  21. Another Mosaic Armstrong to come out this August.

    in Mosaic and other box sets...

    Posted

    I'm sure that Mosaic Records has been in the limited edition boxed set game long enough that they have learned a few things, though it is likely impossible to predict whether a set will set out before the lease is up. I'm sure the owners of recordings they would like to issue are holding out for more money in many cases, while it is always nice to have the music packaged in a more intelligent manner vs. scattered over numerous CDs and LPs, with detailed liner notes and period photos missing from earlier issues. It seemed like they frequently had sales on sets of Capitol recordings, so maybe they are shying away from further releases from that label. Also, by producing only 3,500 sets, they may be lowering leasing costs and taking on less risk than they did with larger runs. This is all guesswork, I've never run a record label...

    Yeah, other than the generic packaging photos used by Mosaic (which I understand is a budgetary decision in order to divert most of the funds into the real contents of the box), my only complaint about their sets would be when CD hub is super tight, making CD extraction a thing requiring almost archeological sensitivity and precision.  

    I have mentioned the tight hub issue to Scott at Mosaic in the past and I think they solved that problem. I can remember thinking that I was going to break a cd by trying to get it off the spindle.

    I have no problem with Mosaic’s outer packaging.
