pressed cds.

Did you order directly from Bandcamp?

Funkier than I was expecting!

The Sun Ra lp has just been released on a (legit) download. https://sunramusic.bandcamp.com/album/unity-live-at-storyville-nyc-oct-1977

Her version of Blues in the Night is my favourite Ella song.

The Paris concert

Dusty Groove list it as a 4cd set. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/966409?sf=Sun+ra+egypt&incl_oos=1&incl_cs=1&kwfilter=Sun+ra+egypt&sort_order=artist

I thought that I had them but can't seem to find them on my server, so perhaps not. I'd be interested if anyone else has them.

My assumption is that it is three cds containing everything but I didn't check before ordering! It is too pricey to be one cd. The email strut sent out this afternoon referred to a cd box.
