That's good news, but Half needs to catch up with Amazon.
-
Getz, Stan Dynasty Verve 15 2-cds I want this if this the older one with ten tracks, vs. the newer one with 9.
-
As someone who has bought and sold a few things on half.com and Amazon, I find it troubling when they made the switch of billing the customer's credit card immediately instead of waiting for the vendor to confirm that the item was in stock. I tried ordering a new release for a Christmas gift, though I had to send three PMs to get the seller to respond that they were out of stock. There ought to be a 48 hour window for a seller to confirm before a customer's credit card can be billed.

Do you know what your collection is worth?
Ken Dryden replied to mikelz777's topic in Miscellaneous Music
It depends. Replacement cost policies are available, otherwise you're going to have it deprecitated from the acquisition cost for each item. I doubt many of us have the price we paid for every album and CD (my collection began almost 37 years ago), while replacing out of print Mosaics and the like would get interesting. I have such coverage, but I've never had to test it for my music. -
The legal costs can be enormous to collect any funds from either outright bootleg labels or those who skirt the 50 year time frame on reissues in Europe. That's why labels and artists rarely attempt to fight them.

Fortunately, I've already acquired most of the Rounder albums that I desired. I'm not hopeful about Concord reissuing out of print things or keeping valuable Rounder releases in print. Sorry folks, but digital downloads are not the equivalent of physical CDs, in my view. Ever try to get an artist to autograph an MP3 file or a burned CDR from one?

Jazz DVDs for Sale (and a couple of Blues DVDs too)
Ken Dryden replied to Dan Gould's topic in Offering and Looking For...
PM sent on the Farmer DVD. -
I just acquired Booker Little in New York (Jazz View) only to discover I have a copy. Available for $5 + $2 shipping, what I paid for it through this board. I also have other CDs but don't have time to find the thread and repost them.

Duke: Carnegie Hall Concerts: 1943-1947
Ken Dryden replied to mjzee's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Bernie died a few years ago. As I remember, the earlier CD reissues of some of the Carnegie Hall Concerts deleted one or more tracks. None of them is really complete, even on the LP sets, as the producer(s) tried to choose unusual material instead of the same favorites over and over. -
Ho do you set the amount for used cds?
Ken Dryden replied to porcy62's topic in Offering and Looking For...
It really depends on how badly people want an out of print CD. While you probably can't get a premium price within a bulletin board, it is possible to sell stuff through Amazon and half.com. For example, I sold Out of the Blue: Live at Mt. Fuji, which I had picked up at a used CD store for $2, for around $20 on half.com. I've had luck with other long out of print CDs as well. Just don't try to sell Amani A.W. Murray's CD here, you'd be lucky to get the postage, if that. -
Ho do you set the amount for used cds?
Ken Dryden replied to porcy62's topic in Offering and Looking For...
That's a good start, though you also want to note the condition and to which countries you will ship, what typical postage charges will be (most people will have to contact you for an estimate), what type of payment you except (Paypal is generally preferred by many people), if you offer insurance in the case of large orders. Also be sure to list the label. You also want to be certain that you are comparing the exact edition of a CD to the one you see at Amazon. Many CDs have come out in several different editions with the same title, with additional or bonus tracks, different packaging or liner notes, etc. Good luck. -
For you Andrew Hill fans, MVD has just issued a solo DVD session, which was taped in HD. I haven't yet had a chance to view it.

Is rap tomorrow's jazz?
Ken Dryden replied to BeBop's topic in Jazz In Print - Periodicals, Books, Newspapers, etc...
I don't remember too many jazz artists killing each other in violent feuds, though more than a few went to jail for repeated drug offenses (usually possession, not selling). As for rap being compared to jazz, forget it. Rappers are not musicians in my book, just lousy poets who generally scream their drivel. The turntablists are just as useless to me. -
Some hard to find stuff for sale
Ken Dryden replied to connoisseur series500's topic in Offering and Looking For...
PM sent on Hot Stuff From Brazil. -

I wonder if they used the original defective offspeed master for part of Kind of Blue?

FS: Tyrone Washington Natural Essence
Ken Dryden replied to Pete B's topic in Offering and Looking For...
This CD is out of print, while the only Amazon copy is listed for $96.25. Pete's price is a bargain! -
I doubt Mosaic will reissue popular sets of the past because they would have to pay the licensing fees once more and it might be risky to assume that such sets would sell out. Remember that they have often had problems selling Capitol sets, putting many of them on sale.

Pacific Jazz question - one for James Harrod most likely
Ken Dryden replied to romualdo's topic in Discography
Lord's Discography is hardly immune to errors, as he not only doesn't have physical access to every record or CD, but he duplicates errors on released recordings as well as inserting some typos of his own. For example, I acquired CDRs of all of the unissued music remaining from Jaki Byard's The Last From Lennie's session so I was able to not only correct song titles but to fill out what exactly remained in the can. While I shared that information with him, I have found it too time consuming to provide further updates to him without any incentives. -
List updated with additions.

Album Covers That Make You Say "Uhhhh...."
Ken Dryden replied to JSngry's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Whoever designed that KNEW what it would look like and managed to get it through senior management. I wonder what Urlaubs means. MG I remember Ariola being a Dutch label, as they issued some Flying Burrito Bros. LPs back in the early 1970s. -
I have a long list of wants, so pm me if you are interested in a trade. I can provide specific condition on any title, though the condition of most discs is near mint. If shipping is required, $2 for the first CD and 50 cents for each additional title should be sufficient for first class mail.
