Dang, and I just bought the regular CD issue - it's one of the albums that was in constant rotation in my childhood, and it was great to hear it again. Three of the bonus tracks are on the CD, so I guess the most interesting thing would be the amazon exclusive, but this whole thing ist just too darn expensive. They really ought to be able to add some more music if they want us to pay that much!

Happy Birthday, Ray!

Glossiness has nothing to do with quality. Mosaic booklets are now printed on much cheaper stock than those of old. If they were still using high quality paper, I would seriously have to question Cuscuna's business sense in this day and age. And the fact that some booklets have thicker, heavier paper? Nothing to do with quality? (I'm not sure which ones have that, ... but the European Quincy is one, I think.)

(They seem to have had a blackout in Italy, too - hence Holland partly on double bass and Chick on wood flute... no money for a piano in Italy you know, they had to sell it in order to pay the mob ) (Here's the Rome link: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=691027) But this one from Paris is interesting: Rooster, here's Stockholm: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=691105 They do the title tune "Bitches Brew", it seems. Not sure if there are any other examples.

Acting as devil's advocate: It's too expensive. It's beyond the 100$ threshold. I know Mosaic keeps telling that sets sized less than 7CDs aren't feasible... but sets in the 4-5CD range are cheap enough to be bought on impulse, whilst a 7CD box is just too much for that. There's various sides to every apect, I'm sure. I'll definitely want the Hawkins box, but there's plenty of other sets from the past three or four years I still don't have. WHOAH, that's one big booklet! When was the last time Mosaic included such a thick booklet? (Too bad about the error, though!)

Gee, I wish him all the best!

Absolutely! I've heard some (but not all, alas) of the complete sets and I'd LOVE to get all of it! The sets are short, they'd fit onto 3CDs easily (if one gets torn apart, which would be silly, taking into account how cheap a CD actually is... but the cover art would have to be changed... but then I do hope they change that anyway to add one more slot for the booklet!)

Sorry for having started that rumour - not sure what went on in my brain when I posted that

some amazing newly found music up here: http://electricjive.blogspot.ch/2012/05/love-for-free-hidden-south-african-jazz.html and some great photos, too!

I missed the last one (apologies) but would like to get a DL, Stefan - can't guarantee I'll post this time, though. Hope that's okay!

Oh fuck no! I just recently found out about him!

I'd be all for a second LQ set, indeed! (and thanks, Larry!)

Neither do I... Both sets from Antibes? Sure? That would be just great! Those are great concerts. (Though I think some of the fall concerts are even better!) Yes, I do agree - to me, the November tour is kind of the main oeuvre of the Lost Quintet - so the balance of that new set is somewhat off, I find.

Where are they regurgitating the Copenhagen DVD? Not in this set, apparently. Sorry, just noticed my bad... DVD is from Berlin. Not sure how I got to this mix-up.

Am I alone in finding it pretty lame to re-pack the Copenhagen DVD that was in the BB Anniversary set already? They could have done better than that! (Or maybe they still can!)

Got it. Thanks again. If it's all pretty much on other Mosaics I'm not bothered by this. It may be on the McDermott Mosaic. "Been out there" in this case means in plenty a form and shape, but not necessarily on Mosaic...

You don't like the recent stuff? Or are you reacting to the funny guys above?

Another good one, from one of their few reunion concerts (which alas, I all missed): http://www.intaktrec.ch/rev170-a.htm

Happy Birthday! :party:

okay - I mis-read, thought Berlin was part of the audio part also... but if that's on DVD, it will indeed fit, and it will be great! Though there ought to be a second volume covering the November concerts in depth...

Both sets from Antibes? Sure? That would be just great!

Too expensive to ship over the pond... but I'm looking forward to hearing it a lot! Saw the group last november and it was great!
